"Australian Fun Countdowns" collects these hits and sorts them into various lists. By combining sales, and chart runs, these songs have been sorted in order of their success.
Charts used are Kent Music Charts, Go Set Charts, Australian Music Report and ARIA.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Every artist has their year, and every year has its artist. Sometimes a year can be shaped by that artist, or the artist by that particular year.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Since 1956, when 45's and Singles Charts were starting to establish themselves, we've seen many heroes in the pop world. Their music output, fashion style and political views, just to name a handful of elements, have helped shape pop music from its crackly beginnings to the crystal clear sounds of now.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">This list is all about association. Everyone has their favourite year in music, and favourite star from that time. How many times have you heard someone reminisce about the good old days of The Beatles and Elvis, the fun times of Elton and Abba, the visual spectacle of Michael Jackson and Madonna, the diva power of Mariah and Celine, or the teen sensation of Britney and Justin. They remember the times and remember the exact years.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">For me, there are a few particular years. 1984 saw the arrival of Madonna, Cyndi Lauper and George Michael's Wham!, three bright stars from a very rich field of entertainers whose colourful pop music was all hit and no miss. 1990 produced some brilliant and memorable music, with dance music starting to creep into the mainstream and CD singles market starting to make its impact on the charts. 2000 finally saw the death of novelty singles that had been selling bucketloads, and the return of pop heroes such as Kylie, Robbie Williams and, again, Madonna. And after a tragic few years during the mid-00's, dogged by instant stars producing mediocre music, 2007 saw the charts embracing more sensible pop music again, headlined by new stars Justin Timberlake and P!nk.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">So what's your favourite year, and can you remember who was the brightest star?</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">The mother band of many future bands and solo acts, New Zealand's Split Enz had a little trouble establishing themselves as a serious act. For five years, the clown-like image of the band over-shadowed their musical output, however, they always sold solidly in Australia. The late 70's saw a slight line-up change with key member Tim Finn's brother, Neil, permanently joining, replacing guitarist Phil Judd who went on to form The Swingers. Tim used this shuffle to reshape the band into a more accessible outfit, with the resulting album, 1980's "True Colours". The lead single, "I Got You", was #1 in Australia for a full two months (and biggest selling single of the year), reached the British Top 20, and gave the band their first taste of US airplay. Another couple of Top 20 singles, "I Hope I Never" (#18) and "One Step Ahead" (#5 in 1981), rounded out their successful year. Split Enz would go on to enjoy another three Top Ten hits, and two #1 albums, before parting ways, with Tim Finn enjoying success as a solo artist, and Neil Finn forming Crowded House.</span></span></span></div>

Adam & the Ants had only been together for a short time, eventually donning the pirate-like style they became famous for. It worked a treat as their fans, or "Antpeople", made almost any Ant release a Top 20 success. "Antmania" was headlined with two Top Ten albums, "Kings Of The Wild Frontier" and "Prince Charming" (#2 and #9 respectively). From the latter, "Stand And Deliver" (#12) and the title track (#4) would cement them as the act of the year, but it was "Antmusic" (from </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">"Kings"</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">) that would make the band. It was an Australian #1 hit for five weeks, and the third biggest seller of the year. The song was a good example of the rhythmic drum patterns that were typical of the bands' style. It was a short-lived success, though, as Adam & the Ants disbanded the following year. A moderately successful solo career for Adam followed, and various stage, film and TV series appearances. But 1981 was his year with The Ants.</span></span></span></span></span></div>

It held the top spot in Australia for six weeks, becoming the second biggest selling single of the year. A couple of minor releases book-ended the hit, "Bustin' Loose" (#43) and "Sweet Cherie" (#51), but it was their year end Top 20 hit, "Winners" (#12), that pushed them ahead of Survivor to become the biggest singles artist of the year. The bands' debut album, "Days Of Innocence" also hit #1 as the band was gaining momentum in the US with "What About Me", opening the door for some film tracks, including the </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Footloose </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">soundtrack in 1984. Formed in Sydney, Moving Pictures boasting a talented line-up that would figure on many successful Australian albums to come, however, not their own. They disbanded in 1987, never repeating their 1982 success. Only Garry Frost would figure on the charts again as the founding member of 1927, finding more success than he did with his previous band. "What About Me" is the closest any song has been to becoming the years' highest selling single, twice. While the original was runner-up in 1982, Australian Idol contestant, Shannon Noll, made it the highest selling single of 2004.</span></span></span></span></span></div>

Michael Jackson's "Thriller" broke all records to become the highest selling album in the world - of all time! With 1979's "Off The Wall" album, Michael was disappointed by the lack of accolades he had received, feeling rejected, but filling him with a positive outlook that his next album would be the biggest thing to hit music. That word he kept. He delivered hit single after hit single, with a #1 in the form of "Billie Jean", the fourth biggest seller of the year in Australia. Another five singles would chart during Michael's big year, but it was more than just the music that made "Thriller" such a significance. Michael's music videos soon became an event within themselves, regularly shown on MTV who had rarely shown clips from black artists. He also popularized his "Moonwalk" and that famous single white glove. Then came the Grammy's, and "Thriller" won a record eight gongs from its 12 nominations, just as he said he would. And there was still more juice left in the tank well into 1984 when he hit the Top Ten again with the title track, and its' 14 minute video clip - the most successful video clip of all time. The future of pop music had indeed arrived, and Michael Jackson was showing us all how to do it properly.</span></span></div>

George and bandmate, Andrew Ridgeley, were schoolmates, who would soon become one of the most popular faces of the 80's, with nine Top Ten hits, and a "Choose Life" motto that soon became the latest teen fashion item. The groups' #1 hit during 1984, "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go", is considered by many as their arrival, however, Wham! had, in fact, scored three Top Ten singles a year before from their debut album, "Fantastic". After some legal complications with their record company, something that would dog George for most of his career, they switched to Epic records and produced "Make It Big", an instant #1 on the Australian albums chart. "Careless Whisper" would see George return to the top spot, becoming the 4th biggest seller of the year ("Wake Me Up..." just behind as 5th biggest). "Careless Whisper" was promoted in Australia as George's debut solo outing, but as Wham! </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">featuring</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> George Michael in other countries. As it was included on the "Make It Big" album, along with "Freedom" and "Last Christmas" (both #3 hits), I've combined them all for this list. Whoever is identified with the release, George Michael and Wham! were everywhere during a very colourful year in music.</span></span></span></span></div>

So begins the global domination of the most successful female artist of all time. Madonna originally set out to become a dancer and soon found herself as a backing dancer for Patrick Hernandez (of "Born To Be Alive" fame) and drummer for The Breakfast Club, a band formed by her then boyfriend, Stephen Bray. By 1982, Madonna found herself in front of the mic, and a debut album soon followed, met in Australia with instant success and placing her as one the Top Ten biggest artists of the year. But Madonna was destined for bigger things. She started 1985 at the top of the charts with "Like A Virgin", and followed through with another five Top Ten hits. That's six out of six Top Tens for the year! But that wasn't the pinnacle of her success, not yet. In July, Madonna replaced herself at #1 when "Crazy For You" took over from the double A-side hit, "Angel / Into The Groove", something that hadn't happened since Abba, and not to happen again until 2009 when The Black Eyed Peas achieved the rare double. Madonna came in at #2 and #3 on the end of year highest selling chart of 1985, behind USA For Africa's "We Are The World", with a further three in the Top 100, "Like A Virgin" (#25), "Material Girl" (#48) and "Dress You Up" (#76). Madonna was adamant that she was going to be a success everywhere, starring in a couple of movies, "Desperately Seeking Susan" and "Shanghai Surprise", co-starring with her new husband, Sean Penn. She even managed a huge world tour, </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">The Virgin Tour</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">, the hottest ticket in town. All this happened in one year! And it was only the beginning.</span></span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">1986 was quite a lack-luster year in terms of personal musical output. Most artists had just one hit each, and a handful would repeat with a second. Only Madonna could achieve a third Top Ten hit within the year. However, the battle for the biggest single for the year was a close one between Diana Ross' "Chain Reaction" and Billy Ocean's "When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going". Diana won in the end, but Billy Ocean scored another Top Ten hit, "There'll Be Sad Songs" (#10) to put him in front as the biggest singles seller of the year. Exactly 10 years earlier, Billy first tasted chart success in Australia when his 1976 release, "Love Really Hurts Without You", reached #3. He made a nice comeback late 1984 with a trio of hits, "Caribbean Queen" (#2), "Loverboy" (#7) and "Suddenly" (#15), but it was "Tough..." that finally saw Billy reach #1 in Australia. The song was from the movie, </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Jewel Of The Nile</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">, and featured the films' three lead actors, Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner and Danny De Vito in the film clip as backing singers. This, however, would cause the video to be banned by the BBC due to the use of the non-union singers, even if they were just miming. Billy Ocean's success continued in 1988 with another #1 hit, "Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car", but during the quieter year of 1986, he was lucky to stand out as the performer of the year.</span></span></div>

Icehouse released the album that would make them the mega-stars they had worked so hard to become. "Man Of Colours" was the band's fifth album, and first #1, boasting five Top 30 hits, the first time this had been done by an Australian band from a single album. The big one was "Electric Blue", also a #1 first for the band on the singles' chart, which nestled at #8 on the end of year chart (the lead single, "Crazy", also achieving an impressive #18 year end). Iva Davies and the boys had come along way since their "cover band" days, and debut as Flowers. With four Top Ten singles and four Top Ten albums previous to "Man...", it seemed a trifle compared to the 11 week run at the top by the mighty album, soon becoming one of the biggest selling Australian albums of all time. The following year, as Australia celebrated its bicentennial, Icehouse were kept in the spotlight with a further two moderately successful singles from the album, and a string of concerts, one of which I saw during Expo '88, in Brisbane. A "Greatest Hits" package followed in 1989, a notorious jinx for many pop acts, and Icehouse were no exception. 1990's "Code Blue" bombed in comparison, leaving "Man Of Colours" as Icehouse's brightest moment.</span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

With three major artists from the SAW stalls making this years' Top Ten biggest artists, it was hard to escape their brand of bubblegum pop. Rick Astley was the jewel in the crown for them, with his huge #1 hit, "Never Gonna Give You Up" becoming the biggest selling single of the 80's. He was quite a different pop artist from the rest. His deep baritone voice confused many into thinking he was African-American, his dress style was very conservative at the time, and his moves were quite something in themselves. But soon everyone knew who Rick was, as his album, "Whenever You Need Somebody", soon hit #1 spending almost a year in the Top 100. Starting out the year at #1 with "Never Gonna...", he followed it up with the #3 title track from the album, and a third Top 5 with his cover of "When I Fall In Love". The three came in #8, #12 and #76 respectively on the end of year charts of 1988. There was no rest for the Rick(ed) when a new album hit the charts exactly a year after his debut. The album, "Hold Me In Your Arms" was no where near as popular as "Whenever...", only managing a #14 peak, but still provided him with a moderate hit in "She Wants To Dance With Me" (#15) that saw him remain in the charts right to the end of the year. Rick finally took that break after the new album, returning in 1991 with "Free", without the aid of SAW. With the Top 20 hit, "Cry For Help", he was the only artist other than Kylie Minogue to find success after working with the producers. Rick's year was the second most successful of the 80's (behind Madonna's in 1985).</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

Returning with, "Like A Prayer", it was a mix of dance, funk, rock and soul, proclaimed by </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Rolling Stone</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> magazine "as close to art as pop music gets". Scented with patchouli oil (Madonna's favourite) to give it a church-like aroma, and including a fact sheet about AIDS, it was a unique marketing move that made the album a very personal one. Although the album was met with critical acclaim, it was also the most controversial the pop star had ever been. The title track, the biggest selling single of the year, featured a video of burning crosses and a "sexy" black Jesus that was censured by the Vatican. A lucrative Pepsi-Cola deal was cancelled due to public response and her upcoming world tour would be dogged with groups trying to hinder parts of her performance, including the infamous masturbation scene. However, it only heightened Madonna's profile, and the hits kept coming with two more Top Tens, "Express Yourself" (#5) and "Cherish" (#4, featuring a new song as a B-Side, rare for Madonna singles), and a couple of minor hits, "Oh Father" and "Dear Jessie" (both #51 peaks) rounding out the albums' output. "Like A Prayer" pretty much cemented Madonna's place in pop music history as one of the most interesting and successful careers ever, and one that had no signs of slowing down, even to this day!</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

The song was "Burning Up", it was #95, and then exited the following week. Five months later she returned to the charts, this time permanently. Just like a perspective home-buyer, it seemed she was checking things out, inspecting, for the Australian charts (not to mention world-wide charts) would soon be Madonna's home.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

Where many big time artists have little success with early releases, and seldom re-visit when it comes to concerts, Madonna was huge from the very start. She broke through with "Holiday", which reached #4 in Australia, and still performs it regularly at concerts 25 years on. With her second album, "Like A Virgin", the controversies really began. Madonna performed the title track at the 1984 VMA's in a white wedding dress, rolling around on the floor and even showing her, um...under-garments. Apparently she just dropped her shoe and couldn't put it on, but you can't buy good press without a little controversy. By the end of the decade, Madonna's career worked hand in hand with the media, using it to her advantage, and it worked. Not to say Madonna didn't do any of the work herself. Her drive and ambition has made her the most successful female artist of all time, and one of the biggest entertainers ever.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

Still controversial (the press were in a frenzy over "Papa Don't Preach" - was she pregnant, or was it an anti/pro-abortion statement?), the album saw Madonna shed the multi-coloured make-up and layered clothing, opting for a more mature look, with 1950's blonde hairdo and pretty dresses. It would soon become mandatory for Madonna to have a new look with each new album, and one that would influence the world of fashion itself. With the release of 1989's "Like A Prayer" album, we even saw Madonna changing her look with each single!</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

After six years of hard work, her chart success had garnered her 5 #1 singles, and 16 Top Ten hits, with a further three singles making the Top 20 (one of those "Burning Up", reaching #13 and making up for its poor showing in 1983). Only "Lucky Star" (#36) and "Oh Father" (#51) saw Madonna "flop", but realistically, Madonna peaking at #10 could be considered a flop against the rest of her releases.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

Her albums are met with anticipation and critical acclaim, even if they don't always spawn hit singles (however, she has never missed the Top Ten with a single release from a new studio album!). But when it comes to the 80's, just listen to Madonna's greatest hits package, "The Immaculate Collection" released in 1990, and re-live one of the most perfect early careers ever, arguably rivaling even The Beatles and Elvis.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Madonna began the new decade the same way she left the last! For the second year running, Madonna was on top. And for the second year running, poor Roxette had to play runners-up. The two acts were pretty much neck and neck on the end of year charts for both 1989 and 1990, but it was the December release of Madonna's </span></span><i><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Greatest Hits</span></span></i><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> package, "The Immaculate Collection", and new single "Justify My Love", that edged her ahead. Beginning a new decade the same way she finished the last, Madonna would see two #1 albums in the wake of her acclaimed "Like A Prayer" album, "Immaculate..." and "I'm Breathless". Featuring the dancefloor anthem, "Vogue" (#1 for 5 weeks and the third biggest seller for the year), "I'm Breathless" accompanied the film </span></span><i><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Dick Tracy</span></span></i><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> (starring her beau at the time, Warren Beatty), and was inspired by the music of the 20's and 30's in which the film was set. Her performance as Breathless Mahoney was well-received, and the Stephen Sondheim penned "Sooner Or Later" won the Oscar for Best Song. "Hanky Panky" (#6) was the only other single release from the album, a rather low output compared to her previous four albums. Madonna would soon release her finale to the first eight years of her career with "The Immaculate Collection", one of the most perfect </span></span><i><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Greatest Hits</span></span></i><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> albums ever released. Every song was a hit, and two new songs, "Justify My Love" (#4) and "Rescue Me" (#15), would follow suite. With current worldwide sales of 22 million, "The Immaculate Collection" stands as the all time biggest selling </span></span><i><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Greatest Hits</span></span></i><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> album by a female artist. While "Vogue" would be Madonna's first and last #1 single in Australia during the 90's, she soon picked up the slack reaching the top spot a further five times in the 2000's. But the 90's would still be rich with Madonna, even if it wasn't quite the dizzying heights we were used to.</span></span></span></div>

Sure, lead singer Simon Day was a long way from the likes of Eddie Vedder and Kurt Cobain, but alternative music had found its opening act, proving there was a market in Australia for such music. Formed in 1986, Ratcat had released an EP and an album with little commercial success before signing to rooArt, a new independent label nurturing fellow "Aus-Alt" bands You Am I, The Hummingbirds and Custard, among others. In 1990, Ratcat released "Tingles", a 6-track EP featuring the catchy "That Ain't Bad". Entering the charts in October '90, it was #1 seven months later, the longest a single has ever taken to reached the top spot after first entering the charts. That slow and building success of "Tingles" helped it become the second biggest selling single (or EP) of 1991, and paved the way for the immediate #1 smash of "Don't Go Now", featuring Margaret Urlich and Robin St. Clare (from The Hummingbirds) on backing vocals. With two #1's under their belt, their success crossed over to the albums charts when the bands' second album, "Blind Love", debuted at #1. However, that success wasn't to last when a third single, "Baby Baby", stalled at #21. It wasn't long before Ratcat returned to obscurity. Over the coming years, Ratcat released a further couple of albums and string of singles, but with little success, however, they have remained together (with new bass player), occasionally appearing at various music festivals.</span></span></span></span></div>

On one hand you had the biggest selling single of the year from Billy Ray Cyrus, with no other releases, finishing runner-up for the year. On the other hand, seven moderately selling singles each from Michael Jackson and Prince, put them in the years Top Ten despite having NO singles in the end of year Top 50 biggest sellers. But it was Guns N' Roses who had both - five charting singles and the second biggest seller of the year with "November Rain". In late 1991, the "Gunners" released "Use You Illision 1 & 2", two albums that would spawn enough singles and achieve enough album sales to keep most acts happy for an entire decade. "Live And Let Die" started their year out in fine form briefly appearing in the Top Ten before "November Rain" and "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" dominated the charts. The two singles had extremely lengthy chart runs ("November" would spend almost half a year in the Top Ten alone!) prompting healthy sales, but only managing #5 and #12 peaks respectively. Late in the year, another single, "Yesterdays" (#14) was released, giving Guns N' Roses three Top 50 singles and two Top 10 albums charting at the same time. But that was just one side of things. In 1991, Axl, Slash and the rest of the boys had started out on a major world tour in support of the albums that would last 28 months, eventually playing 192 shows. It was a mammoth event that broke record after record and created new ones along the way. They reached Australia's shores early 1993, and the three singles were in the Top 30, while the two albums, together with previous releases, "Appetite For Destruction" and "GN'R Lies", were all charting in the Top 20 album charts. Things eventually settled down, and Guns N' Roses would soon take a well deserved break - forever. Given that the "Use Your Illusion" project could satisfy any bands' entire career, that's precisely what we got from the Gunners, and nothing more bar a one-off covers "flop", "The Spaghetti Incident?". We waited another 15 years for a proper follow-up, but 2008's "Chinese Democracy" suffered the same fate as "Spaghetti". Guns N' Roses had made their mark, and it was "Use Your Illusion", in '92.</span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

