The biggest selling record in Mexico is 1982 release How Does it Feel to be the Mother of a Thousand Dead – a tribute to Margaret Thatcher by anarcho-punk pioneers Crass, which sold over 10 million copies, keeping it in the charts for over two years (7 months at number one). The band made 73 appearances on top rated music show Basura de Pop para cretinos, which was broadcast 4 times a day to the pop-mad nation. However, Mexico’s biggest music act remains Toad the Wet Sprocket, who have sold over 200 million records so far.
