20:40 this album is very arty-eighties isn't it - 's nice, I hadn't really rated them before ♫ blip.fm/~1y9p1 #
20:53 loads more lovely cover versions at www.buffetlibredjs.net/ (tip via poptimists) ♫ blip.fm/~1y9yy #
21:02 finally making good on perennial threat of Jean-Michel Jarre-ism (radio leak cuts off; version on album not gua... ♫ blip.fm/~1ya6z #
21:13 speaking of, then, let's have some 1970s space opera ♫ blip.fm/~1yaf0 #
00:42 logging this list: US #1s of 1995 ♫ blip.fm/~1ye7y #
00:47 my favorite Madge ballad - the pentatonic bit sounds like Teresa Teng, really ♫ blip.fm/~1yeam #
00:52 suspect I haven't heard the original version of this within the current decade (remix?) ♫ blip.fm/~1yeco #
00:55 Johnny Depp and Paco de Lucia... I think I first heard this during the Oscar ceremony that year ♫ blip.fm/~1yeeg #
01:01 ahaha okay I never even knew what this song was called or whom it was by ♫ blip.fm/~1yeh3 #
01:06 surprised this only topped the charts for one week ♫ blip.fm/~1yej0 #
01:14 first song to debut at #1 on Billboard Hot 100 (sez Wikipedia); surefire bane of karaoke parlours ♫ blip.fm/~1yen9 #
01:20 actually, of the lot tonight this is the one I like best ♫ blip.fm/~1yepo #
01:30 the melisma here a pure, bubbly, girlish, airbound joy; Mariah's real strength, ill-served by many of her hits ♫ blip.fm/~1yeu2 #
01:34 doing this because '94-'95 was the start of my memories of chart hits (not this, though - never heard it before) ♫ blip.fm/~1yevn #
01:39 90's R&B has, like, no production compared to 00's R&B - there's literally nothing happening but the voices ♫ blip.fm/~1yext #
01:41 anyhow, apologies for the surfeit of sappy balladry for completism's sake (now turning our attention to Canadia... ♫ blip.fm/~1yeyk #
01:50 oh lord I /do/ know this song... didn't know it had been a Canadian #1 (UK charts normally an alien universe) ♫ blip.fm/~1yf1q #
01:52 can't take this much longer, refuse to countenance Hootie and the Blowfish, so will end on Alanis (whom I actua... ♫ blip.fm/~1yf2w #
02:02 one of the few I like from '96 - actually, I bet the Quebec charts were not as dire as teh anglos (or I could b... ♫ blip.fm/~1yf71 #
02:15 like, how could Céline have been #1 for seven weeks with this in the UK but not here? I've never even /heard/ ... ♫ blip.fm/~1yfc6 #
02:30 briefly considered doing UK #1s of 1995 but looking at the list... I'll pass XD ♫ blip.fm/~1yfhi #