Whitney won Round One with one of the biggest hits of all time, "I Will Always Love You", the second biggest seller of the year, pipping Sonia Dada's "You Don't Treat Me No Good", #3 for the year. Sonia Dada's follow-up proved more popular as "You Ain't Thinking (About Me)" reached the Top 3 against Whitney's "I'm Every Woman", just missing the Top Ten. A further three minor hits from Whitney, "I Have Nothing" (#28), "Run To You" (#72) and "Queen Of The Night" (#88), edged her ahead to take out the year as most successful singles artist. Her performance in the film was met with mixed reviews (personally, I don't think she was that bad), but her chart performance was nothing short of amazing. With a career that had already boasted three #1's and two of the biggest selling albums of all time, it was soon overshadowed by "I Will Always Love You", a cover of Dolly Parton's original that would eventually be accredited 4xPlatinum for sales in Australia. Worldwide sales for the single reached 12 million, more than most albums achieve! "The Bodyguard" soundtrack broke a record of its own, becoming the highest selling soundtrack of all time. Whitney Houston spent the next few years on more film projects, releasing various soundtracks rather than "proper" albums. Finally, in 1998, "My Love Is Your Love", her first studio album in eight years, was released. It was a critical success but Whitney's personal life became dogged with rumours and scandal, which, itself, started to overshadow her musical career. But there was no taking away the monumental achievement Whitney Houston had scored with "I Will Always Love You" and her </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><i>Bodyguard</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> soundtrack.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

"Music Box" achieved an 11xPlatinum accreditation (eventually 13x) to become the highest selling album of 1994 (and decade, so far), a full three or four Platinums ahead of nearest rivals, releases from Michael Jackson, John Farnham and Madonna. "Music Box" also paved the way for fellow female artists, Celine Dion, Shania Twain and Alanis Morissette, to enjoy the same success, all releasing albums that would eventually outsell Mariah's album. It was clear the "female solo artist" would dominate the 90's. Debuting in 1990, Mariah built a slow but loyal following with three moderately successful albums before the arrival of 1993's "Music Box" and lead single, the Top Ten hit, "Dreamlover" (#7). She started the year out with two more Top Ten's, "Hero" (also #7) and "Without You" (#3), the Badfinger cover popularized by Nilsson. The final release from "Music Box" was "Anytime You Need A Friend" (#12), but Mariah was no where near finished for the year. A cover of the Diana Ross/Lionel Richie #1, "Endless Love" with Luther Vandross, hit the stores, while December 1994 saw the release of "Merry Christmas", a seasonal album that would enjoy Christmas success for many years to come, regularly re-entering the albums charts. From that album, "All I Want For Christmas Is You" was released, becoming a modern day Xmas carol. The single was catapulted to #2, as was the Luther duet, Mariah's highest chart placement in the singles' chart, so far. 1994 was definitely Mariah Carey's finest year in a career that would become unstable, but not extinct. 20 years on, you can still count on Mariah to provide us with a hit single, or major album, even if they may never reach the dizzying heights of "Music Box".</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">The 90's had already brought amazing success for European dance bands such as Black Box, Technotronic and 2 Unlimited, but it was Germany's The Real McCoy who really broke through to take out the award for 1995. It was a year full of unknown artists (the top five artists of the year all relative new comers) and The Real McCoy were right there at the beginning, debuting during the first week of '95 with their #1 smash, "Another Night" (the fifth biggest selling single of the year). By the end of the year, the band were still charting in the Top 20, this time with their fifth hit, "Automatic Lover (Call For Love)". In between, The Real McCoy scored a further two Top Ten hits, "Run Away" (#6) and "Love And Devotion" (#10) and a Top Ten album with "Another Night" (#6). The band themselves were still forming during the year, starting out as </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">M.C. Sar & the Real McCoy </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">with rapper/producer O-Jay coupled with singer Patsy Peterson. Backing vocalist Vanessa Mason was brought to the front shortly after their initial success, making just </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">The Real McCoy</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> a trio. But the success of 1995 must have gone to Patsy's head, and she left the group to pursue a solo career, with little result. Lisa Cork joined in '96 keeping The Real McCoy a trio, and would taste Top Ten success with the band the following year when they returned with "One More Time" (#3). That success would be their last, but the band is still together today, with O-Jay still at the helm (although he </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">did</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> leave for a while) and two new singers, Debbie Butts and Gemma Sampson taking over vocal duties.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">With yet another "diva" taking out the year as most successful artist, it was clear to see the 90's belonged to the girls. Madonna, Whitney and Mariah all passed their batons down to the new diva-queen, Celine Dion, who's 12xPlatinum album "Falling Into You" provided us with the third biggest seller of the year, "Because You Loved Me", and the epic "It's All Coming Back To Me Now", a Pandora's Box cover written by Jim Steinman, finally getting the airplay it deserved. Celine's rise to the top wasn't as sudden as many would think. Can you believe "Falling Into You" was actually Celine's 21st album? A 13 year-old Celine Dion released "La Voix Du Bon Dieu",</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; border-collapse: collapse; line-height: 19px;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">a French album (as were all her 80's albums) released in 1981. In 1990 with the release of her first English language, "Unison", Celine's singles started to chart, but nothing substantial, yet. With each (English language) release, she built her fan-base, peaking with "Falling...", her fourth English album which would go on to receive the Grammy's honour of Album Of The Year. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">At the end of the albums' run, world-wide sales would total 32 million units, 1 million of those in Australia alone (one of only six artists ever to sell over 1 million copies of an album in this country). During the 1996 Olympics Opening Ceremony, Celine Dion sang "The Power Of The Dream" which would join "Because You Loved Me" as a double A-side single, propelling it to #1 (at a time when everyone was "Macarena" crazy!). It was a fitting marriage of the greatest sporting ceremony in the world, with the most successful entertainer at the time.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">It was with great tragedy that Elton should wind up with the most singles sales for the year. On the 31st August, Princess Diana was killed in a car accident in Paris, sending shock waves around the world. She was buried a week later with a funeral service that became the most watched event in history. During that service, Elton performed a modified version of his 1973 hit, "Candle In The Wind", replacing the Marilyn Monroe character with Princess Di. It was a moving moment, and no doubt, a hard task for Elton John to carry out. "Candle In The Wind '97" was soon released as a single, accompanying "Something About The Way You Look Tonight", which had been released from Elton's "The Big Picture" album only weeks earlier. The double single would become the biggest selling single of all time, selling 37 million copies worldwide. In Australia, it was the years highest seller, accredited an amazing 14xPlatinum, an amount some of the biggest albums don't even achieve! It seems unfair that Elton should take out the award for 1997 considering it was his only single release, and the circumstances surrounding it. But 1997 was a bumper year, and to give it to any one artist other than Elton would be an injustice to the other huge acts that jammed our charts with brilliant hits. Hanson, Spice Girls, Aqua and Savage Garden battled the year out, and any one of the acts could have been crowned </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Artist Of The Year </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;">for</span></span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> any other year. B</span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">ut we were the real winners. Pop music hadn't sounded so good since, well, the 80's, especially during a decade that had seen many other genres take over the airwaves. 1997 was also the beginning of a trio of years that would see charting singles sell staggering amounts, as CD singles became cheaper and shipped in higher quantities. Many of the biggest selling singles of all time were from this period.</span></span></i></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">It was a year dominated by vocal groups with the boys (Five, Backstreet Boys, and Boyzone) up against the girls (All Saints, Spice Girls and B*Witched), with the uni-sex Steps thrown in for good measure. But it was good ol' country music that would shine, thanks to Shania Twain. Usually stylized by older singers, country music was beginning to find younger heroes, so a younger music buying public could indentify with an almost extinct genre. Billy Ray Cyrus and LeAnn Rimes had revived country music earlier in the decade, but 33 year old Shania Twain broke the barriers between one of the oldest genres of music, and modern day pop. Country music became sexy, seductive, and successful. Shania tested the waters during 1997, hitting the Top Ten with "(If You're Not In It For Love) I'm Outta Here" (#5). She followed up the following year with one of the biggest selling albums of the decade, "Come On Over". Featuring no less than four Top Five hits, the album would eventually gain the title of the biggest selling country album of all time, with 39 million sales worldwide. In her native Canada, of the albums sixteen tracks, eleven would reach the Top Five of the country charts! Back in Australia, the lead single, "You're Still The One", climbed to #1, while the follow-up, "From This Moment On" just missed, peaking at #2. The singles were #9 and #10 respectively on the ARIA end of year charts. 1999 would see more accolades for Shania, and even bigger success. The third single, "That Don't Impress Me Much" (#2), was the 8th biggest selling single of the year, and another, "Man! I Feel Like A Woman" (#4) would be a strong Platinum selling single, a rarity for fourth releases. But overall, "Come On Over" would become the biggest selling album of 1999, well ahead of the competition, and accredited 15xPlatinum, one of only a handful of albums to pass the 10xPlatinum mark for the decade. Since country music's revival in the 90's, it has maintained a high profile in the singles charts, but its image has been changed forever thanks to Shania.</span></span></span></div>

By 1999's end, Britney Spears would not only conquer the Australian (and worldwide) singles charts, she would celebrate her 18th birthday. I personally remember my 18th birthday as one of leaving school and wondering what to do with my life! Quite an eternity away from someone who became an instant millionaire with her first pop single. With Britney's debut, also came the debut of a new era of pop music, for the charts have been a playground for teenagers ever since. Sure, Tiffany, Debbie Gibson and even Kylie Minogue made their mark as teenagers, but after Britney, it was a necessity to be young to have any impact in the future market. That debut, "...Baby One More Time", itself causing a mini-controversy not unlike Madonna's early years, would become the biggest selling debut single of all time, </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';">and</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"> the biggest from a teenager. With a triple Platinum accreditation, only Lou Bega's "Mambo #5" could better "...Baby"'s sales for the year, but two successful follow-ups, "Sometimes" (#2) and "(You Drive Me) Crazy" (#12) ensured Britney was way ahead of the rest for Artist of the Year. Interestingly, Cher also enjoyed a huge year, err...sharing...eh hem, a huge year alongside Britney, even though she was exactly three times her age!!! Britney Spears had to endure the "new Madonna" tag, a daunting task for such a young performer, but throughout her first decade, one she has lived up to, causing controversy, entertainment, anticipation, and most importantly...hits!</span></span></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">By the end of the 90's, Madonna could rightly take her place alongside the likes of Elvis Presley and The Beatles as one of the biggest artists of all time. Even in 1000 years time, if music is even around then, I doubt anyone could dominate the Australian singles charts for </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">two</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> decades running. As the biggest singles artist of the 80's, and then again in the 90's, Madonna is definitely the most enduring recording artist of all time!</span></span></span></span></div>

And there was plenty of competition. Let's see what happened...</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">It was a huge decade for the diva, with many celebrating huge multi-Platinum album sales. Celine Dion enjoyed just six Top Ten hits, but what huge hits they were! Three #1's, and a respectable #2 single, collectively sold over half a million units. It seemed a breeze that Celine would figure at the very top of the decade list. But 1997's "Let's Talk About Love" album, boasting an array of special guest artists, stalled in the singles stakes, producing only the #9 duet with Barbra Streisand, "Tell Him". A Christmas album would fill in the end of the decade, but it was clear Celine was in retirement mode, which would officially take full effect in 2000.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Somewhat of a man-diva, Bryan Adams also had the decade wrapped up with four #1 hits, and another four Top Tens. Where Celine produced less music, Bryan just produced less blockbuster hits, with only the Melanie C duet, "When You're Gone", making any major impact for him on the charts during the last half of the decade.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">It was really Mariah Carey's decade. The soulful diva sold more albums than other other artist in Australia during the 90's, and her singles performance was one to rival Michael Jackson's 80's decade. With 11 Top Ten singles during the decade, Mariah had one of the strongest debuts ever seen. But her split in 1997 with then husband, Tommy Mottola, also seemed to cause a derailment in her musical career. Two albums closed the 90's for Mariah with only one Top Ten a piece, and both albums selling only a pinch of the sales she enjoyed with her earlier albums, "Music Box" and "Daydream". A public breakdown would follow into the 2000's, but unfortunately she didn't quite have enough wind to hold down Artist of the Decade.</span></span></span></span></div>

Elton takes his place due to the fact that his Princess Diana tribute single sold close to a million copies. So Elton wasn't so much of a presence for the 90's, just the holder of a very amazing (world) record.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Madonna started out the decade as the biggest artist of 1990, and despite a four year break between studio albums mid-decade, produced a Top Ten hit in every year. She was down in the #1 stakes since the 80's, only one with "Vogue", but she redeemed herself with a record 14 Top Tens, and 27 Top 50's - another record! When Mariah, Celine and Bryan all slowed down, Madonna would shine, with a comeback of her own, 1998's critically acclaimed "Ray Of Light".</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></span></span></div>

The critics were generally happy, and the public eventually warmed up. Both 1990's </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Dick Tracy</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> inspired "I'm Breathless" and 1992's "Erotica", were major departures from her 80's pristine pop output. But they still produced Top Ten hits. Even the toned down vibe of 1994's "Bedtime Stories", Madonna's first real (relative) flop, contained two Australian Top Ten's and a major US #1 in "Take A Bow", somewhat of a comeback for her in her native country.</span></span></span></span></div>

It was a major coup for the pop star who had craved respect in the film world as a serious actress. She won the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Musical, but was snubbed for an Oscar nod. She </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">did,</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> however, perform "You Must Love Me" during the ceremony, which went on to win Best Original Song for </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Evita</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">.</span></span></span></span></div>

Produced by 80's collaborator Patrick Leonard, and relative new comer, William Orbit, it was not only a chart success, but the first Madonna album to be recognized by the Grammy's, winning three awards, and nominated for Album Of The Year. Her circle of domination was complete - hit singles, critical acclaim, and Grammy's!</span></span></span></span></div>

However, the 2000's would also be a time when Madonna would have to finally hand the gauntlet over to another up and comer...whoever that may be.</span></span></span></span></div>

U2, Madonna and Kylie all returned with huge comebacks (the girls enjoying two #1's each during the year), while future big players P!nk, Eminem and Justin Timberlake started their journey to world domination. But it was a trio of 19 year olds from Texas who claimed blasted the new decade. Destiny's Child, boasting the talents of Beyonce Knowles and Kelly Rowland, actually started the year out as a four-piece group, but a strange and controversial move streamlined them to just three. LeToya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson, together with Beyonce and Kelly, released 1999's "The Writing On The Wall", the groups' second album. However, the two "other" girls attempted to split from their manager over a profit dispute, never intending to leave the group. With the release of 2000's "Say My Name", LeToya and LaTavia found they were absent from the video, and two new girls had already taken their place. What a way to break it to them! Legal action was taken, but all parties reached a settlement including an agreement prohibiting the girls to attack each other publicly. Destiny's Child, now with Michelle Williams and Farrah Franklin on board, soon found themselves at #1 in Australia with "Say My Name", the 5th biggest seller of the year. Following up with the #2 hit, "Jumpin' Jumpin'" (#17 year end), it became too much for Franklin, who then left the group after only five months. Streamlined to a three-piece, Destiny's Child carried on releasing the female anthem, "Independent Woman" (#3), from the </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Charlie's Angels</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> soundtrack. The girls were back in 2001, with the release of "Survivor", influenced by a taunt that being in Destiny's Child was like being in a reality contest facing eviction. But for five years, the girls stuck together figuring prominently in the charts before splitting as Beyonce and Kelly's solo careers took off.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

Three of the Top Ten biggest singles of the year were from Inner Circle, UB40 and Snow (another of the years Top Ten biggest, Ace Of Base's "All That She Wants" was dangerously close to the genre). Further down the list of biggest sellers, a new artist, Shaggy, popped his head in at #34. Just five years prior, Orville Burrell, as he was originally known, was a member of the U.S. Marine Corps, where his talent was recognized. That talent was too big to deny, so Shaggy left the Marines, soon releasing his debut album, "Pure Pleasure". It seemed Shaggy was destined to chart with every second album, as it was his third that provided him with his first Australian #1 single, "Boombastic". Continuing that trend, his 1997 album, "Midnite Lover", totally bombed and a four year hiatus from recording soon followed. In 2001, Shaggy returned with one of the biggest comebacks in music history. The new album, "Hot Shot" contained not one, but two triple Platinum singles, "It Wasn't Me" and "Angel". The singles were #2 and #4 respectively on the year end charts, one that would see nearly twenty singles reach at least double Platinum status. Those two singles alone sold more than most artists do in their entire career! Shaggy returned to the Top Ten later that year with "Luv Me, Luv Me" (#10), and the following year with "Hey Sexy Lady" (#4), from the follow up album, "Lucky Day". However, the new single and album failed to fly anywhere near the heights of their predecessors, and Shaggy was soon back to familiar obscurity, as a further two albums would provide no hits for the star. Are they the bombs Shaggy needs to have before another comeback?</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

The entire Top Ten biggest artists of the year had never been heard of three years prior. And never before had solo artists been so dominant. One hit wonders Las Ketchup, were the only group to make it into the final ten, and only Tenacious D and No Doubt would be included in the Top 20. Colombian star Shakira stole the show from big names Eminem and Nelly, and was the shining light of the Latino movement that had started with Ricky Martin and Jennifer Lopez during the late 90's. Shakira's venture into music started much earlier than most think. Two albums in 1990 and 1991, both in her native tongue, were commercial flops which prompted Shakira to set out and produced her own brand of music. The resulting albums, 1995's "</span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Pies Descalzos"</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> and 1998's "</span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Donde Estan los Ladrones</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">" were huge successes in Latin America, giving her the platform she needed to break into the English-speaking world. With strong promotion, Shakira returned with her first English album, "Laundry Service". Headed by the #1 hit, "Whenever, Wherever", the second biggest single of the year, Shakira was soon a household name. Repeating a #1 peak with the following single, "Underneath Your Clothes", but just missing with the third release, "Objection (Tango)" (#2), Shakira would finish the year with the second biggest selling album, behind Eminem on both charts. To date, "Laundry Service" has sold more than 20 million copies making it the biggest selling album by a Latin American artist ever.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

It was twelve years since an Australian act figured so prominently in the charts when Ratcat took out 1991's </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Artist Of The Year</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> Delta also had to beat out Eminem, one of the major stars of the time who had to spend a second year in a row as runner-up. Delta shattered the previous record set by Kylie Minogue, with the most #1's from a debut album, when all five releases hit the top spot. Adding to that, that album, "Innocent Eyes" broke the previous record set by John Farnham's "Whispering Jack" as the longest running album at #1 by an Australian artist, with an amazing 29 weeks. Contrary to popular belief, Delta did not have her first five singles hit #1. In late 2001, Delta debuted and charted with "I Don't Care", peaking at #64 and quickly exiting the charts. Where most soap stars leave their respective shows to pursue a musical career, Delta instead </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><i>joined</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> the cast of </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Neighbours</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> to gain a higher profile for her music. As Nina Tucker, Delta's role was semi-autobiographical, playing a shy schoolgirl with dreams of breaking into music and starting a successful career. In late 2002, Delta released "Born To Try", which had been featured in </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><i>Neighbours</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> by her character. It rocketed to #1, and was accredited triple Platinum status during 2003. What followed was a perfect run of #1's, "Lost Without You", "Innocent Eyes", "Not Me, Not I" and "Predictible". With an eventual accreditation of 14xPlatinum, "Innocent Eyes" (the album) became one of the biggest sellers of all time. There was no doubt that Delta's follow-up album would be a hit, and the proof came in 2004 when both the lead single, "Out Of The Blue" and her duet with Brian McFadden, "Almost Here", hit #1. With six #1's in a row, its clear to see that Delta is a very special artist with a huge future ahead of her.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

Although Series One winner, Guy Sebastian enjoyed major chart success with three #1 hits in a row, it was Shannon Noll who would eventually achieved the most success from his appearance on the show. Following in the footsteps of Guy, Shannon Noll's debut single, "What About Me" was the biggest selling single of the year, accredited 4xPlatinum. The Moving Pictures original in 1982 came in #2 for the year end list, just missing out to become the only song to top a year end chart twice. For his second single, "Drive" (#4), co-written by Bryan Adams, Shannon cemented his "Aussie" image, no doubt a major factor in his success with the Australian buying public.

