Top singles from the past

9 March 2026

Former punk rebels THE CLASH (1976–1986) scored their only
number one hit in the UK today 35 years ago, on 9 March 1991,
with the Mick Jones-written gem SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO.

The single was first released in May 1982.
It peaked at #17 in Great Britain.

When re-released in February 1991, for a Levi’s jeans
commercial it went on to become their one and only
#1 UK topper.

RIP Joe Strummer.
You should have stayed.
