Not a bad chart really, a couple of truly horrific songs [ I'll let you work out those for yourselves] and a lot of really good dance tracks.

The Wedding Present in 1990 set records by releasing one track every month and having 12 different hit singles in one year. Quite a big acheivement in the age before downloads!