However, it seemed the show wasn't working according to plan. After Shannon Noll's massive year of 2004, Anthony Callea, another runner-up, enjoyed two #1 singles during 2005, his debut, "The Prayer", the biggest seller of the year, and "Rain". </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Second</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> was the new </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">First</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">. Throughout the 2004 series, Anthony didn't appear in the bottom three ever, continuing to gain stronger support with finer performances. Not bad for a contestant who was not even publicly voted into the Top 12, instead given a wildcard by the judges. Not to take anything away from Anthony, 2005 was a fairly slow year for many artists. Most enjoying huge success with one single, followed up with only moderate success from others. And that pesky "novelty" song that almost ruined the 90's popped its head in again. The animated Crazy Frog and Schnappi both had strong hits, while Akon's "Lonely" and The Black Eyed Peas "My Humps" were very close to be branded "novelty". Another cartoon band, Gorillaz, had a huge year, but with just a little more critical acclaim. But back to Anthony. After "The Prayer" became the biggest selling single of all time, Anthony continued to live his dream, supporting Diana Ross, Celine Dion and Whitney Houston on the Australian legs of their tours, appearing as the "professional" singer on the Seven Network's "It Takes Two" TV series, and winning the coveted role as Boq in the smash hit broadway musical, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><i>Wicked</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">. All this after performing Human Nature's "Wishes" in a little room in Melbourne, early 2004.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

Not that music wasn't selling. Downloading music (legally) meant that CD's didn't take up room, it was cheaper, and easier to purchase, but those downloads weren't included in the main chart until late in the year. Because of this, for the first time since 1989, the #1 biggest selling single of the year, Sandi Thom's "I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker...", was accredited only single Platinum. So the 2006 artist award was easily up for grabs by any number of hit makers. Nine women stood out for the year, and it was close! Nelly Furtado, P!nk and Rihanna all had dynamite years, but the other six had and even better one. The Pussycat Dolls bought a new lease of life to the lulling girl group phenomenon, with their first five releases hitting the Top Ten. Originally formed as a burlesque dance ensemble as far back as 1995, founder and choreographer Robin Antin negotiated a record deal that would bring together a core group of six performers. In 2005, they unleashed "Don't Cha", a #1 hit giving them the second biggest seller for that year, behind Anthony Callea's mammoth "The Prayer". From the triple Platinum debut album, "PCD", the girls saw "Stickwitu" (#2), "Beep" (#3), "Buttons" (#2) and "I Don't Need A Man" (#6) repeating similar success by making the Top Ten during 2006. The Pussycat Doll "franchise" then expanded into television with </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">The Search For The Next Doll</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> premiering in March 2007, and eventual winner, Asia Nitollano, joining the girls for a couple of on-stage performances. Back for another successful run in 2008 with their "Doll Domination" album, The Pussycat Dolls have released 11 singles in total in Australia with all but two hitting the Top Ten. The fact that the two "flops" reached #16 and #17 shows the girls' strength with Australian audiences, and a fanbase sure to support them into 2010 when they release their third album.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

The Black Eyed Peas are also one of those huge acts of the 2000's, but with the band taking a short break, female vocalist, Fergie, filled in her time releasing a debut album, "The Dutchess". Boasting an almost perfect and unequalled debut of hits, the #1 album saw five Top Four hits in a row. The lead single, "London Bridge", released late the previous year, made a strong impression, peaking at #3, while the follow-up, "Fergalicious", slipped slightly, making it to #4. Early 2007 saw the release of "Glamourous" which gained more momentum for Fergie, peaking at #2 making way for the biggest hit of the year. "Big Girls Don't Cry" debuted at #1 on the ARIA charts, holding for an incredible nine weeks, accredited double Platinum, and crowned the highest selling single of 2007. Finishing the year as strongly as she started, a fifth single, "Clumsy" (#3), helped the album achieve triple Platinum sales and a #5 berth on the end of year albums list. Fergie, or Stacy Ferguson as she was first known, also managed to squeeze in a couple of minor films roles, appearing in </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><i>Poseidon</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> and </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><i>Planet Terror</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">, quite a departure from her guest role on </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><i>Married...With Children</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> thirteen years earlier. After a couple of moderate hits from the album during 2008, Fergie returned to The Black Eyed Peas to begin work on their 2009 release, "The E.N.D.", and to prepare for what was to become a huge year, all over again.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

Very much a younger field, downloading alienated the older generation who seemed to give up buying "singles" as CD's were phased out. Younger stars shined, easier to identify with by an equally youthful buying audience. Chris Brown, The Veronicas, Gabriella Cilmi, Jordin Sparks, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry...the list goes on...were either teenagers, or barely out of their teens, and they were big business. Turning 20 during 2008, Rihanna was everywhere, literally. With her third album, "Good Girl Gone Bad", Rihanna had already gained major success the previous year with "Umbrella", "Shut Up And Drive" and "Hate That I Love Her", making her the fifth biggest artist. All three singles spilled over into the new year, adding to four further releases. "Don't Stop The Music" was an early #1, the second from the album, achieving it on downloads alone - the first time ever! Her follow-ups "Take A Bow" (#3), "Distrubia" (#6) and "Rehab" (#26) kept Rihanna in a spotlight that hadn't been switch off for some three years since her debut. If you thought seven appearances in the charts was enough for a year, think again. Two further contributions, a duet with Maroon 5, "If I Never See Your Face Again" (#11) and a featured performance on T.I.'s hit "Live Your Life" (#3), almost caused Rihanna overkill. But hey, who are we to argue with success. Which brings me to download problem #2. The Singles and Albums charts had very much separated by this time. With seven major hit singles, the "Good Girl Gone Bad" album should have really sold more, much more. At the end of its run, however, the album could only boast a triple Platinum accreditation and the 9th biggest seller of the year. Still healthy, but a long way from those 10x plus Platinum albums that shaped the 90's.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

There are various themes and concepts represented by the album, most significantly, will.i.am's notion that with a new decade around the corner, the "album" will no longer be in existence. In the current day of downloads, The Black Eyed Peas came up with a group of songs that were relevant to our current musical lifestyle. Catchy, dancy, slick and trendy, but most importantly, accessible with the click of a computer mouse. And click away we did. Two #1's, "Boom Boom Pow" and "I Gotta Feeling", both accredited 4xPlatinum, put "The Peas" neck and neck with Lady GaGa and Beyonce, also celebrating bumper years (the girls finally ending their battle by appearing on each others singles for "Video Phone" and "Telephone"). But a third #1, the double Platinum "Meet Me Halfway" put them over the top and unbeatable. In the year end charts, the three singles came in #1, #4 and #8 respectively, the first time an artist has had three EOY Top Ten hits on the same chart since Abba in 1976. That notion that the album was losing its' appeal didn't stop "The E.N.D." from being the third biggest selling album of the year with a 4xPlatinum accreditation. 2009 was also a splendid year for Michael Jackson, whose passing prompted a barrage of 30 solo and 5 Jacksons tracks to re-enter the Top 100. The Black Eyed Peas featured heavily on the 20th Anniversary Edition of Michael's "Thriller" album just a year before. Elton John's 1997 hit with his Princess Diana tribute aside, The Black Eyed Peas 2009 is the most successful singles haul in a single year since 1980, and, no doubt, has set them up as one of the all time greatest artists ever!</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

All three were phenomenal forces in the Australian singles charts during the 2000's, with only one hit single separating each act. But what a spectacular finish for will.i.am, apl.de.ap, Taboo and Fergie, who, by the end of the decade, truly made The Black Eyed Peas the ultimate party band...ever!</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

Nothing much eventuated for them there, but an appearance of one of the tracks on the </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Bulworth</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> soundtrack, the 1998 acclaimed film featuring Warren Beatty, certainly got the wheels rolling. It was in 2001 that BEP cracked the Australian Singles Charts, with "Request + Line", featuring Macy Gray (who had also appeared on their first album) reaching #21. Another minor hit, "Weekends", soon sent the group packing, seemingly. However, The Black Eyed Peas immediately started work on their follow-up, which would take another two years to manifest.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

The lead single from the "Elephunk" album had the advantage of featuring the one and only, Justin Timberlake (himself a huge influence on music during the 2000's), sending the single straight to #1. It was the beginning of an unbroken string of 12 Top Ten hits (barring the digital only release of "Imma Be"), seven of them #1's!!!</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

At the time Fergie really wasn't a permanent pea, but her appeal was obvious, and it wasn't long before she was inducted as a member. Through the remaining releases from "Elephunk", and the following hits from their fourth album, "Monkey Business", Fergie was featuring more and more, becoming a key element to their success. That status was cemented in late 2006 when her debut solo album, "The Dutchess", was released. With five Top 5 hits, and the biggest selling single of 2007, it can be said that will.i.am chose well.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

But even though the guys were tied up touring, keeping them out of the charts for a couple of years as a group, the BEP's touch was ever present through will.i.am's production contributions to many of the biggest artists. Justin Timberlake, The Pussycat Dolls, Mariah Carey, John Legend, Estelle, Usher, and even U2, benefited from will.i.am's guiding hand. Even the 2008 re-release of the biggest selling album of all time, gave the Black Eyed Peas a chance to stay in the spotlight without a release of their own. Fergie featured on an updated "Beat It", while will.i.am gave new vocals to "The Girl Is Mine" and "P.Y.T.".</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

The "energy never dies", and it seems the band never will either, with one of the most successful calendar years in the history of music. As the biggest artists of 2009, I don't need to go through their amazing success again, but even into 2010, it looks as if the band will do what Madonna did for the last two decades - stay on top. But, of course, it's early days yet.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

Perhaps their global record sales ring true, and are a wake up call to the way the industry is shaping. With an estimated 28 million records sold, the group has actually sold more singles than albums. The Black Eyed Peas have sold over 31 million singles worldwide...</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

So, if a single is awarded, say, 4xPlatinum, it means that a minimum of 280,000 units have been shipped.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">Accreditations are given out as a recognition of an artists success, and can be used as a great promotional tool for touring artists. Accreditations also benefit customers not in "the business" to track the sales of a particular single without knowing the actual sales amounts.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">However, as record companies control accreditations, some awards leave a lot to be desired. Many singles seem to over-accredited, as they fall short on End Of Year charts. In the days of CD singles, sometimes an over supply of units with a shortfall in sales meant that a 2xPlatinum single would be nestled in within the Platinum singles on the End Of Year charts. In today's downloading market, there are many avenues to purchase mp3's that ARIA don't track, but record companies count themselves. Conversely, record companies may not update a singles' accreditation, which is why sometimes we find Gold records higher up on the End Of Year charts, sometimes playing with the 2xPlatinum awarded songs. These, however, are not common problems and the majority of awards seem correct when compared to other years.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">Below is a concise list of as many accredited singles as can be tracked since 1989.

style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">"Mr. Watson, come here, I want to see you".</span></span></div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">It was the 10th of March, 1876, when those first words were successfully spoken and transmitted via telephone. Alexander Bell called his assistant, Thomas Watson, with the very first phone call ever, with Thomas confirming he heard every word distinctly. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Well, that's the story we all know, but there's always another claim to fame for these things, and elsewhere in America, Elisha Gray was working on the same idea, keeping it secret as a result of opposition by some for his working on the invention. In the end, there was a race to the patent office and Alexander Bell won, credited as the official inventor of a device that would arguably become one of the ten most important inventions ever.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Whoever truly invented it, I'll leave that up to the debaters, but one thing is for sure, we could never live without it. Our lives revolve around it through voice communication, short message service, internet access, or even if you want to turn your air conditioner on at home! Now that's what I call essential.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">In relation to the music charts, the use of the telephone has really come full circle. Once an apparatus mentioned in song, now the telephone has a major part in deciding the charts with mobile phone ringtones now counted towards the weekly Singles chart. Furthermore, it seems many songs are produced for that market in particular, as the charts of late have featured catchy dance tunes worthy of a ringtone, rather than "real" songs with true heart and emotion, but that debate is perhaps for another time and place.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">The music history is full of songs about the telephone, whether it be about calling someone, actual telephone numbers, acquiring (or losing) someone's number, or the apparatus itself, every aspect has been covered in some way. For the list below I've sifted through the Australian Top 100 charts since 1955 to see what I could come up with, and I'm sure there's still some hidden in there that I've missed.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">My rules? Well, there's obvious songs that are titled accordingly, and others that allude to the phone through its' use, for example, "calling" someone. Others state a phone number, or the act of getting someone's number. And then there's the songs that have no mention of a phone in the title, but can be considered phone songs for sure.

Those in need of a "call" on a telephone are well represented in song with the first of ten songs demanding you call them. Why? Well, in Spagna's case, she's just lonely and "losin' slumber", so d-d-d-do it please! The Italian singer continues our countdown with style, but a list based on the UK charts would have placed her much higher with "Call Me" peaking at #2, the highest the single reached anywhere in the world, kept from the top by Michael Jackson's "I Just Can't Stop Loving You". This track was taken from Spagna's first album and did nothing in the way of making her a household name in Australia, but 25 years and 16 albums later, she has clocked up over 10 million sales of her singles and albums worldwide.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#0000FF" style="background-color:#FF0000" width="100%" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b><br />28th September, 1987</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b><br />#98</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> 98, 98 (2 weeks)</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b><br />468</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTm1b4l-S4p-NaJTc16MOqXrXlkVErUcsYx_-dnoDYBCgHXmI9UQNt92A3NKGchAUx07ZYjfw05k0ZeM9JngsnTBY3K0o7-InIYgu_0eiTTDRun_p3FZLMTmb0aAnrI3fqNDyly7PcEKZB/s320/THESTYLECOUNCILWYCM.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568714271017006610" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">73.</span> (WHEN YOU) CALL ME</b> The Style Council</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "Home And Abroad".</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">Polydor 883 478-7</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Paul Weller and Mick Talbot had driven The Style Council to much success in the UK with eight Top Ten singles from three successful albums, including a #1, <i>Our Favourite Shop</i>. Australia put that album in our own Top 5 after years of moderate hits, and even honoured them with a Top Ten hit. But just as things were getting better for the band, Paul's own interests in political campaigning against then Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, starting taking precedence over The Style Council. Red Wedge was formed by Paul, Billy Bragg and Jimmy Somerville to engage young voters on the policies of the Labour Party with the hope that the Conservatives would be ousted from power.

They've managed to crack the Australian Top 50 a couple of times with "I Know Why" (#47, 1993) and "The Last Love Song" (#50, 1999). Despite this slight success, The Robertson Brothers are probably one of the most well-known trios in this country, but not by any chart measure. In 2000, the guys were selected to record an updated version of the <i>Home And Away</i> theme song, updating themselves again in 2004 where it lasted until 2006. "Call Me Back" is stacked with phone references predominantly about leaving a heap of messages met with no reply.

Forming in 1970, the band was originally called Chocolate Hair but changed their name in honour of the city they received their first recording contract in, Boulder, Colorado. Sugarloaf is the name of a mountain just outside the city.

On the 10th of November, 1951, the mayor of Englewood, New Jersey, called the mayor of Alameda, California, in what would be the first direct-dialed telephone call. By 1960, the entire North American system was in place, and eventually the whole world was set up. Ludacris showed us just how vast the telephone system has become, rapping the area codes of all the "hoes" he has been with in different parts of America. In fact, Ludacris mentions no less than 43 area codes which means he has been a very busy boy!</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify; "><div style="text-align: justify; "></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#0000FF" width="100%" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" style="background-color: rgb(255, 0, 0); "><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center; "><b>Entry</b><br />19th November, 2001</td><td style="text-align: center; "><b>HP</b><br />#94</td><td style="text-align: center; "><b>Chart Run:</b> 97, 99, 94 (3 weeks)</td><td style="text-align: center; "><b>Points</b><br />720</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><br /></div></span></span></div></span></div></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO0FOj9bUqbS_Cf5DX9i9iyLx5BIeAbWtXb_IfyrM4vKFlDQNaigpTb063jXtDNWLrAzcQHzvf478FU0JWCAgOaLqXqpgIhymk5pKnWYrKgDd51pYMSPL_EE6zpmcuzn_yfydsWwikfHOR/s320/JIMMYBARNES.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571221830646167394" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">66.</span> PROMISE ME YOU'LL CALL </b>Jimmy Barnes</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "Bodyswerve".</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">Mushroom K 9538</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">As high profile a singer as Jimmy Barnes was with Cold Chisel, his solo career was a surprisingly slow burn.

This release by Andrea True, and the cover by Debbie Newsome which kicked off our countdown, were minor hits in Australia, and would almost certainly be forgotten about by now, so there's no spoiler here. However, if you're following this countdown down daily, there'll be spoiler alerts abound. Andrea True's music career started in Jamaica where the porn star was shooting real estate commercials in the country. It was during a time when political mayhem took over the island allowing no one to leave with any money. Andrea True put the cash to good use by asking a record producer friend of hers to record a single, totally funded with her doe. The result was "More, More, More", an international disco hit.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#0000FF" style="background-color:#FF0000" width="100%" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b><br />4th December, 1978</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b><br />#78</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> 81, 90, 80, 78, 78 (5 weeks)</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b><br />1,755</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGieEyxSJZKcQ0Rw7KG-5OlDFEo2yNl0Cs3gesUE10VFy0TZTwqh44GRYZHTtdMlbrflgz9E1GfNFJgP8eBNiPtjU2unsO2nfHiD3L_lSOQBJIWyCxGBEMU7ti4LLdSaMuECVEwhYHsasC/s320/USHERUDHTC.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574346224529065410" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">60.</span> U DON'T HAVE TO CALL</b> Usher</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "8701".</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">LaFace/Arista 74321958442</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Four of the five "U" tracks from Usher's </span></span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">8701</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> album got a single release, this being the last of the quartet after three "U" Australian Top Tens</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">.

