8) One Moment In Time - Whitney Houston


(The song on top before Enya!)


1988 was good for the ladies. Twice it had 3 straight No1's by female soloists.

What's unclear? A song that debuted at number 40 and subsequently climbed from the bottom rung of the chart Top 40, to the top position at No1. There are at least 10 within a particular 8 year period alone. This will sort the men from the boys!

I'm not going to tell you where to look, although I suppose you could scan the OCC website archive if you wanted, plus there is a place that shows "chart runs". I've used neither! Pure memory for me, plus a book!

But I will say that it will help to look pre-1990 for most of them, there that's it!


Just to make it clear, I'm not meaning a 40 to 1 climb in one single go. Nothing ever did that. For example my first one by Pet Shop Boys, West End Girls, went No40 - 23 - 9 - 5 - 4 - 3 - No1.

I know I'm not 'into' music and bands as much as some posters, but as I can't remember what I had for breakfast yesterday let alone what was top of the charts in the 80s, I think I might be with TC on this.

*Pumps hard to 'Stayin' Alive' by The Bee Gees to resusitate the thread*

Methinx it's best to keep the Song Themes fairly simple, but with an occasional little twist of imagination in future.


Song titles that feature a 'Direction'


1) East Of Eden - Big Country

Agreed. Or else I'll start my long-threatened '10 songs featuring Chinese amateur snooker player names' with NO supporting link

2) Somewhere South - Railway Children
