1991 - How it all began

1991 > How it all began

Chesney's career took off in 1991 when he stared in the film 'Buddy's Song' alongside Roger Daltrey & Michael Elphick. He played a young boy called 'Buddy Clark' who claws his way up the treacherous ladder of the pop world with the help of Terry his dad played by Roger Daltrey. Terry is a dodgy dealer who wants the best for his family but finds it had to toe the line.

During the entire nineties, out of approximately 50,000 releases, only 13 of these spent more than 5 weeks at No.1. The other seven that make up the Top Twenty for the entire decade, all of which spent exactly 5 weeks at No.1 include the Fugees (Killing Me Softly), Cher (It's In His Kiss), Elton John (Sacrifice/Healing Hands), Queen (Bohemian Rhapsody/These Are The Days Of Our Lives) and an 19 year old Chesney Hawkes with a song called 'The One and Only'. This made Chesney's record the twentieth most successful release of the entire decade.