It's hard to box Cake's musical style. Usually considered "alternative", the band mixes rap, jazz, funk, ska, pop and country into their music, with this song another Cake release that blurs the lines of all those genres. The song begins with the famous disconnected tone and features a video set in a western-style saloon. Singer, John McCrea, does his best Edward Norton impersonation playing a trucker who travels the country trying to get in touch with his loved one via pay phone. Cake had a chance for a double entry in this list releasing "No Phone" in 2004. It hit #13 on the US Alternative chart, but made no impact here.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#0000FF" style="background-color:#FF0000" width="100%" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b><br />12th October, 1998</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b><br />#75</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> 80, 82, 78, 92, 75, 78, 76, 90 (8 weeks)</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b><br />2,471</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjleQE4Buf4k5FosSLzBIu1YlLNX3OH5-e3tATvOsw_mYWfSZO2x2vwwRma4Z_szXRv8H2CW04JrkOvdd-X0ZJnJYeU77_amSorMyO06b5WX0C6MrtAEj38ANe4AeKF25W8ya-Wniy18rVd/s320/JOHNNYMATHISCM.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576046484670166690" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">56.</span> CALL ME</b> Johnny Mathis</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "More Johnny's Greatest Hits".</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">Coronet KS 282</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">The meaning of the word "call" was critical for this list of telephone songs, as many use the word in the title as a reference to calling someone from across the room, or the street, or just calling out in general. My rule of thumb was a "calling" song had to have a direct reference to the telephone. Johnny Mathis' "Call Me" had me tossing and turning in my sleep. There's no direct telephone reference here, but the line "just call and say you need me, and darling, I'll fly to you" suggested the call was from afar rather than across the room, and that some sort of telephone device was in use. The line was too fine to draw, and so Johnny made the cut. 1959's </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">More Johnny's Greatest Hits</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> was a quick follow-up to the previous year's </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Johnny's Greatest Hits</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">, the first greatest hits album in music history.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#0000FF" style="background-color:#FF0000" width="100%" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b><br />14th February, 1959</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b><br />#66</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> no data available (8 weeks in Top 100)</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b><br />2,489</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUiJbrsqdrBUJyc14wOeeHNvKxTA8SJ4DmewiISBEShrCL3SEqlXd1EJ7Izmh_iuIuHZrnmJzJWWzCQP1r_xLykUlWSHblKjY_38psdrgMyGyqImrtnDsJQ41ZVSE3ii3l6PoRenOg5vLp/s320/HAWKSHAWHAWKINSL7.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576275667536596690" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">55.</span> LONESOME 7-7203</b> Hawkshaw Hawkins</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">W&G WG-S-1644</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">American Country singer, Hawkshaw Hawkins suffered a double tragedy around "Lonesome 7-7203", first in song, and then in his own life. This track centres around the heartbreak Hawkshaw gets when he receives countless calls on his phone for his ex on her old number. The memories he just can't bear, so he changes his number and tells just one person, his old flame, presumably the only one to hear this song with its title as the new number. A few more than that ex were listening in as "Lonesome 7-7203" hit #1 on the US Country charts, but unfortunately Hawkshaw wasn't around to enjoy the success. It would be exactly two months earlier when the famous plane crash that killed Patsy Cline also took the lives of two more Grand Ole Opry members, Hawkshaw and Cowboy Copas, as well as the pilot who was Patsy's manager and Copas' son-in-law.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#0000FF" style="background-color:#FF0000" width="100%" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b><br />10th August, 1963</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b><br />#61</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> no data available (10 weeks in Top 100)</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b><br />3,213</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_r9Qc51IutITNBysCvWFT8pwbobY4-2so4lnvVKdhyPssccPJoAEwdqTOxHrbYjWQ85pYqwsaWlSclhc_kZt1aItzFQTmqAoh2MAMm5m-1TWZhgow-hVq8U9M6mAHF-L_BY_zx4GEGW9C/s320/DJJAZZYJEFF%2526THEFRESHPRINCERMB.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576284760708697554" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">54.</span> RING MY BELL</b> DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "Homebase".</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">Jive 124142023-2</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">As the fourth "Ring My Bell" to enter the Australian charts, something told me to check this one out. Anita Ward's "Ring My Bell", later covered by Australian singer, Collette, suggested the bell was a doorbell, however with the subject already home, that bell could be a little naughtier than first thought. More straight forward is the 1991 release by Monie Love and Adeva. With fighting lyrics, the bell here is from a boxing ring, the film clip confirming that, as did a "vs." placed between their names.

The idea for a single emergency number in the US came in 1957 when the National Association of Fire Chiefs suggested it to report fire emergencies. A decade later, it was decided by the Federal Communications Commission that 9-1-1 would be used to report all emergencies in America. Public Enemy's first American Top 40 hit is the only mainstream hit to contain the famous three digit number, but those three digits didn't do them much justice twenty years later. The </span></span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Washington Post</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> ran a story on the group in 2009 discussing the groups' visit to a centre for homeless and displaced youth.

Featuring Tim Armstrong from Rancid, this track also features a re-recorded bassline from The Clash's "The Guns Of Brixton", a band that was an inspiration for Tim to form his first band with fellow Rancid member, Matt Freeman. For Cypress Hill, the band's singles success never really matched the success of their albums. Throughout their 20 year career, the group has never enjoyed a Top Ten hit in the major charts anywhere except New Zealand where "What's You Number?" became their fourth Top Ten. However, the UK charts still gave them impressive stats with Cypress Hill enjoying five Top 20 hits in the country.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#0000FF" style="background-color:#FF0000" width="100%" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b><br />29th March, 2004</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b><br />#56</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> 58, 56, 64, 69, 72, 69, 73, 80, 88, 94, 95 (11 weeks)</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b><br />3,744</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgybPNux3Ylm26lguYoUPgDhMQJa-qkO5WNqEv0sQrEgs8y9QKVSSiAxg649EI3SdypBpfToKbMLZisMkHg1obVxYzmsQwi320OTgLEr29257AbjGrnGpMAGtYfMcnT_IyUkmdO9NLqKiib/s320/CONWAYTWITTY%2526LORETTALYNNASAIHUTP.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576645510569923938" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">51.</span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">AS SOON AS I HANG UP THE PHONE</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn</span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "Country Partners".</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">MCA MCA 1397</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">The recording partnership of Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn extended what were already impressive Country music careers.

After eleven albums, a soundtrack album, and a #1 Greatest Hits package, it was time to rest the band which had diminished down to just a trio by the time </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Balance Of Power</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> was released. There was also the stark realisation that ELO's popularity had declined during the 80's, this album only managing a #49 placing compared to the three #1's they enjoyed at their peak. The upbeat composition of "Calling America" hid the dark lyric concerning dishonest love, the subject trying to call through but met with static at the other end. Electric Light Orchestra did have one last coda, 2001's "Zoom", an album that was more Jeff Lynne solo than an ELO album.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#0000FF" style="background-color:#FF0000" width="100%" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b><br />17th March, 1986</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b><br />#47</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> 88, 81, 55, 47, 49, 47, 48, 49, 55, 65, 72 (11 weeks)</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b><br />4,572</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></div></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOjJ03neHxtxYcl1TlMu5-L_Xd2erBBFThSo2Z62hS-zCjg86Uv5TWfTDwxsw0JfTNdhNIRFIYGhX2ENoV__hktxDkK83fQ6KDNGLPJTaN5a0qhfqqZu0ghk4XdvritNcjH5KRzg6crZh_/s320/CHEYNEIGYN.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5580796147636847202" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">47.</span> I'VE GOT YOUR NUMBER</b> Cheyne</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "Something Wicked This Way Comes".</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">MGM AR00600</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">After the instant success of Madison Avenue, "I've Got Your Number" was as good as it got for the groups' vocalist, Cheyne Coates. Cheyne and Madison Avenue DJ/producer, Andy Van starting working together in 1998, but Cheyne was actually part of the production side of things rather than out front. A rough demo of their breakthrough hit, "Don't Call Me Baby", sung by Cheyne as a guide for initial vocalist, Kellie Wolfgram, became the preferred version by Andy, and soon Cheyne had a new role. She helped steer Madison Avenue to four straight Top Ten hits in Australia, but a couple of years had passed by since that success, too long in this cut throat world of the single charts. Cheyne's single debut bombed as a result, and the album and follow-up single, "Taste You", failed to chart.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#0000FF" style="background-color:#FF0000" width="100%" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b><br />26th April, 2004</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b><br />#26</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run: </b>26, 28, 68, 63, 90,---, 97 (6 weeks)</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b><br />4,874</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhaaAhAbUG2kOi80NEXdQUQxRg7gZm0XmgPb93u5atFI1fzmgZQbVKri0-1FubCfXSOjeVE1gv8jYEpGvAtjOF9cqUcz9r1XUFYWPxABwltswsmhOT365MtvgJ8SBG1cs_KHWsDr8XhbGp/s320/JERRYLEELEWISCL.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5580800977923038178" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">46.</span> CHANTILLY LACE</b> Jerry Lee Lewis</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "The 'Killer' Rocks On".</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">Mercury 6052 141</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Without a hit for many years, keyboard tinkering wild boy, Jerry Lee Lewis, recorded this cover of the Big Bopper telephone hit, the reference we'll talk about later. After a nine year absence from the UK charts, "Chantilly Lace" reached #33 to become his final entry. The US saw many a minor hit come and go, but this track coupled with another cover, "Me And Bobby McGee", was his first <i>Billboard</i> Top 40 hit since 1961's "What'd I Say". Here in Australia, Jerry reached #11 with his first two hits, "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" and "Great Balls Of Fire", but another string of minor hits followed, this release giving him his first Top 50 hit since the 50's. The US Country charts became Jerry's saviour, "Chantilly Lace" his sixth and final #1 from 60 entries in that chart.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#0000FF" style="background-color:#FF0000" width="100%" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b><br />17th April, 1972</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b><br />#40</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run: </b>no data available (13 weeks in Top 100)</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b><br />5,117</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg414SlY_Ug3k0rcchiW8BVL8GcqmxApxaLbpmVTV9d1VoXWaoCP-upQ1NnzbsmbMi2g0r_urxcBNECZ4-yCsgFUzBou85ymS2TN76p0MZ16wG2aKkR39M8KyBQw3D3jbCwKBCUUVBfb40V/s320/ALICIAKEYSHCYDCM.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5580806615294828802" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">45. </span>HOW COME YOU DON'T CALL ME</b> Alicia Keys</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "Songs In A Minor".</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">J Records 74321951752</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Alicia Keys provides as with yet another cover, but you won't find any spoiler here.

Beyoncé's "Video Phone" and Lady Gaga's "Telephone" debuted onto the Australian charts during the same week, as did the remix version of "Video Phone". "Telephone" and the "Video Phone" remix were unique in that they featured both artists in supporting roles that took on the persona of the main artist. Beyoncé upped the anti on attitude by appearing in the Tarantino inspired "Telephone" film clip, while she took her own inspiration from the director at the beginning of "Video Phone", paying homage to his film, <i>Reservoir Dogs</i>.

Paul Anka is one of the originals, just sixteen years of age when he debuted with "Diana", a #1 hit in Australia. Before he was 20, Paul boasted 20 chart entries including a further two Top Ten hits, "(All Of A Sudden) My Heart Sings" (1959, #8) and "Lonely Boy" (1959, #3). "Kissin' On The Phone" was his first Australian chart entry as a 20 year old but it's performance was hindered by the emerging British Invasion, conditioning the rest of his 60's career to moderate hits. By the mid-60's Paul entered the Las Vegas circuit, an adult contemporary performer at the age of 25! Paul got a chance to make up some lost ground with a comeback in the 70's. 1974's "(You're) Having My Baby" just missed out on giving Paul his second #1, stalling at #2, but it was still more than most could achieve during a highly evolving decade.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#0000FF" style="background-color:#FF0000" width="100%" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b><br />16th September, 1961</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b><br />#27</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run: </b>no data available (11 weeks in Top 100)</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b><br />6,309</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEwyyKsC2kCE6LuyyQpFud_Qr-X6hi1CgJHbYOL23xh6tEpNtUw_Q2Nn_3WVKDJsXoauZpgBDyvsHM6pSBXv7TZ84AjLGUWoNnu9UGi4EUvTLEnNvbI-KAd24WVIO2IFODbdbRQIabL9vQ/s320/MI-SEXDTL.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5582211628865794162" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">42.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> DOWN THE LINE </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">(MAKING LOVE ON THE TELEPHONE)</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> Mi-Sex</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "Where Do They Go?".</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">CBS BA 223001</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Mi-Sex had it all during 1979 and 1980, but a failed third album looked to be the end of the bands' success. <i>Shanghaied</i> missed the Top 20 success their first two albums enjoyed, and the bands' first line-up change came shortly after its release when their original drummer was replaced.

Even after five charting singles from the album, the last, "Blue Day" offering a glimmer of hope when it reached #24, <i>Where Do They Go?</i> made it to a dismal #80 and Mi-Sex disbanded less than a year later.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#0000FF" style="background-color:#FF0000" width="100%" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b><br />6th December, 1982</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b><br />#37</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> 75, 61, 57, 47, 47, 47, 39, 37, 43, 41, 60, 55, 73, 86 (14 weeks)</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b><br />6,694</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidqIHlOu_T-9YAsndWyWOUjFgQdlAI7HuJZa7c_xMqGQK6Ap7XUTzOCm7LdXTfB9ILXvkVCcJnFIaU4eqc2Z3dQMCqnogvLoRgz8m0tn1CIfaicT3mlSEZsL80ann-hGTACpuPFkY0pl9V/s320/DESTINY%2527SCHILDBAB.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5582211745665923650" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">41.</span> BUG-A-BOO</b> Destiny's Child</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "The Writing's On The Wall".</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">Columbia/Sony 668299.2</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">"Bug-a-boo" is a colloquial term for someone who is a bother through excessive attachment or prying behaviour. This bug-a-boo preyed on Destiny's Child over the phone, allowing for Beyonce Knowlés' second entry in this list (with at least one more to come). Released in the US as the second single from <i>The Writing's On The Wall</i>, it would be the last single to feature the original Destiny's Child "in tact" before LeToya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson where controversially booted out. In Australia, that controversy had already passed with "Say My Name", "Bug-A-Boo" making a late appearance in our charts riding on their #1 success. After nearly a decade in the charts, "Bug-A-Boo" remains the lowest charting single of Destiny's Child's career in both the US and Australia.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#0000FF" style="background-color:#FF0000" width="100%" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b><br />25th September, 2000</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b><br />#26</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> 26, 33, 38, 43, 49, 56, 58, 70, 80, 99 (10 weeks)</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b><br />6,809</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdAsQhJ4VYtATdAXLymX9fqCaFiPSIYcC3zad4OoCyIxN8JwZX949fZSsTo-Co4bTW_wFHx8SvzJ30P6hMcd27IDT8EpHkqrcDBz0fwksRedEE2U5E4nddbsW0giyRXpq0slACoxpfv3Gd/s320/NODOUBTS.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583766869476816386" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">40.</span> SPIDERWEBS</b> No Doubt</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "Tragic Kingdom".</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">Trauma/Interscope IND 95510</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">The spiderwebs have caught Gwen Stefani, but it's not a spider spinning the trap. No Doubt followed up their Top Ten breakthrough of "Just A Girl" with this song about a girls' frustration after receiving too many calls from a guy. It's a dilemma that causes her to screen her calls. The songs' chorus, "Sorry I'm not home right now, I'm walking into spiderwebs, so leave a message, and I'll call you back", became a popular song on answering machines all over the world. The original video clip for "Spiderwebs" had the band performing around exploding telephones, but MTV thought the scenes inappropriate for its young audience, replacing the scenes with Gwen tangled in telephone cords and covered in spiderwebs generated from string sprayed from aerosol cans.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#0000FF" style="background-color:#FF0000" width="100%" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b><br />22nd September, 1996</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b><br />#46</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> 71, 64, 49, 50, 50, 46, 59, 54, 54, 67, 76, 78, 83, 76, 76, 76, 82, 72 (18 weeks)</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b><br />6,897</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr3v8OFHFKMq7HIUYHq2X1lHGSbMpBBI4ATf6eyKxh9-GC68LJmZxDi6Bcy4vX9GTsuEV_Tn4zq0xtKBXMVcz6dRXUQUFXZz6IohutdZy-VRSCveBF4MoiW7VfHhRPy_p9OAD5NkQmgIqo/s320/BLONDIEHOTT.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583766542090932370" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">39.</span> HANGING ON THE TELEPHONE</b> Blondie</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "Parallel Lines".</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">Chrysalis K 7560</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Blondie had a knack of covering songs to make them their own. "The Tide Is High", "Denis" and "I'm Gonna Love You Too" all featured the Blondie touch that made you forget the songs had been done before. "Hanging On The Telephone" originally featured on an EP by short-lived US pop trio, The Nerves. Written by the bands' guitarist, Jack Lee, a phone call from Debbie Harry turned his life around in the face of financial ruin. A request to record the song ensured Jack was able to make ends meet, and then some, when the track hit the UK Top 5 in 1978. Since then, "Hanging On The Telephone" has been covered by numerous artists, most prominently included on the bonus disc of Girls Aloud's </span></span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">The Sounds Of Girls Aloud</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">, and Def Leppard's cover album, </span></span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Yeah!</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#0000FF" style="background-color:#FF0000" width="100%" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b><br />16th July, 1979</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b><br />#39</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> 100, 67, 55, 51, 49, 49, 39, 39, 43, 42, 50, 50, 60, 72, 90 (15 weeks)</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b><br />7,200</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE-eoj2AmjVC-l5TjQ87NQ3vhKA51B10NQ-b22bBI5U8mArmICui3-9Brt15mJCBZeeu1AOynq61CMn2LLf0SDnMMfsA5xqWcXSBhleCFY5OE3JM5wGCzUMDgAg-w-c5tTLSTILLeci1xV/s320/MERIWILSONTM.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583766725606769250" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;"><b>38.</b></span><b> TELEPHONE MAN</b> Meri Wilson</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">Janus/GRT GRT 127</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">What is a chore to most of us is a pleasure to American singer, Meri Wilson. After securing her apartment on Monday, moving in on Tuesday, it was time to get the phone connected, which meant a visit from the "Telephone Man". The suggestive and quirky lyrics from Meri Wilson made this a favourite on the Dr. Demento radio show which specialized in comedy, novelty and unusual recordings. By the songs' end, it's still unclear whether Meri actually got her phone installed, the song ending with Meri getting "it" in the bedroom, the bathroom and in the hall. After the song sold one million copies in the US, Meri recorded other novelty hits such as "Dick The DJ" and "Peter The Meter Reader", but nothing came close to a chart entry anywhere. Just as the phone has progressed, so did Meri, recording the updated "Internet Man" a year before she tragically died in a car accident.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#0000FF" style="background-color:#FF0000" width="100%" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b><br />22nd August, 1977</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b><br />#42</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> 92, 80, 67, 67, 64, 53, 52, 52, 52, 50, 42, 53, 55, 52, 65, 72, 76<br />Re-entry (12th June, 1978): 96, 96 (19 weeks)</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b><br />7,434</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-5w3VvIwcc8IitFSCVRj1jUvpbsAqpoxxkw9oBFJnR8xzQ73Pfv9IHhr85x-JxaWcugjX0xDAHoAQTNlVSqhmZFs0Ahj3t7cUeyrqWTemK1lj306tj-bZTxVBJaYgucLJBVjZZoEGEmt1/s320/KINGHARVESTWL.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584568151920070034" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">37.</span> WICHITA LINEMAN</b> King Harvest</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">RCA Victor 101911</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Australia's King Harvest was certainly a harvest of musicians. Forming in 1970, their line-up boasted some eight members expanding with the addition of another nine members a year later. Who's knows what part of that collective were actually officially part of King Harvest by the time their first chart success came along. "Wichita Lineman" was originally a hit for Glen Campbell in 1968, so we'll be hearing more from the lonely worker ahead. It's unclear whether the Wichita lineman looks after telephone or electric power lines, but there are direct hints to the telephone with the phrase "singing in the wire", indicating the interference heard as a "whine" in the background during a phone conversation. King Harvest's version was their only major chart success, but a minor hit came a few months later with their cover of The Rolling Stones' "Jumping Jack Flash" (1971, #93).</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#0000FF" style="background-color:#FF0000" width="100%" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b><br />22nd February, 1971</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b><br />#35</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> (GoSet charts) 48, 40, 35, 45, 37, 38, 41, 45 (13 weeks in Top 100)</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b><br />7,592</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsMO8wpLH2fQ61nzlrykFGPTqNp3wR3fL-oG3-qCspuJTy9coxXda4gn77aP9C7SWAZ9wevsbg6Rf-8XSX3cGfvN8ZI_zT5if6g38iUEuXjEK-mJ7b3yjAdmymiN0BE5L99DZfi4ElfOFq/s320/PRIMITIVERADIOGODSSOABPBWMIMH.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584739338602933474" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">36.</span> STANDING OUTSIDE A BROKEN PHONE BOOTH WITH MONEY IN MY HAND</b> Primitive Radio Gods</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "Rocket".</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">Ergo/Columbia 663307 2</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">The Cable Guy</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> may not have advanced Jim Carrey's career too much, but American band, Primitive Radio Gods, scored themselves a US </span></span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Billboard</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> Modern Rock Track #1 with this release from their debut album, </span></span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Rocket</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">.

