Dominator’s Top 50 of 1999
49. Travis – Writing To Reach You/Driftwood/TurnBreaking with tradition, I have gone for three of Travis’ songs releasedlast year instead of picking one, all of which have something quite differentover the standard pop song since they all have something to say.
The 49th out of 50 songs was meant to be their other hit last year,“Why Does It Always Rain On Me?”, but that’s become the most pedestrianof their tunes as it’s been overplayed over the last year and I’ve becomesick of it.
The chart positions were:
- Writing To Reach You (No.14, Mar 99)
- Driftwood (No.13, May 99)
- Why Does It Always Rain On Me? (No.10, Aug 99)
- Turn (No.8, Nov 99)
The end bit :
Well, that’s it for now. If you want to be added to the WidescreenVideo and Laserdisc lists, just mail me.
Bye for now,
