En een virtuele draai om de oren voor iederen die Purple Rain wegstemt!

wendyvortex Is er een site waar je die scans van de gedrukte Top 40's kunt terugvinden? Ik word er blij van!

Ik hoor sowieso niet tot de mensen die jubelen dat dit allemaal zo mooi is (Cock Robin, Womack & Womack, serieus...?), maar Purple Rain is toch wel met afstand de grootste draak van allemaal.

Mee eens
Nooit wat aangevonden ,ik ben sowieso geen Prince liefhebber, maar los daarvan is Purple Rain wel een heel vervelend werkje

Falco en Frankie (soort van Sjors en Sjimmie) krijgen veel te veel tegenstemmen

Ik hoop dat m'n nummer 1 niet al voor de finale uitgeschakeld wordt
