Those old songs

[frieza]

With Christmas coming up n' all, and with the new "popstars" running about all over the place, it's time to list what was number one in the charts every Christmas year, when Knightmare was on.

1987   Series 1    Always on my Mind (Pet Shop Boys)
1988   Series 2    Mistletoe and Wine (Cliff Richard)
1989   Series 3    Do they know it's... (Band Aid 2)
1990   Series 4    Saviour's Day (Cliff again!)
1991   Series 5    Bohemian Rhapsody (Queen)
1992   Series 6    I Will Always Love  You (Whitney H)
1993   Series 7    Babe (Take That)
1994   Series 8    Stay Another Day (East 17)

u dont have to remind us of the crap thats put out during this time of year,

You got one wrong. The 1993 Christmas number one was Mr Blobby by Mr Blobby.

Funny how out of those 8 songs, only 3 are Christmas songs, and only 3 are any good.

[GrandDizzy]

Also, since 1980 there have only been five Christmas number ones that were actually Christmas songs, and two of them were "Do They Know It's Christmas?"!

Ah Mr Blobby, I remember it well!! Why on earth I brought that single and helped it make Xmas number one, I will never know. Oh the shame!  

[GrimaldineGrimwold]

Ah Mr Blobby, I remember it well!! Why on earth I brought that single and helped it make Xmas number one, I will never know. Oh the shame!  

And we thought you had taste. Oh, the shame, indeed.

I don't actually mind the fact that some aren't Christmas songs. Personally I get fed up that they bring out the same old tatty songs every year around this time. Are they wheeling Cliff out for something awful again this year? I know he does everything in a good cause, but just, please, no.

I think I prefer the first one out of all these. Yeh, it's not a Christmas song, but in my view it's still darn good.

And we thought you had taste. Oh, the shame, indeed.

Cheers! It's so nice to have your sympathy!

[frieza]

Yep, you're right about Mr  Blobby being Number 1 in 1993- he actually held the post on 2 seperate occasions and I'd misread the singles page

shood release the knightmare theme music, that would be a sucsess.  8)

bad music always comes out this time of year (and most of the rest) but then whats wrong with being silly at xmas?  

i think Meat loaf shood geta move on with his new album and before the xmas number one.. its time that a great rocker took the crown, or the return of zztop  :D

the thing what that cliff dude his now lost his mind he doesnt know whats his doing or were he is.. but i dare say Ozzy osbourne is starting to go in that direction as well but come on his got an excuse  ;)

[Debz_g]

Okay this is getting a bit off topic since it has nowt to do with Knightmare...but Meatloaf's releasing a new album? :o

[GrimaldineGrimwold]

Cheers! It's so nice to have your sympathy!

You still have more sympathy (at least from me) than if you'd admitted buying Cliff's Mistletoe and Wine.

[Debz_g]

Yesssss!
I can safely say I never ever even considered buying that, but then again at least its marginally better than that god awful Millenium Prayer!  

[Purgatory]

yeah, they posted the art work for the cd a long time ago but ad far as i know no date has been set... (artworl looked crap) but not long now and the big man returns with his...9th album i believe, not includeing specaial hits and versions or the RHPS

[JamesA]

u dont have to remind us of the crap thats put out during this time of year,

Pet Shop Boys are not crap

Ok?
