The Boo Radleys’ third album Wake Up! reached the number one spot in the UK album charts. Although their previous albums received critical acclaim, this was the album which opened the doors to a much bigger audience. One of the factors was the release of the sunny Britpop Top 10 single Wake Up Boo!. It became their biggest hit internationally and it was the most-played song on the UK radio in 1995. The second an third single, Find The Answer Within and It’s Lulu, also charted in the UK Top 40. Different styles of British pop can be found in their music, but most of the darkness of their previous records are replaced by the grand pop with big choruses and bright melodies. 

'Their previous album, Giant Steps (1993), had won Wallasey’s Boo Radleys copious critical acclaim to add to their cult fanbase. With the album that followed, the gold-selling Wake Up! (1995) they reached their commercial peak, topping the UK album chart. Its lead single ‘Wake Up Boo!’ was their biggest by far and appeared to capture the mood of the times, although looking back 30 years on its writer Martin Carr declared: “I tried to have nothing to do with what was being called Britpop. Our whole career was spent trying not to 'fit in’”. Still, their mastery of pure pop (with obvious ‘60s influences), taking in psychedelia, close harmonies, big choruses, acoustic material and more was fully displayed. Marketing activity.
