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 the Top 40 debut for DMX which was from his 2nd album "Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood". It's a pretty calm record by DMX standards, I guess that eased people in to his other material. I own said album and all his other early albums, so I was quite a fan.
Verdict - Good
This was the other hit for Barenaked Ladies and their final Top 40 hit to date. As mentioned with their big hit, they were an all male band despite their name. This was written by a different band member, but I can't help but think it's all been done in their big hit and I didn't like that one.
Verdict - Rubbish
There were a number of trance records that were by Ferry Corsten under different names. He'd already had a Top 40 hit as System F and now here he is alongside Vincent De Moor as Veracocha. It's the sort of record that would divide opinion, some would say it's good and euphoric and some will say it's crap and obvious. I'm one of those who likes it.
Verdict - Good
If we give the records which were good 1 point each and those which were OK half a point, the final score is 17/30, or 57%. The same as last week.
