Weekly podcast with Juliet and Ed counting down the UK Top 40 Singles every week as it was 30 years ago! Taking an irreverent look at every new entry, bangers to clangers. https://linktr.ee/ChartLife
Hello! ChartLife is not a political podcast - obviously we hope that people of all sorts enjoy our love of 90s tunes. BUT regular listeners will be aware of us “dancing with bins on our heads” - so here is a picture of somebody doing just that, on this BIN DA- we mean Thursday… (#MakeTodayBinDay)
What better way to celebrate that we have a NEW EPISODE OUT TODAY! Do join us as we continue to be at the CUTTING EDGE OF 1996, wherever you get your podcasts!
Mr DaveDogFacedBoy@davedfb.bsky.social · 2d ago@chartlifepod.bsky.social @superjules84.bsky.social @edbiggs.bsky.social Am in the Mediatheque at BFI and watching The White Room from 2nd August 1996 Costello! Suede! Dodgy! Alisha's Attic! Weller! And during the ad break - Shine 5!
@chartlifepod.bsky.social Only explanation I can think of for the sudden outbreak of Barnacle Bill interpolation ((inter-po-lation)) at the end of Tara's Theme is that Mike Oldfield had a bit where he'd play it as fast as bastard possible in gigs, so maybe became an in-joke with library musicians?
@chartlifepod.bsky.social if you've got a spare three minutes, here's the most fun version of Goodnight by Babybird. #StandStillHugh youtu.be/6-gddTKuOmc

Just One More Thing... In return for Juliet placing 'Trash' behind 'Good Enough' I'm stealing Brett-as-Wayne-Slob for a future episode ;)
The B side to THAT Babybird song was a belter Unfortunately I can only hear Marc N Lards version these days "Remember that tank top I bought you? Yes you wrote "You're A Tosspot" on it" youtu.be/EXKPxoA1pgQ?...

A Relief that our good friends at excellent Suede podcast @litteronthebreeze.bsky.social approve of our approval of Trash!

Very much here for @chartlifepod.bsky.social calling their latest episode "Shine 5 On You Crazy Diamond". Signed, the person who made a playlist of B-sides to the tracks from Shine 5.
@chartlifepod.bsky.social still in its shrink wrap, all the way from UK to Canada for CDN$6.57 (I know, right!) to acknowledge how for almost one whole year, your podcast has helped me cope with midweek when the weeks were not always fun and I was feeling a bit bleak about life. Thanks loves
Thanks gang, if you have enjoyed our work and like irreverent chatter about 90s music in eye popping detail, then please do check out our podcast! #totp
Stuart Cable doing a full-on "Hello Mum" into the camera at the start of the song. Which is an excuse to mention that her name was Mabel Cable. #TotP
#totp You never see 2 Stereophonics songs in the same room at the same time.
“The Fantastic Stereophonics” look love it’s either one of those things or the other, not that convinced it’s both #totp
Oh god, A Teens - if Steps are somehow too edgy for you, here’s your Act #totp
One of the greatest remixes of all time! Slinky pop at its best #totp
Poor Another Level, perfectly competent but now looking like a first draft Blue #totp
Ocean Colour Scene! Yay! Dreary Era (Drera?) Ocean Colour Scene? Sadly considerably less yay #totp
This version of Sway is obviously total tat and yet Irresistable because it’s Sway #totp
La Isla Bonita photocopied really badly and then sent by fax #totp
HIS NAME IS STEREO MIKE! One of the all time great slacker anthems. Like Beck on mogadon #totp
Ah Mary and her Green Teeth, those were the days. Supergrass sweatin up a storm #totp
Big sympathy for Juliet’s Suggs shyness - I once walked alongside Billy Bragg for ten minutes on a demo without having the nerve to say hello
two men are doing push ups with the words " we 're not worthy " behind them
Alt: Garth and Wayne doing the “we’re not worthy” thing