The groups' breakthrough single spent an amazing 25 weeks in the lower region of the charts, surpassing the success of many singles that have made the Top 30. The Manhattan Transfer formed in 1969, but two of the core members, Gene Pastilli and Tim Hauser had very different ideas about the groups direction. Tim's ideas of a jazz and swing style won over to a second incarnation with three new singers, Alan Paul, Janis Siegel and Laurel Massé. "Operator" was released in the US mid-1975, its success helped along by an hour-long television variety series on <i>CBS</i>.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#0000FF" style="background-color:#FF0000" width="100%" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b><br />15th December, 1975</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b><br />#60</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> 95, 75, 75,---,---, 88, 75, 71, 72, 74, 68, 68, 62, 60, 67, 76, 89, 90, 94<br />Re-entry (3rd October, 1977): 96, 80, 82, 67, 67, 75, 67, 78 (25 weeks)</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b><br />8,408</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAE0fj3pWL6Lw1O81opvsPdw_8zNj1EfxNC6HB-ffPSuOWdjJnvJU06T1JOz6KhiggkBqCLnF2TuhBWDvXWFdPKySp2JL762AB3FtpZbtS3qINd0k3QRkM871V20c0YMqUQfJ6unjedLYF/s320/BACKSTREETBOYSTC.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5585335349634303650" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">34.</span> THE CALL</b> Backstreet Boys</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "Black & Blue".</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">Jive 9251702</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">"The Call" is the one to your girlfriend to say you'll be home late when another girl is on stand-by.

Also known as "Last-call return", the *69 service in America and Canada allows a called party to find out the time and telephone number of the last received call, also giving the option to call that number back (check out American Beauty for the process in action). The service is available in many countries, and generally known by the number applied to those countries. In Australia, the number is *10#, however <i>Optus</i> has taken on the *69 number. The service in Australia allows only unanswered calls to be traced back in this way at a cost. *69 in song has also been recorded by R.E.M., Christine Lavin and Lifetime.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#0000FF" style="background-color:#FF0000" width="100%" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b><br />21st May, 2001</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b><br />#23</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> 23, 27, 33, 29, 41, 37, 38, 48, 48, 52, 56, 58, 67, 68, 85, 93, 94, 99 (18 weeks)</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b><br />13,370</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtSdSmWAjcK8RmJhIyh39SuveH3FDMmwuKjYLjcbwi6y3zZ48dCZGWsR2spYNyxVIERZO_QMpS1Gd6eKefsrcmeZbAT-nVcYTcSTiENYLoan4w5oWJ8x3CCR2J4N3YJu75waouB-EqpEKm/s320/STEELYDANRDLTN.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5586398515723443890" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">32.</span> RIKKI DON'T LOSE THAT NUMBER</b> Steely Dan</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "Pretzel Logic".</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">Probe PRO 10486</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Steely Dan's most successful single is also one that raises much mystery. Who is Rikki? Some thought it was about Eric Clapton, or maybe Ricki Lee Jones who was enjoying her own success at the time. More believable was its association with Rick Derringer, a member of 60's group, The McCoys, who bumped into Steely Dan's Donald Fagan during a recording session. Apparently a number was exchanged, which is thought to be at least the origin of the title. A 2006 interveiw </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">shed more light on the mysterious Rikki, turning out to be an old college buddy of Donald's, Rikki Ducornet, who was attending Bard College, pregnant and married.

What is surprise it is that these songs were actually the third and fourth releases from the album. After the first single, "Lifeline", "Communication" broke Spandau Ballet's run of minor hits that followed their Top 20 debut, "To Cut A Long Story Short". As the second "Communication" single to hit the charts, it again tackled the broad subject, with the a stack of phone references kicking in during the third verse. The video clip made up for the lack of phone references lyrically, as lead singer, Tony Hadley, plays a private eye who is constantly using the handset through the video's introduction.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#0000FF" style="background-color:#FF0000" width="100%" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b><br />23rd May, 1983</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b><br />#24</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> 96, 80, 51, 41, 45, 37, 26, 25, 30, 24, 33, 36, 41, 56, 53, 78 (16 weeks)</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b><br />14,841</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqRYSSExzrjwBBpGT3Mf3zoK3_WXxRkb5USvk4zIkhR1EnB47iaM0x6V9OxaCulteSH5s9Q-54igPAWlK7baPyFeV80BWhVLdpLhl2CKknP47eZoDsASaHsH9JYTnbtnWjOfDf4hBTbRsm/s320/THEBLACKEYEDPEASRL.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587126548426241634" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">30.</span> REQUEST + LINE</b> Black Eyed Peas featuring Macy Gray</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "Bridging The Gap".</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">Interscope 4974792</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">It's hard to think there was a time that The Black Eyed Peas were actually a group struggling for success.

The request line itself is a bit of a myth these days. Back in the day, it was not uncommon to have listeners call up for requests granted with your name read out, but with schedules so tight with carefully constructed playlists for advertising purposes, the request line is now for competitions and talk shows.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#0000FF" style="background-color:#FF0000" width="100%" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b><br />26th February, 2001</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b><br />#21</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> 48, 40, 32, 31, 23, 21, 22, 26, 28, 37, 48, 65, 75, 91 (14 weeks)</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b><br />17,141</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvEYpdbei27sDYo6eH_hBun6ckXPaO7EZHYqzB4YRht2H_FGd2AGhJKQSzZm0cByYS-iSoyqJcXR41ITbd3YT85SREHfT35A_8gsSoFlu74Y5uBMAsPsrwRs1dTCSe0mnoKUVw4dyQg0iz/s320/MARIAHCAREYGYN.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587126723890057570" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">29.</span> GET YOUR NUMBER</b> Mariah Carey</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "The Emancipation Of Mimi".</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">Universal Music Australia 9887194</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Mariah Carey's fairytale comeback that was </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">The Emancipation Of Mimi</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> kept rolling out the hits, "Get Your Number" the fifth of six Top 50 tracks from the album.

Australia was one of the only countries to have its own release for "Get Your Number", "Shake It Off" previously hitting our Top Ten at #6 in 2005. "Get Your Number" started off as an unfinished instrumental track by producer, Jermaine Dupri. Usually a rapper on tape, he had attempted to sing on the track which got the attention of Mariah.

All the user needs to do is pick up the handset. It has provided many a joke for crime spoof television shows and movies, but there are, in fact, notable uses in real life. During the Cold War, such a service was linked between the White House and the Kremlin in the wake of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Known as "the red telephone", it's probably the most famous use, but countries such as India, China and Pakistan have also had notable hotlines. As for The Sylvers, I'm sure their use of the hotline would have been frowned upon in the face of impending worldwide terror. They were simple "calling on the hot line, for your love".</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#0000FF" style="background-color:#FF0000" width="100%" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b><br />29th November, 1976</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b><br />#26</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> 93, 96, 96, 88, 73, 70, 67, 64, 70, 58, 48, 46, 36, 28, 28, 26, 29, 30, 33, 35,<br />38, 42, 51, 68, 80, 83, 93 (27 weeks)</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b><br />18,922</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggpSIUpS9U7L9Cfq0QJjyMZReI-LRf0TelNRLiDIW8uw1qFFl3_VScAMjwEzRACMbmx7tk3ynYLnNy1atu_kSD4cHJOOiimf2CMO7aNvnCqRFJn8ekU7g_pi1PlfNqjm4tCnT-K66nfnsd/s320/TOMMYTUTONE867-5309J.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587127038522542146" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">27.</span> 867-5309/JENNY</b> Tommy Tutone</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "Tommy Tutone 2".</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">CBS BA 222921</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Tommy Tutone is actually the name of a band rather than single performing, the name derived from its original Tommy & the Two-Tones. In 1982, the band caused a headache for anyone named Jenny, and anyone who actually had the phone number, 867-5309. The false number in television and movie land would usually begin with 555, a number that doesn't actually exist in the real world, but the band thought the use of this number would take away from the reality of the single. It made it all the more intriguing to have a real number, but it also quickly became an extinct number as many owners who were unfortunate to possess it requested for it to be changed. For many years, the band told of a real Jenny, and number, however the song has since been found to be totally fictional.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#0000FF" style="background-color:#FF0000" width="100%" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b><br />17th May, 1982</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b><br />#22</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run: </b>70, 50, 43, 34, 32, 29, 33, 29, 22, 24, 24, 26, 28, 42, 50, 63 (16 weeks)</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b><br />20,079</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiluVzBWuO7ADmnLIxEQJsVEbRGiBiAiBLbuRAt2BcCK97OUnQFR_4NIRbiYlnIFBI7yqR8NGaT2i_l0ABs0p5RIkNYKMBz1gLuKxtgLMjuO-AzK8mumomRBADgvlpyiM4ltaPRVollG020/s320/THE+REALMcCOYALCFL.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587229153202955330" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">26.</span> AUTOMATIC LOVER (CALL FOR LOVE)</b> The Real McCoy</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "Another Night".</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">Arista 07822-12877-2</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">It took five years for MC Sar & The Real McCoy to break into the charts.

But it's delivery of verses as a phone conversation makes it undeniably a telephone song. The Big Bopper brilliantly portrays the desperate man looking to break into a date with his sweetheart over the phone, so delivery so perfect that's there's no need for us to hear the other side of the conversation. "Chantilly Lace" would become The Big Bopper's only Top 20 hit in Australia before his life was tragically cut short when he died in a plane crash with Ritchie Valens and Buddy Holly. "Chantilly Lace" was still charting at the time.

It seems the Dire Straits was way too big to keep down, and the band was resurrected early 1991 to record what would be their final album, this time for good.

After "Crank That" and "Yahhh!" became hits, much to my amazement and disappointment, many of us could only wish that he would remain a "one hit wonder". "Kiss Me Thru The Phone" returned Soulja Boy, real name DeAndre Cortez Way, to the charts with the help of RnB child star Sammie, who hit the US charts in 1999 at the age of 12. Chris Brown was first choice for featured vocals, but upon turning down the job, Soulja Boy gave it a shot himself using autotune. It wasn't what he had hoped and employed Sammie instead. Just like Jenny's 867-5309, the number in this track, 6899-98212 is a real number belonging to an English couple in Lancashire who received many calls.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify; "><div style="text-align: justify; "></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#0000FF" width="100%" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" style="background-color: rgb(255, 0, 0); "><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b><br />30th March, 2009</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b><br />#16</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> 74, 47, 42, 36, 29, 27, 23, 16, 17, 17, 24, 26, 27, 32, 50, 49, 50, 39, 53, 64,<br />86, 94 (22 weeks)</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Acc</b><br />●</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b><br />28,391</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8quUt-OjgZSy6rJcckKCHwIuym2fFWbY5k-Z-7UeRn2CiGxV4I_SZR3IHmRFIGO6jSgf0sKXhRYT_qiBUf2Mvh_Fs2ZfXzXIJRI1wAqjPp0B47x2ji9XcnJyqM-Wbur2i2GWWLIok6-To/s320/PHILCOLLINSBDLMN.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587708964442387538" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span></span><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">22.</span> (BILLY) DON'T LOSE MY NUMBER</b> Phil Collins</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "No Jacket Required".</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">WEA 7-259001</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Perhaps Australia is a sucker for names in titles, but for some reason, the Australian release of "Don't You My Number" came with an added "Billy". I guess we should be happy to get such specialized treatment. Phil's comic abilities really kicked in for "Don't Lose My Number", the video clip allowing him to parody other popular video clips at the time. It was kind of a video clip in reality as Phil didn't really know what angle he was going to take. As it turned out, that was exactly the angle he took, using the theme selection for the video clip as the them itself. As he talks to various directors, Phil receives bad suggestions that have him copying big stars such as Michael Jackson, David Lee Roth and Elton John, and using themes similar to <i>Mad Max 2</i> and various samurai movies.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify; "><div style="text-align: justify; "></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#0000FF" width="100%" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" style="background-color: rgb(255, 0, 0); "><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b><br />15th July, 1985</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b><br />#10</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> 61, 46, 29, 13, 10, 10, 10, 16, 21, 25, 37, 56, 59, 67, 83, 86 (16 weeks)</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b><br />29,840</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><br /></div></span></span></div></div></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyMhb8HYoFxgz_kJrchng8FXPrSy7LO-2lwP1VW0N3fDPR8AXmr54pJ4oSJZHFT0srAYr4_1lVvv6LkqgP3amWWbEedloKPZOi4Xb4V9uNnzWlwkzuMcSFb54WBhn0A8XLTSK79feKM0-E/s320/GOWESTCM.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587546362467993906" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">21.</span> CALL ME</b> Go West</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "Go West".</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">Chrysalis K 9676</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">With Go West's debut single, "We Close Our Eyes", it was all about Peter Cox's good looks and well-toned body.

They did better than most with "Call Me" almost giving the band back to back Top Ten hits from their self-titled debut album, itself just peaking inside the Top 20. As these things usually turn out, Go West had another moderate hit from the album, and a couple of minor hits to back them up.

A culture was forming that would soon influence the world, and eventually in the way we purchased music. Da Muttz took the "craze", cashed in, turning the term "Wassuup" into a part of everyday language. The English duo of Alez Rizzo and Elliot Ireland hit the charts a year before as Shaft, scoring the hits "(Mucho Mambo) Sway" and "Mambo Italiano". They stretched the already sampled "Super Freak" by Rick James into another hit. There was one more single to come from the guys as Da Muttz, "Could You Be The One", but absent from the charts, the Da Muttz incarnation for Alez and Elliot would remain a "one hit wonder".</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify; "><div style="text-align: justify; "></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#0000FF" width="100%" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" style="background-color: rgb(255, 0, 0); "><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b><br />7th May, 2001</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b><br />#12</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> 41, 31, 20, 18, 15, 12, 14, 13, 15, 18, 20, 32, 35, 57, 74, 83 (16 weeks)</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Acc</b><br />●</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b><br />35,087</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><br /></div></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ-4URnkBO1hGUMra6x-Jz0E3LPiCLmGF_FNBiia6JByLkTAylogSqbDtQUkTZUQwWSqi0D3dZ31aT3FCQndNk1fwkyPWN5hGFWc4oioMB03p6o4_YUGvNREjcei4yT2vU53icH9xly4Ih/s320/PAULEVANSHTIJ.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587906998294216290" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">18.</span></span> </b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><b>HELLO, THIS IS JOANNIE <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">(THE TELEPHONE ANSWERING MACHINE SONG)</span></b> Paul Evans</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">Polydor/Spring 2066 932</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">What seems like a light-hearted song about an answering machine message, is actually a morbid song about a car crash death.

"Hello, This Is Joannie" tells of a couple who fight after a night of drinking. She leaves in a rage and drives home leaving the guy full of remorse the following day. After calling her up, he is met with an answering machine message which forms the chorus of the hit. The reality hits by the end of the song that the woman never made it home.

Leading up to the bands' formation in 1977, the guys had backed artists such as Barbra Streisand, Jackson Browne, Aretha Franklin and Boz Scaggs, and filled in the gaps for bands such as Steely Dan and Seals And Crofts. Keyboardist David Paich and drummer Jeff Porcaro began to talk seriously about forming their own band, and soon Toto were in the studio laying down tracks for what would be an instant hit album. "Hold The Line" holds little content about the telephone on the outside, but the title is a mantra regularly used when the person you're reaching is not here at the moment, thus, "love isn't always [here] on time".</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#0000FF" style="background-color:#FF0000" width="100%" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b><br />15th January, 1979</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b><br />#8</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run: </b>86, 64, 39, 29, 24, 20, 14, 11, 9, 8, 11, 11, 16, 27, 33, 38, 58, 98 (18 weeks)</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b><br />40,739</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_fr2JisnRN8vgcVxm-LxSQeveL-q2MZSPxFlBoX0wTsGwNz_WLTzJk4ghH-fIum9pCTLqeCaFaK63PKQy2MQaJO8aEw6MIy1vJSgudhdcVEGr9ZTN2AMAvlriKE9gloBz4iYMKubULBUE/s320/CITYBOY5705.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588662062468175106" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">14.</span> 5.7.0.5.</b> City Boy</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "Book Early".</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">Mushroom Int.

Together for just six years, the band released one album every year without fail during 1976-1981, including two releases during their debut year. The middle child almost gave them a Top Ten hit in Australia, "5.7.0.5." missing out by one place, but City Boy boasted a Top Ten thanks to the UK placing them at #8. The UK also gave the band their only other chart entries, "What A Night" (1978, #39) and "The Day The Earth Caught Fire" (1979, #67), before fading into the background again. City Boy saw the beginnings of a couple of big future stars.

In 1991, it was hip-hop's turn with De La Soul providing one of the first big hits for the genre. No #1 yet, but De La Soul steered hip-hop pretty high to the Australian Top 5, higher than both the UK and the US. "Ring Ring Ring (Ha Ha Hey)" is a party jam about an obsessed fan trying to have his work endorsed by the group. This was particularly inspired by Miles Tackett, frontman of a ten-piece funk orchestra called Breakestra, who bombarded the group with demo tapes (noted in the line "piles and piles of demo taped bi-da miles"). Typically hip-hop, this track uses many samples, but its' most obvious borrowing is in the chorus, using the lyric and melody from Curiosity Killed The Cats' "Name And Number".</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><div style="text-align: justify; "><div style="text-align: justify; "></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#0000FF" width="100%" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" style="background-color: rgb(255, 0, 0); "><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b><br />2nd June, 1991</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b><br />#4</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> 74, 43, 25, 14, 7, 4, 6, 7, 6, 10, 10, 16, 18, 28, 35, 45, 55, 64, 75, 81, 88 (21 weeks)</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Acc</b><br />●</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b><br />52,097</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_VzLubvQ3bWrb_eo6kFBvFU9WykstnWlOlaz_B_zFiFDIpwtWNyX9LSNuzu0onkh0mUvb3kf3ET9jnkBVAZCMrCSK-LUqWv3u30ro4FEdrEKqZsCzaDkUGVBSCV94AZsGVxpK8rWU2B8z/s320/JIMMYLITTLERT.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588992212375302498" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">12.</span> ROYAL TELEPHONE</b> Jimmy Little</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">Festival FK 453</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">To a new generation of music lovers, it was Yothu Yindi and Warumpi Band that introduced indigenous Australians to the music charts, but as far back as popular Australian music goes, there was always one. Jimmy Little, a member of the Yorta Yorta people, grew up on the Cummerangunja Mission on the Murray River, leaving for Sydney to focus on a Country music career in the mid-50's. After releasing the first of many minor hits in 1956, Jimmy finally broke through with "Danny Boy" in 1959. Reaching #18, Jimmy soon earned the nickname, Honey Voice, with his smooth mellow vocals easy to fall in love with. "Royal Telephone" had been covered many times before as far back as 1927, with the original composition written sometime at the beginning of the century. For Jimmy, it gave him his biggest hit, a Top Ten, and the most successful version recorded.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify; "><div style="text-align: justify; "></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#0000FF" width="100%" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" style="background-color: rgb(255, 0, 0); "><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center; "><b>Entry</b><br />5th October, 1963</td><td style="text-align: center; "><b>HP</b><br />#10</td><td style="text-align: center; "><b>Chart Run:</b> (Kent Charts) 17, 11, 12, 14, 13, 10, 11, 11, 11, 14, 18, 20, 18 (24 weeks in Top 100)</td><td style="text-align: center; "><b>Points</b><br />57,111</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><br /></div></span></span></div></span></div></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk0xfGi6YyWaQwfniaScbbK_xQbCT4luJIeNJjlqkBI6NV78rU8g5HYyNqpHUNx1pPSzJMjuXPSVoV7HJoPfMc585pTfUTFhbNH5gZe3dIeO2T05J8d4KHNnSn0y-BBdkFexEmB5BpontX/s320/ABBARR.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588898961381994082" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">11.</span> RING RING</b> Abba</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "Ring Ring".</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">RCA Victor 102496</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Officially, "Waterloo" was the first chart entry for Abba, but technically, it was "Ring Ring". At the end of 1973, four established Swedish artists came together to form the biggest pop group ever. As Bjorn & Benny Anna & Frida, the quartet popped their heads into the Australian Top 100 with this, their third single, for just two weeks, it's success a universe away from what would happen a few years later. "Waterloo" reached #4 in Australia the following year, but Abba-mania was still a year away. A re-released version of "Ring Ring" in 1976, this time hitting the Australian Top Ten, was part of what was one of the most spectacular haul of hits ever seen in music history. Originally written in Swedish, its English translation was assisted by Neil Sedaka and Phil Cody.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#0000FF" style="background-color:#FF0000" width="100%" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b><br />12th November, 1973</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b><br />#7</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> (Bjorn & Benny Anna & Frida) no data available (2 weeks in Top 100)<br />Re-entry (as Abba - 13th January, 1975): 90, 90, 96<br />Re-entry (9th February, 1976): 56, 41, 34, 26, 14, 10, 7, 7, 12, 11, 11, 10, 16, 17, 17, 18, 25, 32, 41, 51,<br />54, 68, 76 (26 weeks)</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b><br />57,636</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyLDNI7WFxWyn89bmAf_2e01RUVuYS2sfab0AsP3rku5oPP9D94WFGhuqgslT70D9Nvv_UBtmQ-hbczhW2MA_YMDwVXctnjWMW5UAr_WHlmh50qEQgA0I-hqYRKeb3cIL7-0c4QpFpjyLI/s320/EVANESCENCECMWYS.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5590145952750578754" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">10.</span> CALL ME WHEN YOU'RE SOBER</b></span><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> Evanescence</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "The Open Door".</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">Epic/Sony BMG Music Entertainment 82876894162</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">In 2004, Evanescence lead singer, Amy Lee, featured on the breakthrough hit from Seether called "Broken" which hit the Australian Top 3 in September of that year. Two years later, Amy was back with her usual band singing about her failed relationship with Seether lead singer, Shaun Morgan. The relationship began shortly after the release of "Broken", but Shaun's dependency on alcohol to ease his anger and unhappiness in the relationship took its toll. Coincidentally, Shaun went into rehab the day "Call Me When You're Sober" was released. There's always two sides to these stories, and Amy's side continued Evanescence's love affair with the charts, leaving the "door open" for Seether to rebut.

