The final season for Dennis Waterman & the late John Thaw. This episode features Morecambe & Wise as a couple of comedians (cough cough)! They guest starred because in 1976, Dennis & John had appeared in the Morecambe & Wise Christmas Show 1976 10 THIS IS YOUR LIFE 15.40...Eamonn Andrews and the original and best big red book. On this one, Eamonn sneaks up on David Bellamy 11 EDWARD AND MRS SIMPSON 15.20...Edward Fox/Cynthia Harris in the 1930s based drama series 12 CROSSROADS MON 15.10...the Soap appearing in the top 20 in all 4 eposodes 13 CROSSROADS TUES 14.90 14 CROSSROADS WEDS 14.80 15 BERNIE 14.70...Bernie Winters stars in his own variety show and of course Schnorbitz (the dog).

This show featured Kris Kristofferson & Rita Coolidge. Will the Muppets be in the pop chart today? Note: On the Friday of this week in 1978, BBC screens were blacked out by a Technicians strike. Star Trek/Citizen Smith/The Liver Birds were not screened. ITV reigned supreme with the Muppet Show/Survival Special/Sale Of The Century. BBC2 lost the Country Game/Leo Sayer. Also in 1978, we got our first taste of Aussie Soaps via "The Sullivans". Fortunately we were all at work at 12.30pm, and missed it! They were forgiven though, because we did get the Austalian version of the absolutely brilliant & funny "Father Dear Father" with the late & brilliant Patrick Cargill...Now how about a repeat of this hilarious sitcom ITV? Instead of endless re-runs of "Rising Damp".

I looked it like this...In 1992, downloads didn`t exist. So, it has to be a new entry to the download chart! :lol: Coming soon the full combined up to minute singles...but first the Top 20 Biggest Selling Christmas songs of all time: 20 WOMBLING MERRY CHRISTMAS - THE WOMBLES 1974 425,000 19 I BELIEVE IN FATHER CHRISTMAS - GREG LAKE 1975 450,000 18 DO THEY KNOW IT`S CHRISTMAS - BAND AID II 1989 475,000 17 I WISH IT COULD BE CHRISTMAS EVERYDAY - WIZZARD 1973 500,000 16 RUDOLPH THE RED NOSED REINDEER - GENE AUTRY 1950 550,000 15 MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE - SHAKIN`STEVENS 1985 580,000 14 ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU - MARIAH CAREY 1994 603,750 13 FAIRYTALE OF NEW YORK - POGUES/KIRSTY MACOLL 1987 660,000 12 LONELY THIS CHRISTMAS - MUD 1974 786,000 11 MISLETOE AND WINE - CLIFF RICHARD 1988 790,000 10 STOP THE CAVALRY - JONA LEWIE 1980 800,000 09 HAPPY XMAS (WAR IS OVER) - JOHN LENNON/PLASTIC ONO BAND 1972/80 828,500 08 WHEN A CHILD IS BORN - JOHNNY MATHIS 1976 870,000 07 WHITE CHRISTMAS - BING CROSBY 1942/77 1,019,000 06 MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY - SLADE 1973 1,089,000 05 DO THEY KNOW IT`S CHRISTMAS - BAND AID 20 2004 1,150,000 04 MARY`S BOY CHILD - HARRY BELAFONTE 1957 1,180,000 03 LAST CHRISTMAS - WHAM! 1,498,000 02 MARY`S BOY CHILD-OH MY LORD - BONEY M 1978 1,985,000 01 DO THEY KNOW IT`S CHRISTMAS - BAND AID 1984 3,602,000 Controversy remains as Jona Lewie & Johnny Mathis hits are not actually Christmas songs...anti war for Jona, and a no mention of Christmas in the Johnny Mathis song with music "Soleado", which had already been a hit for the St Andrews Chorale in Feb 1976 as "Cloud 99". During the week, I was aproached by a bunch of enthusiasts at DTR headquarters...they said "Dave, we are fed up with the way the charts are manipulated by crap talent shows, 12 year olds music, downloads and the like". I agreed with them all the way. So, I got my thinking cap on, and decided to come up with a more family related chart, like the days of the 60s/70s/80s. Here is what I came up with (after dumping X Factor/all download alones etc) 01 December Song - George Michael 02 Christmas EP - Pet Shop Boys 03 Bad Romance - Lady Gaga 04 Children In Need Medley - Peter Kay 05 Silver Bells - Terry Wogan/Aled Jones 06 A Soldier's Christmas - Soldiers 07 You Know Me - Robbie Williams 08 Meet Me Halfway - Black Eyed Peas 09 What About Now - Westlife 10 Doesn`t Mean Anything - Alicia Keys 11 Tik Tok - Kesha 12 I Wish - Mini Viva 13 I Need You - N-Dubz 14 Fragile Tension - Depeche Mode 15 Morning After Dark - Timbaland 16 About A Girl - Sugababes 17 Empire State - Jay Z 18 All You Need Is Love - Bandaged 19 Invaders Must Die - Prodigy 20 Got Some - Pearl Jam 21 You Got The Love - Florence And The Machine 22 Cornerstone Ltd - Arctic Monkeys 23 Rain - Mika 24 Just Like You - Ian Brown 25 Man`s Machine EP - Jamie T 26 Winter Winds - Mumford & Sons 27 Dominoes - Big Pink 28 The Spell - Alphabeat 29 Goodbye England - Laura Marling 30 Kings & Queens - 30 Seconds To Mars That`s the best I could do...with no downloads/crap talent shows/manipulated radioplay/boring same old Xmas songs...but just physically all ages related sales! Hang on for this week`s singles...

