This is a summary of 1992 In Music in the United Kingdom , including the official charts from that year. SUMMARY 1992 was a bleak time for the UK Singles Chart , with sales at a very low level. Due to several long chart runs, only 12 singles topped the chart this year (not counting the Queen single, which was a holdover from Christmas 1991 ), the lowest amount since 1962 , which also saw 12. In addition, none of them only lasted a week - all lasted at least two, the first time this had happened since 1971 . The year was good for '' album reached #1 for a week in September. September also saw The Shamen attract controversy with the Rave song " Ebeneezer Goode ", which, though apparently a song about a fictional character, contained many jokey allusions to the drug Ecstasy , including the chorus "Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode, he's Ebeneezer Goode" (which sounded like "E's are good, E's are good", 'E' being a slang term for Ecstasy). The controversy ensured the song reached number 1 and stayed there for four weeks. The biggest selling single of the year, and also the only one to sell over a million, was Whitney Houston 's cover of " I Will Always Love You ", taken from the film '' The Bodyguard ''. Originally charting in November, the song hit number 1 later that month, and stayed there until February next year.
