UK Number 40s: Morcheeba Trigger Hippie (1996)

 


Morcheeba are a pretty well known group but their Top 40 career would suggest otherwise. This was their first Top 40 hit but was their 3rd actual single. It was also their only Top 40 hit from their debut album "Who Can You Trust?".

Normally an album can hinder chart success, but the album had been released just before this single so if anything it helped it given it was the highest charting single from it.

In 1996 Morcheeba hadn't quite reached the height of their success yet, it was more around the turn of the century when they became more of a household name. 

It was in the year 2000 that Morcheeba would release their 11th single, but just their 3rd to make the Top 40 with "Rome Wasn't Built In A Day". This was their highest charting single making number 34.
