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:
German trance DJ Mike Koglin made his Top 40 debut the previous year with "The Silence" which was basically a trance remake of "Enjoy the Silence" by Depeche Mode. This was his other hit and this time he's brought in vocals. This makes the record a bit crap in my opinion.
Verdict - Rubbish
The Beastie Boys have a rock element to "Remote Control" and is a decent enough record. It's all about the other side of the double a-side though "3 MCs and 1 DJ". This is what proper hip hop music is, all about the beats and the rhymes.
Verdict - Good / Good
If we give the records which were good 1 point each and those which were OK half a point, the final score is 12/30, or 40%. We slip again.
