I Love #1's - 1988

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Last week everyone's favourite Russian faux-lesbians Tatu won their battle with Bouncey & the 'Babes to claim best number one of 2003, with a whopping 46 ticks. Poor old Snedders fared as badly as his follow-up single with only 2 votes of confidence, though looking at the text box some might say Gary Jules was the greater hate figure of the year (blatantly because you all had a tenner on 'Proper Crimbo' to hit the Xmas top spot instead). Now we come to the year where SmallKat first discovered the the magical world of the pop charts - 1988!

You say the run from rick astley, but surely the 4 before that were also ACE... PSB's only decent song, so-so Madge #1, wedding party anthem by Los Lobos, and quality King Of Pop track?

Agree though, what a great run of #1 singles! They don't make 'em like that any more.

> PSB's only decent song

You're treading on dangerous ground there, Mr Graham. The love for PSB in this community is fierce.

I think Mr Graham's card has been marked since he declared a Supergrass track "the only good thing on this NOW"!
