Thank you for informing me. Wouldn’t have known.
Their first album (Disgraceful) was very good. It was produced by Stephen Hague who had worked with the Pet Shop Boys, New Order and Dubstar’s label mates, Blur.
About time too 🙂
I adored them and still do.
There’s lots to like @ViewerUpNorth
‘For the Dead’ is on their EP/ b-sides / live album called ‘To See The Lights’.
I don’t use Spotify but if you do, I’m pretty sure their stuff is on there now. Much of their work is on YouTube too.
It’s gorgeous 😊

They actually pop up 'original presenter: Noel Edmonds' during that on either the first or second episode. Thank god they decided to not do that in the following ones.
I checked and it was on the 13th September episode when Dennis Pennis introduces Dancing Queen as that show's Flashback - The caption says its from the episode of the 16th Sept 1976 original presenter Noel Edmonds - I don't know why the caption needed to say it was presented by Noel as he did not turn up in the show.
BIB: That was exactly his technique. Capturing a band performing in a room and the ambience.
He didn't like being credited on albums at all. If he was credited, his preferred description of his work was "Recording Engineer", as he detested the term "Producer".
He also refused to take royalties from artists he worked with, preferring instead to charge a flat-rate fee for the work he had done, even when he worked with Nirvana on In Utero.
Wonderwall has lost its status as the biggest selling single NOT to get to number 1 - that honour has now passed to Mr Brightside by the Killers.

Because it’s a good song although personally I think the killers have had better songs.
Yes I'll third what's been said here. He had that one big hit (largely thanks to the advert), thought he was the new David Bowie and promptly disappeared up his own arse.
I'd say 1996 and 1997 were my favourite years of the nineties as it seemed there was room for everyone from The Spice Girls to Radiohead. iIt did seem as well the cointry had finally shaken off the hair shirt of the early nineties recession and was feeling more confident and optimistic. At a personal level, my life was getting better.
Is this just based on number of weeks on the top 100 (408)? What was the highest Brightside reached?
It must be difficult to equate with Wonderwall with streaming involved as well as physical sales, I thought it was based on weeks at number 2 maybe?
hair shirt?
In terms of pure sales, Wonderwall has 1.5 million sales - when the list of the biggest sellers in the UK based on sales only was last updated in November 2023, Wonderwall was the number 34 biggest seller of all time.
Mr Brightside has 1.066 million paid for sales and is number 143 on the list of best sellers based on pure sales.
However people don't buy music in the same numbers they did years ago - nowadays people stream music instead - the weekly chart each Friday is heavily weighted towards streaming because that's how people now mostly consume music - on the latest chart week, the total number of paid for sales was just 297,644.
Taking physical sales and streaming into account, Mr Brightside is the number 3 best seller in the UK but the biggest seller by a song that didn't get to number 1. I am guessing that the top 2 would be by Elton John and Band Aid.
As for the songs chart performance, the song debuted in June 2004 and its chart run was 10-26-38-60 and that was that.
In 2005 the chart started to include downloads and in 2014 streaming was added to the mix - over the years Mr Brightside has benefited from downloads and streams to rack up 154 weeks in the top 75 and over 400 weeks in the top 100.
It's still in the chart today - currently number 71 in May 2024.
It's actually Ed Sheeran at #1 now. I think it's a bit daft how they add it all up though. I accept that the weekly chart has to be calculated using streams and sales, but adding them together to come up with a total "sales figure" is silly. They should just keep the all-time sales & streams lists separate. You cannot compare streams to when 5 million people went out and paid £3.99 (or whatever) for the Elton John single.

Not the fashion article sometimes worn by punk rockers, but an expression for a hard economic time like the early nineties( the hair shirt of recessoion) as a hair shirt is a prickly uncomfortable piece of clothing.
