The Most Bizarre UK No. 1s of the 1990s
Britain’s chart-toppers in the ’90s were a wild ride: sure, classics like “Nothing Compares 2U,” “Wannabe” and “…Baby One More Time” still feel essential, but this deep-dive is all about the oddballs. From TV presenters duetting “Phantom of the Opera” to Iron Maiden’s metal anthem “Bring Your Daughter…,” and even a monk-style Gregorian chant hit, the decade threw some truly baffling No. 1s our way.
Split into fun chapters (“TV Present & The Phantom of the Opera,” “Gregorian House,” “Soul Legend in a Cartoon,” and more), it also covers novelty gold like Chef’s “Chocolate Salty Balls,” Mr Blobby’s inexplicable smash, and a Teletubbies takeover. It’s a tongue-in-cheek romp through the quirkiest moments that somehow stole the top spot.
