Shoot that old chart from 1990 so we can stop the bleeding.

Another RIP for Wondress, heard here on the less familiar of her two Top
10 hits with Mantronix. He is one of the acts common to this and the 1986
chart last week, though not everyone’s career has gone the same way.
Playlists are here: don’t worry, Billy Joel’s not swearing he’s just
saying “Nantucket”

Chart dated 26 May 1990
1. (1) Adamski - Killer

Still sounds incredible 30yrs on.

Post by Chris Brown
9. (10) Beats International - Won't Talk About It

Disappointing follow up. Album was poor.

Post by Chris Brown
13. (8) Alannah Myles - Black Velvet

Mmmm loved this at the time. Always imagined I'd visit Memphis.

Post by Chris Brown
17. (13) Snap! The Power

Another one that dominated at welsh camp

Post by Chris Brown
18. (15) Heart - All I Want To Do Is Make Love To You

Didn't get the subtlety in the lyrics at 12, good story song

Post by Chris Brown
33. (58) Betty Boo - Doin' The Do

Briefly massive, faded quickly

Post by Chris Brown
39. (33) Emma - Give A Little Love Back To The World

Eurovulsion. Seem to recall she was only a kid and got a rough time off the
press.

Post by Chris Brown
48. (NE) Kym Mazelle - Useless (I Don't Need You Now)

Always thought she had slim picking for her talent

Post by Chris Brown
51. (NE) Wilson Phillips - Hold On

Decent summer hit. Can't remember anything else they did apart from
'release me' which was extremely similar

Post by Chris Brown
56. (84) Gloria Estefan - Cuts Both Ways

Definitely in the soppy ballad era for her

Post by Chris Brown
72. (54) The B-52s - Love Shack

Heavily associated with a trip to welsh camp earlier in the year

Post by Chris Brown
77. (50) Crystal Palace FC and the Fab Four - Glad All Over/ Where Eagles Fly

Cup final. Lost to ManU

Post by Chris Brown
78. (60) Shakin' Stevens - Yes I Do

Good god is he still going? I thought he packed up after that murderous
cover of 'feel the need in me'

Post by Chris Brown
89. (95) Happy Mondays - Madchester Rave On EP

Hung around the charts for a while in early 90s
