UK Chart Run: 1-1-1-1-1-4-9-12-21-37-48-73 (12 weeks)

 

Falling at the final hurdle (but by an enormous margin) are London synth-pop duo Erasure. Prior to this release they had built up an extremely impressive chart history including 11 top 10 singles but this bundle of ABBA covers became their first and ultimately only #1 'single'. I'm not exactly sure what the chart rules were at the time regarding EPs but I believe this is the only one ever to hit the top spot? Much to my chagrin, this was my birth #1 which I've always been so very underwhelmed by but I suppose an EP is kind of unique.

 

Anyway, the final which was very much expected is now here. Choose your fave!

It has to be Snap! for me. One of my fave #1s of the entire decade.

Stay is a million miles better than Snap with the infamous cancer lyric :/

I gave Shakespear's Sister a few more points in the 90s #1s rate last year, but I'm backing Snap! here as the underdog!

there have been lots of EPs making #1, far from unique

Yes I see now in the very next year there was Five Live EP!

ABBA-esque is definitely the best EP to ever make #1. Such an imaginative and yet faithful re-working of some of the best pop songs in history. Sorry to see it go.

 

Snap! should win - one of the most iconic dance records ever.

It has to be Stay.

'Stay' has to win for me. An undeniable classic :heart:

I'm gonna go with Snap!

 

Surprised to see it being the runaway winner so far. :o

A great top 2 but Stay is my winner.

Shakespears Sister all the way

Stay for me, an incredible track. Siobhan's middle eight has got to be one of the best musical switch-ups of all-time in a song.

Stay for me, one of the best singles of the 90s. Great top 4 here though

Oh but PLEASE let’s not subject ourselves to Take a Chance On Me in the OP. The disturbing gold Andy Bell outfit should be there for Lay All Your Love On Me :wub:

As you wish :magic:

Ooh, I spy another Buzzjack 92-er!

 

I voted for Snap!, but both of these are the clear highlights so not fussed x

Abstain.

Snap!
