Long live the CD-5! Death to the cassingle. Damn these coke head record execs were geniuses. No wonder Napster came along.

Never really saw to many of the CD-5 (actually about 4.75in) in North America. I remember seeing and owning several CD-3s which were obviously 3in in diameter. Lots of cd players couldn’t play the CD-3 without a special adaptor to hold it in place in the cd drawer. Talk about a stupid design.Was that this?
These never caught on in the west but they were a bit more popular in Japan.Mini CD - Wikipedia

Interesting insight into the methodology here, with the different stations ranked. Radio certainly isn't driving sales and discovery anymore, if anything the script has flipped and they are programming to the rankings I would think.

It was certainly more akin to the cmj methodology but I think by this time top 40 radio wasn’t necessarily dictating trends anymore.

I still love that Adam Ant song. Another one I had on cassette single.
Surprised by how long "Cuts You Up" has lasted, considering I don't remember it from back then, and I mostly listened to alternative radio at the time. I didn't discover it until much later.
I'm sure "Enjoy The Silence" is coming for that number one spot though

The Beavis & Butthead version of this is the definitive version.

"Is that that Iggy Pop dude? No, this guy could kick Iggy Pop's Ass!"
