[Deleted member 3416]

What do you all think is the song we will lose before the top 10 is here? Only one elimination to go til then!!

Any clues?

Any clues?

10 x 6!

How come no-one is mentioning that Bangles song? I don't like how it is silently creeping to the top.

Is it your pick to miss the top 10 or do you expect something else to?

Do you know any other songs by them? Atomic Kitten covers this classic by them!






I know which I prefer.....

Of course! I was obsessed with Walk Like An Egyptian when I was a little boy, it was featured on one of my parents compilation albums from the 80s.

But Manic Monday is this standard nostalgic radio song they play over and over and over.

@ohnoitisnathan - How did Wilson Phillips' 10 million debut album fare on our shores? Who would be the best selling from the girl bands we have on the list in Australia would you say?

 

[SuperNerd]

Not me catching up with this thread to find my two 11 contenders being unceremoniously dumped just before the top 10.

Wilson Phillips is made up of the daughters of some members of The Mamas & The Papas – Carnie & Wendy Wilson are Brian Wilson’s daughters and Chynna Phillips is the daughter of John & Michelle Phillips

​

Brian Wilson is from The Beach Boys.

And I loved the Wilson sisters as duo with their father:



Brian Wilson was such a genius in his active days (and probably a very ill man).

I despair at this elimination.

Wilson Phillips give us hope, harmonies and vocal talent and they’re beaten by some seventies novelty act and a pair of shouty girls pretending to be lesbian as a publicity gimmick?

I suppose I should just be grateful that the remaining sixties songs are still here. Let’s hope they all make it to the top ten.

Brian Wilson is from The Beach Boys.

.... but! Teaching misinformation is my special talent!!!

Lol, thanks for noticing, will fix shortly xx

*high five* We can do this!

 

[unnameable]

I'm hoping the Bangles make that top 3 finish.

Speaking of Atomic Kitten doing songs by Susannah Hoffs, I love that after the Atomic Kitten version of "Eternal Flame" did so well, Susannah reunited with Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly to bring us this....

Can we please eliminate Salt n Pepa now? I honestly didn't think they would be Top 10 going into this, I'm surprised at how long they've lasted. Also The Emotions need to go before the Top 10.

 

[iheartpoptarts]

Iheartpoptarts (2) hasn’t grown to love this anymore since the last time, and may I say, a very controversial opinion will come up #soon!

I've decided this means Baccara is done for.

You have genuinely terrible taste.

I may not agree with him but I love his taste.

I actually like WP 'Hold On' enough that I purchased the 7" back in the mists of time, but the bloody awful radio station chosen at work must play it once a day and I'm now thoroughly sick of it.
