Happy 25th! Hurrah for the ongoing pop career of #Lulu - #onthisdayinpop in 1999, she released her dancefloor filler #HurtMeSoBad . The Almighty mixes are still ferocious - brilliant dance the pain away groove (+ her original take on #IDontWannaFight on the 'flip' side). Win win
33 yrs ago we were on the eve of #KylieMinogue completing her Golden Quartet by releasing #Shocked (DNA mix) #onthisdayinpop in 1991. Adored this mix, complete with rap from #JazziP & more great remixes on the 12'. A PWL The Hit Factory classic Mike Stock

Happy 25th to #BackstreetBoys #Millenium album - a genuine pop moment which was released #onthisdayinpop in 1999. Great first single in #IWantItThatWay but for me #LargerThanLife remains the standout in an album full of bobby dazzlers. What is your fave?

Happy 25th to #Madonna 's pyschedelic #BeautifulStranger , released #onthisdayinpop in 1999. Part one of bridging the gap between albums, this was a playful romp that saw Madonna reunited wi/ #WilliamOrbit . Precursor to #Music or follow up to #RayOfLight

Happy 33rd to #PaulaAbdul 's #Spellbound album, a magical opus of songs that was conjured up #onthisdayinpop in 1991. So many great tracks that it is hard to choose a fave - but #ThePromiseOfANewDay is joyful pop optimism at its finest! What was yours?

Happy 30th to #Erasure 's first post-Hits LP. #iSayISayISay was released #onthisdayinpop in 1994. The album artwork was beautifully themed across the singles campaign; as exquisite as songs like #Always , #SoTheStoryGoes & #TakeMeBack . What were your faves?

Yay! Happy 25th to #Precious debut single (and UK #eurovision entry) #SayItAgain , released #onthisdayinpop in 1999. I was delighted to see it was written by #PaulVarney who I was (& still am) a huge fan of! This was a great pop bop with a chorus that still bangs all these yrs l8r
35 years ago today, #onthisdayinpop in 1989, Matt & Luke Goss took to the cover of #SmashHits magazine to tell us #Bros was now a duo! Quite the scandal actually. My mum declared she always thought it were just the two of them so weren't right bothered 🤣

Happy 30th to a 35 yr old song! #onthisdayinpop in 1994, #DeaconBlue rereleased #Dignity to promote their Greatest Hits opus - third time it was released making the top 20. My all time fave song by them, a masterpiece of piano driven pop.

Happy 33rd to the US release of #PetShopBoys Where The Streets Have No Name (I Can't Take My Eyes Off You), out there as a single in its own right #onthisdayinpop in 1991. Still love this audacious melange of disparate songs that now sounds so natural!

Good day for new girl groups 25 years ago ( #onthisdayinpop in 1999). As well as the launch of #Precious , we got #IQuit from #Hepburn - a song that was originally offered to Natalie Imbruglia! Ace #PhilThornally songwriting - can't beat rhyming LIAR with MESSIAH!!
She'd ruled Britannia for a year and now, 25 years ago ( #onthisdayinpop in 1999) #BilliePiper was ready to conquer the US. She was dubbed 'the British Britney' and her debut album was accompanied by media seduction (like this one from Billboard magazine).

Happy 35th to the UK release of #Waterfront 's #Cry - out here #onthisdayinpop in 1989. Was already scaling the US charts so this lush sophisticated pop gem could rightly be proclaimed a US smash hit! Loved the boxsets they issued -collected them all!

Happy 35th to #TommyPage 's #AZillionKisses single, released #onthisdayinpop in 1989. This is such a fun pop bop from his VG debut LP - and we got remixes by phil harding / @iancurnow. He was an exquisite balladeer but I adored the exuberance he bought to his dance gems.
30 years since #Shanice returned with her bop that bought 'da funk' - #Somewhere was released in the US #onthisdayinpop in 1994. I was all for this track, even though it wasn't released in the UK - it felt like summer in a bottle. #21WaysToGrow

You do the jitterbug! Happy 40th to the truly iconic song #WakeMeUpBeforeYouGoGo by #Wham , released #onthisdayinpop in 1984! The start of their #MakeItBig era was a rollicking slice of hand clap, happy pop with a chorus that won't quit four decades later!

40 years since #Bananarama released #RoughJustice , back #onthisdayinpop in 1984. The gorgeous melody of this song plays against darker lyrics than ever before- my first realisation the world wasn't all Kids From Fame & church picnics...
