Description
In 1994, Wet Wet Wet had their biggest hit, a cover version of the Troggs single “Love Is All Around”, which was a huge international success and spent fifteen weeks atop the British charts. The week before it could have equalled the record for the longest-standing Number 1 single, held by Bryan Adams’ “(Everything I Do) I Do It for You”, Pellow insisted on its deletion (he was bored with its chart domination and overheard people complaining about it).[6] However, it would have not broken the record. There were still enough copies in the shops, and the song slipped to #2 the week after its deletion. In any event, it remained in the Top 40 for the remainder of the year. “Love Is All Around” was used on the soundtrack to the film Four Weddings and a Funeral. In the official UK best-selling singles list issued in 2002, it was placed 12th. The song also featured on the 1995 album Picture This, their sixth, which also spawned the hit single “Julia Says”. The album, although well-received by critics, would ultimately live in the shadow of “Love Is All Around”.
