In the 90s, alongside undeniable classics like “Nothing Compares 2U” and Britney’s “…Baby One More Time,” the UK charts threw up some truly left-field number ones. This video dives into ten of the era’s weirdest chart-toppers—from Iron Maiden’s banned-at-the-time metal anthem and Enigma’s Gregorian-house mashup, to Mr Blobby, the Teletubbies theme and Cliff Richard’s “Millennium Prayer”—explaining how outlandish or uncommercial tracks somehow captured the nation’s record-buying fancy.
Structured into bite-sized, timestamped segments (think “Gregorian House,” “Soul Legend in a Cartoon” and “Film Director’s Pop Career”), each chapter uncovers backstories, trivia and fact-checked insights on how these genre-bending oddities climbed to No 1 against all odds.
