Can someone tell me how this song charted at #4 on Billboard 100 but almost never gets played on radio these days and is widely not even remembered in Pop music culture?
The Brit-pop-alternative-dance sound of the early '90s has been pushed aside because it was too unique to fit alongside other trends of that decade. It wasn't grunge or "modern alternative."

@@NJGuy1973 Yeah Grebo didn't really fit in with anything else in the early 90's once alternative music really broke either in UK or USA though I think Ned's Atomic Dustbin should have still done. Blood Brain Volume is really fucking good and kept their sound current. Hell that albums still holds up fucking well.
Just one week at number 4 then plummeted down the charts after a few weeks of steady progress from coming in in the 80s. It was number 4 the weekend of 9th November 1991
@@NJGuy1973 It just hasn't aged well. It's a sound very much of it's time (which is perfectly good). EMF's 'Unbelievable' which is in the same genre has aged better so is better remembered. Not necessarily better but more memorable
I luv them. Their music helped me through college eeven with mental illness ...the music was better therapy for me such as great music such as Jesus Jones. Go now and have a Happy Daze❤😊
I was absolutely obsessed with this band. I had every cassette and a VHS tape of them playing. I would watch it everyday after school. Mike Edwards was supposed to be my husband 😂
but it's screwed up in the 90's because this song only went to #30 in airplay and #67 in sales...so no idea how it went to #4, although you're correct that it did...based on those numbers it should've barely made the top 40 if at all...
@@user-tb6iq4lb8g good ol payola! Either that or they were counting its plays & sales based on how the full album did? Which, no doubt, a lot of people got sucked into buying based on the “strength” of Right Here Right Now
@@user-tb6iq4lb8g are you sure it only hit #30 in radio airplay? I just listened to a Rick Dees top 40 from this weekend in 1991 and they were at #11 climbing up 3 spots from the week before.

This song is so underrated! I bet if I check back in a few years it will be in the millions. This song was before it's time and is complete nostalgia ✌
never heard any of this group's music beyond "right here right now" but i love this if only for the clothing nostalgia. also i don't know why or how i never noticed how fucking hot the lead singer is until now decades later.
Loved these guys from Liquiizer, this song and video, nailed it for me. Why isn't it played more? Mike Edwards, guy thought out of the box. Still sounds fresh 1990!!! Thank for posting!!!
So many good songs are "put out to pasture" and forgotten. That's been going on since the 60s especially with songs that chart peaked between 20 to 40 (and lower) Fortunately many of these gems have since been rediscovered thru TV commercials, films or somewhere on the internet. This one went to #4 on the hot 100 and should have never been forgotten by any means. Me, I bought records thru the years so nothing is forgotten here.

There’s actually two versions of this video. Watching this I was thinking this isn’t the video I remember. Maybe much music and a different version because I did find the other version right below this one. The one with the all white background and they spell out do you feel real in what I believe must be sign language
nineteen ninety something.. house party.. back garden.. acid.. hearing this for the first time.. pretty sure i feel real.. but now that you brought it up..

This group only hit the US top 40 twice in 1991 but both times they went to the top 5. This peaked at #4. Love it to no end. ("Right Here Right Now" went to #2 a few months earlier)
This was my first 7”, after Smash Hits gave away a JJ badge. They divided my friendship group and I’m glad I stuck to my guns. Never saw them in the early 90s but have seen them twice in 2018 and 2021. Their sound bridged several genres and they were streets ahead of their time.
2024 and still listening ! Great song!

Gosh I wish it was the early 90's all over again, I feel that was the last truly great era of pop music.
Back then you had to pay your dues and make it at radio to be successful. Now you can just post a video and go viral.
Yeah ! Would have to say those would be my Golden Oldies lolol MTV,S 120 MINUTES. THANK GOODNESS FOR YOU TUBE. HA! 80'S and 90's mix tapes.
Agreed
YEP
An 80’s guy here agreeing with you. Bands like JJ, Lush, EMF saved the 90’s, the last great era of music 🎶
The years go so fast.
I was absolutely obsessed with this band. I had every cassette and a VHS tape of them playing. I would watch it everyday after school. Mike Edwards was supposed to be my husband 😂
Here's an oldie! Takes me back to my high school years, I miss the 90s. Big shout out to everyone still listening in 2019!
high school ? lolol bars for me ! lol
91... My freshman year in college!
2020-3-6. Happy new Year !! Class of 81/82 for me.
Who am I ?? where am i ?

My all time favorite band even to this day! I remember the day i got my first cassette. What a brilliant day it was!
This makes me think of living in NYC in 1991, fresh out of college and looking for a job. I listened to this album constantly. 😊

Another song way ahead of it's time. A prelude of what to expect with from social media.
This is real good music not like today's mainstream music.
no.. this is REAL (music). Period. ;)
Nothing can beat 90s music. Such an amazing decade.
I wish they still played this on the radio!
This was a real, real, real tune!

