UK Number 40s: Little Angels - Product Of The Working Class (1991)

 


I'll begin with an interesting chart stat. There are two 1990 Top 40 debutants who had both a Top 40 hit every year in the early 90s (i.e. 1990-1994) and a number one album in the early 90s. One was Mariah Carey, the other as you may have now guessed is Little Angels.

The fact that this record, their 4th Top 40 hit made the Top 40 would probably be considered a success. The band formed in 1984 but had to wait until 1990 for their first Top 40 hit, which was "Radical Your Lover" that made 34. The only hit prior to this to break the Top 30 was 2nd Top 40 hit "She's A Little Angel". This was the 2nd single taken from the "Young God" album.

This would be the final Top 40 hit to be written by all the band, future singles would be written by singer Toby Jepson with Andy Paul occasionally joining him.

The highest they got in the singles chart was number 12 with "Womankind" which came from their number one album "Jam". This would prove to be their final studio album and they called it a day in 1994 after 10 Top 40 singles, 8 of which charted outside the Top 20.
