Did you know that there were 2 bands called Lips Inc? 1 was band formed by black girls from the US and the other white girls from the Netherlands.
The first cover is from the US band and the second from the Dutch Lips Inc.

We have a simple data base

www.walravens.info

there you can ask for any top 10 until top 500 from a year, a specific week of a year. All the hits a of one artist or you can search by song. It goes from 1965 untill today. Maybe you would like to give it a try. :)
