    CW: Haim - Summer girl (Now! 104)

    The #Haim sisters wrote a pleasant jazz groove, musing about how to be a support to troubled friends. Our heroes stroll around Los Angeles in the video.

    Any resemblance to "Walk on the wild side" is coincidental, Lou Reed's estate gets some of the royalty.

    More like this next month: it's the vibe I'm targetting for #Popiversary2, after #NowPop40 ends.

    CW: Jellybean ft Elisa Fiorillo - "Who found who" (Now! 11)

    Jellybean was the first superstar remixer: famous for twiddling knobs and pushing buttons, while other people did the singing. He had four top 20 hits in six months, and then vanished.

    Elisa Fiorillo is a vocalist with tremendous power and range, she went on to be a backing vocalist for Prince and Savage Garden.

    Here's a Top of the Pops appearance.

    CW: "Reach" - S Club 7 (Now! 46)

    And from 2000, the ultimate in feelgood anthems. Janet, Peter, Colin, George, Pam, Barbara, and Jack bring the party bus to town, brightening up otherwise dull days.

    CW: "My favourite waste of time" - Owen Paul (Now! 7)

    Every third day, there's a double selection. Today, two summery hits, full of sunshine and brightness.

    From 1986, Owen Paul and his marvellous muscular arms. "I don't care if being with you is meaningless, and ridiculous", it's great to be in someone's company.

    CW: 1 - Tracey Ullman - They don't know

    #NowPop40 begins with Now! 1, from 1983.

    Kirsty MacColl wrote it, Tracey Ullman covered it, the video features a cameo from Paul McCartney. It's the wistful accidental-flat note in the chorus, it's the shoo-wop 60s throwback sound, it's the lavish production.
