P.H.C. THE HOTTEST HITS IN THE LAND P.H.C. YEAR IN REVIEW - 2006 NEARLY 12 YEARS ONLINE !
Rumours of the demise of the P.H.C. were greatly exaggerated. The MASSIVESMASH.COM Music Review is now a monthly publication. This edition serves as the October 2007 edition. Since our September 2007 edition 4 weeks ago a brand new P.H.C. has been compiled offline every single week. That's 3 brand new TOP 25 charts that weren't published here, but highlights of those 3 charts were revealed by me on my blog at MySpace.

You keep your distance. Like for instance when you told me we should take it slow. It’s been forever. It’s now or never, and it might be "Time (To Let This Go)". And I know that I - I’ve gotta get away 'cause I’ve had enough. "Time". You always needed more "Time", but all we’ve ever had is "Time". So now this is the last "Time". But I’ll be fine.

# 483 - DOUBLE THE MIGHTINESS
Exactly a decade ago here on our chart British debut artist Chumbawamba was spending its 3RD week in a row at # 1 with their International party smash "Tubthumping". The first three weeks at # 1 at the end of September 1997 only represented one-fifth of its entire duration high atop our chart. It ended up spending a MASSIVE 18 weeks in a row at # 1 - through January 1998. It's an all-time MASSIVESMASH.COM chart record - and a record that has not been approached since.
Re-live 1997 all over again with the help of 19 MASSIVE Memories that were quite memorable for me and this chart. Simply click on the 1997 hyperlink up at the top-right-hand corner of this section.
TITLEThe Impression That I Get
ARTISTThe Mighty Mighty Bosstones
PEAK9WKS8PTS138YRS1997-8
This was an unusual-sounding hit on the radio - particularly for U.S. Modern Rock Radio and then as a crossover hit on U.S. Mainstream TOP 40 Radio. In fact it was a # 1 smash at the former during the Summer Of 1997 - a rarity for a song that was full of orchestral brass instruments. At TOP 40 radio it was a favourite for over 8 months throughout much of 1997. The Bosstones have been on hiatus since the end of 2003.

It's the pick-hit of the week that's currently playing on my MySpace site. It's all about that "Amazing Grace". How sweet the sound. That saves a wretch like me. I once was lost. But now I'm found. Was blind but now I see. That sounds very familiar to me. I relate.
