QUOTE(Colm @ Jul 16 2023, 07:52 PM)  I believe its chart entry was dated 3rd September as charts were dated with the date of the Saturday following the Sunday that they were announced meaning that it was released on Monday 22th August. Aha! Finally cleared that up then.

It always felt silly to me to have a chart dated a week after it was announced and almost 2 weeks after the start of the sales period it covered.

QUOTE(Jester @ Jul 16 2023, 04:52 PM) What’s the issue with John Peel? I’m not sure they showed all his 80s episodes! Why does Gary Glitter present so much in the mid 90s 🤨 |

Anyone know when BBC4 will be resuming the 1995 repeats?
They are still showing two older episodes each Friday. I guess they've taken it off while the Proms are on, but don't know for sure. |

I would think it’ll be back after the Proms, they usually take it off for them.

The schedule for the 22nd September has now been released and we will definitely be skipping the 9th February 1995 edition of Top of the Pops presented by the late actor Gary Olsen.
The reason for this is that the video to Bump N Grind by R Kelly was played during the chart rundown from 40-11 and the BBC won't skip the chart rundown so the episode has to go. |

21ST JANUARY
 A rather easier week at No 1 this time around for Rednex with “Cotton Eye Joe” selling a very healthy 100,000 copies to take the crown, an impressive 32% increase week on week to lift the song’s total to over 400,000.  It’s almost as though we’re in the 80s with Human League advancing 7-6 (30,000) and Nicki French thrusting 12-7 (incidentally an exact repeat of “Tell Me Why”’s climb last week) with her cover of the 1983 chart topper for Bonnie Tyler” Total Eclipse Of The Heart”. Much like N-Trance, French’s single is getting a second bite of the cherry having first been a No 54 hit in October but has had solid club support evert since prompting a re-issue. It’s produced by Mike Stock and Matt Aiken two third’s of hit producers Stock Aitken & Waterman who have now disbanded and gives another 80s flavour to the top 10 this week, the single sold 28,000 this week.  A four week chart topper last April in the US, R Kelly’s “Bump N Grind” gets a UK re-release and debuts at No 10 (19,000) replicating the fate of his last single “She’s Got That Vibe” which became the singer’s first substantial hit when it peaked at No 3 in November. Both tracks were of course re-issues “Bump” making No 79 last February, but despite both now being hits the parent album “12 Play” is struggling though it does 50-35 to reach a new peak following his sell out shows at Wembley. Talking of new peaks on the album charts Celine Dion’s “The Colour Of My Love” bounces 13-3 this week to reach a new high spurred on by the success of “Think Twice” which remains hauled up at No 2 (52,000) behind the Rednex though it remains fractionally ahead of the Swedes on total sales. N-Trance move 6-3 (44,000) but are way too far behind to threaten at present, same too for Ini Kamoze 5-4 (37,000). Heading the wrong way are Boyzone 3-5 (32,000), East 17 4-8 (25,000) and Oasis 8-9 (23,000) Next week we’ll see the first Simple Minds single in 4 years- could it repeat the feat of “Belfast Child”? 1- COTTON EYE JOE- Rednex (100,000) 2- THINK TWICE- Celine Dion (52,000) 3- SET YOU FREE- N-Trance (44,000) 4- HERE COMES THE HOTSTEPPER- Ini Kamoze (37,000) 5- LOVE ME FOR A REASON- Boyzone (32,000) 6- TELL ME WHEN- Human League (30,000) 7- TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART- Nicki French (28,000) 8- STAY ANOTHER DAY- East 17 (25,000) 9- WHATEVER- Oasis (23,000) 10- BUMP N GRIND- R Kelly (19,000)

