"Trash" was the first single from Coming Up, Suede's third album, and it went out on Nude in July 1996 with plenty to prove. Bernard Butler was gone, this was the first Suede single with none of its songs written by him, and his replacement on guitar, Richard Oakes, co-wrote it with Brett Anderson. Ed Buller produced it and mixed it with David Bascombe, and the result is a brash, glittering Britpop strut from a band with its chin up.
It paid off. "Trash" reached number three in the UK, level with "Stay Together" as their highest placing, and outsold it to become their biggest-selling single. It topped the chart in Finland, went top five in Denmark, Iceland and Sweden, and Melody Maker named it the fourth-best single of 1996.
