In late May, Wet Wet Wet reached number 1 with Love Is All Around, from the film Four Weddings and a Funeral. It would remain at number 1 for fifteen weeks, the second longest consecutive run at #1 ever in the UK Singles Chart, and become the biggest selling single of the year.

MuSICA Research Notes: V I, I 2, Fall 1994 (4944 words)
Music is widely believed to have many benefits for children beyond those within the realm of music itself.
Their conclusions are based on widespread musical skills in non-Western cultures, the strong musical abilities of western students lacking a musical education, the lack of childhood indicators of adult musical success, the thousands of hours of practice required to attain skill, and the beneficial environmental effects of early music exposure to infants and young children.
While the authors acknowledge that a child, or older music student, who is pronounced to have talent by senior musicians and music education might find this pronouncement to be motivating, others who do not receive this appellation of worth are less likely to undergo the rigors of study and endless hours of practice.
