I looked on Amazon and found that the New Jack Swing - Jack Jones CD featuring Love Boat was released here (UK) on 15th January this year, although in the USA it was released back in 1997. Not sure what the reason for that is. Plus, he did a sell out UK tour at the end of last year, so there seems to be a renewed interest in him in.
I like it when oldies creep into various charts. It reminds us that good songs are forever.
Not sure that I see any particular evidence that the FABBERS are influenced by these pages, although it's entirely possible. Certainly there hasn't been much mention of Jack Jones on here until now, nor Onionsound.
I don't think I came across 999's "Found Out Too Late". Can it be heard anywhere on the net?

As the Fab Chart mystery people blatantly read these threads, and we keep getting some older songs in there, I would like to see some classic 70`s new wave in there as well. I want "Found Out Too Late" by 999. A pop/punk crossover that was not a hit except on the radio.
I have allways adored the simplicity of the song, and it needs re-hearing.

Well keep taking them ITK sometimes they take a while to have an effect.

FAB Chart... yes another good one. Surprised to see one new entry and pleased to see JK holding on.
Strange times: Is the Love Boat on telly again or something? Where did that one come from?
It's so refreshing to find a chart so open to various influences - my current fav Onionsound is really rather retro... is this New New Wave?
Cat your right about predictions and surprises - I wonder if we'll see the Blagg creping in, they seem to have got more response here than the norm and I hope the Futon people bother to tip their song too.
If only the "proper" chart was more like this.
PS. JK they sell baseball hats in their shop
(Strange times 2: Last night at a quite amateur gig someone's 12 year old child is heavily into the Who via the CSI show apparently - cool)
