safcforme 11th Dec 2020		CD Single Everton Football Club - All Together Now (1995)	Review Looking at this from a purely impartial "single that charted so I have it" point of view, this is pretty standard fare stuff. A 'cover' of the Farm's - 'All together now' who are also from Liverpool and using Sherlock like deduction I presume are Everton fans, I'm guessing they were pretty pleased that this made a respectable No 24 in the top 40 and even more pleased that they beat Man U 1-0 in the final to lift the cup! Not the worst footy song ever (see my team's efforts for that accolade). Part of a tradition that no longer exists (thank God) that FA cup finalists release a single to commemorate the achievement. 6 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
safcforme 3rd Dec 2020		CD Single Europe - The Final Countdown 2000 (Edit) (1999)	Review An example of how musical tastes change in a relatively short space of time. On it's original release in December '86 it was a number 1. Barely much more than 10 years later it was the lowest new entry to the top 40 at number 36 which was also it's peak position. Mainly considered 'cheesy' and a feeling of cashing in on the 'millennium thing', it suffered badly chart wise. Unfair? I think so, since there were a few other songs at the time without a number one pedigree that did exactly the same but fared better in the charts. 7 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
safcforme 3rd Nov 2019		CD Single Bobby Brown - Two Can Play That Game (K Klassic Radio Mix) (1994)	Review By far his best release to date and a single that saw a return to the UK top 10 for Mr Brown, unfortunately it was his last too! These K Klass remixes were absolute floorfillers when played at discos and it's not hard to understand why. It was a quick drop back into chart oblivion after this. 6 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
safcforme 31st Oct 2019		CD Single Garth Brooks - Standing Outside The Fire (1993)	Review The second of three UK top 40 singles 'Standing Outside The Fire' was slap in the middle of Garth Brooks year long UK chart success story. Not an unpleasant tune but something for fans only I'm thinking hence it's lowly No 28 chart position 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
safcforme 30th Oct 2019		CD Single Alicia Bridges - I Love The Nightlife (Disco 'Round) (Real Rapino 7" Mix) (1994)	Review The original 7" release of this was a minor UK top 40 hit in 1978 (No32) and came at the tail end of the disco boom. A catchy, radio friendly tune, it's surprising then that given the huge success of the movie 'The adventures of Pricilla queen of the desert' (the soundtrack from which this is taken), that this release didn't make the top 40 at all!, peaking at No 61 on the w/e 8th of October 1994 6 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
safcforme 9th Oct 2019		CD Single Michael Bolton - Steel Bars (1991)	Review Steel bars is the last track on the album 'Time, love & tenderness' released on the 23rd of April 1991 in the UK. The cd single was released in February 1992 topping out at No 17 on the week ending 22nd Feb 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
safcforme 8th Oct 2019		CD Single Andrea Bocelli - Canto Della Terra (Radio Version) (1999)	Review Following in the footsteps of Pavaroti, Andrea Bocelli 'scores' a UK top 40 hit thanks to footy. Canto Della Terra originally charted in 1999 reaching a peak of No 25 on the week ending 25th of September. It subsequently re-entered the top 40 when Euro 2000 coverage started and bettered it's original chart position by one place peaking at No 24 on the week ending 1st of July 2000 7 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
safcforme 12th Mar 2018		CD Single Crush - Jellyhead (1996)	Review The Motive8 remix on this was a 'dancefloor filler' in the day locally (Sunderland). I seem to remember some question over the truthfulness of sales at the time and consequently it bombed chartwise. 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
