A couple of months ago in amongst a bundle of mixed old skool, I picked up a copy of #1 by Format on ESP Records from 1991. I looked it up on discogs and 99 members wanted that tune. Which got me thinking … what is the most wanted slice of dance vinyl (according to discogs)? Once upon a time they used to publish this information, but not any more … so it’s time to start digging about ….
