February 3, 200817 yr I was going to say how awful the charts were, but looking at it now it appears better than the current chart: Tracks I know & like: 03 - 02 - 01 - KLF Featuring The Children Of The Revolution - 3AM ETERNAL 02 - 01 - 02 - Queen - INNUENDO 09 - 04 - 05 - Seal - CRAZY 02 - 14 - 07 - Rick Astley - CRY FOR HELP 05 - 16 - 08 - Soho - HIPPY CHICK 1 - NEW - 09 - EMF - I BELIEVE 1 - NEW - 11 - Kylie Minogue - WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO? 03 - 18 - 15 - A Tribe Called Quest - CAN I KICK IT? 04 - 27 - 20 - Oleta Adams - GET HERE 07 - 17 - 22 - Whitney Houston - ALL THE MAN THAT I NEED 07 - 23 - 24 - Belinda Carlisle - SUMMER RAIN 05 - 21 - 27 - Bananarama - PREACHER MAN 02 - 28 - 30 - Gloria Estefan - COMING OUT OF THE DARK 1 - NEW - 32 - Source Featuring Candi Staton - YOU GOT THE LOVE 1 - NEW - 45 - Chris Isaak - BLUE HOTEL 03 - 31 - 46 - Orbital - SATAN 04 - 37 - 47 - Big Dish - MISS AMERICA 1 - NEW - 48 - Living Colour - LOVE REARS ITS UGLY HEAD 04 - 24 - 50 - Pop Will Eat Itself - X, Y AND ZEE 04 - 39 - 54 - Sting - ALL THIS TIME 02 - 63 - 56 - Jimmy Barnes And INXS - GOOD TIMES 05 - 41 - 57 - Stranglers - ALWAYS THE SUN 1 - NEW - 59 - Railway Children - EVERY BEAT OF THE HEART 09 - 38 - 63 - Madonna - JUSTIFY MY LOVE 1 - NEW - 69 - Milltown Brothers - WHICH WAY SHOULD I JUMP? 1 - NEW - 73 - Quartz Featuring Dina Carroll - IT'S TOO LATE 02 - 73 - 74 - Jellyfish - THE KING IS HALF UNDRESSED 02 - 48 - 75 - Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine - BLOODSPORT FOR ALL 02 - 60 - 78 - Go-Go's - COOL JERK 1 - NEW - 90 - Nirvana - SILVER 03 - 81 - 91 - Damn Yankees - HIGH ENOUGH 03 - 55 - 93 - Blue Nile - SATURDAY NIGHT 1 - NEW - 94 - Manic Street Preachers - MOTOWN JUNK
February 3, 200817 yr What a complete rubbish list of music, these are the only ones that are bearable 03 - 02 - 01 - KLF Featuring The Children Of The Revolution - 3AM ETERNAL 02 - 01 - 02 - Queen - INNUENDO 09 - 04 - 05 - Seal - CRAZY 08 - 03 - 06 - Enigma - SADNESS PART 1 09 - 12 - 21 - Farm - ALL TOGETHER NOW 1 - NEW - 41 - Jimmy Somerville With Bronski Beat - SMALLTOWN BOY (1991 REMIX) 08 - 34 - 53 - Righteous Brothers - YOU'VE LOST THAT LOVIN' FEELIN' 05 - 41 - 57 - Stranglers - ALWAYS THE SUN
February 4, 200817 yr Kylie and Nomad are stone-cold classics in my book! I will say, this is far from the greatest chart of this circa, but I love that 89-92 era and I don't think it can ever be beaten.
February 5, 200817 yr Kylie and Nomad are stone-cold classics in my book! I will say, this is far from the greatest chart of this circa, but I love that 89-92 era and I don't think it can ever be beaten. funny how people who were in their late teens back then think this way...its obviously a generation thing. but then again music was always better when we were that age regardless of generation... i first heard this back in the 70's when ageing rockers were on about how 'rock and roll was the greatest music ever'... and its a call thats been repeted by successive generations ever since as its their era. of course it doesnt mean that it was the best ever era, its just a personal viewpoint.