Who is listening 👂 2020?!
Yep. Takes me straight back to the nineties.
First time I've heard this in probably 28+ years. Major flashback 😃
2021
Now I’m listening 👂
ES LA BANDA,QUE REVOLUCIONO EL POP...AGUANTE JESUS JONES 💪✌️ 0:56
Skate , snowboard , surf music, cool !!!!
No age-ism here, please- Love this song, always have! 2024 and counting...
well ok long story short , Great song
Buenísimo gracias por recordarlo me encanta me acuerdo con bailaba en la discos en la épocas de los 90 los Jesús Jones
We tore it UP to this in 5th Grade... I thought his voice was a revelation. Like EMF! His beats and basslines,, tho😵
Exactly. Very similar to emf. I like both bands.
Emf local to my area
I do miss the 90's, for 🎶 real, real, reeeeallll... 🎶 😢
groundbreaker way ahead of its time.
I still have my Jesus Jones Doubt black t-shirt. 👍👍👍👍👍
My 15 yer old self had such a crush on Mike when this album came out. Cherished that cassette. All the songs sound just as good today
This song would put me in the best mood when I would hear it on LIVE 105 on my way to work. LIVE 105 played an extended version that was to die for.
Omg these guys look the same 30 years later. They are not washed up like other bands are today. They definitely aged well

In my preteen...I have a blushing crush on this frontman's voice.
A great tune 👌👌
I still own this CD. Mint condition.
Same here but on tape cassette 😲
You should play it more :-)
I have the MTV party to go volume with this on it!
Great comment!
That’s awesome, you could sell it for it’s full value of $0.01
STILL ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dj
I remember these guys this is one of the best song/videos. I had the biggest crush (and still do) on Mike Edwards.
Me too. And I'm a straight bloke.
what a great song!
guuuuuys heeelp.i can't stop listen this song😭😭😭
❤ temazo, me encanta, unos de mis grupos preferidos de los 90❤y mí adolescencia ✨🖤
Groovy alternative rock music 💯🔥
I saw Jesus Jones in 1990 at the Queen Margaret Union in Glasgow. Can still smell the smoke machine and taste the snakebite.
Early 90s were great times.... Jesus Jones and EMF were very similar sounding and looking bands back then
Another pathetic moron who confuses music with what the decade was actually like for those living in it. Get over yourself sweetie.
My favourite song by you merchants of dance!
Oh Hey ‼️Look, A tall scrawny kid but with HiGH test Levels! Must be the 90s👓👌
Hadn't heard this one for a while. I mind them being INXS's support band and this was one of their best tunes back in the 90's..
Summer XS, Wembley Stadium... 1991? Their bass blew my conkers off! Top drawer!
Yep at Glasgow!
90's house 🤘🏻.
Magnificent 🤘🤘🤘🤘
This what boy bands should have aspired to emulate.
instead they turned to simon Cowell.

Excellent song. Remember buying it.
this is their best. Including right here right now.
Almost forgot about Jesus Jones...then all of a sudden I had a JESUS moment...HELL YEAH!
nineteen ninety something.. house party.. back garden.. acid.. hearing this for the first time..
pretty sure i feel real.. but now that you brought it up..
I was so in love with this band in the early 90’s. I mean obsessed. I thought Mike Jones was smoking hot
JESUS JONES!!!
Now there was a band. yeppers, back in the summer of '91. We all thought they was going to be the future of rock and roll.
RyanJ Rants they should have been - stupid NME
reading 1989 when i first clapped eyes on these classic tune
Saw these at Wembley in 1989 summer xs inxs,roachford ,hot house flowers ,jellyfish Debbie Harry brilliant just brilliant ❤
I was 18 in 1990, and had this on tape. We were spoilt for good tunes then.
I totally agree with you
Everytime I heard this song it reminded me of a 1960s song turned upside down... Kinda like how the 90s were the 60s turned upside down
Loved this when I was a kid. It still holds up.
I just heard this song on the radio. I've never heard this one on the radio. Love love love it.
I even have vhs of JJ
Whose listening to this JAM in 2022??
Now That’s What I Call Music! 17 bought me here :)
I really want to meet you, Much love in CHRIST JESUS SUCH A BLESSED NAME
I brought the 12inch single back then.😁
I do feel Real Real Real
2019 n this music is better than 99% of stuff out there right now
I mean...the lyrics are crap but the music quality is aight
What the fuck😂 you’re drunk as shit if you think THIS is better then 2019 music

2024, still not sure if I feel real. But i know i still love this song.
Miss those days
Caught myself singing this today. Didn't even know what I remembered it from. lol
Passion, understanding, forgiveness and tenacity, that's the recipe, here's your guarantee
Ah, reminds me of the days I had dreadlocks and was often mistaken for a 'new age traveller'.
1990 flashback , i remember put this in loop on my walkman !
I remember hearing these guys when I was still at primary school. Totally forgot them for 28 years till now.They were quite cool!
If I could manafest any thing it would be to sing in this band please God amen
I had a poster of mike on my wall when I was teen, he was super cute, super real 💖
I loved this song so much. Is great listening to it again
This group only hit the US top 40 twice in 1991 but both times they went to the top 5. This peaked at #4. Love it to no end. ("Right Here Right Now" went to #2 a few months earlier)
Great song! I remember having the cassingle for it when I was 14.
this song cheers me up! 😄
Happy 30th birthday 🎂 🎊 🥳 🍾
GenX. The last great generation.
Gen Z is pretty dope. I like the kids. They have a shot. We just need to instill a little cool into them.
Amen !!!! I was a Junior in high school when this broke out. The 90's was such a SPECIAL decade.
U old peeps ain't no flo 💩💩💩💩
Loved this band bk then them and EMF don’t make tunes like it anymore 😢
Brings back fond memories of 1990
This song is real real really 30 years old? 🤯
Takes me back to my youth, skateboarding and getting drunk!
I❤ Jesus Jones . . .
