#OnThisDay #chartfact 26.12.93: Mr Blobby, the UK’s Christmas no 1 single for 1993, begins the last of its three non-consecutive weeks at the top. The polka-dotted character rose to fame on Noel Edmonds’ @BBCOne series Noel’s House Party, and he’ll go on to inspire the Blobbyland theme park in Somerset. In 2013, the Daily @Telegraph’s @ruhawksley writes: “[Mr Blobby] set the bar so low with this bizarre single, its hard to imagine that it could ever be usurped.” An earlier @hmvtweets poll names this the worst festive song of all time. #UKTop3 #OnThisDay 26.12.93 1 Mr Blobby, Mr Blobby youtube/watch?v=h37KQu64RY4 2 @takethat, Babe 3 Chaka Demus & Pliers, Twist And Shout
