Whistles, Jaws & Happy Birthdays On The 20 20

whistle.jpg Monday - Whistling our way through the hits!

Yes, it's another of our favourite countdowns of 2017... dragging out the best as we get close to the end of the year. 20 hits that feature whistling... and along the way, we'll hear from some whistling champions and get some whistling tips... and our number 1 is whistling on top of whistling.

 

perfect.jpg Tuesday - Do you remember the dance of joy?

It was during this week in 1987 that we met Belke and cousin Larry, the funny duo on the sitcom "Perfect Strangers". It was launched as a filler in the off season but became a family favourite. Our countdown features some of the biggest singles of the year as we roll through the paper chart from late November 1987!

 

jaws2.jpg Wednesday - We're staying out of the water!

Yes, just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water - "Jaws 2" premiered during this week in 1978. We'll celebrate that and the top 20 hits from that week... featuring 2 songs from another hit movie - "Grease"!

 

thriller.jpg Thursday - The biggest hits and biggest album of all time!

It was during this week in 1982 that Michael Jackson released the album that would go on to become the biggest of all time! Didn't hurt that it hit the shelves just before Christmas - and with singles released right throughout 1983 it just kept selling. We'll celebrate the anniversary of the release of "Thriller" on our way to the number 1 from this week in '82!

 

decemberbirth.jpg Friday - The biggest birthday month of all!

Yes, it's a special time of year - and extra special if you are celebrating a birthday. There's some big birthdays on our December Birthday list including one popular singer who clocks up another year on Chistmas day.
