James' Blog - Chart Rewind

Into the Top 20 of June 1991 although with Madonna, The Pet Shop Boys and even Kraftwerk in here there is a distinctly 80s vibe to parts of this.

The Top 30 of the singles chart from June 1991. Includes gratuitous Queen and the account of winning a T'Pau album on a local radio quiz. More thrilling than it sounds, trust me.

There's a distinctly summer vibe to this particular chart retrospective, winding the clock back to the balmy days of 1991 when it seems the nation had gone sex and soundtrack crazy.

March 1993 the raging climax. Or should that be the ragga climax? I'm such a tease.

More Whitney, Monie Love's best ever single (possibly) and the Comic Relief single we'd all like to forget.

Madonna, Suede and the only song that kd land will ever be remembered for. It is Part 2 of the rewind through the charts from March 1993.

A wander back in time to the spring of 1993 and a singles chart notable for a set of three songs right at the very top. But as ever, we are getting ahead of ourselves. James won't turn Informer.

The biggest hits and the brightest sounds. And in all fairness this was a golden period for pop music. The Top 10 from February 1990 awaits our perusal.

Our march through the chart of February 1990 reaches the Top 20. Something something Michael Bolton. You have been warned.

After doing the very first vintage chart rewind piece, it seemed a bloody good idea to have a second go. So this was the second go, taking a look back at February 1990 and a tape of the chart that, because it featured so many memorable and personal favourite songs, remains a compelling listen.

And so to the final bit. The Top 10 singles from November 1987. George, Carol and everyone else surrounding them.

Rewinding the tape of an old Top 40 show from November 1987 and we reach the Top 20. Featuring Boy George's great overlooked hit single.
