Phil Collins - Everyday

Link

Phil's got some bangers, this one's only ok for me though, the second single off his Both Sides album.

Still a lot better than some of the other stuff I've heard over the last few days.

Dina Carroll - The Perfect Year (Radio Edit)

Link

Some real misses lately for me, just a type of song I can't get into, her second entry here, the follow up to Don't Be A Stranger, and neither breaks my top 800 so far.

Not my thing.

Enigma - Return to Innocence

Link

Enigma's second entry here, real 90's new-age/worldbeat music yet again, really 90's.

I like it though, this is the first single off the German groups second album, something weirdly atmospheric in there, the chanting is interesting also and well worth digging into if you're the time.

Eternal - Save Our Love

Link

Eternal's second single, the follow up to their debut Stay, and I just have never been able to get into them, despite being relatively keen on a lot of pop groups of this era.

Soul-pop/R&B, but not blowing me away.

M People - Moving on Up

Link

The follow up single to One Night in Heaven and the real big from M People.

A real 90's dance-pop staple again and one that I definitely feel holds up even today.

A good time all round and earns itself a spot just inside my top 100.

East 17 - It's Alright (The Guvnor Mix)

Link

The 6th and final single off East 17's debut album, being labelled under 2 version, the Guvnor mix and the Ballad mix.

The Guvnor Mix was chosen here (presumably as the shorter of the 2 it's more suitable as a single...).

Described itself as a ballad at the start followed on by techno afterwards, which is spot on.

Definitely the weakest of their 4 tracks here so far, but still not a bad time.

D:Ream - Things Can Only Get Better (D:Reamix Edit)

Link

A real staple of mid-90's dance pop and the second big hit from D:Ream.

This version is generally the main version, the big pop hit so to speak, and I think it really holds up well.

Nostalgia at its finest, very good.

Chaka Demus & Pliers with Jack Radics & Taxi Gang - Twist & Shout

Link

One of many many many covers of Twist incase it wasn't obvious.

A fun time as usual though, this time being a reggae fusion take on the classic, the follow up single to She Don't Let Nobody, and generally the last big hit they had.

Holds up for me anyway.

Ace of Base - The Sign (Radio Edit)

Link

And now we're up to NOW 27, and March 1994.

Picking up where we left off in 1993 though with some Ace of Base, the follow up to All That She Wants and the albums title track.

Another big hitter I love, both are basically on a par for me, so finds its way straight into the top 50.

Not sure what the Radio Edit difference is really, both seem the same to me...

Janet Jackson - That's the Way Love Goes

Link

Only a second Janet Jackson entry, a solid R&B entry, though not my favourite of hers by any means.

This was the debut single off her 5th album Janet or janet., however you want to take it, she ended up releasing 9 singles alone off this album, getting her mileage in.

More of a light R&B than the usual funk based stuff I love from her 80's output, but like I said, still solid.

Lenny Kravitz - Heaven Help

A different style from Kravitz of his album, Are You Gonna Go My Way, the third single off it and it's more a soul pop effort than anything else, I've heard this before but honestly forgot about it.

Soul II Soul - Wish

Link

This is the 3rd entry from Soul II Soul, it's ok, nowhere near the earlier hits like Back to Life and the whole of Club Classic Vol. 1 in general, this being released on Vol. 3 to the best of my knowledge.

I don't mind it, but not one I'll be coming to too often.

Lena Fiagbe - Gotta Get It Right

Link

Lena Fiagbe's second entry, her follow up single to her debut You Come From Earth.

This is probably her biggest hit, and definitely the best one I've heard also, solid pop/soul and much better than her debut single which I didn't like at all.

Gabrielle - Going Nowhere

Link

The reasonably successful follow up single to Gabrielle's smash hit, Dreams.

Good soul pop, but obviously not as good as Dreams, I can dig it for sure though.

Take That - Pray

Another boyband pop hit that I really like, Take That's second entry here and second one to crack the top 100.

This was the second single off their second album and it's just another fun time.
