Blue Room, Primary, 1 of 5

"Blue Room" is the longest single to ever appear on the UK Singles Chart, at 39 minutes and 58 seconds. The Orb caused controversy when appearing on Top of the Pops to promote the single. Instead of performing, Alex Paterson and Kris Weston, the latter holding a toy sheep, played a chess-like game whilst passing a globus cruciger back and forth.