The lyrics suggest she has a preference to the dance floor rather than answering her lover's phone calls.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre; font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: normal; "><div style="text-align: justify; "><div style="text-align: justify; "></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#0000FF" width="100%" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" style="background-color: rgb(255, 0, 0); "><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b><br />30th November, 2009</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b><br />#3</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> 29, 38, 30, 28, 24, 22, 19, 15, 13, 16, 16, 14, 17, 8, 11, 11, 9, 3, 3, 4,<br />12, 17, 14, 21, 23, 27, 31, 36, 39, 43, 49, 46, 50, 60, 63, 64, 65, 72, 73, 81, 81, 77, 74, 68, 52,<br />64, 82, 72, 84,---,---,---,---,---,---, 99, 99, 97, 85 (53 weeks)</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Acc</b><br />▲²</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b><br />137,676</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre;"><br /></span></div></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_4WtZFJgie_7P4hoCWz-vurOPhvopFf614GTxRVj4WJIsSD7N8ORTH81KQfsSbpnx_d-fXLi8fVVLgHmhHOHM-643cEHihozREkv75WOD7G2SLTIfzLNv0w6aXOP98En7UPM9rMiWAcOS/s320/RAYPARKERJRG.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591261068247053506" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">2.</span> GHOSTBUSTERS</b> Ray Parker, Jr.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the soundtrack album "Ghostbusters".</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">Arista K 9454</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">It may be an odd choice to include in this list, but once "Ghostbusters" hit the charts, "Who you gonna call?" became a catch cry for anyone needed via telephone.

Ray Parker, Jr. also featured in adverts for the UK Directory Enquiries service 118-118 singing "Who Can You Call? 118" while two giant versions of the 118 men parody the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from the original film. Two further "Ghostbusters" singles charted for Run-D.M.C.

All five nominees reached #1 in the US, the only time this has ever happened. It's a long cry for the unknown film songs nominated these days. Stevie Wonder beat out "Footloose" by Kenny Loggins and "Let's Hear It For The Boy" by Denice Williams, both from <i>Footloose</i>, Phil Collins' "Against All Odds" from the movie of the same name, and funnily enough, "Ghostbusters", the #2 song on the telephone list by Ray Parker, Jr. And just to show his might, Stevie also surpassed Lionel Richie's "Hello" in sales to not only break the million copies mark in the UK, but to become the biggest selling <i>Motown</i> single in the country ever! The simplistic message of conveying one's love over the telephone ensured it was universally received as "I Just Called To Say I Love You" hit #1 in almost every country. But while it became Stevie's biggest hit, it was also critically panned for lacking the organic and experimental feel of his 70's output, opting for synthesizers and drum machines instead. This observation was made in the 2000 film, <i>Hi Fidelity</i>, as the low point of Stevie's career.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#0000FF" style="background-color:#FF0000" width="100%" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b><br />24th September, 1984</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b><br />#1</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> 51, 7, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 4, 6, 6, 6, 6, 14, 15, 18, 24, 29, 36, 42, 44,<br />48, 47, 55, 42, 44, 43, 42, 56, 60, 58, 53, 65, 70, 71, 67, 82, 83, 74, 80, 78, 74, 89,---, 95 (48 weeks)</td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b><br />211,388</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 13px; font-size:10px;"><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:x-small;">The ARIA charts came into effect on 26th June, 1988, with information of its Top 50 available to the public.

A guy named Pete invites two others, Mike and Matt, to join him on a journey. Later, they would become one of the most successful songwriter/production teams of all time. From 1987 to 1990, it seemed we heard nothing else but their brand of bubblegum pop on the radio, television and in the charts. Careers were boosted and pop stars were born.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">It's the time of Stock, Aitken & Waterman.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Mike Stock, Matt Aitken and Pete Waterman joined forces early 1984 to work on the Cyprian entrant for the </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Eurovision Song Contest</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">, and then produced a few minor hits for the likes of Divine and Hazell Dean. The following year, they scored their first #1 in the UK with Dead Or Alive's "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)", and soon the "assembly line" was in full swing.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Stock, Aitken and Waterman produced over 100 Top 40 hits in the UK, twelve reaching the #1 position. And Australia wasn't too far behind. 73 Top 100 hits boasted the SAW touch with an amazing 57 of those hitting the Top 20. Futhermore, 22 of those managed a Top Ten placing, while five made it all the way to the Australian #1 spot. All this adds up to over 100 million record sales worldwide, and all from what has critically been claimed as a formula used over and over again. Well, it would seem it worked for us, and work for them.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">In the early 90's the team split when Matt Aitken went into retirement, however, Stock and Waterman continued to produce into the 90's. While success took a dramatic downturn, the duo still managed a few chart entries for Kylie Minogue and Bananarama. Since then, the SAW brand of pop has been extinct from the charts, although there had been a few minor re-entries over the years from Kylie Minogue's "Better The Devil You Know", Dead Or Alive's "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)", and their Band Aid sequel from 1989, "Do They Know It's Christmas?" enjoying an unlikely Christmas resurgence in 2008 and 2009, also making it the very last SAW chart entry ever.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Stock, Aitken and Waterman reunited in 2007 to produce The Sheilas' "(I'm So) Happy Happy (You're Mine)", while the Stock/Waterman production for England's <i>Eurovision 2010</i> entrant, Josh Dubovie with "That Sounds Good To Me", also created some familiar hype to the famed production team. However, the former only just nudged the UK charts at #91, and their Eurovision effort was a dismal failure, ending the night in last place of the Top 25 finalists. But their musical output of their "golden years" far outshadows their 80's success, and Stock, Aitken and Waterman can be credited as adding the final gloss to a decade already full of vibrance and colour.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-large;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#000000" style="background-color:#CC66FF" width="100%" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><b>THE TOP 50 BIGGEST<br />STOCK, AITKEN & WATERMAN SINGLES</b></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><br /></span></div></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb3N9-Kjnq7nNlv0XjtiJrqm79fZlmHADzeJz_e4A9sRFnY9dYAbMnU8_S9Pl3bwS84PIwX3ibhFDAPFtXuXIqKhdmtS1PqgG9Yk8z5SzQhtMqXkQtvqqLfDCR7yOIf-MZSxgJnLxITn3R/s320/DEAD+OR+ALIVE++Hooked+On+Love.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521425128503211842" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b>50.</b></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">HOOKED ON LOVE</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> Dead Or Alive</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "Mad, Bad And Dangerous To Know".</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Epic 605509 7</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">First there was Boy George, and then Marilyn, briefly. Dead Or Alive frontman, Pete Burns, would carry the androgynous male pop star persona to the 80's end, making for a very "open" decade indeed. His outrageous appearance was enough for Pete to be encouraged into the music business, gathering some sort of a band together as early as 1977. The result was The Mystery Girls who lasted just one performance before sending Pete back to the drawing board. Returning in 1979 with a new band, Nightmares In Wax, their early gothic post-punk sound eventually gave way to radio-friendly pop, and the more marketable name, Dead Or Alive. "Hooked On Love" was typical DOA/SAW, but suffered from little promotion by their record company due to its Gothic overtones.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#000000" style="background-color:#CC66FF" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">25th May, 1987</div></td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">#33</div></td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> 81, 45, 34, 33, 47, 51, 56, 76, 79 (9 weeks)</td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">5,229</div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXvI50cKOPJqKEMeY-PE73sf84YcHSJIXQz6pAj0whSGpJbNSXYlxBJs1BQSwfApzp4JvG9si5dicpFq1uW_UOfocGUraN4j0d9icw-LNuIoq0Lza6NwW5UdLI-w7zHHx8pD5C-LIpX6or/s320/DEAD+OR+ALIVE++My+Heart+Goes+Bang.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521422060455319778" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b>49.</b></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">MY HEART GOES BANG (GET ME TO THE DOCTOR)</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Dead Or Alive from the album "Youthquake".</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Epic ES1088</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">It wasn't his heart that was Pete Burns' biggest dilemma. One of cosmetic surgery's regular customers, Pete has freely admitted his look has been greatly enhanced by the surgeon's knife, for better or worse. In 2007 he filed a lawsuit against the plastic surgeon who had apparently botched up Pete's lips, leaving him looking quite distorted indeed.

At 13, Sinitta was a regular on the West End musical scene, appearing in <i>The Wiz</i>, <i>Cats</i> and <i>Little Shop Of Horrors. </i>The youngster also managed a spot in the <i>Rocky Horror Picture Show</i> "sequel", <i>Shock Treatment</i>, before spending a little time on various television shows. It was only natural that a musical career should soon blossom, "Toy Boy" being one of the singles released from her debut album.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#000000" style="background-color:#CC66FF" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">26th October, 1987</div></td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">#49</div></td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> 91, 93, 57, 62, 50, 50, 50, 50, 49, 49, 49, 65, 76, 78, 76 (15 weeks)</td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">6,494</div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7HO3svDiP0u8Ce9oUzj3fIc342-IfgCWkb1PoW97AjsWIlIF-Z2wm7-oS2I7pEpl9JV_Qv5B5tfAolZBpHmgqcq_vQJYRPQtVXhOO2ssJvSTdMhWiXzJhQa3BYSshpkctlpGSOq389Kxc/s320/DEAD+OR+ALIVE++In+Too+Deep.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521426957606319698" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b>47.</b></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b> </b></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">IN TOO DEEP</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> Dead Or Alive</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "Youthquake".</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Epic ES1068</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">While SAW can claim much of Dead Or Alive's success, they actually didn't come onboard until the bands' second album, <i>Youthquake</i>. DOA had previously enjoyed a Top 50 hit, without SAW, covering the KC & the Sunshine hit, "That's The Way (I Like It)", in 1984. It was the first taste we had of Dead Or Alive in Australia, as the cover just made our Top 50, peaking at #45. Taken from their debut album, <i>Sophisticated Boom Boom</i>, the albums' title was taken from The Shangri-Las song of the same name, a nod to the 60's pop influences featured throughout the album. One of DOA's key songwriters, Wayne Hussey, left the group just before their debut album was released, leaving them as a solid four piece that would soon become an 80's success.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#000000" style="background-color:#CC66FF" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">12th August, 1985</div></td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">#31</div></td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> 59, 44, 41, 33, 31, 37, 52, 63, 75, 100 (10 weeks)</td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">6,615</div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyOb7qYbwlF6bOg4h-D2R66zQ_uNyGsRqK1hdZGRzoxQwnDrGD6pBFo5lv4_q7UOZl_-FCqxlHdZKSVuP4Obbh2o0dFU-Or_YEFDkbj9_9iHfmu8lHT6qKLOa6giyR28BSan_sr3cQ2tpX/s320/FERRY+AID+LIB.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521522173916031490" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b>46.</b></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b> </b></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">LET IT BE</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> Ferry Aid</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">CBS 650796 7</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Stock, Aitken & Waterman were recruited by </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">The Sun</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> newspaper to produce a star-studded line-up to aid the 1987 Zeebrugge Disaster, in which the </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">MS Herald Of Free Enterprise</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> ferry capsized, killing 193 passengers and crew. </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">The Sun</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> had sold cheap tickets for the ferry on that day, with many of the victims taking advantage of the promotion.

Initially, interest was slow, but SAW had a stable of stars of their own to draw from, with most of the names on this list participating in some way on the track. Eventually the stars began to shine as big names Boy George, Kate Bush, Gary Moore and even the songs' composer, Paul McCartney, all donated their time to the worthy cause.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#000000" style="background-color:#CC66FF" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">25th May, 1987</div></td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">#28</div></td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> 44, 38, 28, 28, 40, 45, 53, 78 (8 weeks)</td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">6,872</div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIpnsSMvRETjgyEP9y_NrefS5tttCQsZHJn_Z18-x95b9GlARkopSgnB7Gq5BKeo70soMHB4rVR8fOUphJJYazh3HWQW5r09Oqa2TY4858dattmW6Mm7g0l19B2-hWS5x3JANCmXE5Rl3a/s320/BANANARAMA+LTAH.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521508476920124274" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b>45.</b></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b> </b></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">LOVE, TRUTH & HONESTY</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> Bananarama</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "The Greatest Hits Collection".</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">London 886 362-7</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">The first single release from Bananarama's Greatest Hits package, it would also be the first and only time Jacquie O'Sullivan, Siobhan Fahey's replacement, received a songwriting credit for a Bananarama track during her brief stay with the group. It's widely known that Greatest Hits albums are regularly a career killer, and Bananarama suffered accordingly with "Love, Truth & Honesty" being their last US <i>Billboard</i> Top 100 appearance, and one of their last charting songs in Australia. But far from over, Bananarama have gone on to release six albums since, one with Jacquie, and the rest as a duo. Renewed interest in the group came with 2005's <i>Drama</i> album, featuring a couple of tracks that put Bananarama back in the Australian Top 100 after a 14 year dry spell.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#000000" style="background-color:#CC66FF" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">27th November, 1988</div></td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">#32</div></td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">55</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">43</span>, 43, 38, 32, 44, 44, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">50</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">53</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">62</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">81</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">96</span> (12 weeks)</td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">7,670</div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOc-Br1iA34kOleR954xYyGMSDWZFN8cV4HMT5uVNxccH6l-0yRC8ekFtuxrWMcXY8pjKhOcH0MwJjJJ8nHAQ7gtZ2HqN93tge4lcpigwInBYslDy4qXOYx0fzWuP3TRW1KcIh3VE-2sYs/s320/SONIA++You%27ll+Never+Stop+Me+From+Loving+You.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521525891386554898" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b>44.</b></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b> </b></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">YOU'LL NEVER STOP ME FROM LOVING YOU</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> Sonia</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "Everybody Knows".</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Chrysalis CHS2279</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Sonia Evans was given her Stock, Aitken & Waterman break when she cornered Pete Waterman outside his recording studio, begging him to hear her sing.

It wasn't all as sweet as Sonia's chirpy persona would make out to be. Tensions between herself and SAW saw Sonia leave the <i>Hit Factory</i> and go out on her own for her second album. It garnered less success, of course, but a second place in the 1993 <i>Eurovision Song Contest</i> saw Sonia return to the forefront of pop for a split second more.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#000000" style="background-color:#CC66FF" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">10th September, 1989</div></td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">#29</div></td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">57</span>, 44, 46, 37, 36, 29, 40, 48, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">42</span>, 50, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">69</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">82</span> (12 weeks)</td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">7,803</div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP7hlTc6ynmVoB17PiabzTvFxfPb7Gw-Y18e04MzPno-aiOGoJSUuJOZx_9org64Ec7mrQgnyEpyn6M_5qh9wPnuhgushIUtXom4jwuRnyBLTao7KmQ3faDSIjfgtO97i9k6au6tyQCbKY/s320/BIG+FUN++Blame+It+On+The+Boogie.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521526924233370850" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b>43.</b></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b> </b></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">BLAME IT ON THE BOOGIE</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> Big Fun</span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "A Pocketful Of Dreams".</span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">RCA ZB43061</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Big Fun were Phil Creswick, Mark Gillespie and Jason John, and are quite possibly the gayest product from the Stock, Aitken & Waterman team (just look them up on </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">YouTube</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> for the proof!).

Despite its success on the US Dance Charts, it wasn't enough to keep the duo together into a complete album, and soon Mark took up a trade renovating properties, with Phil continuing to write and produce for little known disco act, Family Fantastic, who were also helped along by Vince Clarke from Erasure and Yazoo.

The comedy team had previously sent up the group on their popular French & Saunders TV series, so it was a fitting marriage of parody and reality. While The Beatles original reached #1 in 1965, the Bananarama version missed repeating the success of the original, reaching #3 in the UK. Bananarama were a bit unfortunate to have this as their final Top 50 entry in Australia before obscurity took over their career. They certainly had a major hand in shaping the 80's, and a comedy record was not the way to end it all. That error was corrected in 2005 when "Move In My Direction" hit #41 to be their last Top 50 entry.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#000000" style="background-color:#CC66FF" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">14th May, 1989</div></td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">#25</div></td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">52</span>, 26, 25, 27, 37, 42, 49, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">69</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">88</span> (25 weeks)</td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">8,969</div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixfS9RRfCpP5bGidrZ02Qc7jTgxEuiz3-2rgLFsrOR-o_PunoXePIWCiWciFkAG2i194fE8kzBYHsw4uQV0l0EB2WX8z9BxlARD0RCSPcvpR7QPaICOFFgs7Uyh4lKEDLY8UFOYaOPshFT/s320/BANANARAMA+MTP.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521412998648540002" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b>40.</b></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b> </b></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">MORE THAN PHYSICAL</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> Bananarama</span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "True Confessions".</span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Liberation LS1870</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">And the Bananarama hits keep rolling in!

