The Charts - Week Ending 24th January 1987
10 Real Wild Child - Iggy Pop Despite the excesses, the scratches, the indecent exposure and the long association with Bowie, this was the acrobatic eyeballer's first Blighty hit. And it wasn't really Lust For Life, all told.
9 It Didn't Matter - Style Council With the Jam-mad sceptics converted, the only way was down for Paul and his endless supply of Wrigley's.
8 Hymn To Her - Pretenders La Hynde takes a break from encouraging veggies to napalm their local burger joint to croon out a mid-tempo tearduct loosener, in which she offered to "dress as your daughter", bizarrely. Lord knows what Jim made of that.
7 Surrender - Swing Out Sister Red-lipped, black-gloved toothy pop delight from Corinne and those blokes, complete with hearty giggle after one and a half seconds.
6 Big Fun - Gap Band Funked-up, seminal piece of Tulsa twisting from the Wilson siblings, with the necessity to sit on the parquet and pretend to be an oarsman now a dim
and distant.
5 No More The Fool - Elkie Brooks Hugely surprising smash for the MOR hoarsebox, though the song was strengthened by a dramatic intro, the like of which is usually reserved for movies and utilised in the seconds before someone gets brutally macheted.
4 C'est La Vie - Robbie Nevil "That's just the way it goes - that's life!"
3 Is This Love - Alison Moyet Southend United's most famous fan bulks up on milkshakes again to screech an expert pop song, though the ability to misconstrue 'they never would have taken me as viciously as this' remains too damned tempting to this day.
2 Reet Petite - Jackie Wilson Took two years after his death to release it as a tribute, but this rumpalong brasso ditty, complete with Morph like animation video, remains absolutely unhateable, if sometimes mildly irritating.
BRITAIN'S NUMBER ONE Jack Your Body - Steve 'Silk' Hurley Oh, the stories which came from this 'first ever house chart topper', natch.
Hurley's complete absence from promotio

BRITAIN'S NUMBER ONE Jack Your Body - Steve 'Silk' Hurley Oh, the stories which came from this 'first ever house chart topper', natch.
Hurley's complete absence from promotional activity even made lead story on John Craven's Newsround, for pity's sake. Smash Hits had the nerve to print the lyrics, so the 'j' and hyphen keys were begging for resuscitation by the time the copywriter had finished the job. They even turned the opening bassline gambit into lyrics - 'bom bom, bom-ba-dom bom bom...' etc, a practice which only served to confuse even more. Video featured lots of pre-talkies, jumpcutted black and white 'comedy' clips which just added to the confusion. "That's not singing, that's just talking!" - Fathers everywhere.

Just by the names they sound as shitty as the US top 10 charts. Worse...That would be a good arguement.

What went wrong in the world of music? What caused this massive influx of shit? We may never know...But if you do, feel free to enlighten us all so we can put a stop to it.

there's no influx, its always been there. its just when you're old (like flea) you tend to be more nostalgic and see old music as good even though its no better. although having said that, are britney & christina going to be as close to my heart as tiffany & debbie gibson? err... perhaps not.
