With Adamski featuring Seal, Sinead O'Connor, Primal Scream, En Vogue and Snap!.

Compilation of the best performances from 1990 in the Top of the Pops studio, including Adamski featuring Seal, Sinead O'Connor, Primal Scream, En Vogue and Snap!.

The start of a new decade - and a new era - as hip-hop, dance and indie begin to find a place in the mainstream charts. Top of the Pops continued to present the biggest stars every Thursday to the British public, with lots of dry ice, hand-held cameras and a small but noisy studio audience.

This compilation celebrates performances of some of the biggest hits of 1990, including breakout appearances by Adamski featuring Seal, Vanilla Ice, Beats International, EMF, The KLF, Primal Scream and Snap!. Plus plenty of girl power from Betty Boo, Sinead O’Connor, Maria McKee, En Vogue, Kylie and Tina Turner.
