Especially as every station was showing rolling CNN or similar coverage all night

Parachute by Something Happens also a victim of that madness

What’s this song called again? :pac:

I don't want to jinx it but there hasn't been any Jason Donovan and associated bollocks so far.

And Rick just appeared.

I've no recollection of this Queen song getting to number one at all

dasdog

I'd completely forgotten about this which made a mid chart entry this week using vocal outtakes.

A "Thin Lizzy" played the SFX in 1991 which I went as I was too young to see the band when they were together.

Same here weirdly, despite distincly remembering Iron Maidens TYDTS reaching no 1 just a couple of weeks earlier for the fact that it was so out of kilter.

Maiden's "Bring your daughter" and Megadeth's "No More Mister Nice Guy" were reasons why I turned my back on metal and delved into electronica and is why Nirvana will soon appear.

I do. I was and still am a huge fan. I think it was announced on the radio that week that the new video would be on TOTP and that the song was in a similar vein to Bohemian Rhapsody. I do remember being super excited by it. I was a metaller and was well impressed by the heaviness after the orchestral bit. Ran out and bought the single in Virgin that Saturday.

ednwireland

sigrid shouldn't really be the sort of thing I like but it's just so catchy

loyatemu

this was an era of really low single sales, both the Maiden and Queen songs got to the top on paltry numbers. I don't think either got a lot of radio play at the time but the bands had big fanbases to go out and buy the single in the first week.

The Maiden single only spent 5 weeks on the chart, 2 of them at no. 1. "Innuendo" was in the charts for 6 weeks, compare that to "I want to break free" which only reached no. 3 but was on the chart for 15 weeks.

Coming in the air tonight was very inappropriate when it was that Cork radio presenter on a plane having a knuckle shuffle..

I'd love if there was a story behind that as it sounds like an Akai S1000.

Hotblack Desiato

Maybe, I don't know, but I spent way too much time late 80s / early 90s when I should have been at lectures in the snooker hall where part of The Commitments was filmed, and they had poker machines that sounded exactly like that...

And here's a parrot auditioning for AC/DC