After a failed first single, there would be no room for shyness as "Never Gonna Give You Up" took over the worldwide charts.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#000000" style="background-color:#CC66FF" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">13th June, 1988</div></td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">#19</div></td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">59</span>, 25, 19, 30, 23, 29, 24, 40, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">56</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">64</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">82</span> (11 weeks)</td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">14,742</div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4YfIKKVJ03HYOrwOVv0OKjhCNM2L-Bjyg-Gf-0HgqchrohT_tN9EK7tW5EYY5b75NQc9AsqpYGeMgpmuvtq5XRuYbBDVsPx9voRlA2BQ11SaqwCvvS6L_4Y3mEyJCQPcQGqlywTcqYhOa/s320/MEL+%26+KIM++FLM.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521499289298966418" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b>34.</b></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b> F.L.M. </b>Mel & Kim</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "F.L.M.".</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Liberation/Supreme LS1976</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Mel & Kim had four out of four Top Ten hits in the UK, the only act other than Kylie to achieve this perfect feat under the SAW banner. After Mel's death, Kim began her solo career assisted by her then boyfriend, ex-Bros bass player, Craig Logan. Her debut, "Don't Worry", made it to #2 in the UK, but it seemed Australia wasn't interested as it failed to make our Top 100. Further releases saw Kim into the mid-90's, each single release declining in success, but all entering the UK Top 60. After two albums, Kim took time out from the music business, popping up now and then on film and television, but has just recently starting releasing music again as a featured artist for dance acts such as Whiteman and Levthand. For those not quite in the know, "F.L.M." stands for Fun, Love and Money.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#000000" style="background-color:#CC66FF" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">7th September, 1987</div></td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">#19</div></td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> 48, 25, 19, 23, 20, 22, 35, 45, 60, 67, 73, 83 (12 weeks)</td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">15,845</div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge7wqIuiN-Hyd1IS1ww_i4vxZaJYczpVtFiNUWyn-GyRuUUdYtHPpV84mrPwY5FdR3Xhq_87KKbVTf30zqHOQgSXlSCptcanFYJ9aRl4sKxtHF9FnrDLflwiC1pSwrEwYt6Ia-v6Bz0HWm/s320/KYLIE+MINOGUE+TOMP.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521840673781992514" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b>33.</b></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b> </b></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">TEARS ON MY PILLOW</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> Kylie Minogue</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "Enjoy Yourself" and the soundtrack album "The Delinquents".</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Mushroom K1118</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Close to losing her perfect Top 20 run in the Australian charts, "Tears On My Pillow" just sneaked into the #20 position for a week, becoming Kylie's lowest selling single produced by SAW. Originally released in 1958 by Little Anthony & the Imperials, Kylie's version was used in her debut feature film, </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">The Delinquents</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">. The movie was set in Bundaberg, moving to Brisbane and then Melbourne, which happens to be my exact move through life, too! Kylie hit the Australian Top 20 five more times before 1992's "If You Were With Me Now" could only manage a #23 peak. It made for an amazing run of 14 Top 20 singles in a row. But 1992 saw Kylie's woes added to when "Finer Feelings", the fourth single from her <i>Let's Get To It</i> album, failed to reach the Australian Top 50.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#000000" style="background-color:#CC66FF" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">18th February, 1990</div></td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">#20</div></td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> 21, 20, 21, 21, 27, 33, 36, 57, 57, 67, 90, 88 (12 weeks)</td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">16,191</div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbX1BCD9w6UrUE1wNOdCjE8shpOMTwJGmTvliORPWDgDd6CRyJlyVCrt6KMS8gl0EW8NarnXc1865D2FRQo1bqpNr57ESs1qp8irlvE4kt4sgTSZrrkWb6iErPmzVrMcRjzUafjhNQNQkk/s320/DEAD+OR+ALIVE++Brand+New+Lover.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521428490256581890" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b>32.</b></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b> </b></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">BRAND NEW LOVER</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> Dead Or Alive</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "Mad, Bad And Dangerous To Know".</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Epic ES1164</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">With SAW continuing on with Dead Or Alive for a second album, this was the first single released from the follow-up to the successful <i>Youthquake</i>. So big were Dead Or Alive worldwide, that this was bigger in the US than their native UK, topping the US Dance chart. Even Canada gave the single more success than the dismal #31 peak the UK gave it. Band members Tim Lever and Mike Percy went on to even bigger success when they left the group in 1989 to become remixers and producers. Responsible for writing the bulk of Dead Or Alive's music, they have since written hits for Robbie Williams, Blue and S Club 7. Pete Burns and Steve Coy remained to keep the Dead Or Alive name alive, but toyed with a name change when they released a single as International Chrysis.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#000000" style="background-color:#CC66FF" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">3rd November, 1986</div></td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">#21</div></td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> 74, 35, 36, 23, 22, 21, 28, 40, 39, 39, 43, 49, 50, 55, 48, 54, 59, 67, 80, 81 (20 weeks)</td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">18,824</div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBIFntagL-Ar-v5_BA-yTaderBZYCJLX6krvb75PYXpmMM4o90p38-9WFziTRMDuYh9yT6YiG0OZIakkWRy8KyrGpyUn4mijwcZGoddibyvySOPa5qUpIAmruiRkpUArPVgcka4poJA_1u/s320/DEAD+OR+ALIVE++Something+In+My+House.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521430544511302578" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b>31.</b></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b> </b></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">SOMETHING IN MY HOUSE</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> Dead Or Alive</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "Mad, Bad And Dangerous To Know".</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Epic 650313 7</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">This Gothic pop classic, and quite possibly the best of its kind, was the most successful of the second batch of DOA/SAW collaborations. The <i>Mad, Bad And Dangerous To Know</i> album was released with an extended Flamenco Mix of this track, while a "Mortevicar Mix" exists featuring dialogue from the 1973 classic film, </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">The Exorcist</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">. In 1988, Dead Or Alive parted with Stock, Aitken and Waterman to release <i>Nude</i>. Featuring the #30 hit, "Come Home With Me Baby", it was still a moderate success, however, "Something In My House" would be the band's third and final visit to the Australia Top 20 Singles chart. A remixed version of their biggest hit, "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)" almost returned them back in 1996 when it reached #28.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#000000" style="background-color:#CC66FF" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">16th February, 1987</div></td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">#19</div></td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> 81, 33, 26, 19, 20, 20, 29, 27, 30, 36, 45, 53, 68, 73 (14 weeks)</td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">19,310</div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZssgUNjg-nPJlcNQPuTBe3H2S8jCF__aa0fXDshgPTenJ8QeUwDYAOOmuLsGrrmjsZA3kD4XT3eqtE9n7Lb6tTIW8q2azg84XpW9gD7F-Hg1_Q7XVERjBrMUU-E-aBCaQExx4WG_AiwF2/s320/BANANARAMA+IHAR.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521414465267953442" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b>30.</b></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b> </b></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">I HEARD A RUMOUR</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> Bananarama</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "Wow!".</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Liberation LS1959</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Many would be surprised to learn that this track didn't even crack the Australian Top 30. The lead track from the groups' highly successful <i>Wow!</i> album, "I Heard A Rumour" stuck around in our charts for an impressive 32 weeks, only managing a #32 peak, which makes it the highest placed single to exceed its weekly chart peak with its placement in this list. Bananarama were already established and successful artists by the time <i>Wow!</i> came along, heavily featured as the songwriters on all three of their previous albums. As they weren't about to shed any of their talent and control to work with the producers, Bananarama were one of very few artists who shared writing credits with the SAW team.

For her third album, Sam was handled by various producers. The title track was produced by Full Force, while SAW gave her this one, and an original, "You Started Something". It was somewhat of a reunion for Sam and the two teams, who both helped her out on her previous album. Since then, Sam has released three further albums, <i>Just One Night</i> (1991), <i>21st Century Fox</i> (1998) and <i>Angel With An Attitude</i> (2005). Only <i>Just One Night</i> would have any impression on the charts, peaking at #53 in Canada, but there was more luck in Sweden where a remixed version of "Touch Me" by Günther featuring Sam made it to #1 in 2004.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#000000" style="background-color:#CC66FF" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">23rd April, 1989</div></td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">#19</div></td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">80</span>, 32, 26, 20, 20, 19, 20, 29, 27, 37, 31, 41, 43, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">62</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">80</span> (15 weeks)</td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">22,234</div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjxr_LNc44oiEPgcL_XszAx-zcFIYR3c4CAEXMCYJJA9gxgTlI142lFDSppAFgr_-vj9sR6jZ9LMp4cr53d7TKJn31kkJJF7qbzg1K3dz8VGUoVhNc7KPxClukpbP7HoOuoyzxjewAfZWJ/s320/DEAD+OR+ALIVE++Lover+Come+Back+To+Me.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521433051892308626" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b>28.</b></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b> </b></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">LOVER COME BACK TO ME</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> Dead Or Alive</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "Youthquake".</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Epic ES1044</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">After scoring a #1 hit with their SAW debut, this made a modest impression on the charts, reaching #11 in the UK charts and a #13 placing here in Australia. It seemed that Dead Or Alive might have to focus their promotion in South Africa, though, as the single shot to #3. While this was a minor performer in the US charts, peaking at #75, Dead Or Alive's American success rebounded in 1986 when the singles from their follow-up album hit the Top 20. The <i>Youthquake</i> album, and its follow-up, <i>Mad, Bad And Dangerous To Know</i>, are notable for them completely being produced by Stock, Aitken & Waterman, but not featuring any songwriting by the team. It would be something only Dead Or Alive could get away with, with all others SAW albums written in some way by the team.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#000000" style="background-color:#CC66FF" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">10th June, 1985</div></td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">#13</div></td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> 36, 21, 14, 15, 14, 13, 20, 30, 39, 50, 78, 92 (12 weeks)</td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">24,116</div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLw6JYK6qBCYQMLKqrKsQf0AwGMhUXxxdBsJ-4ICE-BtyJgvkYGaMAHDeWtt4z5QjwQzbjVO8bf350s6nlAsvFWyZ66uh5SwrcGuGfUt-EaIBu7gl6BEKqwxCtmqvATnEjNEHEcOs52WRL/s320/JASON+DONOVAN+SWAK.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521921828777827522" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b>27.</b></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b> </b></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">SEALED WITH A KISS</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> Jason Donovan</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "Ten Good Reasons".</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Mushroom K862</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">It seemed that SAW was the way to go for </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Neighbours</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> stars wanting a music career. No doubt the success of Kylie forced her onscreen husband to take a stab, enjoying quite a bit of success along the way.

"Sealed With A Kiss" has visited the charts many times since its creation in 1960. Originally recorded by The Four Voices, with no chart action, Brian Hyland's 1962 version hit the Top 3 in the UK and the US, re-entering the UK Top Ten in 1975. Versions by Gary Lewis & the Playboys and Bobby Vinton also found their way into the charts. In 2008, Jason released <i>Let It Be Me</i>, an album of 50's and 60's covers, including a new version of this one.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#000000" style="background-color:#CC66FF" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">25th June, 1989</div></td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">#8</div></td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> 12, 8, 9, 10, 18, 22, 35, 44, 48, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">68</span> (10 weeks)</td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">25,479</div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcqmKbYgekt7IVZMINEiq1x8qw-FTFvXXeZtwoYaxsWJEW7HahF-3lJUTr91WDpwPW8iigLonZ3Il-y3gf6EHewHYMsQPpwXJt1b-Vvq3hD1SZzXU3sg9HRgNPZGEMPt5MOw_3UENJmfxj/s320/RICK+ASTLEY+SWTDWM.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521670126189860242" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b>26.</b></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b> </b></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">SHE WANTS TO DANCE WITH ME</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> Rick Astley</span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "Hold Me In Your Arms".</span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">RCA Victor 104962</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Rick's <i>Whenever You Need Somebody</i> album was a hard act to follow, and his second album </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">did</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> fail in comparison.

The B-Side featured "It's No Secret" the intended fifth single from the <i>Kylie </i>album, but "Hand On Your Heart" was in the can, and too good to keep locked up, taking it's place in the singles market. As big a star as Kylie is today, it's easy to forget her musical output was heavily criticised back in the day, and <i>Enjoy Yourself</i> was no exception. <i>Rolling Stone</i> reviewer, Arion Berger, gave the album one star out of five, calling the album "inept", but others described it as a fine companion to her huge debut album, <i>Kylie</i>. Kylie always included bloopers at the end of her video clips to show the real side of herself as opposed to the huge television star she was at the time.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#000000" style="background-color:#CC66FF" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">10th September, 1989</div></td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">#6</div></td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> 10, 10, 6, 12, 16, 22, 22, 43, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">49</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">68</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">82</span> (11 weeks)</td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">27,902</div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdgOTIz54pUv2IkrYRb5eWqXOgzmPGrjXK076sSm7ep7bH4eekrdNTYWrZv1KtVDnrSQro_a32MMaP-RcGIgLWttSUe-GzWGBLfCq4dDdroTqKC5tU7Pl-T2mK-bEvzo1-BDo6KaSaw4nn/s320/KYLIE+MINOGUE+WDIHTD.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521843965228826786" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b>23.</b></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b> </b></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> Kylie Minogue</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "Rhythm Of Love".</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Mushroom K10329</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">One of Kylie's favourites to perform live, this single was supposed to be released before "Step Back In Time", but was conditioned to third release for which it had a slight remix added, making it worth the wait. It continued what would be a brilliant quartet of hi-energy hits from <i>Rhythm Of Love</i> that really broke Kylie out of her almost adolescent 80's persona, and all of which can be considered Kylie's classic Stock, Aitken & Waterman output. The video clip, which continued her transition into the sex siren debuted in "Better The Devil You Know", features Kylie performing in what seems to be a steaming pool, but was actually a freezing cold pool, an experience Kylie did not enjoy. Kylie's sister, Dannii, also appears in the nightclub scene dancing along with her sister.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#000000" style="background-color:#CC66FF" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">24th February, 1991</div></td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">#11</div></td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> 27, 16, 11, 11, 13, 16, 17, 24, 33, 41, 52, 88, 98 (13 weeks)</td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">28,746</div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiTxOzCAJIOKuOJrGjVIsuuGP_9QkaF9Ucm9pvER2qkR_JK33uVGiNUtUHZLBo8VuSogLWkXhXyJ-NGVmxa0ei-1gm2vVZnT3borfidHMaOMR-ZfPsC6MPGuxe9WMfMS9pa5AbWKuwfpP4/s320/KYLIE+MINOGUE+NTL.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521846561260035554" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b>22.</b></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b> </b></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">NEVER TOO LATE</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> Kylie Minogue</span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "Never Too Late".</span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Mushroom K1066</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Kylie's magic chart run was starting to slow upon this, her third release from <i>Enjoy Yourself</i>. It was her lowest charting single at the time, and first in the UK not to hit the Top 2 positions, stalling at #4. Kylie wanted the title track from her <i>Enjoy Yourself</i> album to be released as the third single, but over-ruled by Pete Waterman, "Never Too Late" was granted the single release. With "Tears On My Pillow" released next in conjunction with The Delinquents, "Enjoy Yourself" ultimately missed out. I wonder how Kylie's star power these days would compete in a similar situation?

The centrepiece of the new version was a rap provided by Paulie Bennett, or Jazzi P to her rapper friends, which has become almost as well known as Madonna's "Vogue" break. "Shocked" gave Kylie a place in UK chart history becoming her thirteenth Top Ten hit in a row, and the first artist ever the achieve that perfect run of hits from the beginning of their career.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#000000" style="background-color:#CC66FF" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">30th June, 1991</div></td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">#7</div></td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> 13, 7, 11, 11, 16, 15, 18, 19, 30, 42, 41, 59, 89, 80 (14 weeks)</td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">33,341</div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNfCaFwj35AkGwWzOPxPXnA206XeeA5kHnYfKe9OMab8Z6dtrChnnXtNOPHmUFMpNU1_en9Dktivp1BFQ7ZIRSuqdXtNX5mE3bb6BWmYpfO35X5J8hwIvfxpulQH3-vAVkNAgD2VNh_heh/s320/DIVINE+YTYAM.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521932900946301074" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b>20.</b></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b> </b></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">YOU THINK YOU'RE A MAN</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> Divine</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "The Story So Far".</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Shake/Proto LS1323</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Divine was born into this world quite a different person. Harris Milstead began appearing in his drag persona during the 1970's in various theatrical performances. This early Stock, Aitken & Waterman production enjoyed its biggest success in Australia, helped along by a successful promo tour. As a larger than life drag queen, Divine was well suited to film, appearing in many movies for director John Waters as far back as the mid-60's. After ten films, Divine would find the perfect role playing Edna Turnblad in John Waters' 1988 film, </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Hairspray</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">, but the glory was short-lived when he was found dead in his apartment one week after the films' release in 1988. Due to film an episode of <i>Married...With Children</i> the next day, he died in his sleep of an enlarged heart.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#000000" style="background-color:#CC66FF" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">17th September, 1984</div></td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">#8</div></td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run: </b>57, 33, 21, 20, 15, 8, 8, 9, 18, 25, 29, 43, 51, 61, 67, 67, 67, 81 (18 weeks)</td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">33,504</div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp4OzZsBmI7AfW_obcz9OxXcp83eE4pX7qTM7g1rNWVrSuO8BokEgdn_Bcy9bjrxAaRWl_8DGQLhLRNTiNb1cA0vXLJwoonlreUjiV0FBEXdlTT5Ya1ph3OrzG_BdRC1dUbtl7ilcXl0n4/s320/KYLIE+MINOGUE+JNSPP.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521913224384898386" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b>19.</b></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b> I STILL LOVE YOU (</b></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">JE NE SAIS PAS POURQUOI)</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> Kylie Minogue</span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "Kylie".</span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Mushroom K647</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">After three #1's, Kylie's record was looking pretty good for a fourth hit from her self-titled debut album. This track unfortunately just missed the Top Ten despite having a brand new B-Side, "Made In Heaven". It would be one of four Stock, Aitken & Waterman releases to miss the Top Ten for Kylie, a pity as this stands as one of my faves. The American and Australian release of the single had "I Still Love You" added to the album title, "Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi", something that annoyed me immensely as I thought the original title was perfect on its own. The video features Kylie in a French setting and contains a scene where she dances in the street.

This was the only double A-Side released from SAW, "My Arms Keep Missing You" featuring as a new song to keep the Rick Astley juggernaut going.

