W.B. The Collector'south Collector

At present of those two weeks, what I may've heard . . .
W.B. The Collector's Collector

You may've noticed, I have a different organization for counting Top 50's in weeks where songs' runs are non-consecutive, if you've seen whilst larking about the '60's #one'south thread.
I accept noticed.
I but get with what is officially numbered....so Mr Blobby is merely counted in one case. There'll exist more like this subsequently.
A Euro masterpiece if there ever was one.
I yet periodically play this album although it's somewhat dated in that early 90s manner. Along with its first two hit singles started what must've been dozens and dozens of imitations.
That's great, information technology's right up my aisle equally far equally synth-pop goes. Thanks for posting!
The UK occasionally(!) gives us a really naff Christmas and/or New Twelvemonth number one. We excelled ourselves here.....
Non a archetype year for number ones, so

Let me say insofar equally "Twist And Shout," it's ever been The Beatles' for me. Just as for what I was hearing on the radio in those days . . .
Chaka Demus And Pliers Featuring Jack Radics And Taxi Gang - Twist And Shout
They certainly made the song their ain, it'due south OK and most chiefly, it knocked Mr. Blobby off the top spot!
