So back in business properly after the weekend, apologies fans!
We're now up to August 1993, and Now 25.
Kicking us off is a track that doesn't really need an introduction.
Queen held a Freddie Mercury tribute concert in April 1992, and a year later this was released as a single.
It's not bad, probably close enough to the Queen version as it comes, not my favourite song by any means but I can get behind it and I do enjoy George Michael.
Solid middle of the pack.

One of those real definitive 90's one hit wonders, just one album, one real hit single, and this video has over 2 billions views all the same, which shows it's still getting play time now.
I like it, it's silly, but it's something you can belt out in karaoke with friends and have a blast, as evidenced in Brooklyn 99.

Another effort from Tina, quite solid, dance-pop, released as part of the soundtrack to her biographic movie, What's Love What Got to Do With It.
Angela Bassett plays Tina in the movie, anyway, it's decent.

I love Ace of Base for some reason, it's not my usual scene but their debut album (albums I suppose, there was 2 releases being reissued under a different name for US release).
Not quite Europop (Ace of Base being Swedish), but there's hints of it, blends of dance-pop stuff mostly I suppose.
Their second single and first real big hit, it holds up for sure.

The debut single by British pop/R&B Gabrielle, and I'd argue easily her best.
Straight to number 1 in the UK and still a 90's staple years later, reminds me of being indoors on wet weekends glued to Premier League Years on the telly.
Excellent.

This goes for a similar style but doesn't have the same hook I'm afraid.
Lena Fiagbe had a few pop/soul singles in the early 90's, this was the first of them, but her career never took off it seems.
Has only 760 monthly listeners on Spotify, and it's not doing much for me.

A house remix is what brought this back into the mainstream years later, having featured originally on Freddie's only solo album back in 1985.
Not a huge fan of his solo work I'm afraid.
A number one hit in Belgium though!

Another blast from the past brought into the 90's via a remix, this was a disco hit back in 1978 originally.
Still holds up and everyone clearly knows it.
Good stuff for sure.
