8:04pm: “Do You Love Me” by Mademoiselle

Apparently, this song was huge in the summer of 2001/02. When I heard this song out of the blue in June 2021, I tried searching for it on iTunes and Spotify for little success.

It’s a shame that there’s a lot of great music that recent (early 00s) that still isn’t on iTunes or Spotify, even though iTunes became available in Australia in 2005.

Brooke McClymont’s “I Can’t Wait” is another great tune from that era that isn’t on iTunes either.

In 2020 I heard soulDecision’s “Faded” (another big hit in Australia in the summer of 2000-01) on SWR 999 twice and I also had little success finding it on iTunes.

Heard The Lord’s Prayer by Sister Janet Mead in passing on 4CRB this morning. One of the first ‘Christian rock’ songs.

Charted number 3 in Australia and then was released in US where it went to number 4.

According to Wikipedia " it is the only Top 10 hit with words attributed to Jesus Christ." as the entire lyrical content originated from the words of the Bible.

Stop Your Fussin’- Toni Childs

Another one of those songs that got regular airplay in the 90s, but is seldom heard now for whatever reason. It’s not too long to play either (unlike ‘I’ve Got To Go Now’, though that was also played regularly BITD).

Played at 6:30pm tonight on the Nova Network: “All Seats Taken” by Bec Cartwright.

Many people may forget that Bec Cartwright (who later became Lleyton Hewitt’s wife) had a brief singing career; there is one other song I remembers of hers titled “A Matter of Time” (released in 2003).

This came at a time when some actresses embarked on singing careers, most notably Holly Valance and Delta Goodrem.

It wasn’t uncommon for the Neighbours actresses to embark on singing careers or at least attemp one after the success Kylie got in the late-80s though no one really came close to replicating her success or longevity. Never really happened with H&A actresses though I do remember “All Seats Taken” being a fairly big hit back in 2003.

Melissa Tkautz was another notable actress turned singer, though she was on “E Street” rather than the more popular Neighbours or Home & Away.

“Sexy Is The Word” and “Read My Lips” were her two biggest hits in 1992.

Another one that just came to my mind is Stephanie McIntosh (who once dated AFL star Nick Riewoldt). She released only one album to my knowledge, titled “Tightrope”, in 2006. It spawned two hits, the song with the same name as the album and “Mistake”.

Another Actress who embarked on a brief singing career was Tammin Sursok from Home and Away. She released a album around 2005 ish

Shoop Shoop and When I’m With You do get heard on the “Forever Classic” regional log but haven’t heard any of the others for a long time.

‘Strong Love’ also gets an occasional airing on Forever Classic- in fact the only station I’ve heard it on. Same with the Kylie Minogue song, in fact that’s one of her best.

‘Call Me Names’ isn’t in that category for mine (I hear it occasionally) but it’s definitely not flogged like ‘Drop The Pilot’. I agree with all the others on the list.
