Finally get some lowdown entries!

ITV Chart Show Rock Chart (28th April 1990)

and hello to grunge! Kerrang! not up to speed on the debut of Soundgarden with Hands All Over (billed incorrectly as Sound Garden). [Nirvana and Mudhoney had both previously appeared on The Chart Show's Indie Chart]

Hi, I have spent many hours searching in the British Library for Nirvana chart information in old publications that are not online. Do you know if there is any footage online for Nirvana's appearance on The Chart Show's Indie Chart ? And was this for the Sliver single or Blew EP ? Thanks.

Edit: no worries I found it for Sliver on Youtube. Interesting that it's peak is number 5 which is different to the Melody Maker, Music Week and NME indie chart peaks for this song. Although none of those mags were using the MRIB chart for their indie charts at that point, if that is what ITV's Chart Show was using ?
