Wasn't it around this time that Peel started thinking about abandoning the whole festive fifty idea altogether, accusing his audience (quite rightly) of being just as conservative (in its own way) as listeners of 'mainstream' radio. Certainly when The Wedding Present get to occupy 4 of the top ten slots, while Public Enemy's Rebel Without a Pause only makes number 14, it becomes clear that we're dealing with utter morons.
