Wedding Present: Festive Fifty Entries

From John Peel Wiki

[edit] Criteria

  • This is a list of the Wedding Present's Festive Fifty entries. Their prodigious tally of 45 entries with 43 different song titles is exceeded only by the Fall. Their most successful year was 1992, with seven entries, including one in the top 5. (This was undoubtedly due to their policy that year of releasing a single each month. Note that all of these were reissued in the same year on Hit Parade Volumes 1 & 2 (BMG).)
  • The source is included where announced by JP: where it is not, an educated guess has been made based on the recording available at the time. In two cases ('Dalliance' and 'Take Me'), since the two entries are of the same song but in different recordings, each is recorded as a separate entry.
