Happy 60th anniversary to my still-ridiculously in love parents, married 18th August 1962! Just #TwoYoungKids who've had a life of adventures together.

A song so nice they released it twice! 35 yrs ago today, #HaloJames' first single #Wanted also became their final single when it was re-released #onthisdayinpop in 1990. Hadn't stopped loving this gorgeous ballad since the first time I bought it - loved the new picture sleeve!

35th anniversary of #WetWetWet's #StayWithMeHeartache, released #onthisdayinpop in 1990. Remember this had the Beatles #IFeelFine on the flip, so they must've been disappointed it peaked at 30 as last time they covered the Beatles they hit no.1!.

One of my fave #stockaitkenwaterman slowies, alongside #LoveTruthAndHonesty and #IllStillbeLovingYou. What are your fave down tempo S/A/W moments (not cover versions - that's a diff thread)!.@mikestockmusic .

35th anniversary of the very lovely #BeyondYourWildestDreams single by #LonnieGordon, released #onthisdayinpop in 1990. It had been 7 months since her breakout smash, #HappeningAllOverAgain, so perhaps a bit of momentum was lost - shame, this is classic @PWLHitFactory composition

35 yrs ago, #onthisdayinpop in 1990, us Brits were playing catch up with #Roxette so following the success of #ItMustveBeenLove, we got #ListenWithYourHeart (originally peaked outside top 40) reissued with a #Dangerous flip side. Straight into the top 10!.

44 yrs ago, #onthisdayinpop in 1981, my mum was on a new music purchasing spree to keep us kids entertained for the 6 weeks holiday. Alongside #DebbieHarry & #BucksFizz, she nabbed a bargain from Boots, #KimWilde's debut LP! I was a kid in America. in Sutton Coldfield😃

44th (!) anniversary of #BucksFizz debut album, released #onthisdayinpop in 1981. One of the first albums I ever owned - my mum bought it me at the start of the summer holidays!! Loved it (still do)! So many great songs!! @TheFizzCMJ @cherylbaker .

RT @MIKE_STOCK_HQ: Here's a question for you. Of all the SAW singles that missed the Top 40, which one to you hit the hardest? The one you….

Thank Blondie for my mum's love of pop - it meant that 44 yrs ago (!), #onthisdayinpop in 1981, she bought #DebbieHarry's #KooKoo album on the day it was released. It wasn't parallel to Parallel Lines in what I was expecting, but I felt oddly cool and sophisticated for owning it!

Damn! I really enjoyed #SophieBHawkins debut single so was very ready for her next odyssey - #CaliforniaHereICome was released in the US #onthisdayinpop in 1992. It felt like a spiritual call to arms - a way to escape the every day into a new adventure!.

33 yrs ago, #onthisdayinpop in 1992, I already knew what the obsession was about - thx to #IndecentObsession supporting #KylieMinogue back in 1990! I stayed loyal to the photogenic lads so was eager to get their 1st single #Indio (a first peek into their 2nd LP of the same name)!

3 very different singles released 33 yrs ago, #onthisdayinpop in 1992. First up, the return of #BettyBoo with the lilting summer charms of #LetMeTakeYouThere. Was a lovely relaxed chilling-at-the-beach type song (with the far sassier Jet Sex on the flip). Top ten in my heart!!

Summer playlist started in earnest #onthisdayinpop in 1993 when #MariahCarey released #Dreamlover. The 1st single from #MusicBox was like a songbird heralding the dawn of a new, balmy day; a sample laden hook rose like the sun to be yet another US no.1!.

Quick #missionoflove back to #onthisdayinpop in 1993 when Polydor finally remembered they had a #JasonDonovan album to put out - &, 9 months after his last single, released the outstanding #NikKershaw penned #AllAroundTheWorld. Chart positions be damned, this was brilliant pop!

Looking back through #SmashHits magazine from #onthisdayinpop in 1989; I remember I was very taken with this poster of ace duo #Waterfront. I'd been a fan for a little while and was delighted that their song #Cry had finally made the UK top 20 after a slow burn climb up the chart

Popping on a year from the art created by #TransvisionVamp in 1988 & we find them in a #LandslideofLove back #onthisdayinpop in 1989. Wendy performs the devastating lyrics w/ emotional clarity whilst the band give great instrumental with knock out effect.

Crikey o'riley - another hit for Kylie. Fast forward a year from her releasing #Locomotion in UK (her 3rd no.2 hit in a row) & we find ourselves #onthisdayinpop in 1989 when Ms Minogue had just released #WouldntChangeAThing. It became her 7th consecutive top 2 UK smash! Amazing

Did you have #feelingsofforever for #Tiffany back #onthisdayinpop in 1988? It was so bizarre that after 3 top ten hits on both sides of the Atlantic, this fourth single (and rather lovely ballad) stalled outside the top 40. Despite some new b-sides, the song was not a smash! BAH.

let's look at some #popart from #onthisdayinpop in 1988. #TransvisionVamp had stormed into the top ten, delivering anarchic energy with the incessently catchy & brilliantly demanding #IWantYourLove. This was my first exposure to "the vamp" and I was instantly addicted/smitten!!

Lets #stepbackintime to #onthisdayinpop in 1988 when #KylieMinogue had just released #Locomotion in the UK (in its new #StockAitkenWaterman production)! Debuted and peaked at no.2 here (4 weeks residency, held off the top spot by #Yazz)! All aboard!.
