I've made compilations of the end of year Australian music sales charts. Well, where possible. My music collection is seriously lacking stuff from 1994-1996 for some reason. Anyway, I put the songs together in a countdown style, i.e. #50 to #1. (1997 is the first year of an annual Top 100 being printed) It splits across three CD's, #50-#34, #33-#18, #17-#1. So far, so good.

Sometimes you get two songs that don't really go well together. But nothing too jarringly bad. With one exception. 1992. See if you can spot the problem with this track listing:

Remember, the CD plays as a countdown, so #17 is track 1, #16 is track 2, etc.

17 - Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You
16 - Girlfriend - Take It From Me (Aus track)
15 - Snap - Rhythm Is A Dancer
14 - Julian Lennon - Saltwater
13 - Ugly Kid Joe - Everything About You
12 = Kris Kross - Jump
11 - Vanessa Williams - Save The Best For Last
10 - Richard Marx - Hazard
9 - Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under The Bridge
8 - Wendy Matthews - The Day You Went Away (Aust)
7 - KWS - Please Don't Go
6 - Luther Vandross And Janet Jackson - The Best Things In Life Are Free
5 - Jose Carreras And Sarah Brightham - Amigos Para Simpre
4 - Mr. Big - To Be With You
3 - Boyz II Men - End Of The Road
2 - Guns N' Roses - November Rain
1 - Billy Ray Cyrus - Achey Breaky Heart

Can you see how playing back those songs in that exact order might sound a bit .... well .... stupid?

 

Perhaps in that order there are some clashes, but normally minor adjustments will smooth those out

 

The Cramps - Hard Workin' Man
Prince - The Morning Papers
Lou Reed - Dreamin
Chic - Jusagroove
Bruce Springsteen - Better Days
The Cure - High
Michelle Shocked - 33 rpm Soul
The Black Crowes - Sting Me
B52s - Good Stuff
Garth Brooks - Dixie Chicken
Peter Gabriel - Steam
Neil Young - Harvest Moon
Bob Dylan - Tomorrow Night
