#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge #ShepPettibone 15>1 1️⃣ 8️⃣ Sugar Daddy (7" Remix) | Thompson Twins (1989) buff.ly/DN2OvHX The Twins, now a duo & before their sound went even more experimental, teamed with Shep for this first single from their Big Trash album. I loved it from the first "na na na na"!

#20FaveVideos #MusicChallege 20>1 1️⃣ 8️⃣ Legs | ZZ Top (1984) buff.ly/yLWwrCk Winning a VMA for Best Group, Legs was also a #8 smash on the Hot 100. As a teen back in the day, MTV could not play this video enough - the car, the ladies...all I gotta say!

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge #ShepPettibone 15>1 1️⃣ 4️⃣ Preacher Man (Shep's Club Mix) | Bananarama (1990) The only official remix Shep did for the ladies of Bananarama. And, yes, it's amazing! 🙌 🎶

#20FaveVideos #MusicChallenge 20>1 1️⃣ 9️⃣ Don't Come Around Here No More | Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers (1985) buff.ly/khEiMhL Love the trippy Alice in Wonderland vibe!

#20FaveVideos #MusicChallenge 20>1 2️⃣ 0️⃣ Rockit | Herbie Hancock buff.ly/rfPsEI6 A staple on early MTV!

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge #ShepPettibone 15>1 1️⃣ 5️⃣ Where's the Party (You Can Dance Remix) | Madonna buff.ly/9xjjeIz The entire YCD album was Shep'ified & is glorious - WTP is a highlight! Seems appropriate for NYE!!🎉 🥂 🪩

#ArtistFaveXmas #MusicChallenge Day 9 Unranked Hot in December | Kylie Minogue (2025) buff.ly/NvJIEip Definitely true, as it was 77 degrees here in Florida on Xmas day! Wouldn't have it any other way!!

#ArtistFaveXmas #MusicChallenge Day 8 Unranked It Doesn't Often Snow At Christmas | Pet Shop Boys buff.ly/nxDPQT4 BING CROSBY!! A holiday fave in my household for ages! Happy Boxing Day for those who celebrate or TGIF for all others!

#ArtistFaveXmas #MusicChallenge Day 7 Unranked Do They Know It's Christmas | The Echoing Green buff.ly/WbvTpMu A holiday fave from a band you've probably never heard of, but should! TEG is a synthpop band w/a bit of DM or Erasure thrown in there. Give it a listen & check them out if you like!

It's been a great year for music challenges & @geodrew.bsky.social & I have been loving the festive #ArtistFaveXmas tracks! Looking forward to everyone's final selections!! Merry Christmas to all who celebrate!

#ArtistFaveXmas #MusicChallenge Day 6 Unranked 100 Degrees | Kylie & Dannii Minogue (2015) buff.ly/i2gwYcw The Sisters Minogue bring us a festive disco-laced track that I adore! Kylie & Dannii are having a blast in the video too! 💙 🎄 DYK: it was remixed sans Xmas as "It's still disco to me"?

#ArtistFaveXmas #MusicChallenge Day 5 Unranked Snow in Sun | Tracey Thorn (2012) buff.ly/i3DxJS1 A beautiful cover of the Scritti Politti track (which I also love!)

#ArtistFaveXmas #MusicChallenge Day 4 Unranked Baby It's Christmas | Bananarama (2010) An original holiday song written by Sara & Ian Masterson. Ofc, it's a cracking dance track, but very holiday at the same time. I love it & have included it in my yearly holiday playlists since its release!

#ArtistFaveXmas #MusicChallenge Day 3 Unranked All I Want For Christmas is New Year's Day | Hurts (2010) buff.ly/lN1zxW3 From the duo Hurts, this track should have been HUGE upon its release. It quickly became a fave in my household & a staple for the holidays. Give me sad and mournful any day!

#ArtistFaveXmas #MusicChallenge Day 2 Unranked XMAS | Kylie Minogue (2025) buff.ly/llYgFxY This year's UK Christmas #1 belongs to Kylie! 2025 has been her year: a successful tour, a #1 album, and now this! XMAS is her 8th UK #1 & her 1st one at Christmas time! I am so happy for her!!

#ArtistFaveXmas #MusicChallenge Day 1 Unranked She Won't Be Home | Erasure (1988) buff.ly/8LDnskK This Matt Pop remix from 2013 is a gem! It gives this alt-Christmas song a disco zing! It still retains its characteristic melancholy, so we're good to go!

#20SongsByYear #MusicChallenge 1992 Unranked Celebration | Kylie Minogue buff.ly/u3AIJJb Kylie dusted off this classic cover recently & included in a live X-M-A-S set, Capital’s Jingle Bell Ball. What a great segue to #ArtistFaveXmas (kicking off tomorrow! 12/19)

#20SongsByYear #MusicChallenge 1992 Unranked I Will Always Love You | Whitney Houston buff.ly/LhZDZqX Dolly’s classic ballad reimagined by one of the greatest singers we’ve had…Whitney! Spending 14 weeks at #1 & selling 19 million copies of the Bodyguard soundtrack, IWALY is one for the ages!

