This is a really great Enterprise set from the BBC. I actually prefer this set to the SNL Star Trek sketch set which was broadcast three years later.

One of the best songs ever written. I also love Neko Case’s cover

That Ophelia song by Taylor Swift is such an earworm. I’m now singing it in the car every time it comes on the radio

Not all it's cracked up to be

1997 to 2001 are the absolute wilderness years for pop music. It doesn’t massively improve until 2002

That is correct 👍

YouTube video by Andy Watson Ultrasound- Stay Young- The Chart Show- ITV 6th Jun 1998

The most disappointing thing about Top of the Pops in 1998 is that we didn’t get Ultrasound performing ‘Stay Young’ which hit number 30 in June of that year. Tiny from Ultrasound once told me that they were on standby in case any other of the artists had to pull out. #TOTP

YouTube is now awash with AI videos of bears with kids and cats

The greatest manufactured band who weren’t manufactured.
The album is almost a guilty pleasure but it’s let down by poor production and too many weak songs. Ed Buller or Stephen Street might’ve fixed this.
A much better version of what this album was trying to be is ‘Lux’ by Thurman.

Bizarrely championed by Terry Wogan at the time

I’m guessing ‘Dragostea Din Tei’ by O-Zone won’t be in this list and not one Girls Aloud song

It’s ridiculous to think that not one of the Super Furry Animals’ truly awesome pop singles made it into the top ten

As much as I love ‘Sunrise’ and ‘The Trees’ I think it was a mistake not to go with ‘Weeds’ as the lead single to ‘We Love Life’.

Every now and again I have to use google to find out who the current leader of the Conservative Party is. Apparently this week it’s Kemi Badenoch 🤷‍♂️

Both Rialto & Ultrasound should have been huge in 1998

POPAI

For a moment there I thought that was Richard Wilson
