Top 30 in 1999 Reviewed: Week 51

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:

28. Beastie Boys - Alive

This was the 10th Top 40 hit for the Beastie Boys which made them the 6th rap act to make it to double figures in terms of Top 40 hits. Their music got better as time went on, it was questionable in the beginning but then records like this are what I call proper hip hop.

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 8/30, or 27%. Just one more week to go.