December 18, 200915 yr Yay, joe number 1 :D Will rage machine have their highest charting ever if they are number 2? if it is then good for them! Edited December 18, 200915 yr by Jmh123
December 18, 200915 yr cheers Dave! It does look like Joe is going to do it, and probably by a good 50,000 or so come Sunday. At least it's made the Christmas chart a bit more exciting this year and if it makes Simon Cowell think twice about releasing another dull cover version next year it will have achieved something. Good chart from 1978 and a couple of weeks later the whole country was coated in snow (and it lasted for much of the next two months!) but the country never ground to a halt. Well, apart from seemingly half the country going on strike! Including the teachers for 3 and a half weeks in the worst part of the winter in February 1979 - excellent!
December 18, 200915 yr Brilliant info as ever. Simon Cowell is the devil incarnate as far as I'm come concerned. Have a Merry Xmas and may the next decade be better for music than this decade has been.
December 18, 200915 yr Go Joe! :) Was hoping the original version would RE much higher though. cheers Dave! It does look like Joe is going to do it, and probably by a good 50,000 or so come Sunday. At least it's made the Christmas chart a bit more exciting this year and if it makes Simon Cowell think twice about releasing another dull cover version next year it will have achieved something. Good chart from 1978 and a couple of weeks later the whole country was coated in snow (and it lasted for much of the next two months!) but the country never ground to a halt. Well, apart from seemingly half the country going on strike! Including the teachers for 3 and a half weeks in the worst part of the winter in February 1979 - excellent! It's Simon's 'control' of the charts that was the basis for the campaign not the Song choice, cover or not. :)
December 18, 200915 yr Thanks Dave How is Pet Shop Boys ahead of Gaga on the X Factorless chart? I wish they could get a number 2 single these days... Great to see Alphabeat in there. Has their new single or album registered on the pre-order chart yet?
December 18, 200915 yr :cry: Actually thought Rage would do it for a while Oh well, it will be close- and this has scared Simon Cowell- if campaigns like this keep going, it could work one year
December 18, 200915 yr And the inevitable has happened. Nice one products of Cowell's music industry takeover.
December 18, 200915 yr Author Thanks Dave How is Pet Shop Boys ahead of Gaga on the X Factorless chart? I wish they could get a number 2 single these days... Great to see Alphabeat in there. Has their new single or album registered on the pre-order chart yet? PSBs ahead because we`ve knock out all downloads on that. No sign of Alphabeat yet.
December 18, 200915 yr Have a Merry Xmas and may the next decade be better for music than this decade has been. I take it than you haven't heard the new Wiley track, in that case cover your ears, out early next Jan :cry: wjoQEckfDeQ

December 18, 200915 yr Author cheers Dave! It does look like Joe is going to do it, and probably by a good 50,000 or so come Sunday. At least it's made the Christmas chart a bit more exciting this year and if it makes Simon Cowell think twice about releasing another dull cover version next year it will have achieved something. Good chart from 1978 and a couple of weeks later the whole country was coated in snow (and it lasted for much of the next two months!) but the country never ground to a halt. Well, apart from seemingly half the country going on strike! Including the teachers for 3 and a half weeks in the worst part of the winter in February 1979 - excellent! I remember Dustmen`s strike/Firemen and all that stuff. Leading to the end of the original Labour rule of Britain. I often wonder what we be like now had Mr Callaghan won the 1979 Election...The Public Transport/Gas/Electric etc may not have all been privatised. Is that why the country grinds to a halt today?
