Top 30 in 1999 Reviewed: Week 46

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:

30. Madison Avenue - Don't Call Me Baby

This was a chart topper in the year 2000 but originally charted in 1999. I remember this in 1999 and was quite baffled why it returned to the charts more successfully the following year as there were so many better dance records that could have done the same. I don't mind it though.

Verdict - OK

28. Marc Anthony - I Need To Know

Marc Anthony is best known in the UK as the musician who was once married to Jennifer Lopez. I'd guess many would struggle to name one of his records though. This was his only solo effort in the Top 40. It's a Latin pop record and based on this I don't think we've been missing out on his lack of chart success in the UK.

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 11/30, or 37%. Can we get to 50% one more time?
