I'll definitely be getting this!
"You're All I Need To Get By" is an odd choice of cover for 1994 though, seeing as it was actually a hit in July 1995, and was a rap version which did no more than repeated the chorus over and over.

"Crazy For You" for 1991 is a little odd seeing as it was a mere re-release that year. Pity about the lack of Spice and a pity the Girls Aloud one has been knocking about for a few years but there's some good choices on there and I might download the ones I want rather than buy the whole lot.

There's a nice day of celebration on the 30th too!
They're bringing back Blackburn and Zoe Ball is doing a show with Sara Cox!
Cox and Ball's lunchtime!

Bought this today.
It's a mix of the great:-
The Streets - Your Song
Foo Fighters - Band on the Run
Keane - Under Pressure
Mark Ronson - You're All I Need To Get By
Natasha Bedingfield - Ray of Light
The Twang - Drinking in LA
Girls Aloud - Teenage Dirtbag
Hard-Fi - Toxic
The Pointless:-
The Fray - The Great Beyond
The View - Don't Look Back Into the Sun
both almost identical to the originals!
and the what the f*ck where they thinking??!!:-
Mika vs Armand Van Helden - Can't Stand Losing You
Stereophonics - You Sexy Thing (They where going to cover T'Pau - China in Your Hand originally - that could have been superb!)
Kooks - All That She Wants
Calvin Harris - Stillness in Time
but worst of all:-
Maximo Park - Like I Love You

Bedingfield's "Ray of Light" is awful. She shouts it like a barking dog. Mrs Ritchie misses notes galore when she does it live but it's still better than Natasha's!
