The Most Bizarre UK No. 1s of the 1990s
Britain’s 90s charts weren’t just packed with classics like “Nothing Compares 2U” or “Wannabe” – they also threw up some truly oddball chart-toppers. This video strolls through strange number ones ranging from a show-tune mash-up of Phantom of the Opera and a heavy-metal hit by Iron Maiden, to novelty smashes like Mr Blobby, the Teletubbies theme and Chef’s “Chocolate Salty Balls.”
With a playful, timestamped breakdown of each quirky moment (think Gregorian House, cartoon soul legends and film directors gone pop), plus fact-checking by Chad Van Wagner, it’s a fun, informal dive into how some defiantly uncommercial – even baffling – tracks still conquered the UK charts.
