"Amazed" - Lonestar
Terry Wogan had a soft spot for country songs that told a story; he'd championed Faith Hill and Gretchen Peters, and played this track a bit. So does his successor.
After two months on release, and two months charting around number 25, Capital Radio was finally playing the song. It almost broke through to become a major hit.
The four-piece band from Tennessee honed their craft by playing 500 gigs in two years, and honed their songwriting to make syrupy observational songs. For my money, they got even more saccharine in later years, and i can't honestly recommend an album.

"Fill me in" - Craig David Might be the youngest british lad to reach the top. He's only the third youngest performer on tonight's show, being three years older than harmonica!Hanson and six years senior to drummer!Hanson. #TOTP #CraigDavid
