The Verve were one of the big names from the Britpop movement, but they only had 6 Top 40 hits in the 90s. After the band split up Richard Ashcroft started a solo career which resulted in him having 9 Top 40 hits.
This was the 9th and final one of those Top 40 hits. It's that familiar story of "Break The Night With Colour", the lead single off the "Keys to the World" album being his joint highest charting single making number 3. Then the album comes out and another two Top 40 hits follow which don't hit the same heights in the singles chart.
In reality though the fans were really wanting music from The Verve rather than Richard Ashcroft solo records. Their wishes came true the following year when The Verve reunited and then in 2008 returned to the charts with their final hit "Love Is Noise".
