Today's song was originally a #78 hit on the Hot 100 for this band back in 1983. This week in 1990, their re-recorded version was at #87 on the chart, and despite not being nearly as famous as the original, reached a higher peak of #76. Here's the 1990 version of "I Melt with You" by Modern English.

Here's a song that may sound familiar, because it includes a sample of the song "Hi-Jack" by Enoch Light and was in turn sampled in Jennifer Lopez's "Jenny from the Block". This week in 1999, it was spending its second week at its peak position of #84 on the Hot 100. Here's "Watch Out Now" by The Beatnuts featuring Yellaklaw.

Recently I posted Stevie Nicks solo, but now here she is with the rest of Fleetwood Mac. At #52 on this week's Hot 100 in 1998, they would peak the following week one notch higher at #51 with a live version of their 1975 song "Landslide".

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I like this version better than the original.

At #42 on the Radio and Records chart this week in 1997 (and just barely missing the Top 40 by peaking the following week at #41) is the band Monaco, featuring New Order's Peter Hook. They also debuted on Billboard's Hot 100 Airplay chart that same week, and would peak two weeks later at #61 with their song "What Do You Want from Me?".

Great pick, jlthorpe. Very underrated song. When I first heard it that summer, I thought it sounded very New Order-esque. Sure enough, the connection is there. 🙂

I can't remember when I first heard it (it might have been that summer), but at some point I think I saw the video for it (it may have been the one I posted, which was the UK version, but there was a US video as well that I may have seen instead), and it was probably because of that that I started liking the song.
