Who would have thought that going into the 90s, 5 Actors and 2 Comedians would end up number 1 on the UK Charts. With the Comedians doing it twice with the same song.
Yup! Started it as a 20-yr-old, unmarried but engaged shop-assistant, Livin at home, no responsibilities, ended it as a 30-yr-old, married, business-owning dad of 5, by 3 mothers, having moved house 22 times. Busy decade!!! 😂
16 weeks from June to October,and it kept about half a dozen songs off the top. I remember a being at a friend's house and him saying "this is getting ridiculous now" when it clocked up that 16th week. The following week the DJ doing the Sunday rundown (not sure now which one) played a blinder by not giving a thing away before saying "Will Bryan Adams be number 1 for a 17th week?",then a lengthy pause,then "No!" before he played it. A few people were probably doing cartwheels down the street after hearing the news. Wet Wet Wet was number 1 for 15 weeks in 1994,from the early summer to early September.
@@rjjcms1 U2 did a limited time release of "The Fly" which helped condense its sales into the first week and dethrone Bryan. If not for that, it could have been there even longer. Wet Wet Wet actually deleted the song or that could have been there for longer too.
@@gnu_andrew That's absolutely correct. Consequently,The Fly crashed straight in at number 1 but the following week it was number 2,then 5,then 27 and then gone entirely! At the same time Achtung Baby was being promoted really heavily. Wet Wet Wet did indeed delete Love is All Around as a single,otherwise who knows how much longer it could have been up there? Perhaps even they were sick and tired of it! The song that finally replaced it at the top was Saturday Night by Whigfield. Quack quack quack quack...Di Di a La La!
@@rjjcms1 yes, I remember being very glad when "Saturday Night" did knock it off. I've never been a fan of the Wet Wet Wet cover and we'd heard "Saturday Night" on holiday quite a while before it made #1.
While from the US chart from same time I remember almost all the songs, here I see a lot of hits I never heard although I lived in Europe. But late 90s the UK and US charts went totally separate ways anyway.
Interesting fact: Iron Maiden has ever only had one UK number one, Bring your Daughter to the Slaughter Meanwhile they also had 2 number 1 albums which were Piece of Mind and The Final Frontier
Most of the N.1s are great songs ...but I think you missed the N.1 of Take That with Lulu "Relight my fire"..2 weeks between....BOOM! SHAKE THE ROOM JAZZY JEFF & THE FRESH PRINCE and I'D DO ANYTHING FOR LOVE (BUT I WON'T DO THAT) MEAT LOAF Is that so ?
Yes they did! And we were all very grateful to blur and Oasis for doing so!!! You see, the "music" of take that, wasn't really even music, but merely, silence... coloured in...!!!
Well, she was only a dancer in the video, but we see her here at 1:19, so basically not only Gary Barlow was in the charts back in the 90's but also his future wife Dawn once was. Lol😂👏
This is such an AWFUL representation of music in the 90s. I can't believe the Brits were so shallow, especially given how much excellent music came out of _their own country_ during the same decade. Amazing that The Prodigy even managed to enter this list TWICE given all the mellow pop crap it's surrounded by. Youngsters, don't take this at face value. The 90s were so much better.
Well, I for one, find it extraordinary that you can talk such mind-numbing garbage, attempt to make it sound plausible, think you're talking sense AND actually believe your own horseshit! Shallow? I think you'll find that "shallow," at the time, certainly wasn't confined to us "Brits!" by NO MEANS was it!!! For pitys SAKE, moron! You're talking about the charts! The charts are 'shallows' BREEDING GROUND! It's where 'shallow' begins and ends! THE WORLD OVER! Aussie-pop, Euro-pop, US-pop, latino-pop, to name but a mere few! ALL contributed mightily to "SHALLOW" for decades, not just in the 90s! Are you actually stupid and ignorant enough to be looking for "earth-shattering, life-affirming sincerity" ... in CHART MUSIC!!??? If so, then I can only imagine your opinions on most, if not ALL, other subjects in life, if not ignored entirely, are to be taken with a significant, contemptuous pinch of salt!!! ... IDIOT!!!
Ciaran green:... not particularly surprising, after all, what were nirvana? A bit of decent drum, grungy guitar and a morose, depressive, drug-ravaged suicidal lead singer, tragic what that decent musician did to himself, but whose hideous influence, I for one, frankly wouldn't want anywhere near anyone I care about!!!
Smells Like Teen Spirit - number 7 (only) in November 1991 Come as You Are - number 9 (only) in March 1992 A good half a dozen tracks hit the charts from the album Nevermind,which must have sold enormous amounts.

