I had to look up why Saint Etienne wasn't on my 1991 playlist. Did I somehow miss it? No, it was out in 1990 and scraped into the top 100. I do however recall at the time I didn't think much of them until "You're In A Bad Way" which by contrast was a massive hit in my chart.

It is their best song by far and probably in my top 10 of the 90s, what do you think of it now, isn't that more important, I am charting so many things that passed me by or I have to grown like more. These 1991 charts are probably quite different from my ones at the time.

The point is that when my "other" retro chart reaches 1990 it will chart then. In spite of the fact I'm not posting that many, I am a fair lot further than 5th March on my 1983 playlist (about 2 months later) just been lazy in posting them up. I'm only charting songs once which explains why Zoe is also not in my chart now (it reached #4 in October 1990).

"Only Love Can Break Your Heart" entered the UK chart on 7 July 1990, which is just after I started the new policy so it should have got in (as 30 June) but it was so overwhelmed I'm not sure I pulled everything in on those two weeks, but it will "come around" next time, and the "merge" will happen further up.

I was expecting to find Neil Young's version around October 1970 but it isn't showing on my playlist. Some of my playlists around that week are so short I wonder if I actually included the US chart at all those weeks. I normally did so not sure why I'd have missed them over that period. (And his music was still on Spotify when I was doing that year, not that it would have made a major difference). I don't think it would have been a big hit though.
