More lovely falsetto and cool attitude here, showcasing the diversity of new album Wonderland. Great sensitive, soulful tune that pulls at the heart strings - result.

Up tempo blast see the Charlatans emerge in 2001 sounding fresh and important. Demanding chorus and female backing vocals combine with Tims brand new falsetto vocal to really freshen things up - good move!

This is the band Bob Dylanned up to the max, and its country genius all the way. Great musicianship and Tim gets his harmonica out for the first time! Great song that showcases even greater lyrical progression.

Mark Collins guitar playing is the revelation here, intricate and sophisticated this is classy stuff, great sentiment and vocal performance and a measure of how far they have come.

Monster! A massive bass heavy juggernaught that soars to new heights. An atmospheric masterpiece that demands to be played loud, loud, loud, the famous Blunt bass rumbles like an earthquake and Tim wonders what we do with our lives - cool!

Wistful big tune title track from the album that sounds even better as a single now its freed from following One To Another! Outstanding song and one of many highlights from the album.

Headlong roller coaster adventure, brilliant upbeat joy of life lyrics combine in noisy rockout splendour - amazing. Third UK top 10 single in a row and more evidence of a band achieving greatness. Hot stuff baby.

Hey Country boys and girls! Things just keep getting better - another corker, tinged with country melody and warm up lifting lyrics, underpinned with sweet backing Hammond which drives this song along. Top stuff once again. Another UK top 5 hit.

Yippee! They are on a serious roll - this is magnificent - an instant smash the Charlies return with the first offering from Tellin' Stories and its an absolute stunner of a tune, it's loud proud and it rocks louder than anything they've ever done - amazing. The Biggest hit yet - no3 in the UK singles charts!

Fantastic summertime scorcher sees a return to the radio playlists and this tune becomes an instant favourite. Delicious warm melodies and a catchy chorus see the band catapulted back into the limelight. Britpop is happening and the Charlatans join in the fun.

A double A side, their first and its good times all the way as Just Lookin' could be their best offering yet, real depth, belief and maturity and you have to do as Tim says and "Stand with your hands in the air" when this comes on! Bullet Comes is a big dancey thrill fest too.

Something's happening, there's a new vibe around and the Charlies decide to put this single on the streets way ahead of the next album and you can see why, it signals renewed energy and belief, it's a wake up call to the sleeping generation. Tim sings "you're still in and your so boring, I can hear you snoring" and you know that they are saying something! Great Hammond heavy, Who influenced song that re-demonstrates the confidence first shown in 89 - yay! This feels like the start of something again!

A stripped down and natural, free sounding tune that was a radio hit waiting to happen. All good feeling and intentions, not a hit but a cult smash in its own right - good stuff!

Limited edition single, deleted one week after release, wonderfully assured and written with a Rob in jail house rock sentiment. Loud proud and classic.

First track to come from Up To Our Hips and it's a lovely, easy, feeling groovy song that just demands to be played again and again, another killer single. Rob plays Top of the Pops the same week that he's released from Jail - what a way to come back! Great, great tune.

Slightly remixed album track that feels smooth sophisticated and classy - misses the 40 - but it's a sign of the times - tough times lay ahead - great tune but everybody's buying Nirvana records now!

Wow! The Charlies return with their first single from their second album and we have vicious chopping Hammond everywhere, possibly their finest single so far. Robs hard Hammond embellished with wonderful vocals from Tim ensure a classic song that is still a crowd pleaser in 2001.

Shifting direction see more piano used to gorgeous effect to produce a little corker of a tune - not a chart smash but in the top 30. The B-side Occupation H.Monster is also fantastic.

Stand alone 4 track ep, that proves the band have choruses galore, another top 20 hit results and the ep includes the classic b-sides "Way Up There" and "Happen to Die" which are equally as ace as the title track!

Another supercool groover that fits in with the sound of Madchester perfectly, it shoots into the top 20 and consolidates the bands position in division one of planet pop.

Yes, this is it! A perfect shimmering pop sing along roller coaster of an anthem, perfectly formed and ready to set the charts alight and what's more it does! The Charlatans enter the top 40 for the first time and not just that - the top 10! A massive hit that launches the band into the big time.

Dramatic, super confident, retro hammond rush sees Indie hopefuls the Charlatans enter the fray and wadda ya know, it goes straight to the top of the then important Indie chart! A song that screams "listen up, we have arrived!"
