I Love #1's - 1979

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

A last ditch effort from East 17 couldn't dislodge Whigfield's Saturday Night from claiming victory with a massive 37 ticks last week, making the Danish mime artist Queen of 1994. And of course everyone loves Take That even though Sure was a bit of a rubbish single. This week we have another bumper selection for you. As many ticks as you like, for... 1979!

I ticked everything except 'Bright Eyes,' because I have no idea what it sounds like. Not quite sure about 'One Day At A Time,' but what the hell.

I ticked 'Another Brick' and 'YMCA' because they are irresistible and therefore classic, albeit annoyoing.

I always tell myself I don't like Pink Floyd much, then people keep saying "what about Song X" and I go "apart from Song X which is quite good".

All-important removal of the equals sign, there!!!

Best year ever

I ticked all but Lena and Dr Hook. I once suggested on ILM that this was the worst #1 and #2 combination in any week of the UK Top 40 ever. And was promptly reprimanded by hobart paving.

My sister and I had to buy the 7" of "Bright Eyes" for my mum. I didn't like it at the time, but probably only because of its ubiquity. It soon grew on me. Also: RIP bunnycam :(

Pete rode his bike into it!

He did, but I think the cam was already f*cked before that - after his jaunt over the wall to House Next Door, Glyn trod on it to get back down again.