28TH JANUARY
 TOTP certainly did Celine Dion some favours this week, “Think Twice” holds at No 2 for a third week but upped its sales by 25% to 65,000 and will break the 500,000 mark next week possibly without ever making the top, her album “Colour Of My Love” bounds 3-1 and may prove her achilles heel as it deflects sales. Don’t give up on her reaching No 1 yet though as the Rednex have clearly peaked and lose 19% to 81,000 and are clearly vulnerable for a fourth week at the top. The static top four is completed by N-Trance (52,000) and Ini Kamoze at No 4 (44,000) but both increase sales by too measly an amount to be the next chart topper.  The re-release season is still turning around previous flops, this time for US punkers Green Day who’s “Basket Case” made No 55 last August and now re-enters at No 7 (24,000). The band left their independent roots in 1993 signing for reprise and the hits started coming, thematically it details lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong’s struggle with anxiety.  It beat Simple Minds newie “She’s A River” which surprises some by its low entry at No 9 (20,000). Regardless it becomes their 7th top 10 hit (or 8th if you count the double A-Side “Alive & Kicking/ Love Song” as a separate release) and previews their 10th album “Good News From The Next World” which is out in a fortnight. The band are now officially a duo having shed most of their original line up and drafted in session musicians to complete the album, you may recall the band premiered the song with a live performance from the Eiffel tower for TOTP a few weeks ago. Nicki French moves 7-5 (43,000) jumping over The Human League stuck at No 6 (29,000), R Kelly rises 10-8 (23,000) but Boyzone drop 5-10 (19,000) as its sales reach almost the half million mark. 1- COTTON EYE JOE- Rednex (81,000) 2- THINK TWICE- Celine Dion (65,000) 3- SET YOU FREE- N-Trance (52,000) 4- HERE COMES THE HOTSTEPPER- Ini Kamoze (44,000) 5- TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART- Nicki French (43,000) 6- TELL ME WHEN- Human League (29,000) 7- BASKET CASE- Green Day (24,000) 8- BUMP N GRIND- R Kelly (23,000) 9- SHE’S A RIVER- Simple Minds (20,000) 10- LOVE ME FOR A REASON- Boyzone (19,000)

Selected tracks outside the Top 10 TOTP 21 January 1995
Massive Attack feat. Tracey Thorn - Protection Chart entry this week: 14 Peak: 14 Second single from Massive Attack's second album of the same name and featuring Tracey Thorn of Everything But The Girl, this is such an under-rated classic. Sleeper - Inbetweener Chart entry this week: 16 Peak: 16 A taste of the Indie Britpop to come in 1995, this is a superb Sleeper single and deserved to hot the top 10 but sadly it missed out just shy of the top 15. The video does feature Dale Winton in a supermarket! Also featured peaking outside the top 10: Ultimate Kaos - Hoochie Booty Chart entry this week: 18 Peak: 17 Barry White - Practice What You Preach Chart entry this week: 20 Peak: 20 |

4TH FEBRUARY
 The country goes Celine Dion crazy this week as she claims the double with “The Colour Of My Love” holding at the top in the albums and “Think Twice” climbing 2-1 on the singles whilst creating chart history! It has taken 16 weeks from debut to make No 1 moving 53-42-52-30-28-22-20-9-8-5-6-4-2-2-2-1 thus far, it therefore equals the longest continuous run to the top held by Jennifer Rush’s “The Power Of Love” which was of course covered by Dion just last year. It is also the first chart topper not to be available on Vinyl at all- surely the final nail in the coffin for the format which has been in constant decline all decade, for writers Andy Hill and Peter Sinfield it is their first chart topper for 13 years. Finally Dion becomes only the second female solo act of the 90s to do the double following Mariah Carey last year. The song sold 80,000 copies last week as its cumulative sales move to 556,000 another record as no chart topper has attracted so many sales pre it making No 1, however it only just made it with the outgoing favourite “Cotton Eye Joe” sliding 1-2 and selling a mere 500 copies less and itself moving to a sales total of 563,000- the market, at present, being very buoyant for the time of year. The rest of the top 5 is static but they have different sales story, N-Trance are in bronze position but do increase sales slightly to 57,000 but Ini Kamoze loses 6% to 41,000 and Nicki French is at No 5 (37,000) but diminishes 12% in the process.  Previous hit “Another Night” is still at No 3 in the US (for a 10th week!) but here MC Sar & The Real McCoy are moving onto single 2 with “Run Away” which bounds 11-6 (30,000) to dispel any notion that they were about to enter the one hit wonder club.  New on the boyband circuit are four piece MN8 and announce their arrival with “I’ve Got A Little Something For You” new at No 7 (26,000). It’s already garnered significant airplay and exposure in teen mags has generated a lot of attention in certain circles!  Starting out as an interval act in last year’s Eurovision song contest, “Riverdance” was an immediate hit in Ireland last year where it spent 18 weeks at No 1 (it was their “Love Is All Around”). That in turn led to the dance being performed at the Royal Variety Show last November and the UK release of the single which has been a sleeper hit so far with a chart history which reads 53-32-15-20-17-11-12-9 to date with over 100,000 copies sold including 22,000 in its last frame. Green Day fall 7-8 (26,000) and Human League drop 6-10 (18,000) as their album “Octopus” debuts at No 6. 1- THINK TWICE- Celine Dion (80,000) 2- COTTON EYE JOE- Rednex (79,500) 3- SET YOU FREE- N-Trance (57,000) 4- HERE COMES THE HOTSTEPPER- Ini Kamoze (41,000) 5- TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART- Nicki French (37,000) 6- RUN AWAY- (MC Sar &) The Real McCoy (30,000) 7- I’VE GOT A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR YOU- MN8 (26,000) 8- BASKET CASE- Green Day (26,000) 9- RIVERDANCE- Bill Whelan (22,000) 10- TELL ME WHEN- Human League (18,000)

