Julian Cope wrote "Charlotte Anne" on his own and sent it out in 1988 as the first taste of My Nation Underground, his album for Island, and it gave him his biggest moment in America. Early in 1989 it spent a week at number one on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart, the only time Cope ever topped a chart in the States. Island gave it the full treatment on seven-inch, CD, 12-inch and a 12-inch picture disc, and "Five O'Clock World" followed it as the next single.
