Had trouble logging in, Dave5118 had my original answer for #12, but had I been able to reply I would have also have given dxhound2003's answer as correct (before Dave posted) as it still matches the clue, and Whigfield was in the chart at the same time as East 17 so...
11 Crocodile Shoes (Jimmy Nail)
12 Another Day (Whigfield)

12. :Y
12 Stay another day - East 17

PS I was recently disappointed to find out the Whigfield who appeared in the music videos didn't actually sing the songs :o :(

16 Breath (The Prodigy)

I wouldn't have accepted my Another Year answer, not a good enough match for the clue.
