Top 30 in 1999 Reviewed: Week 25

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 Top 40 hit number 14 for Bjork and her final Top 40 hit of the 90s. We've definitely reached the era of Bjork that few people remember. You pretty much know what to except, a record that's haunting, not very catchy but more crucially not very good.

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 13.5/30, or 45%. Bjork preventing us from maintaining last weeks score.
