Week Ending ACT TITLE Weeks TALLY COMMENT
17 Jul 1993 Take That Pray 4 1st No 1 Most successful British boy band of the 1990s, which included Gary Barlow and Robbie Williams.
9 Oct 1993 Take That featuring Lulu Relight My Fire 2 2nd No 1 They revived this old 70s disco hit, and provided the veteran performer, Lulu, with her only No 1, nearly 30 years after her first hit (1964).
18 Dec 1993 Take That Babe 1 3rd No 1 Now firmly establish as a major act, each of their eight chart toppers (in the 90s) entered at No 1.
9 Apr 1994 Take That Everything Changes 2 4th No 1 Gary Barlow was now becoming a song writer of note, composing most of their major hits.
15 Oct 1994 Take That Sure 2 5th No 1 The start of a second run of 4 No 1s, after the relative failure of "Love Ain't Here Anymore" which peaked at No 3.
