Have we any takers willing to satisfy this request? I'm sure Pete isn't the only contributor who has interest in this topic! Best wishes. KBP - ------- PETE'S ORIGINAL POST ------ 1976 Let's tick together 160 1977 In your mind 126 1978 The Bride Stripped bare 159 1985 Boy's and Girls 63 1988 Bete Noire 63 1993 Taxi 79 1994 Mamouna 94 1999 As time goes by 195 2002 Frantic 189 Clearly Bryan's height of popularity in the US was the 80's. He is barely making the top 200 lately, although Frantic's best chart position was slightly better than As time goes by. He never parlayed his brief rise in the 80's and never achieved even one top 40 record. I think it is safe to say he has only a cult following here in the U.S. albeit a very loyal one. Commercially he has run out of time. Artistically the clock is still ticking. I'm curious if someone can post his UK figures for further discussion and to satisfy my curiousity. ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 26 May 2003 11:38:36 -0400 From: "M" Subject: Re: [AVALON] RE: Tatu/Eurovision hijinks/the straw that broke the camel's back > spare the rest of us and concentrate a few minds.
