Top 30 in 1999 Reviewed: Week 48

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:

27. The Lightning Seeds - Life's Too Short

Dance music was so big in 1999 that it seemed like everyone was jumping on the bandwagon. This included The Lightning Seeds with this record, a departure from their more guitar orientated sound from a couple of years earlier. It's actually a decent record and was their final Top 40 hit to date.

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 10.5/30, or 35%. I feel I was right in predicting the last week that was above 50% would be the last one.
