1997 is minstens even goed als 1996.
Nee, zonder zeveren, ik vind de laatste jaren van de 90s echt goed.
Alsof men de instant pophit forumule met overtuiging weet toe te passen.

Opmerkelijk lange nummer 1 noteringen, behalve in de UK.

Soms ben ik verrast met de nr.1-hits in GB (TORI AMOS, VERVE), ik vind daar meer mijn gading dan bij de hits in BE en NL.

Nogal een rukjaar. Dat nummer van White Town was ik alweer vergeten, maar wat een GEWELDIG nummer was dat eigenlijk!

Tsja, en dat U2-nummer heb ik nooit wat gevonden...

De Hitlist UK steelt weer met de show. Daar was het een goed hitjaar. Op het Europese vasteland was het armoe troef...


1. WHITE TOWN your woman 5*
2. BLUR beetlebum
3. VERVE the drugs won't work 4,5*
4. TORI AMOS professional widow 4*
5. OLIVE you're not alone
6. CHEMICAL BROTHERS block rockin' beats 3,5*
7. OASIS d'you know what i mean
8. U2 discotheque
9. SPICE GIRLS 2 become 1 3*
10. GALA freed from desire

WHITE TOWN your woman, dat was ik ten onrechte vergeten (inderdaad een prima nummer). De Britse hitlijsten vind ik al jaren een stuk beter dan de Nederlandse en vooral de Belgische.
