Summary

The first year of the 1990s saw 17 number 1 singles. The first was Hangin' Tough by the boyband New Kids on the Block. Due to January traditionally being a low sales month, the song set the record for the lowest selling number 1 ever in it's first week at the top, selling 28,000 copies. This record would remain until October 2004. The next #1 was Kylie Minogue's cover of the Little Anthony & the Imperials song Tears On My Pillow, taken from the film The Delinquents. This would be her last #1 for 10 years, and the last #1 produced by Stock Aitken Waterman.

A problem occured in September when two records - The Steve Miller Band's The Joker and Deee-Lite's Groove Is In the Heart - both tied for the number 1 position, selling exactly the same amount of copies. As the rules stated that in the event of this happening, the single which had climbed the highest would be the number 1, The Joker, re-issued after being featured in a Levi's advert, won out (having climbed five places instead of three). Due to the controversy that followed, with some saying that it was unfair to let a re-issue of an old song overtake the debut single of a new group, the rules were changed so that records would now be allowed to tie.
