1989, the year we couldn't avoid Jason Donovan, Milli Vanilli were the greatest mime artists since Marcel Marceau and Jive Bunny made us turn off our radios and televisions.

Here's my top 40 singles of 1989 with commentary, YouTube & Spotify playlists:

40 Best Singles of 1989
The closing year of the best decade in music was a mish-mash of evolving music genres, soap stars trying to have pop careers and hints at the brilliance to come in the 90s. Madonna and Michael Jackson were still dominating things but Guns 'n Roses and R.E.M. were waiting in the wings.

Inspired by places in Tyne & Wear, County Durham and North Yorkshire, I'll be releasing a collection of classical pieces later this year.

I wonder if Meat Loaf ever considered calling his son Malt Loaf?

Guess the song from the lyric clue:

Make contact with myself.
In what way is this possible?
Accept my truth.

Three alternative covers for my new novella. (Leaning towards the sunset version)

It's a comedy set in the Newcastle shipyards in the 1920s, a kind of Auf Wiedersehen Pet in book form.

I wrote 'A Weekend With the ZX Spectrum' as a pet project last year and it's outsold everything else I've got out in paperback and Kindle. Just goes to show, you don't know what people are going to like so just write what you know.

I have a feeling my Spotify wrapped is going to be the same as the last six years... I really need to listen to something other than Gary Numan

It's that time of year again... when someone in the office suggests you do Secret Santa and you wish you still worked from home. Here's my Scroogily take on it all...

I've been listening to every single pop record that ever reached the top 40 and deciding (entirely objectively) which were the best to do so in each year.

Starting at 1973 (why wouldn't you?) I'm currently up to 1989. Here is the archive : peternuttall.net/wp/singles/

I only had 32 followers on Twitter anyway (and I'm pretty sure 15 of those were fake) so here goes Bluesky
