I would sacrifice this old chart from 1991

[Chris Brown]

Well, actually I won’t because it took time to type it out.
30 years ago and we’re still slightly ahead of the TotP repeats but near enough that some of the songs on the way up there are still on the way down in here.

Anyway it’s the debut week for an act who have been attracting some not entirely positive attention lately. I think there’s some decent stuff in here overall.

Playlists are here. The UK single version of the Amy Grant track is finally on Spotify, but I used the official video for the YouTube playlist which I think is a different mix. Conversely, I could only find the original mix of Ian Dury on audio streaming.
The single edit of the Wedding Present track isn’t on either, nor on any reissue of the album, so you’ll have to skip the ending yourself.

Cost me a bet at school - I was convinced it wouldn't be number one when we
came back off summer hols. Think it was still there at Oct half term...

> 5 (3) Guns N' Roses - You Could Be Mine

Got a trigger warning before it was played on Pick of the Pops recently.

Half of St Etienne and a Radio 2 presenter!

> 20 (12) Bros - Are You Mine?

Their last week in the top 20. Burned brightly but briefly.

> 46 (NE) Moby - Go

First week on chart for someone with a long career - was he the one you were
referring to? Missed the story if so.

> 54 (43) Jive Bunny & The Mastermixers - Hot Summer Salsa

Hasn't the myximatosis got them yet?

Gah, I don’t remember anyone at my school showing any particular interest in this song (positive or negative) but it seemed to be around forever.

Guns… trigger… there’s a joke in there somewhere.

I was surprised when I found that out.

I suppose at least everyone remembers them.

He wasn’t although he has had his share of negative publicity.
I was actually thinking of Right Said Fred.

Would that be megamixomatosis? Eh, geddittt?!!!