i must have been in a coma for 20 years, cant believe some of them are that old lol
Glad Beetlebum somehow found it’s way into the #1 spot that’s nice
Take That - Relight My Fire is missing from 1993
Some good tunes in the 90s. The 80s is my favourite decade for music but the 90s had some good stuff too, some crap also!
The Clash topped the charts on the 9th March 1991.
they f**king did! www.officialcharts.com/charts/singles-chart/19910303/7501/
Should I Stay or Should I Go? - originally a Top 20 hit in autumn 1982,as a double A side with Straight to Hell.
2nd half of 92 was when classic 90's began
First couple of years was the bowels of late 80s still farting away
Only Take That could make Hale & Pace sound great.
I love "sadeness"
What a strange decade.
Yup! Started it as a 20-yr-old, unmarried but engaged shop-assistant, Livin at home, no responsibilities, ended it as a 30-yr-old, married, business-owning dad of 5, by 3 mothers, having moved house 22 times. Busy decade!!! 😂
Strange,but I liked it.
So many childhood and school memories. Miss those days.
Mr. Blobby at number 1...what the F***!!!
1990's
USA: R&B
UK: Dance
Wasn't there another take that song that went number one, 'relight my fire' wasn't it?
Great! Would love this in a list!
1991 was a quick one - Bryan Adams was number one for nearly half the year 🤣
16 weeks from June to October,and it kept about half a dozen songs off the top. I remember a being at a friend's house and him saying "this is getting ridiculous now" when it clocked up that 16th week. The following week the DJ doing the Sunday rundown (not sure now which one) played a blinder by not giving a thing away before saying "Will Bryan Adams be number 1 for a 17th week?",then a lengthy pause,then "No!" before he played it.