#20SongsByYear #MusicChallenge 1992 Unranked Walking on Broken Glass | Annie Lennox buff.ly/uYCxFJX With a video plucked from Dangerous Liaisons, WOBG scored a top 20 hit on the Hot 100 (#14) and peaked at #8 in the UK

#20SongsByYear #MusicChallenge 1992 Unranked There Is A Light That Never Goes Out | The Smiths buff.ly/rk5ztjz Wait! I know - it’s from The Queen is Dead (1986), but it wasn’t released as a single until ‘92 to promote Best II, a compilation LP. Perhaps their finest song!

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge #Robyn 15>1 1️⃣ Dancing On My Own (2010) buff.ly/wpy8gGW Described by some as the song that defined the decade, Robyn's DOMO is my fave track. It's a signature, an anthem, a mantra..it perfectly encapsulates her discography and her impact on pop & dance music.

#20SongsByYear #MusicChallenge 1992 Unranked Erotica | Madonna buff.ly/pRquWsN I'm posting the live version from the Confessions Tour, as it is a superior remix! Debuted on the Hot 100 at #13 (tied with highest debut ever at the time) & peaked at #3. It was a US Dance #1, ofc.

#20SongsByYear #MusicChallenge 1992 Unranked Going, Going, Gone | Information Society buff.ly/KMT4vqN From their 1992 Peace & Love Inc. LP, GGG is a gem! I highlighted this single in a previous InSoc @AF15; it's just too good not to revisit!

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge #Robyn 15>1 2️⃣ With Every Heartbeat (2007) buff.ly/q5lC79M Robyn's comeback record (with Kleerup) that took her all the way to #1 on the UK singles chart. (Any of my Top 3 could interchangeably be my #1 pick, ofc!)🤩 💙 🙌

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge #Robyn 15>1 3️⃣ Indestructible (A Trak Radio Remix) buff.ly/1CvwMyY 🎶 And I never was smart with love I let the bad ones in and the good ones go🎶

#20SongsByYear #MusicChallenge 1992 Unranked Friday I'm In Love | The Cure buff.ly/Ek8ublX TGIF! It's never a bad day to post the Cure! "Friday" peaked at #6 on the UK charts and #18 on the Hot 100

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge #Robyn 15>1 4️⃣ Call Your Girlfriend (2011) buff.ly/uLnjoCF A master of devastating balladry, Robyn released CYG as the 2nd single from Body Talk. CYG connected with her US fans, as it hit #1 on the dance chart.

#20SongsByYear #MusicChallenge 1992 Unranked Go (Twin Peaks Remix) | Moby buff.ly/E2lQYH1 Both Moby and I love Twin Peaks, so when he remixed Go in that style, it was perfect! 👌 🙌

#20SongsByYear #MusicChallenge 1992 Unranked Little Bird | Annie Lennox buff.ly/dtX13z1 A fave from Diva 🕊️

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge #Robyn 15>1 5️⃣ Who's that Girl (2005) buff.ly/1sJ2rRz 2nd single released from her Robyn LP, WTG is laying the groundwork for global chart domination and fame that was right around the corner (hint, hint: her next single was a UK#1 that put her on the map...)

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge #Robyn 15>1 6️⃣ Hang With Me (2010) buff.ly/MCx53uU Originally an acoustic track on Body Talk Part 1, Robyn remixed it for BTP2 & it peaked at #10 on the US dance chart. Fun fact: Robyn performed the acoustic version on an ep of the Gossip Girl TV series.

#20SongsByYear #MusicChallenge 1992 Unranked I’d Die Without You | P.M. Dawn buff.ly/OSv5X16 A #3 smash on the Hot 100! I love everything about PM Dawn!

#20SongsByYear #MusicChallenge 1992 Unranked Rain | Madonna buff.ly/PBVHY2X Another beautiful ballad that should have been bigger but was overshadowed by the Sex book controversy. Peaked at #14 in the US, #7 in the UK, & #5 in Oz (see, the Aussies got it!)

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge #Robyn 15>1 7️⃣ Love Kills (2010) buff.ly/c84IIgi When I saw Robyn in 2010, she sang it & I felt she was singing it just to me, as I was the only one there who knew it & was singing it back! My moment with the goddess!

#20SongsByYear #MusicChallenge 1992 Unranked Disappointed | Electronic buff.ly/pknry8f Once again, Bernard & Johnny call in PSB's Neil Tennant for his vocals, and we were not disappointed! Peaked at #6 in the UK & peaked in the Top 10 on 3 US charts: dance, maxi-single sales, & modern rock

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge #Robyn 15>1 8️⃣ Cardiac Arrest (2011) buff.ly/uDibw8W Robyn loves to feature with other artists, so here's one with Teddybears, featuring some radical guitars in the chorus! We don't normally get guitars with Robyn, so this is a bonus!

#20SongsByYear #MusicChallenge 1992 Unranked Too Funky | George Michael buff.ly/7s5tXwS From the Red Hot + Dance soundtrack to raise money for AIDS awareness, TF peaked at #10 in the US, #4 in the UK, and #3 in Oz.
