Posted by: chartjack Apr 17 2018, 01:15 PM

Hi everyone

Does anyone know where I might find the weekly sales (or estimates) for each #1 from 1990 to 1994 (and longer shot) before 1980?

Thanks smile.gif

I love that 155000 people rushed out to buy "Saviours Day" by Cliff Richard

Posted by: sm1ffj Apr 17 2018, 02:22 PM

Gezza will have revised these figures as he is in the process of doing a week by week top 10 sales thread, he is currently doing 1990.

Posted by: danG Apr 17 2018, 02:40 PM

Is there anything for the weeks between 01-Jan and 19-Feb 1994?

Sorry a copy and paste error from my excel file...


Posted by: Gambo Apr 17 2018, 03:25 PM

This is interesting. I took a complete copy of Gezza's 1990-'94 estimates a while before he withdrew them with the intention of revising them (presumably he has since gained access to some more accurate figures or means of estimating?). Most of these match those posted by SmiffJ above, but with a fair number of sometimes quite notable differences; for example Smiff's figures for the October 1993 to January 1994 period differ quite considerably from what Gezza originally posted. I wonder what might have accounted for these differing numbers? Where it deviates, is Smiff's version of events to be considered more reliable than Gezza's originals (at least until such time as he is able to republish his refreshed weekly totals)? Or, did Gezza amend some of his figures ad-hoc after I cut and pasted them, before deciding to withdraw and re-evaluate the entire five years' worth, and it was him who provided these adjusted tallies reflected above? Grateful for clarification folks if possible.

These are Gezzas figures, there must have been a few revisions over the years...


Posted by: Gambo Apr 17 2018, 03:52 PM

Okay; thanks SmiffJ. Maybe in the meantime I should update my listing to reflect yours where they differ!

It was one of the worst ever chart years in fact.

Posted by: Gezza Apr 17 2018, 05:23 PM

I have put the revised 1990 tallies up. 1991-94 are being worked on now.

Awww I love 1992 myself, especially that the lovely Tasmin made it to number 1 wub.gif Some iconic tracks and some real cheesy ones too.

Oops...mixed up Afroman and Kylie - fixed it now. Goodbye only spent 1 week at #1, so not enough time to make the Top 100!

I think the 1992 #1s were pretty great overall.

Weren't the low sales in 1992 blamed on games consoles or something? The Super Nintendo and Sega Mega Drive were both massive that year and kids and teens were saving up to buy games instead. Then as CD players became cheaper and more affordable the CD single took off from '94 and remained popular until the early noughties.

92 had some great #1s, ie Shakespear sister - Stay or Tasmin Archer - Sleeping satellite

Posted by: Euphorique Apr 18 2018, 03:16 PM

I also loved Snap, Charles & Eddie, Boyz II Men and KWS. Childhood memories.

That 'sales at #1' top 100 is very interesting!
Didn't expect to see Three Lions that high, I guess that's from the '96 and '98 versions combined, but even so...
I guess the streaming contributions to these are whatever the chart of the day used? So for example One Dance is 100:1, Shape Of You is 150:1 and Despacito is 150:1 except its last 2 weeks at #1 which are 300:1?
