Summary

The first year of the 1990s saw a total of 17 singles top the chart. The first was "Hangin' Tough" by the boyband New Kids on the Block, which became the group's second chart-topper. The single set the record for lowest first-week sales for a number 1, with only 28,000 copies sold. Although January is usually a low sales month due to it being post-Christmas season, the vinyl single was in severe decline in the UK at this time and had been so since the late 1980s, so this record breaking was not a huge surprise.

The year was very active for the boyband. They released a total of 3 albums and 6 singles (not including "Hangin' Tough") during the course of the year.

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, which became her fourth number 1 single in the UK and the final number one for production team SAW. Her album release for the year Rhythm of Love made number 9 on the UK Albums Chart and was Kylie's declaration of independence from the moment the video to "Better the Devil You Know" was released.

A problem occurred 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.
