Enya's still Number One. sleepy

Flash forward to see what's the playout.

Donald Osmond! gasp

Playing out with Prince and a song I don't recognise, even though I know all his hits.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue Nov 26, 2019 8:49 pm

It seems to be OK.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue Nov 26, 2019 8:51 pm

That was an OK episode with highlights by Brian Ferry, Salt 'n' Pepa and Deacon Blue.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everyone else made of it. Excited

It doesn't go well for her.

Please expand.

I've skipped a couple, so it's Bruno Brooks and someone else.

V. 80s snare. Blue apples. HA HA. Vestigial tune. Strange skittery guitar.

I think they played the whole thing in the run out.

Prince was looking very gender neutral in that video, years before Sam Smith became a "they/their". box

Proppa adult contemporary. But what I'd do for some adult contemporary in the charts these days.

No comment about Yazz's outfit or gr8 dancing?!

More adult contemporary. Excited

I keep seeing that in the charts yet I still don't know what it is. It entered around the same time as "We Call It Acieed" and like that song the presenters have stopped announcing the title so I'm wondering if it's on the same controversial "theme".

"Donny, come back and perform for us if your song makes the charts".

It reached number 70. doh

by Butterfield Thu Nov 28, 2019 2:23 pm

Seeing as he was in the TOTP studio I'm guessing he recorded a performance of the song for future broadcast - only it'll never have been broadcast due to it failing to chart. shifty

by Butterfield Thu Nov 28, 2019 2:24 pm

And he never had another hit. Just think, if they'd have just broadcast that one performance it could have all been so different.

by Butterfield Thu Nov 28, 2019 2:28 pm

This photo will have been taken on his same trip to the UK.

Repeats of Top of the Pops on BBC Four. Part 7. - Page 26 9384886

Notice all the singles in the charts we're currently witnessing on TOTP 1988! Kylie, Yazz, Robin Beck, Gloria Estefan, Deacon Blue, D-Mob, Wee Papa Girl Rappers....

by Butterfield Thu Nov 28, 2019 2:30 pm

It looks like the chart from the last episode - behind the random bloke's head and to the left of Kylie should be Enya at number one.