Well, Desiree Heslop, as her parents knew her, had been in the music industry since the late 70's working with the group, Osibisa. Stock, Aitken & Waterman gave her the break she needed, albeit short-lived one, as "Say I'm Your No.1" sold over a million copies worldwide, and a moderate hit in "After The Love Has Gone" followed. Princess decided to record album #2 in the United States without SAW. The result, <i>All For Love</i>, was a relative failure to her debut album, but interest still existed in the UK giving her a string of minor hits. A hint of a third album came in 1989 with "Lover Don't Go", but it flopped and no album followed putting an end to Princess' solo career.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#000000" style="background-color:#CC66FF" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">2nd December, 1985</div></td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">#8</div></td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run: </b>91, 96, 46, 36, 36, 36, 22, 12, 11, 10, 12, 8, 10, 12, 18, 17, 27, 49, 56, 66, 77 (21 weeks)</td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">42,432</div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXO4UvsuPVdSh-41bqceLzmZ80foo4kSzLFjBcVlktf2MOsAq0GZRUNtwShMKu9Gt_JGeMkC_JJXYFUZGgtUlz5oJRmn61pnM0efmu9Br-6rkzIOTCeu4okb1iPwziYzJk7D_HbyyV8jr9/s320/KYLIE+MINOGUE+HOYH.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521914234271819234" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b>15.</b></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b> </b></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">HAND ON YOUR HEART</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> Kylie Minogue</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "Enjoy Yourself".</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Mushroom K813</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">After the huge success of her debut, Kylie had come up against tough criticism about her apparent talent. It was time to deliver her second album to prove she was not just a one album wonder. "Hand On Your Heart" was brand new Kylie from her </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Enjoy Yourself</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> album, and although the album failed miserably against her debut, the singles, particularly this one, have stood the test of time. The video for this is one of her finer moments from the early years featuring what would become an iconic dress with a big heart on it that changed colours from scene to scene. "Hand On Your Heart" enjoyed a little resurgence in popularity in 2006 when Swedish singer, José González, recorded an acoustic version which peaked at #29 in the UK, and dented the Australian charts to reach #88.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#000000" style="background-color:#CC66FF" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">4th June, 1989</div></td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">#4</div></td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> 4, 4, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7, 17, 21, 34, 46, 49, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">67</span> (13 weeks)</td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Acc</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">●</div></td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">46,469</div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXj_369YBqevtUBLT267VVRGPrX-WeBFQvT5WKtRbs_EyJSWqC7JaK9dODEsqqcAj5ZXmhoMNluV6GOCsCGxG7sVhudWvXThTyHgITE6Bl5tQfp7WxwKP8GH5OIe2GQo1W8nJpomGLpY-w/s320/KYLIE+MINOGUE+BTDYK.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521915656068760594" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b>14.</b></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b> </b></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">BETTER THE DEVIL YOU KNOW</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> Kylie Minogue</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "Rhythm Of Love".</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Mushroom K10004</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Kylie introduced us to a sexier side of herself with this now classic hit, and one of the best pop songs of the 90's. Apparently, "Better The Devil You Know" was written after it was found that Kylie had switched beaus from Jason Donovan to Michael Hutchence, something to frighten the producers as it was potentially going to turn their lives into hell. As the introduction to her third album, it was also the sound of Kylie taking control of her own career. For </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Rhythm Of Love</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">, she worked with American producers to try and break from the Stock, Aitken & Waterman shackles, although only SAW singles were released from the album, so there was a compromise. Kylie went further with her next album, boasting songwriting credits alongside Stock and Waterman.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#000000" style="background-color:#CC66FF" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">10th June, 1990</div></td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">#4</div></td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> 5, 7, 4, 6, 8, 10, 11, 19, 21, 25, 32, 37, 50, 60, 66, 89, 98</div><b><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; ">Re-entry: (5th April, 1998) 59, 69, 92 (20 weeks)</span></div></b></td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Acc</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">▲</div></td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">47,931</div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNwGVgQBC1ktd0X21b-kY3M8oUIedkINPlfUfqnyuCB6nyt6-OLId5RgPGKKmKC0C6MofuPGpoGPPCXNFtID1JV6v_PiUrAHT1C2nbB-nA6rYYp3AtnwG2iejEWkJQnLNQKpAb2x0gexgE/s320/MEL+%26+KIM++SOGFATW.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521502486819017746" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b>13.</b></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">SHOWING OUT (GET FRESH AT THE WEEKEND)</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> Mel & Kim</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "F.L.M.".</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Liberation LS1884</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Mel & Kim's first single was originally intended to be "System", with "Showing Out" slated as the B-Side. It was flipped to the opposite side as both Mel & Kim, and Stock, Aitken & Waterman were unhappy with the original A-Side, and so "System" was never heard of again, unless, of course, you bought the album. Mel & Kim were born to English and Jamaican parents, and discovered dancing in a London nightclub before being signed to </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Supreme Records</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> and nurtured by Stock, Aitken & Waterman.

Jacquie had already spent a decade in the music industry, starting out as part of a rockabilly group called the Shillelagh Sisters. She found more success as a backing singer for Status Quo and Visage and also appeared in quite a few video clips, including Eurythmics' "Who's That Girl?" which also featured the original members of Bananarama.

After "Better The Devil You Know", this cemented Kylie's reputation as a new-born dance princess rather than a pop star. "Step Back In Time" was Kylie's first attempt at a purely dance market, and stepped back in time herself during 2000 when she released "Spinning Around", in many ways an ode to this track. Barring 1997's </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:small;">Impossible Princess</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:small;">, Kylie would bounce between pop and dance pretty much for every single in her career after her time with SAW.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify; "><div style="text-align: justify; "></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#000000" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" style="background-color: rgb(204, 102, 255); "><tbody><tr><td><div style="text-align: center; "><b>Entry</b></div><div style="text-align: center; ">2nd December, 1990</div></td><td><div style="text-align: center; "><b>HP</b></div><div style="text-align: center; ">#5</div></td><td style="text-align: center; "><b>Chart Run:</b> 8, 5, 6, 6, 6, 6, 11, 10, 10, 13, 19, 24, 25, 30, 51, 67, 67, 81, 76 (19 weeks)</td><td><div style="text-align: center; "><b>Acc</b></div><div style="text-align: center; ">●</div></td><td><div style="text-align: center; "><b>Points</b></div><div style="text-align: center; ">66,621</div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><br /></div></span></div></div></span></div></div></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtqy_NiC9YRIZFilMu6bWk1snidTmjTc5GFWfL2bDeHNzcEQFT8-F4V6WUK6dA7GG5chV_p8a0kRKonTMLgumGuPz6zAQBmjzIYGbUxA_0eKB4vGZewvbTt_vjIyNLSPtUpCDgjVgNHSkv/s320/DEAD+OR+ALIVE++You+Spin+Me+Round+(Like+A+Record).jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521434427587268754" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b>9.</b></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b> </b></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">YOU SPIN ME ROUND (LIKE A RECORD) </span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Dead Or Alive</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "Youthquake".</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Epic ES1088</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">The first UK #1 for Stock, Aitken & Waterman!

This track could only manage a #5 peak in the UK against Australia's Top 3 placing. It was the Asian countries who really idolised Jason as "Nothing Can Divide Us" topped the charts in Japan and Hong Kong. After Jason's music success had subsided, he launched libel action against <i>The Face</i> magazine who had published allegations that he was gay. While he successfully sued, awarded £200,000 in damages, it made Jason appear homophobic and alienated his fans of which a large percentage were gay. To try and win back his supporters, Jason decided not to take the full payment from the magazine which would have closed down if full payment was made.</span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify; "><table border="1" bordercolor="#000000" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" style="background-color: rgb(204, 102, 255); "><tbody><tr><td><div style="text-align: center; "><b>Entry</b></div><div style="text-align: center; ">6th November, 1988</div></td><td><div style="text-align: center; "><b>HP</b></div><div style="text-align: center; ">#3</div></td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> 4, 4, 4, 3, 4, 6, 8, 7, 10, 10, 16, 15, 24, 29, 29, 47, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">69</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">83</span> (18 weeks)</td><td><div style="text-align: center; "><b>Points</b></div><div style="text-align: center; ">78,309</div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><br /></div></span></div></div></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-FtwgJXYx3S4lBnMA4CeMdRXkMMJQEYVXktTnUDTlH4Wg5ShSgtFnbatCsMUiCzstY9La7KniQt3XccGGUeO_VCmPXfUkoKdH9qaEV4gXW4sqqpe6khcYoNBFeh3Y9fJbTnZdcj-BLvjK/s320/RICK+ASTLEY+WYNS.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521831777696976898" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b>7.</b></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b> </b></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">WHENEVER YOU NEED SOMEBODY</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> Rick Astley</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "Whenever You Need Somebody".</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">RCA Victor 104789</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Rick continued the success of "Never Gonna Give You Up" with the title track from his debut album, no doubt riding on the coattails of his massive hit to reach the Australian Top 5.

The song's video clip was shot in Kylie's hometown of Melbourne, and the city's familiar skyline can be seen as Kylie dances her way on building tops. "Got To Be Certain"'s three week run at the top would be the last for Kylie for some time, having to wait until 1994 for her next chart-topper, "Confide In Me". There was an even bigger wait between #1's in the UK when "Tears On My Pillow" hit #1 in 1990, followed 10 years later by "Spinning Around". "Got To Be Certain" was the first of ten single releases in the UK that stalled at #2, which could have made her #1 count 16 instead of the six that actually reached the top.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify; "><div style="text-align: justify; "></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#000000" style="background-color:#CC66FF" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">10th July, 1988</div></td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">#1</div></td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 5, 7, 9, 20, 26, 31, 36, 41, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">50</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">60</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">93</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">91</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">89</span> (19 weeks)</td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">83,135</div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"></span></div></div></span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJrev3VnfpIKNeA4SJCxhlj1jsH4fyXUqlw9jPcNW6iKA-MOStUtG8MUOX74YfdlVumdyy6zhFXVwC2WBO8tfNk6jKdLknPi6ssEQGnlmIykL9rjgR__6Fn1eSV9Zei_u-5QhD-8j2FnoD/s320/BANANARAMA+LITFD.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521416302306680418" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b>5.</b></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b> </b></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">LOVE IN THE FIRST DEGREE</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> Bananarama</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "Wow!".</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Liberation LS1981</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">As one of the most well-known hits of the 80's, it's hard to avoid this song in the retro clubs or on radio stations. Siobhan Fahey is clearly pregnant in this video clip as she plays a prisoner cleverly hidden behind many male dancers - I'm sure a terrible experience. Surprisingly, this is Bananarama's biggest selling single in the UK where it peaked at #3, one of three Bananarama singles to do so. Actually, #3 is all Bananarama could manage during their career - another shock! "Love In The First Degree" was nominated at the BRIT awards for "Best Single" but lost to another Stock, Aitken & Waterman single, Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up". It was at the BRIT's that year that Siobhan last performed as part of Bananarama.

Even the US loved it, sending it to #1 on the Dance Club Play charts. "Respectable" was the second #1 hit for Stock, Aitken & Waterman in the UK after Dead Or Alive's 1985 hit. It lasted just one week at the top, but the producers hardly cared as their ensemble hit, "Let It Be", featuring Mel & Kim, was the single to knock "Respectable" from the top spot. It didn't stop there, as well as the UK and Australia, "Respectable" hit the #1 position in The Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland and New Zealand where it celebrated five weeks at the top, the singles' best performance worldwide. In 2001, another British girl group, Girls@Play, released a cover of "Respectable" which hit #28 in the UK.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#000000" style="background-color:#CC66FF" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">1st June, 1987</div></td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">#1</div></td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> 24, 13, 6, 5, 4, 2, 2, 1, 2, 3, 3, 5, 3, 4, 10, 13, 16, 21, 22, 42,<br />47, 52, 64, 84 (24 weeks)</td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">133,741</div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9uwvueYdQcuZOWfMRXUQLvPNdaXZxkotXCb01MLFnqfShKLqaiPJA78AoDxUFCfBKvi6FdB9gg2nGFx5dQoy-EUT-h8nDQaLOrmxW5NIWNrbNkM3-tlHcekKlE9EApOJntjLwH0gI6K5Z/s320/KYLIE+MINOGUE+ISBSL.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521919046959236594" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b>3.</b></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b> </b></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">I SHOULD BE SO LUCKY</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> Kylie Minogue</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "Kylie".</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Mushroom K485</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">After the amazing success of Kylie's debut in Australia, it was up to SAW to keep her momentum going. Apparently the producers wrote this song in 40 minutes flat as they forgot that she was meeting them to record. In return, Kylie recorded the song in under an hour, and a little piece of pop history was born. As cheesy as this song is, Kylie has learnt to embrace it as her "Holiday", even reciting the words as poetry after a suggestion from mentor, Nick Cave. Kylie has performed "I Should Be So Lucky" at most of her major concerts, one of the few tracks from her debut album to be given that honour (The Loco-motion still pops up here and there, included in some set lists of her KylieX2008 tour). Soon after the singles' success, Mike Stock apologized for forgetting that recording session.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#000000" style="background-color:#CC66FF" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">15th February, 1988</div></td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">#1</div></td><td style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run:</b> 10, 3, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 5, 9, 20, 27, 38, 52, 63, 92 (19 weeks)</td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">134,533</div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlSKuKxyqO-hF3smb95rJzE3bvLhqlGviSUbGHe596ZYaG1pSOk9yWxhAqLbHeljs_HnwbLpWXjYI1Gjpa3rrpx8st_kHeEOFfcWEHip13dzEnvQfLE7inhUQlwsdyW8QfV2kCUYIg7HBu/s320/BANANARAMA+VS.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521417238011204258" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px; " /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b>2.</b></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b> </b></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">VENUS</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> Bananarama</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "True Confessions".</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Liberation LS1789</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">The single that brought Bananarama and Stock, Aitken & Waterman together. The girls had been performing the 1970 Shocking Blue classic for quite some time before deciding to record and release it as a single. With resistance from their usual producers to help them out, they turned to SAW who had just celebrated their first #1 the year before. So successful was the outcome that Bananarama's next album, "Wow!", featured nothing but SAW on production duties. The UK was quite lacklustre with "Venus" compared to the rest of the world. It went #1 in Australia and the US but only reached #8 in their home country, their seventh Top Ten of a total of ten. However, there was no shame involved as the Shocking Blue original also reached #8 in the UK sixteen years earlier.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table border="1" bordercolor="#000000" style="background-color:#CC66FF" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Entry</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">18th August, 1986</div></td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>HP</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">#1</div></td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Chart Run: </b>16, 8, 4, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 5, 9, 11, 16, 18, 20, 25, 34, 30,</div><div style="text-align: center;">30, 29, 30, 38, 40, 43, 62, 67, 57, 76, 82 (31 weeks)</div></td><td><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Points</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">172,553</div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><br /></span></div></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicb-My-_DyHSTLXRGXIuFWV9F7mObvLE3zOkbt7DrXXg9ID-EFRBRSQibhAt0WeUvKbMtIQOVsKGjdxO5aW6OCE2_gqU3gRDnK-R0dTZs1z2Nur-m90d2XoPsyP-VBzUMwk3-0ru3U5gkf/s320/RICK+ASTLEY+NGGYU+(BIG).jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522304584626712034" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 283px; height: 283px; " /></span><b>1.</b></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b> </b></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> Rick Astley</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">from the album "Whenever You Need Somebody".</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">RCA Victor 104746</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">The biggest SAW hit also became the biggest selling single of the 80's in Austraia. With seven weeks at #1, it was at the top of every Christmas list in 1987. This track became infamous in 2007 as an internet joke called "Rickrolling" took over cyberspace. Links to various websites often lead to the songs' film clip, no doubt an agonizing experience for many a non-SAW fan. "Rickrolling" became so popular that </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">YouTube</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> used it as their 2008 April Fools' Day prank, directing all featured videos to the clip. If that wasn't enough, The Rickrollerz, a collective of London dance producers, released their version of "Never Gonna Give You Up" a week later, making a small dent in the UK Club Charts at #22. Unfortunately for Rick, there was no money money to benefit, although he did received $12 from </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">YouTube</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> for his performance share.

Previous to that, the Kent Charts provided information, while the GO SET charts in 1965 become Australia's first official list of the most successful songs on a weekly basis. While this is adequate enough for the general population, there are a few of us who require something on a bigger scale. Something that represents an entire year. Maybe even an entire decade. Well, why stop there, how about all time?</span></div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Well, unfortunately there is nothing provided for us, and realistically, if something was, it would be a farce. Sales figures, population growth, music availability and format, and inflation adjustment are difficult variations to overcome to provide an accurate list, but there's one thing that does stand, and it's back to that good old weekly list of songs.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Personally, I think it's important to keep track of these weekly charts into a bigger picture. It keep those times relevant, and puts them up against the music of today. While radio, and its listeners may be happy to forget certain songs because they aren't the most obvious of past hits to play, I believe we're all missing out on some true gems that would certainly sit nicely against some of the more, shall we say, overplayed hits. Who better a judge of a good song than the people buying music during that time, all contributing towards that weekly Top 100 chart.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">I've been tracking the charts for as long as I can remember. While I may not have been configuring them into some sort of all time list, I must say I was probably only 5 or 6 at the time, and not terribly good at book-keeping. It was more my fascination that songs were ranked, and counted down, and if something went up the charts, it must be something good. It was the end of 1989 when I bought two scrapbooks, and pasted in my first two charts to keep. One was for Singles as I pasted the End Of Year chart for 1989, and the other, likewise, for Albums. For the next eight years, I tracked and collected the printed charts of which I still own today, and with possibly a little bit of value attached, if only just sentimental.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">As the human race progressed onto the internet, so did the charts, and the printed charts stopped. As much as I tried to stay in touch, I lagged behind so much as to lose my interest somewhat in the charts. I always kept and ear out, but my knowledge became less encyclopedic as it had previously been. Eventually I did catch up again, alas almost a decade later, and I had a lot of chart action to catch up on. Becoming an ARIA subscriber, I shall never miss a chart again, no matter how bad its music gets.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Well, enough about me, and more about this thread.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Going back to that weekly chart being enough for most, and the prospect of an all-time list being compiled being pretty much nil, many of us resort to our own points systems. They can be as basic as a 50-1 system issuing 50 points to the #1 song of the week, down to 1 point for #50, or something a little more intricate as mine, which I have fought with, tweaked, and wasted much of my life trying to perfect.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Twenty years later, taking on board the logical barriers, and using a few abstract ideas, I've finally brought all chart entries down to a single formula...</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">=((SUM(<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC33CC;">Weeks 1-50</span>)*<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#663366;">4.5</span>+SUM(<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC33CC;">Weeks 51, 52</span>)*<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#33CCFF;">6.75</span>+<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#663300;">Debut</span>+MAX(<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC9933;">Top 3, Gold</span>))+MAX (<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#666666;">#1, Platinum</span>)+<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">2xPlatinum</span>+<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#009900;">3xPlatinum</span>+<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3366FF;">4xPlatinum</span>)*<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF6600;">Accreditation</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">OK, so its as clear as mud, and also possibly quite far-fetched, but as I said, this comes from 20 years of creative formula constructing, and as long as single fell within the sales limits of their accreditation (which they do for about 95% of the time), I was happy.

That surely is the easiest and least time consuming, and had I adopted such a system I could have probably built a small house with the extra time I would have. I was never comfortable with this, as I thought of the charts being a little less equally spread. I thought of a system where I started at 1 point for #50, and then added 2 points for #49, 3 more points for #48, and so on until I added an extra 50 points for #1. This was something I took on completely quite early in my chart studies, maybe even as early as 1990.

I was kindly brought up to date by a fellow chart lover, and soon I began the daunting task to filling in #51-#100 information. But I had already committed to the triangular system, on paper and in my head.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">My solution was to add 100 points to each of the Top 50 positions (a round number, an ideal I use a lot in this formula) which gave the #50 position 101 points. From there I counted down from 99 for #51, 98 for #52 and so on, until #100 was given 50 points.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#663366;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">ESTIMATED SALES</span></b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">While we can still get a good indication of the most successful singles from the points, I always wanted it to be more in line with a sales figure than just simply a point value. I set about finding a way to bring this figure up to that mark. My formula uses 4.5 as the multiplyer, and while it's easy for me to tell you this now, it was a long and tiresome task to find the most suitable process. Keeping it to "round" numbers, I tried all kinds of multipliers, 3.5, 5, 4, etc. I even tried to tailor them to the years to make the points more in line with ARIA's End Of Year charts. But in the end, I wanted everything universal, and 4.5 hit the mark the most times. Let's see how this worked with one of 1990's Gold hits, "Lambada" by Kaoma.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Weekly Points using the Triangular System = 15,473</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Multiplier .................................................... x 4.5</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Estimated Sales ........................................... = </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">69,629</span></b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">This was actually the highest placed Gold single in 1990's End Of Year charts, suggesting it just missed the Platinum mark of 70,000 units.

Gold singles were left as is, which in actual fact was assigning a multiplier of 1 for that accreditation. Adding .25 to that for Platinum singles, they would then be further multiplied by 1.25. 2xPlatinum singles would be multiplied by 1.4, 3xPlatinum by 1.75, and finally, 4xPlatinum multiplied by 2, the most I've ever had to multiply a single by for a complete year.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">To use another example from 1990, Concrete Blonde's "Joey" was nestled midway amongst other Platinum singles for the year, and my estimated points reflect this nicely.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Weekly Points using the Triangular System = 17,209</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Multiplier .................................................... x 4.5</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Preliminary Estimated Sales ....................... = 77,441</span></span></div></span></span></div></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Platinum Accreditation Multiplier................ x 1.25</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Estimated Sales........................................... = </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">96,801</span></b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">But, of course, there's more than that...to come...</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'Lucida Grande', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre-wrap; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;font-size:-webkit-xxx-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;font-size:130%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: normal; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px;font-size:16px;"><br /></span></span></span></span></div></div>Christopher Deanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05766956688575038600noreply@blogger.com0
