There's also dance, hip-hop, AOR, reggae, rock, country, Britpop and a novelty hit by a sci-fi character from the future. Yes, you escaped having
a 1990s chart last week so you're getting one now, albeit with a good few oldies and covers. I promise you the one I would have posted last week had an even worse Number One single.
The chart also includes a track produced by Andrew Waetherall who died earlier this year.
Playlists are here and I've done unexpectedly well finding the obscure

Chart date: 30th October 1993
1.-a-a (1) Meat Loaf I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)
Very ambivalent about this one.
8.-a-a (2) Take That ft Lulu Relight My Fire
A decent cover version, the vocal part she adds works really well.
65. (44) Go West Tracks Of My Tears
I'd forgotten this was released as Go West, for some reason I thought it
was Peter solo.
74. (47) Blur Sunday Sunday
Their wilderness period.
100.(79) Johnny Cash Ring Of Fire
Why was this around again?
Going to have this at my parents funeral this week (at their request!).
Also Michael Ball The Rose and Neil Sedaka the Hungry Years.-a That's why I've not been around much for a few weeks.

Chart date: 30th October 1993
If I've got my dates right this was the week all us supervisors at work
had a great week's stay courtesy of the taxpayer at a posh hotel in
County Durham.
We found out why the hotel was so cheap though - there
was an RAF site neaby and we had low flying fighter jets screaming
overhead at laest three or four times a day. I was convinced one was
going to crash into the hotel. At least it was peaceful on a night time
(the only noise then was of drunken civil servants!).
1.-a-a (1) Meat Loaf-a-a-a I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)
I didn't mind this the first handful of times I heard it but it
eventually annoyed me. And it's far too long.
2.-a-a (7) Cappella-a-a-a U Got 2 Let The Music
Back when Eurodance could chart with ease. Good dance track.
3.-a (NE) Bryan Adams-a-a-a Please Forgive Me
I didn't mind this one.
4.-a (10) Dina Carroll-a-a-a Don't Be A Stranger
And I thought this one was a lovely song.
5.-a-a (3) DJ Jazzy Jeff And The Fresh Prince-a-a-a Boom! Shake The Room
I suppose it was a bit of fun.
6.-a-a (4) Eternal-a-a-a Stay
Decent British R&B song.
7.-a (NE) Phil Collins-a-a-a Both Sides Of The Story
His big comeback single. It didn't hang around the charts for long though.
9.-a (27) Goodmen-a-a-a Give It Up
Second outing for this track. It would form the basis of 'Fairground' by Simply Red a couple of years later.
10.-a (8) The Prodigy-a-a-a One Love
One of their more forgotten songs and with good reason.
11.-a (5) M People-a-a-a Moving On Up
I did like this then but find Heather Small's voice irritating these days.
12. (12) Bjork with David Arnold-a-a-a Play Dead
Great quirky, song.
13.-a (6) Chaka Demus And Pliers-a-a-a She Don't Let Nobody
It's no 'Tease Me'.
14.-a (9) Haddaway-a-a-a Life
It's no 'What Is Love'.
15. (15) Lisa Stansfield-a-a-a So Natural
She really had become very bland by now.
16. (NE) Tina Turner-a-a-a Why Must We Wait Until Tonight?
A bit of innuendo there from Miss T.
17. (18) The Cat-a-a-a Tongue Tied
I had to look this one up. It seems it's a Red Dwarf song. Awful.
18. (24) Chris Rea-a-a-a Julia
Poor
19. (13) Frankie Goes To Hollywood-a-a-a Relax 1993
As if enough people didn't buy it first time around.
20. (25) Lena Fiagbe-a-a-a Gotta Get It Right
Another forgotten song that I quite liked back then. I know little of
heer but a Google check reveals she's still involved in the music
business and is active on twitter.
40. (NE) Sheep On Drugs-a-a-a From A To H And Back Again
A strange song that I own on a compilation CD given away as a covermount
in something like Select magazine.
41. (NE) Joey Lawrence-a-a-a Stay Forever
I recall him being in kids TV programme Blossom.
69. (NE) Edwin Starr And Shadow/Troggs And Wolf-a-a-a War/Wild Thing
A strange mix of a veteran soul singer and some of the characters from Galdiators (if I recall).
79. (NE) Mark Knopfler-a-a-a Going Home (Theme Of The Local Hero)
The track that is played at St James Park when Newcastle United run out
at the start of the match.
81. (NE) The Wildhearts-a-a-a Greetings From Shitsville
Bizarre title by an act who are fanatical Newcastle supporters.

Second outing for this track. It would form the basis of 'Fairground'

Though of course the drums are already a sample.
13.-a (6) Chaka Demus And Pliers-a-a-a She Don't Let Nobody
It's no 'Tease Me'.
It's no 'Twist And Shout' either.
79. (NE) Mark Knopfler-a-a-a Going Home (Theme Of The Local Hero)
The track that is played at St James Park when Newcastle United run
out at the start of the match.
Was it in an advert at this point? I presume there was a reason for the re-release.
81. (NE) The Wildhearts-a-a-a Greetings From Shitsville
Bizarre title by an act who are fanatical Newcastle supporters.
In the song itself they place "Shitsville" in NW3 which as you know
includes Hampstead and Belsize Park. House prices do not reflect this opinion.

A lovely sort of sad though.

I'd forgotten about that.

It could have been in an advert but I rarely watched TV back then.
Newcastle had just been promoted to the Premier League and were
attracting nationwide attention under Kevin Keegan's free flowing style
of football. I can't recall if 'Going Home' was being played at home
games at this point but if it was it could have been demand from
football fans that led to a re-release.

I've mentioned before I once lived in Belsize Park (and socialised in Hampstead). My recollections of NW3 don't match up with those of The Wildhearts...
