Norfolk DJ 0 Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 6 months or so ago, these were floor clearers. How fickle the public are. Last night I played the excellent 'Stop' (their only song not to get to number 1) and 'who do you think you are' and the floor is packed. Last year prior to Take That reforming, they were not popular apart from 'relight my fire' now 'Could it be magic' and such like are very playable. Just interesting to see how some publicity makes groups trendy again. Link to post Share on other sites

Can't say I've had any requests for the Spice Girls for ages but I am getting a lot of requests for Michael Jackson lately whom I have avoided playing for a while. Link to post Share on other sites

TonyB 0 Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Why avoid? Only because of the sensitive issue of his involvement with children and there are plenty of other good tracks to fill an evening with, as well as the fact no one requested any of his tracks for a while. I know he was acquitted and its not for me to judge but there were still people who thought there was no smoke without fire and rather than risk offense, I avoided playing his tracks where possible but would do if specifically asked Link to post Share on other sites

Norfolk DJ 0 Posted July 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Yep, agree Billie Jean seems to be most popular. A bit odd really, as never as popular in 1982 as it is now, but there are alot of songs like that. Link to post Share on other sites

lateandlive 0 Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Maybe i'm in a minority?? But i'm agreeing with the Spice Girls not ever going away! Definitely a broader spectrum is now more playable at gigs, but Stop keeps my floor filled too! :s Link to post Share on other sites
