The success in the UK Singles and Albums charts of a number of indie acts associated with a "scene" was unprecedented at the time. "Step On" and "Kinky Afro" by the Happy Mondays both made number 5 in the singles chart, whilst James scored the biggest Madchester hit, making number 2 in 1991 with a re-recording of "Sit Down". In the albums chart, the Happy Mondays made number 4 with "Pills 'n' Thrills and Bellyaches", and the Inspiral Carpets got to number 2 with "Life". The Charlatans were the only Madchester band to take the number 1 spot, with the album "Some Friendly" in the autumn of 1990.
