"Love Is All Around"

Love Is All Around single

In May of 1994 WetWetWet released the single "Love Is All Around" which had featured in the soundtrack of the smash hit film Four Weddings And A Funeral. The track had been originally written and recorded by ex Troggs member Reg Presley before the band were asked to cover it. The single became as much of a success as the feature film it was recorded for and went on to stay at the number 1 position in the UK charts for 15 weeks, the longest period ever achieved by any British act, becoming the second biggest-selling single of all time in the process. The band used the title of the song as the title for their summer tours "Summer Of Love Is All Around" and "All Around And In The Crowd", both of which were sell outs.

"Picture This"

In April of 1995 Picture This was released and the band included the song "Love Is All Around" on the album which went straight in to the number 1 slot in the UK. The band released "Julia Says" which although beautifully arranged, was concerned with possessiveness. The band followed this up with "Don’t Want To Forgive Me Now" which was released on June 5th and went straight to number one in the UK. The next single release was on the 18th September shortly after the band started the first leg of their Picture This Rest Of The World Tour. The single went into the UK singles chart at number 10 and eventually reached number 7. The band the released "She’s All On My Mind" and finally "Morning" in November 1995 and March 1996 respectively.
