Listened to a bit of Sounds of the Sixties on Saturday with Johnny Walker filling in. He was all over the place getting things wrong, getting confused. It was quite chaotic. He and Tony may be in a race to the finish line.

Vogue was second on my ranking just behind The Beautiful South. Considering how much attention we gave Lauren Bacall as the last Survivor from Vogue it is no surprise that we have given it this accolade 70s, 80s & 90s all won by Female vocalists. Sandi Shaw is positively rubbing her hands in anticipation

I may not get to vote again I think there were 25 separate votes between my vote yesterday and today which is negative 50 points. There are only 47 points on the board.

3rd May 31 White Town – Your Woman -6 20 Madonna – Vogue +4

I don't dislike it but I would have expected it to have more of an impact if it truly is the best No.1 single of the 90s

Before this game I had never heard Your Woman!!

Harry Belafonte is the first hit here for someone who was not a new entry in this year's list

I have found the perfect office chairs for us to use while compiling our 2024 Shadow Lists

#20 on my list 17th here The Shamen were at #4 on my list, the highest faller so far Half of my bottom 10 are gone and four from my top 10 but none of the five in the middle!

Naughty, Naughty, Very Naughty

Very much maligned and misunderstood

There was a joke at the time What five words do Americans fear most? "Barbara, I don't feel well"

I remember it being an issue when George H W Bush was President as he had a bout of ill health and everyone was concerned that Dan Quayle might become president. We then had six terms where the President was a relatively young man. I think Biden will survive until 2029.

Position 21 in my rankings came 19th here

I couldn't be bothered so didn't include it

According to Kamala Harris' twitter feed she is still on the ticket One of the suggestions behind the 2016 result was that African-Americans did not come out to vote for a Hillary/Tim ticket Kamala is there for a reason. She has not made much of an impact in the two years since Biden took office but I think if re-elected she will be much more prominent with her eye on 2028