Innuendo 😍
Great decade and mostly great number 1s. Takes me back to my childhood. And dodgy fashions
U S really missed out on all the Eurodance!!
But they also missed out on "Wet wet wet", so it evens out.
You missed out Prince (or 'Symbol') with 'The Most Beautiful Girl In The World' (between 'Doop' and 'Everything Changes').
Another missing one spotted,well done! April 1994.
Spice Girls Rules! #8 number 1 Hits in 90's
Nice video and fond memories, ignore the negative comments 🥰
Take that had loads
The Shamen were awesome!
While from the US chart from same time I remember almost all the songs, here I see a lot of hits I never heard although I lived in Europe. But late 90s the UK and US charts went totally separate ways anyway.
From 1997 onwards most of the songs spent just one week at number one.
Dec 1990 is interesting.... Vanillia Ice--- Cliff Richard----Iron Maiden
Interesting fact: Iron Maiden has ever only had one UK number one, Bring your Daughter to the Slaughter
Meanwhile they also had 2 number 1 albums which were Piece of Mind and The Final Frontier
ChubbyChecker182:... yes! Iron maidens contribution that month, was a charming little ditty, wasn't it...!? 😂😂😂 (I loved it, by the way!)
Mr blobby- first song I ever bought 😂 I loved Noel’s house party ❤️
The amount of covers that went to number one is a little too insane.
Big Audio Dynamite were not number one in 1991.
Must have been inserted here because of a Clash-sized copyright issue. Nearest they got was with E=MC2 making the Top 10 in the spring of 1986.
4:31 Erasure ;-)
YUK 1990S MUSIC WAS EFFING BAD !
The Fly - U2
Ended the mammoth 16-week stay at the top for Bryan Adams.
Yasmin Archer stand out for me. Oasis and Prodigy.
Most of the N.1s are great songs ...but I think you missed the N.1 of Take That with Lulu "Relight my fire"..2 weeks between....BOOM! SHAKE THE ROOM JAZZY JEFF & THE FRESH PRINCE and I'D DO ANYTHING FOR LOVE (BUT I WON'T DO THAT) MEAT LOAF
Is that so ?
That's correct - it hit number 1 in October 1993.
Med for it
Can you do number 2 and number 3 of the 90s and so on please?
9:18 best song on there no doubt about it
Blobby Rules.
Peter Andre, where are you now ?
Oh, how awful some are...
Right. I thought the the Billboard Hot 100 #1's were bad in the 90's, but this is just awful. Half of the #1's are rip-off cheesy covers.
Brate i ti volis ove pesme
@@rema8702 neke da, al mnogo je loših
Some absolute bangers too
It does seem to be an improvement over the late eighties
A slight
Steven cassidy:... in terms of no.1s, no, about even, but all in all, If you think that... you weren't there...!
Came exclusively for Blur vs Oasis drama just to realise both of them took Take That off the top spot
Yes they did! And we were all very grateful to blur and Oasis for doing so!!! You see, the "music" of take that, wasn't really even music, but merely, silence... coloured in...!!!
Michael Rawson Blur And Oasis fans unified over hatred of Take That I see
What are you talking about? Take That's music is really good!
@@michaelrawson6261 and most of their tracks are covers of other people's songs too.
Was rush an a side with should I stay should i go now?
Please do UK number 1 singles in 00’s and 10’s
Ebeneezer goode on my 4th birthday
E's Eberneezer Goode! I wish my creaky knees were as good as they were then.
11:38 that picture's from the 98 video
Fucking hell blur must’ve been quite popular if beetlebum somehow made it number 1
Big audio dynamite never number one surely!

Doop Doop
Anyone else wish Take That and Boyzone would piss off?
And Westlife.
No, they're the only good bands.
Big audio dynamite never hit number one in 1991
the 90's had some great music, but most of the no.1's were shit
Great video but you went way out of your way to find the worst possible pictures to show for a lot of these songs. I found that enjoyable.
Big audio dynamite?
I think that was an error. Should have been The Clash with Should I Stay or Should I Go.
Always the corny songs amongst the good ones. Still nothing is worse than 1989 with its Kylie, Jason, Bros and bloody Jive Bunny!!!
Agree 1989 was a let down, especially bloody Jive Bunny!
Wtf went wrong at 6:58. 🤦♀️
Well, she was only a dancer in the video, but we see her here at 1:19, so basically not only Gary Barlow was in the charts back in the 90's but also his future wife Dawn once was. Lol😂👏
This list is wrong and leaves out a bunch of stuff.
Maiden
How the fuck did Mr. Blobby get the Christmas #1 in 1993?! Take That was SO MUCH better!😍
Anything would have been better! Apart from Timmy Mallett/Bombalurina,maybe.
I cant believe KWS are here. I liked Take that, but couldnt stand the Spice girls
You should pick a better Spice Girls picture !!!
Half of Geri's head is missing.

It's interesting that there's hardly any rock songs that hit number 1 during this decade in the UK (so much for grunge).
No Nirvana? =0
In USA either, incredible 🙄

So what? Thats nothing compared to Zeppelin or Dylan. Nirvana was around for like 3 years so I get it.
Smells Like Teen Spirit - number 7 (only) in November 1991
Come as You Are - number 9 (only) in March 1992
A good half a dozen tracks hit the charts from the album Nevermind,which must have sold enormous amounts.
You can do it better
THE 90'S SUCK! EXCEPT 96&97.
