Ladies and gentlemen....the 1990s ILX SINGLES POLL RESULTS

see it had been my understanding that it wasn't, that uk dance actually did chart/get airplay in the uk.

apparently i was wrong!

I think it did get chart/airplay in the UK, but nothing close to that of hip-hop in the US (i.e. it's still a mismatch).

I mentioned the various club comps because I believe they were the biggest cash cows (and chart successes) of the UK club scene, but if I'm way off in that assumption then someone please clarify.

Martin - my early rap chronologies are all hazy. You're quite right of course.

I don't know enough about USA charts to comment on MindInRewind's comparison. Certainly there was a lot of dance in the charts here, though obv. daytime radio tended towards the poppier stuff.

I've been listening to "Pretty Fly (for a White Guy)" and blount's comparison was brilliant (even though he took it back later). This I do get.

All the whining ruined this thread, I hope people eventually realize.
