Here's my weekly look at the Top 30 from 26 years ago. The plan is for these posts to go out at 17:30 on a Sunday.
Here is the Top 40 in full.
I've decided against repetition from previous weeks moving forward so will only feature the records I'm reviewing for the first time. I also won't repeat the reviews from the Top 20 in 1999 Reviewed posts.
Once again my opinions are inevitably going to differ from other people, but I'm not trying to convince anyone something is good or rubbish, I'm simply giving my opinion.
So this is the records new to the top 30 from this week in 1999 with my verdict on each record:
This was a cover of the Ken Boothe record which was their final Top 40 hit from their "Labour of Love III" album. The issue I have with this record is that Shaggy also did a cover and his version is a lot better. I'm struggling to enjoy this record as a result.
Verdict - Rubbish
BMR is an alias of Boris Dlugosch and I guess you could describe this record as being a proper dance record. However, it just sounds too generic for my liking and there really isn't a lot about this record to like.
Verdict - Rubbish
I once knew someone called Georgy and I asked if they knew the record "Georgy Porgy" by Eric Benet to which they responded I was one of many to ask that question. Maybe not specifically that question though as this was a cover of a record by Toto. Furthermore though it's based on a nursery rhyme which was most likely the question they were asked by others. It's not a great record.
Verdict - Rubbish
Many people will no doubt remember the Puff Daddy ft Faith Evans chart topper, but I would speculate not too many people will remember this Faith Evans ft Puff Daddy record. There's a reason for that, it's shit.
Verdict - Rubbish
If we give the records which were good 1 point each and those which were OK half a point, the final score is 17.5/30, or 58%. Quite an improvement on last week.
