(1) ATB – 9 p.m. (Till I Come) (and credits)
Here with the first of two weeks at number one.
Quite a Top 10 heavy show this week, with only two songs outside the Top 10 played, of which The Three Amigos rendition of Louie Louie stood out as the highlight of the show.
ReplyDeleteI remember the Fat boys rendition of Louie Louise in 1988 which peaked just outside the Top 40 and was their last single release in the UK, with the video I had on a VHS compilation, but this new 1999 version by The Three Amigos was just brilliant, and lit up the whole show, especially the Dr Who style fancy dress the sexy girls backing dancers giving the performance an extra lift. Good Lord!
Getting fed up of Gail Porter's wailing in between the songs on two consecutive shows. Where's Jayne Middelemiss?
