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:
Phats & Small had made quite and impact with their Top 40 debut "Turn Around". Now here they are remixing "September" by Earth, Wind And Fire. I can't help but think they missed a trick by not waiting another month until they released it. Another disco remake house style that's quite good.
Verdict - Good
I feel like I've said this a number of times before for other records, but this sounds like the ultimate American high school record and not in a good way. There's something about a lot of these American high school type records that if anything made me grateful that I never went to an American high school.
Verdict - Rubbish
When I was doing my yearly chart reviews I picked this as my record of the year for 1999. It's one of my all time favourites, a great bit of soulful house music that really can't be beaten. All I can say is give it a listen and get lost in the groove.
Verdict - Good
This record has quite a distinct intro to it and gives the sense that this is going to be a good record. Unfortunately the intro is as good as it gets, one the record properly kicks in it just sounds average at best. I'll reflect that in the score.
Verdict - OK
If we give the records which were good 1 point each and those which were OK half a point, the final score is 14.5/30, or 48%. Back to that ever familiar score.
