The Gold Rush
@goldrushmwr.bsky.social
@hodders.bsky.social presents 2 hours of classic UK chart goodness from the 1960s to the 1990s alternate Sundays from 5pm GMT on @madwaspradiomwr.bsky.social. Repeated 2am GMT Tuesday and 3pm GMT Thursday #GRMWR
It’s 1989 on Sunday’s Gold Rush, and *what* a chart to choose from, even below the Top 40. And soppy, Gilles romantic as Sam is, one of the finest duets to each #2 in his opinion. 5pm on Sunday, you know it makes sense. #GRMWR #MadWaspRadio

Max Martin can write a gem, that's for sure. This, I Want It That Way; ...Baby One More Time, to name but a few. #GRMWR
October 19, 2025 at 5:49 PM
The Backstreet Boys are down 2 places to #6 with As Long as You Love Me, having entered the chart and peaked at #3. #GRMWR #MadWaspRadio

Ash kick off the Top 10 with A Life Less Ordinary New at #10, from the film of the same name and with Danny Boyle having asked the band to do a song for it. #GRMWR #MadWaspRadio
October 19, 2025 at 5:40 PM
Now for a one hit wonder and how! Jimmy Ray is a New Entry at #13 with Are You Jimmy Ray? It also made the same position in the US and got to the heights of #2 in Canada. #GRMWR #MadWaspRadio
October 19, 2025 at 5:32 PM
Propellerheads and David Arnold are down 7 places to #14 with On Her Majesty's Secret Service, which your host recalls being in the rotation at Laser Quest among other belters. The full 9-minute version is even better! #GRMWR #MadWaspRadio
October 19, 2025 at 5:27 PM
Primal Scream are a New Entry with Burning Wheel at #17, but will only stay in the chart for a fortnight. #GRMWR #MadWaspRadio
October 19, 2025 at 5:23 PM

Erratum: It's 200,000 sales to get Silver from the boffins at BPI. #GRMWR

Into the Top 25 we head. Louise is down 6 to #21 with Arms Around the World, having reached #4. Surprisingly for a single that charted so high, it doesn't even have Silver certification! #GRMWR #MadWaspRadio
October 19, 2025 at 5:11 PM
Back to some German Eurodance, 2 Eivissa are down 5 to #27 with Oh La La La, having peaked at #13 in the UK, #2 in Italy and topping the Spanish singles chart. #GRMWR #MadWaspRadio
October 19, 2025 at 5:04 PM

October 19, 2025 at 5:01 PM
Belle & Sebastian are a New Entry with their EP 3..6..9 Seconds of Light at #32, peaking there in a 3-week run. La Pastie de la Bourgeoisie is the track you're hearing from it. #GRMWR #MadWaspRadio
