Selected tracks outside the Top 10 TOTP 18th & 25th November and 2nd, 9th & 16th December 1995


The Beautiful South - Pretenders To The Throne
Chart entry this week & Peak: 18




Decent enough song from the Beautiful South, although not one that I have listened to in a long time.


Whale - Hobo Humpin' Slobo Babe
Chart entry this week & Peak: 15




Wow, memory unlocked when I heard this! The woman's part is quite the earworm.



Garbage - Queer
Chart entry this week & Peak: 13




Adore this from Garbage. Not their best song, but close!

Do you all find my on- TOTP but peaking outside of the top 10 selection posts interesting/useful?

If so, was planning to continue into 1996.

Yeh absolutely especially since decent songs don’t climb from 1996 onwards to some classics miss out on the top 10!

from all the songs that missed the top 10 in recent weeks, this is my fav
Therapy? - Diane, really dark and creepy but love it



not a big fan myself but surprised Whitney Houston-Exhale peaked at #11 in the UK, was a huge one everywhere

23RD DECEMBER



The Beatles are defeated and now the only thing that stands in Michael Jackson’s way of a Christmas chart topper is a novelty version of Oasis’ “Wonderwall”. “Earth Song” racked up another 150,000 copies last week to grab a third week at the top and take total sales of the track to 415,000, album “HIStory” also improves 9-4 and will sell its millionth copy this week wrapping up a fantastic year for the singer. It is also now Jackson’s longest chart topper!



The Beatles drift 2-3 (86,000) which means that surprisingly Boyzone move 3-2 (97,000) as it seems to connect with buyers just at the right time! Boyzone were of course in the top 5 last Christmas so it is clearly a market that they seem to understand.

Talking about connecting at the right time that seems to be the story for Bjork who suddenly sprints 8-4 (75,000) to overtake Everything But The Girl who slip 4-5 (69,000).



The only new entry comes predictably from Queen and a song which was one of the last recorded by Mercury, “A Winter’s Tale” isn’t a cover of the David Essex track but a new composition reputedly written by Mercury whilst in hospital in Geneva, it becomes their 23rd top 10 single by debuting at No 6 (68,000) and now they have only the Beatles ahead of them in terms of top tenners by UK groups, they have 26!



Coolio drops 5-7 (67,000) and Robson & Jerome slide 6-8 (67,000), the two tracks still seemingly in eternal battle with each other, both are over 900,000 and both should sell their millionth copy this week. There is less competition on the album front where Coolio is yet to sell his 100,000 copy but the Soldier Soldier boys sold another astonishing 316,000 copies to come within 50,000 copies of Oasis and bagging the biggest album of the year with just 5 weeks since release.

Childliners hold steady at No 9 (41,000) and Oasis return to the top 10 bouncing 11-10 (39,000) just in time for that rival version to chart.

So all eyes on next week’s chart and the prize of the Christmas chart topper- can Mike Flowers pops do it?- they have advance orders of over 200,000 and they’ll need them all to outdo Jacko!

1- EARTH SONG- Michael Jackson (150,000)
2- FATHER AND SON- Boyzone (97,000)
3- FREE AS A BIRD- The Beatles (86,000)
4- IT’S OH SO QUIET- Bjork (75,000)
5- MISSING- Everything But The Girl (69,000)
6- A WINTER’S TALE- Queen (68,000)
7- GANGSTA’S PARADISE- Coolio Ft LV (67,000)
8- I BELIEVE/ UP ON THE ROOF- Robson & Jerome (67,000)
9- THE GIFT OF CHRISTMAS- Childliners (41,000)
10- WONDERWALL- Oasis (39,000)

We are going straight into 1996 on the 3rd May with the 4th and 11th January shows from 7pm.

We will be skipping the Gary Glitter presented show on the 6th December ( that will be the last show he hosts ) .

That means we will have 50 weekly shows plus the hour long Christmas Day show - so 25 double bills plus Christmas equals 26 Fridays needed for 1996 and we have 34 Fridays from the 3rd May until Christmas so enough time to complete 1996 ( and have the annual Proms break ) before Christmas 2024.
