1999 is op hitparadevlak het spannendste jaar van de 90s.
Althans, zo denk ik erover ... en dit keer weerspiegelt het zich
ook wonderwel in de gevarieerde lijst nummer één hits.

In de UK bijna wekelijks een nieuwe nummer 1 hit.
Maar geef toe dat er keuze zat is in 1999.

Ik merk dat ik het telkens grondig met je oneens ben: ik vind dit weer zo'n flutlijst waaruit het moeilijk kiezen valt. Spannend? Nou nee. Het was weer een drama om er 18 uit te persen.

Ik blijf in herhaling vallen, maar het zijn weer de Britse hitlijsten die de betere nummers leveren. In de Belgische hitlijsten daarentegen kwam de ergste rotzooi voor wat ik in mijn leven heb gehoord. En al die mierzoete boysbands en Spice Girls-klonen begonnen ook mijn oren uit te komen. Deze 18 geselecteerde nummers vind ik wel goed tot uitstekend (er was gelukkig veel keuze).

9 platen die ik redelijk goed vind. (Shanks & BF vind ik zelfs geweldig!)

Maar in tegenstelling tot Dazzler's mening vind ik dit jaar toch heel wat minder dan 2000.
