– Countdown to Festive Season #5: 1992 at Fades in Slowly

There was never enough hip hop in the festive 50 for either my or Peel’s liking, but when it did make it into the chart it did so in some style. For those of you who still doubt the genre, listen to this absolute classic which charted at a lowly #30 in 1992.

Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy’s Language Of Violence

Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain married Courtney Love in February, 1992, while in March, Microsoft launched the, er, crap Windows 3.1. Michael Schumacher won his first Formula One race at the Belgian Grand Prix that year and the Toronto Blue Jays became the first non-US team to win the World Series. Absolutely Fabulous aired its first episode on BBC1.

Ab Fab: The first 10 minutes

The Festive 50 had truly moved into the 90s following the ‘debacle’ of the 1991 chart (soon to be detailed at the ever marvellous Teenage Kicks blog). I believe this was the beginning of the kind of fifties that Peel wanted, very few comparatively established mainstream artists appear, the chart appearing to be a championing of the causes of the upcoming stars. Fair enough, there’s still a healthy representation of the Fall and the Wedding Present, but that’s par for the course.

For those of you who haven’t been keeping up, Steve has been doing the odd years while I’ve been doing the evens. Hence, you need to pop over to Teenage kicks. OK, I’ll make it easy for you. Here are his posts for 1977, 1979, 1981, 1983, 1985 and 1987. Back to 1992… the chart for that year was broadcast between 19th December, 1992 and 1st January, 1993. If you want to give it a listen, and I’m sure you do, you can do so here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here.

That was my nickname in the 90s, I’m sure you can guess why. I’m going to try and get my next installment out tomorrow.

Upset about 17 seconds, I must say.
