Sometimes you have an idea and then stumble at the first hurdle. The idea to review every number 1 album in the ARIA charts from 90s, initially sounds like a solid idea for a series of articles.
But doing some research 1 I learned that the first album that was number 1 in 1990 was Jive Bunny and the Master Mixers. Jive F*kn Bunny. I’m not really sure what to say, or where to start with this album. I bet you hadn’t thought about Jive Bunny for 30 years. I certainly hadn’t.
How to describe the album? It’s a series of big band tunes that a DJ has made into one long mix. He/They (Who cares?) takes Glenn Millers “In the Mood” and mixes that into “Rock around the clock” and I imagine that goes into other songs for another 45 minutes. I could only bare listening to 15 seconds of the first song. Is it as bad as you remember? Yes. Yes, it is.
Not only was this album number 1, but it sold two times platinum in Australia (140,000 copies). I’m starting to question the sanity of my fellow citizens.
