I Love #1's - 1988

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!

Yes, I took an interest in the charts from '86 as well, but only became truly obsessed in '88 (hunched over my tape recorder with the finger on the pause button to record everything I liked). So seeing this poll made me both excited and warm and fuzzy but just a teeny bit sad that I can't quite recapture that feeling - in this year music WAS my life, a completely all-enveloping obsession to the exclusion of all else. That wouldn't quite be practical now but I kind of miss the feeling that this this was utterly 100% the most important thing in the world.