11TH FEBRUARY
 The top 5 all keep their positions in the upper circle creating a logjam at top end of the charts though there is some movement within them. None at the top though as Celine Dion dominates on both singles and albums front once again, “Think Twice” has a much firmer hold on the title now though its own sales increase by a mere 2% to 81,000 but it is the competition falling away which is making her victory look easy. N-Trance lift 3-2 but their sales actually drop by 2% to 56,000, enough, but only just, to overtake the Rednex who fall 2-3 (55,000). In fact with the exception of Dion they are all losing sales, Ini Kamoze holds at No 4 (37,000) and Nicki French at No 5 (36,000) but total sales of the top 5 are really clocking up. French is still the newcomer with 160,000, with Kamoze on 219,000, N-trance on 240,000, Rednex on 618,000 and Dion on 637,000, meaning the latter two disks turn platinum simultaneously!  Paul Oakenfold did a stint as an A & R man responsible for signing DJ Jazzie Jeff & Fresh Prince as well as Salt N Pepa whilst keeping working as DJ whilst founding his own record label with Steve Osborne, Perfecto records, and doing high profile work for Happy Mondays, Massive Attack and U2. Indeed Oakenfold’s work was responsible for placing “Even Better Than The Real Thing” in the top 10 three years ago. As a performer in his own right he has charted as Electra and Rise but neither has given him a top 40 single but now under the moniker Perfecto Allstarz (again with Osborne) he returns with “Reach Up (Papa’s Got A Band New Pigbag)” which is, as you might have gathered, a cover of the James Brown hit. In truth it owes much more (including a sample) to Pigbag’s cover from 1982 which reached No 3, the updated dance version lifts 17-8 (25,000).  “Bizarre Fruit” was released 11 weeks ago and hasn’t left the top 20 racking up nearly 400,000 sales in that period. Second single “Open Your Heart” arrived at No 11 last week and now does the necessary moving to No 9 (22,000) to give them a seventh top 10 hit in a row (ignoring “Elegantly American EP” which was essentially a remix EP). The move was helped by the release of a second CD version, an increasing phenomenon to manipulate the charts but hey it’s worked. MN8 can only move 7-6 (34,000) as they struggle to make an indent on the top 5 and swap places with MC Sar & The Real McCoy (28,000), Bill Whelan completes the top 10 dropping 9-10 (20,000). 1- THINK TWICE- Celine Dion (81,000) 2- SET YOU FREE- N-Trance (56,000) 3- COTTON EYE JOE- Rednex (55,000) 4- HERE COMES THE HOTSTEPPER- Ini Kamoze (37,000) 5- TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART- Nicki French (36,000) 6- I’VE GOT A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR YOU- MN8 (34,000) 7- RUN AWAY- (MC Sar &) The Real McCoy (28,000) 8- REACH UP (PAPA’S GOT A BRAND NEW PIGBAG)- Perfecto Allstarz (25,000) 9- OPEN YOUR HEART- M People (22,000) 10- RIVERDANCE- Bill Whelan (20,000)
