Don McLean returns to UK top 10 with American Pie, 1991

EMI UK decided to re-issue 'American Pie' in October 1991, almost as a courtesy to Don because he was touring the country. To everyone's surprise the song became one of the most played of the year on UK radio, entered the singles chart, and made it to the top-10. Don performed the song live on Top of the Pops (see link, left). "It was like 1972 all over again for me," says Don.

Not wanting to miss out on the surprise interest in Don McLean, EMI issued a  "Best of Don McLean" compilation, which made the charts in its first week of release and went on to achieve gold record status. Strangely (and much to Don's annoyance) EMI refused to issue a follow up single.
