You wouldn't think these later became Doves

I was going to post Cedar Room, but on retrospect, that was 2000. Bugger!

The songs from each year of the 1990s which was number 1 on this very day (3rd Feb) All of which with the exception of Blur (assuming they havent disbanded completely) are long gone.

1990 - Sinead O Connor - Nothing Compares 2 U - She had real tears you know!

1991 - The KLF featuring Children of the Revolution - 3AM Eternal - The following week Do The Bartman was number 1

1992 - Wet Wet Wet - Goodnight Girl The year that only had 12 different number 1's. Something we never see these days!

1993 - Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You Despite being Xmas No1, this song was number 1 for 9 weeks, the next number 1 was 2 Unlimited's No Limit

1994 - D Ream - Things Can Only Get Better Second time this was released, this time it really did get better for them. Well up until Labour used it as their anthem!

1995 - Rednex - Cotton Eye Joe I will put my hands up, I did buy this! The following day, the number 1 was Celine Dion's Think Twice.

1996 - Babylon Zoo - Spaceman Whatever happened to them!

1997 - Blur - Beetlebum - This was their second number 1.

1998 - Usher - You Make Me Wanna - Good job it wasn't the next number 1 which was Aqua's Doctor Jones

1999 - The Offspring - Pretty Fly (for a white guy) - A-ha A-ha!

En Vogue who were an American female group. The Destiny's Child of the 90's so to speak.

Another few from my vinyl record collection,

Those acts aren't exactly "long gone". Sinead O'Connor had a good single with Ian Brown last year called 'Illegal Attacks'. I've never liked Wet Wet Wet, but they had a top ten single in February. Usher has probably had more hits this decade than he had in the '90s, and The Offspring have a new album due out this year.

Anyway, back on topic- this track came up on my iPod shuffle today.

Gala- Freed From Desire

They were fantastic!

What about China Black...?

Remember these from about '94 their first song was called "Searching" the second was "Stars" which personally I think was the better song of the two

Hehe memories of first hearing it on Radio 1 driving in my G reg Ford Escort happy dayz....
