The new UK Top 40 for January 16, 1994.
D:Ream depose Chaka Demus from the top spot, while Tori Amos is the highest new entry?
Any favourites or songs you can't stand?
Found something remarkable (and also quite sad).
In 1997, Wired published "The Long Boom", a hyper-optimistic article about how we'd achieve Utopia by 2020.
The authors included notes on some "scenario spoilers"—negative events that might send is in a worse direction.
...and those spoilers turned out to be almost spookily accurate.

#90s song of the day
🎵 Positive Gang — Sweet Freedom
📆 Number 36 in the charts on April 14, 1993
The kind of tacky, dumbass, novelty rave record that was popular before 1993. I kind of miss them.

🎵 The Prodigy—Wind It Up
📆 Number 12 in the charts on April 11, 1993
The final single from The Prodigy Experience. By now, the band (or Liam Howlett anyway) were already hard at work on the follow-up, Music For The Jilted Generation.
