And so it begins - In at 10 from the depths of boom it's .... Outhere Brothers and BOOM BOOM BOOM. Not to be mixed up with jolly Dutch Eurodance group the Vengaboys' similarily sounding Boom Boom Boom Boom, this song has one less boom but twice the shame.
Notice also the absence in the video of the now mysteriously legendary third band member, known only as Number 23.
Did you know this song has the same chord progression as Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit?
At 9 - It's the jewel in the Dutch rock crown that is Golden Earing with RADAR LOVE. Watch out for the great eyebrow acting in this early video.
Did you know that the band earned their first number one hit in the Netherlands with the pop song Dong Dong Diki Diki Dong in 1968. Respect.
It's hotting up now and in at 8 it's JUMP by Kriss Kross (pronounced Chris Cross) and Kriss Kross'll certainly make ya appreciate the wiggidy - wiggidy - wack of JUMP. It seems that Daddy-Mac (the one on the left or was it the right) dressed them in a real rush this particular morning for the JUMP promo video shoot.
Did you know that In 1992, they released the Sega video game Make My Video which came 18th on Electronic Gaming Monthly's list of the "20 Worst Games of All Time".
At 7 - It's those metal gods Judas Priest with THE RIPPER. This particular live version seems to be a cover by some old fat men on their way to a leather Christmas tree convention.
Did you know that the band are named after Bob Dylan's song "The Ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest" from the John Wesley Harding LP.
At 6 - Yey it's Britney and BABY ONE MORE TIME - Nuff said.
Did you know Britney can often be found adorning the covers of several red tops and lifestyle magazines both here and abroad.
Now we're cooking with gas - in at 5 - Could you ever believe such a perfect surprise. Let's have a sing-a-long with those very mad and crazy and totally like mad t.A.T.u. girls with ALL THE THINGS SHE SAID.
Did you know their name is russian slang "for this girl loves that girl".
At 4 Supertramp with BREAKFAST IN AMERICA- Won't someone please give these poor mummy's boys some kippers....
In at 3 - We had to wait a while for the return of Take That .... and that took some PATIENCE (see what I did there) but now they're back for goodo.
Did you know that Jason Orange gained a perfectly respectful grade C (nowt bad about that mark) when he re-took his GCSE English in 2005.
At 2 it's Sir Mix A Lot - BABY GOT BACK. I have no defence, I have tried to resist but over the years this song has given me and my mates sooooo much enjoyment, mostly due to our hip-hoppety, jiggy dancing and attempts at gettin busy, spittin some bustin rapping sounds.... 1-4-3.
Did you know that BABY GOT BACK actually won a Grammy Award for best Rap Solo peformance in 1993.
Darius was born in Glasgow the son of Hystaspes. After leaving school Darius became Shah of Iran, he then divided the Persian Empire into twenty provinces and appointed governors for each. He studied philosophy at Edinburgh University where he introduced golden coins and developed trade and commerce within the Student Union and further the empire. Darius allowed the rebuilding of the Temple of Soloman in Jerusalem but more importantly also built many temples throughout Egypt. Darius was told in a dream that he would have many CDs of platinum and Colourblind helped achieve this. Darius to fulfill his destiny therefore entered Pop Idol where he would cover Britney's Baby One More Time. His name is an anagram of Radius literally signifying a straight line from centre to circumference.
So topping this chart at Number 1 and quite rightly, it's local lad made good Dariuswith COLOUR BLIND.
Did you know he is now engaged to Natasha Henstridge offa Species.

Man that Judas Priest Video is the best thing I've seen all year. It's only 11th January mind. Well let me weigh in. Mine are Silver Dream Machine by David Essex, Dirty by Christina Aguilera, and anything by Dean Friedman. It feels good to share.