February 5, 200817 yr Hey, this was a great chart! 1000 times better than today's...although January 1991 is when I went serious, serious, serious about music! I'd listen to all these in a second.. 03 - 02 - 01 - KLF Featuring The Children Of The Revolution - 3AM ETERNAL 05 - 16 - 08 - Soho - HIPPY CHICK 1 - NEW - 09 - EMF - I BELIEVE 08 - 05 - 10 - C&C Music Factory Featuring Freedom Williams - GONNA MAKE YOU SWEAT 1 - NEW - 11 - Kylie Minogue - WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO? 04 - RE - 14 - Nomad Featuring MC Mikee Freedom - (I WANNA GIVE YOU) DEVOTION 03 - 18 - 15 - A Tribe Called Quest - CAN I KICK IT? 04 - 15 - 25 - Jesus Jones - INTERNATIONAL BRIGHT YOUNG THING 09 - 20 - 28 - Patsy Cline - CRAZY 1 - NEW - 32 - Source Featuring Candi Staton - YOU GOT THE LOVE 02 - 36 - 35 - Mark Summers - SUMMERS MAGIC 1 - NEW - 42 - D-Shake - MY HEART THE BEAT 1 - NEW - 44 - Birdland - EVERYBODY NEEDS SOMEBODY 03 - 31 - 46 - Orbital - SATAN 1 - NEW - 48 - Living Colour - LOVE REARS ITS UGLY HEAD 1 - NEW - 49 - Dinosaur Jr - THE WAGON 04 - 24 - 50 - Pop Will Eat Itself - X, Y AND ZEE 02 - 44 - 51 - King Bee - MUST BEE THE MUSIC 05 - 41 - 57 - Stranglers - ALWAYS THE SUN 1 - NEW - 59 - Railway Children - EVERY BEAT OF THE HEART 1 - NEW - 60 - Shades Of Rhythm - HOMICIDE / EXORCIST 09 - 38 - 63 - Madonna - JUSTIFY MY LOVE 05 - 47 - 66 - Scientist - THE BEE 1 - NEW - 69 - Milltown Brothers - WHICH WAY SHOULD I JUMP? 1 - NEW - 70 - Johnny Panic And The Bible Of Dreams - JOHNNY PANIC AND THE BIBLE OF DREAMS 02 - 73 - 74 - Jellyfish - THE KING IS HALF UNDRESSED 02 - 48 - 75 - Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine - BLOODSPORT FOR ALL 1 - NEW - 81 - Shut Up And Dance - DEREK WENT MAD 1 - NEW - 86 - 4 Hero - THE SCORCHER / KIRK IS BACK 1 - NEW - 88 - Spaceman 3 - BIG CITY 1 - NEW - 90 - Nirvana - SILVER 1 - NEW - 94 - Manic Street Preachers - MOTOWN JUNK 1 - NEW - 98 - Leftfield - MORE THAN I KNOW 1 - NEW - 100 - Gang Of Four - TO HELL WITH POVERTY Some classic indie stuff from Spacemen 3, Carter, Manics when they were good, Nirvana's first troubling of the charts, bleach blonde Birdland, Jesus Jones / EMF / PWEI, Smiths-sampling Soho, Dinosaur Jr etc. and some fantastic early breakbeat and techno from 4 Hero, Shut Up and Dance, D-Shake, The Scientist, King Bee, Orbital etc. Also...does anyone else at all remember 'Summers Magic' by Mark Summers? It was a huge cut up record based mainly around the theme to the Magic Roundabout and with loads of samples from old radio thrown in 'It's that man again!' etc.
February 6, 200817 yr I would agree with some posters, this is a weak looking top 40 but then I think the early 90's was a poor time for chart music generally (in England anyway). I'm also surprised to see Mariah Carey in there, i didn't think she made it quite so early (she must have been young). Also this chart must be just weeks away from being taken over by Bryan Adams Robin Hood theme tune?? :naughty:
February 6, 200817 yr UK Playlist Airplay Chart From Music Week Week Ending 2 February 1991 i never realised there was any airplay info/chart until later in 1991 (november ish)
February 7, 200817 yr I used to love Summers Magic by mark Summers! My faves incl Altogethr now Farm, you got the love, I belive, Time of my life and love rears its ugly head by Living Colour which is an absolute CLASSIC song!
February 7, 200817 yr My favourite EMF single a new top ten entry, the KLF at number one.... and Bananrama's second best-ever single, the Youth-produced Preacher Man in the top 30. Some crud in there - but it's a whole lot better than this week's top 40.
February 7, 200817 yr Gotta agree with Living Colour - just a great, great record. 'Someday' was Mariah's second UK hit - I remember with glee that it only went in at 38 (when 'Vision of Love' had hit top 10 in late 1990 I think) and I thought she'd be dropped and we'd seen the last of her. Oh dear. We were still a good 4-5 months away from the spectre of Bryan Adams. Mind you, I don't know why everyone immediately dismisses 1991 because of Adams - there were hundreds and hundreds of other records in the Top 40 that year and they were considerably better than the trash that's out these days. Conversely, everyone remembers 1994 for Blur and Oasis - but nobody ever says it was $h!te because of Wet Wet Wet. Edited February 7, 200817 yr by richie

Conversely, everyone remembers 1994 for Blur and Oasis - but nobody ever says it was $h!te because of Wet Wet Wet. but thats because blur and oasis were good and more memorable then wetx3, 91 will not, has not, gone down in musical annals as a 'classic' year full of inovative, creative, music. sure there was some, but what is '91s legacy?... nothing compared to blur/oasis's revamp of the 60's sounds which are still prevailent in todays 'indie' (not my term for it) scene.
February 8, 200817 yr Well...arguably both Birdland and the Milltown Brothers revamped the 60s sound as well as Blur and Oasis, but neither are remembered by anyone. Without the likes of Ride, Teenage Fanclub etc who were really big in 1991 (in indie terms anyway) Oasis wouldn't have sounded like they did...but still, yeah. These were the acorns from which the oaks grew. But as for innovation - 1991 brought forth the start of breakbeat / rave without which we would never, ever have had The Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim etc hitting number one later in the decade. You can't write that off ;) I'll defend 1991 till my death - it's still my favourite year of music bar none.

You can't write that off ;) Erm, I credit Utah Saints, Future Sound Of London & obviously KLF for bringing that sound to the masses. :P
February 9, 200817 yr 1991 was the year of grunge and shoegazing for me! Four stone cold classics from 91 Screamadelica - Primal Scream Nevermind - Nirvana Loveless - My Bloody Valentine Bandwagonesque - Teenage Fanclub
