Shakespears Sister's hit "Stay" was the longest chart topper of 1992, holding onto the No 1 slot for 8 weeks.
This was followed by ABBA tribute band Björn Again releasing Erasure-ish in October, which featured covers of Erasure songs.
Originally charting in November, the song hit number 1 later that month, and stayed there until February next year.
The Wedding Present equalled the all-time record of Elvis Presley for most UK Top 30 hits in a year (12), by releasing limited edition, 10,000-copies-only 7" singles every month from January to December.
New classical works by British composers included the Flute Concerto by William Mathias and the String Quartet No.
