I’d certainly go along with that and agree with you there.

This was a period when it was rumoured you could get in the Pop Top Ten with 10,000 sales and tracks like Acen’s ‘Trip II The Moon’ and The Scientist’s ‘The Exorcist’ just to take 2 examples were rumoured to have done 40,000 and barely grazed the top 50.
Even so Record Companies/TOTP/Radio1 were running scared and brought in these crap rules that you had to recreate hardcore tracks live on the telly…basically impossible. And it was the time when IMO the charts lost their final shred of credibility and I never looked at them again.
Oh and I’d give this an 11 if I could…

You’ve chosen exactly the right way to do it, Kat! It’s going to be fun when Popular gets to the nineties…

At first I just wanted to dissect the song with a shiny critical scalpel and get to the nub of what exactly made it so awesome. Then I got a bit more ambitious and decided to attempt it for all the songs on Rave ’92. And then of course I end up waffling on about childhood anecdotes for 19 posts. Never mind!
