Out of interest I checked to see how well the band fared in their Indie days, and not surprisingly their output dominated the UK Indie chart. Here's the lowdown. The first number is the chart position. The second is the number of weeks in the chart. The date is the entry.

Singles

DEATH VALLEY '69 4 8 3/8/85

HALLOWEEN / FLOWER (12" only) 4 14 18/1/86

STAR POWER 4 9 11/10/86

MASTER DIK 3 7 6/2/88


Albums

BAD MOON RISING 14 4 13/4/85

E.V.O.L. 2 16 31/5/86

SISTER 1 18 6/6/87

SONIC YOUTH 25 2 5/9/87

SONIC DEATH: EARLY SONIC YOUTH - LIVE 1981-3 9 7 9/7/88

DAYDREAM NATION 1 27 29/10/88

It reached No. 9 and remained in the charts for 7 weeks. It's an easy mistake to make as I haven't put it all together very well.

The band have a history in the UK Indie charts to be envied. All their singles and three albums making the top 5. Two of those albums at No. 1. They really took the UK by storm in their Indie days.

It would be interesting to see how the band fared in the mainstream charts when they turned major, or "sold out".
