They really disliked young Tiffany.

Her, The Color of Money, T'Pau, and Heathrow's Terminal 4. I have lots of questions

[Dr. Zoidberg]

Heart And Soul by T'Pau is great.

The Color of Money was pretty good.

Seeing that every ad break would have sucked.

And Wet Wet Wet is always strange to see how big they were in the UK and they never caught on here. Take That at least had the one song that was a big hit here. But Robbie Williams never came close to his European fame here. I thought he would because he had some good songs and is funny in interviews. I guess because teen pop was big when they finally tried to get him popular in the US and he was in his 30s.

[Dr. Zoidberg]

Wet Wet Wet had a few hits in Australia, with one massive one. They were OK.

Take That weren't that big in Australia until Back For Good. East 17 were bigger.

Why is Hard Fi back on the charts? Just the 20th anniversary?

[Dr. Zoidberg]

Why is Hard Fi back on the charts? Just the 20th anniversary?

Yep. 20th anniversary vinyl and CD release.





Half the album charts are old LPs and greatest hits. And most of the rest is female pop.

They are all pretty good charts, with the 80s and 90s being the best.

I'm guessing the Phil Collins song in 85 is probably Sussudio, Don't Lose My Number or Take Me Home.

So popular music sucked ass this week in 2005 hey?

There's a few listenable in there, so indeed better than 2005. Not even Taylor Swift could make 2015 worse than 2005 though.
