A somewhat uncontroversial week, I'm disappointed to be honest that the Bananarama won it, it's adequate but not much else, very much someone wanting a "Cant Get You Out Of My Head" of their own, and it sounds a bit dated to me.

I'm quite pleased that the SSJ has recruited a real actual rockist too who will give good records zero.

(A 9 for Bonnie Prince Billy from Mr. Macpherson? Anyone would think he was indie or something!)

'It Must Have Been Love' is my Roxette pick.

IMHBL has one of my very favourite pop moments of the 90s - the bit where Marie goes "but it's over NOW!" - specifically, the "NOW" that immediately precedes the "it's where the water flows" bit. That one note = heartbreaker.

Also, feel inclined to stand up for "Wish I Could Fly" for featuring the word "ajar", a much under-used words.

Per is still having moderately-sized hits in Sweden. All dull ballads, too.
