• Shoot that old chart from 1990 so we can stop the bleeding.

    From Chris Brown@21:1/5 to All on Mon May 24 10:46:33 2021
    Another RIP for Wondress, heard here on the less familiar of her two Top 10 hits with Mantronix. He is one of the acts common to this and the 1986 chart last week, though not everyone’s career has gone the same way.

    Playlists are here: don’t worry, Billy Joel’s not swearing he’s just saying “Nantucket”

    Chart dated 26 May 1990

    1. (1) Adamski - Killer

    Still sounds incredible 30yrs on.

    9. (10) Beats International - Won't Talk About It

    Disappointing follow up. Album was poor.

    13. (8) Alannah Myles - Black Velvet

    Mmmm loved this at the time. Always imagined I'd visit Memphis.

    17. (13) Snap! The Power

    Another one that dominated at welsh camp

    18. (15) Heart - All I Want To Do Is Make Love To You

    Didn't get the subtlety in the lyrics at 12, good story song

    33. (58) Betty Boo - Doin' The Do

    Briefly massive, faded quickly

    39. (33) Emma - Give A Little Love Back To The World

    Eurovulsion. Seem to recall she was only a kid and got a rough time off the press.

    48. (NE) Kym Mazelle - Useless (I Don't Need You Now)

    Always thought she had slim picking for her talent

    51. (NE) Wilson Phillips - Hold On

    Decent summer hit. Can't remember anything else they did apart from
    'release me' which was extremely similar

    56. (84) Gloria Estefan - Cuts Both Ways

    Definitely in the soppy ballad era for her

    72. (54) The B-52s - Love Shack

    Heavily associated with a trip to welsh camp earlier in the year

    77. (50) Crystal Palace FC and the Fab Four - Glad All Over/ Where Eagles
    Fly

    Cup final. Lost to ManU

    78. (60) Shakin' Stevens - Yes I Do

    Good god is he still going? I thought he packed up after that murderous
    cover of 'feel the need in me'

    89. (95) Happy Mondays - Madchester Rave On EP

    Hung around the charts for a while in early 90s
