The Most Bizarre UK No. 1s of the 1990s

Britain’s 90s pop charts weren’t just blessed with era-defining anthems like “Wannabe” and “…Baby One More Time,” but also jaw-dropping oddities: a TV host tackling Phantom of the Opera, Iron Maiden’s only chart-topper, Gregorian chant remixed into house, a polka-dot bikini revival, a 90s Charleston, hidden Courtney Love references, Teletubbies mania, Mr Blobby’s cheeky novelty, Chef’s “Chocolate Salty Balls” and even Cliff Richard’s Millennium Prayer.

This romp through genre-bending hits is broken down with timestamps, behind-the-scenes trivia and a hefty source list (fact-checked by Chad Van Wagner). Dive in for a fun, informal pop-culture deep-dive and follow the host on Bluesky, Facebook or Patreon for more musical archaeology.
