How bout "
Great Number Ones from the Grunge/Post Modern Era"? We could do a neat 40, starting with the week when Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" hit the top spot all the way through the week when Kurt Cobain died.
Or we could do 65, ending with the very last week of 1995, which marks the death of grunge and the rise and takeover of Britpop as Oasis went to #1 with "Wonderwall"?
