Top act was the Wedding Present, who virtually guaranteed a high showing by releasing a single every month of the year, with seven entries. Significantly, Datblygu had the first Welsh-language entry, and seven of the tracks in the chart had never previously been played on the programme (including all the entries by Sugar, whose LP Copper Blue failed to excite John's interest to the degree that it did his listeners). Mark Whitby also notes in passing that the failure of the Fall's 'Kimble' to place higher than 34 despite John's ceaseless promotion of it was evidence of "the most obvious display of voter independence since the Stone Roses rebellion of 1989".

abstract
| - Top act was the Wedding Present, who virtually guaranteed a high showing by releasing a single every month of the year, with seven entries. Significantly, Datblygu had the first Welsh-language entry, and seven of the tracks in the chart had never previously been played on the programme (including all the entries by Sugar, whose LP Copper Blue failed to excite John's interest to the degree that it did his listeners). Mark Whitby also notes in passing that the failure of the Fall's 'Kimble' to place higher than 34 despite John's ceaseless promotion of it was evidence of "the most obvious display of voter independence since the Stone Roses rebellion of 1989". There are two long-standing anomalies to note. The track at number 43 is by Big Stick from the CD titled 'Drag Racing Underground', not vice versa: and the number 25 entry is by VR (aka Guru Josh) remixed by Dr. Devious. Had John played the 40-minute version of number 20, it would have been the longest track ever to appear on the chart: as it is, he restricts himself to the A-side of the 12-inch.
