Rebel MC - Street Tuff
** NEW SONG **

Year of release: 1989
Peak chart position: #3

"Street Tuff" is a hit single by Rebel MC & Double Trouble. It became the biggest hit of both performers' careers, peaking at #3 on the UK singles chart. It is the follow-up to their first hit, "Just Keep On Rockin'", which made it into the UK Top 20. The two songs, plus Rebel MC's first solo single "Better World", appear on the Rebel MC album Rebel Music, released in 1990.

The Feeling - Sewn
** NEW SONG **

Year of release: 2006
Peak chart position: #7

"Sewn" is the first single proper by British rock group The Feeling, following the 7" only single "Fill My Little World" (which would become a full single release itself). It was released in the UK on February 27, 2006 and entered the UK Singles Chart at #7 on March 5, 2006.

"Sewn" gained the band a lot of support and went on to become one of the most successful songs of the year on British radio, with much thanks to Chris Moyles of BBC Radio One, who championed the band. The single was allegedly recorded in a shed in someone's back garden in Horsham.

Stan Ridgway - Camouflage
1st for 2007

Year of release: 1986
Peak chart position: #4

The most recognisable track released by Stan Ridgway tells the story of a soldier getting into trouble in Vietnam and with the aid of a shadowy companion named "Camouflage" manages to make it through the night and back to the safety of HQ. It is only there that he is told that his saviour was a former marine who died the night before. Love it.

Erasure - The Circus
4th Time

Year of release: 1987
Peak chart position: #6

"The Circus" was the fourth single, and the title-track, released from Erasure's second album. Mute Records issued the single in 1987 as the final release from the album. "The Circus" is written by Erasure members Vince Clarke and Andy Bell and creates a more downtempo and melancholy mood than their past singles. Essentially a synth pop track, the music is accentuated by acoustic guitar and circus-like accordion.

The lyrics center around the lament of "working men" whose bright futures and job securities are left shattered in the modern world of greedy corporations and technology. Despite its lyrical content, "The Circus" became Erasure's third UK Top 10 hit, peaking at number six.
