Cool Britannia: The Battle of Britpop
Description:
The year is 1995. A new musical movement is in full swing in the UK: Britpop. In this specialised committee, delegates must vie for the coveted No.1 chart position. Britain is changing: music, media, and politics are all colliding. As Cool Britannia emerges and social tensions simmer, diplomacy, strategy, and cultural influence will prove to be just as important as record sales. In this specialised committee, delegates must vie for the coveted No.1 chart position. Oasis and Blur are releasing singles on the same day, and only one can emerge victorious. Britain is changing: music, media, and politics are all colliding. Can you dominate the charts without tearing Britpop – and Britain – apart?
