I find it ruddy hilarious that The One Show had more viewers than Over The Rainbow! By the way if you are in too vintage sitcoms, there are currently two of the worse ever made showing on Film24 (Sky 157) on Sundays at 7pm. They are "Take A Letter Mr Jones" with John Inman/Rula Lenska/Miriam Margoyles followed by "That Beryl Marston" with Julia McKenzie/Gareth Hunt/Jonathon Morris...They are both Southern Television at it`s worse, and no wonder they lost their franchise after this dross! Mind you, they also run Kids TV, like "Freewheelers" & "The Flockton Flyer" during the week, so not so bad. There are also some rarely seen B & W films too. Possibly we await a re-run of Jon Pertwee`s "Worzel Gummidge" too. More good news is, forthcoming plans to show more archive stuff like "Sapphire & Steel" a la David Macallum/Joanna Lumley, "The Gemini Man" (Ben Murphy), Cannon...a less often screened detective show made by Quinn Martin. Which could mean we might get "The Fugitive" (the original series) which deserves a complete re-run. On the detective thing, they already show the original B & W series of "Burke`s Law" on Fridays at 10.30am. Overall probably one of the better Satellite Channels.

The Top Singles in Apr 1991:

01 03 SIT DOWN - JAMES...touring at the moment, and it just failed to make the Gallup #1, but did it for the Network Chart

02 01 ONE AND ONLY - CHESNEY HAWKES...Chip`s son (of the Tremoloes). Always stated as a one hit wonder, but we know it wasn`t!

03 36 WHOLE OF THE MOON - WATERBOYS...the re-issue of the 1984 top 30 hit, for the Scottish/Irish band following their best of album

04 04 RHYTHM OF MY HEART - ROD STEWART...Rod doing good in 1991. I do question the stuff, he`s putting out today. Can we have something a little more original?

05 05 SECRET LOVE - BEE GEES...High Civilization was the album, from whence it came. Possibly the only current hit of the time being played on Radio 2

06 19 LOVE AND KISSES - DANNI MINOGUE...Was she a shade better looking than Kylie? Some thought So!

07 14 HUMAN NATURE - GARY CLAIL ON U SOUND SYSTEM...the British singer/producer and part on U Sound Records

08 10 MEGAMIX - SNAP!...Did we need a Snap! megamix? Well the German/US Electronic sound thought so!

09 07 JOYRIDE - ROXETTE...Per & Marie, Swedish and ever so Radio friendly, and the reunion last year

10 02 WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAME-CAN`T TAKE MY EYES OFF YOU - PET SHOP BOYS...U2 meets Franki Valli/Andy Williams, and better days for Neil & Chris

11 41 STRIKE IT UP - BLACK BOX...a US dance chart #1 for Italian set

12 13 I`VE GOT NEWS FOR YOU - FEARGAL SHARKEY...52 this year, and his actual first name is Sean. But I think I`m right in saying, you probably haven`t heard this song since 1991

13 06 LET THERE BE LOVE - SIMPLE MINDS...Jim Kerr and the Glasgow bunch, who have sold 40 million albums worldwide since 1979

14 NE RESCUE ME - MADONNA...another MRIB number one for Madge

15 47 ANTHEM - N-JOI...the House/Techno duo from Southend

16 20 HERE WE GO - C & C MUSIC FACTORY...Clivilles & Cole at it again. David Cole passed away in 1995, but Robert continued the C & C name

17 12 THIS IS YOUR LIFE - BANDERAS...Sally Herbert was one of the backing singers with the Communards, joined by Caroline Buckley

18 21 WEAR YOUR LOVE LIKE HEAVEN - DEFINITION OF SOUND...Kevin Clark, Don Weekes, Rex Brough, Mike Spencer in the London dance based outfit

19 09 ITS TOO LATE - QUARTZ/DINA CARROLL...the first for Dina, although in actual fact she had already had a Continental hit in 1989, with a version of the classic "Walk On By"

20 NE DEEP DEEP TROUBLE - SIMPSONS...not such a big follow up to "Do The Bartman". The series only on Sky TV in 1991

21 17 SHE`S A WOMAN - SCRITTI POLITTI...up to Leeds for a Beatles cover, that featured the rather starange sound of one Shabba Ranks

22 23 HIGHWIRE - ROLLING STONES...the Stones still getting those small single hits featuring Living Colour & Guns N`Roses during their tours at this point

23 26 WORD OF MOUTH - MIKE AND THE MECHANICS...the late Paul Young did vocals on this one, Paul Carrack had been with Paul in Sad Cafe.

24 NE SIZE OF A COW - WONDER STUFF...the 8th top 50 hit for the lads from Stourbridge

25 15 LOSING MY RELIGION - R.E.M...Michael Stipe and co having better days, and coming from Georgia, of course

26 29 CAN YOU DIG IT - MOCK TURTLES...up to Manchester for Martin Coogan and co. Martin is Steve Coogan`s brother, you know

27 NE RING MY BELL - MONIE LOVE VS ADEVA...Simone Wilson meets Patricia Daniels, and as usual ripping off some old hit

28 34 CARAVAN - INSPIRAL CARPETS...Lambert & Holt etc from Oldham. Great stuff, and for me, best in the chart

29 38 WHERE LOVE LIES - ALISON LIMERICK...13 top 75 hits for Alison, who did backing vocals on the Style Council`s "Our Favourite Shop" album

30 11 SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO/RUSH - CLASH...re-issued for the Clash, although the B side was Big Audio Dynamite, and the connection of Mick Jones

31 24 OVER TO YOU JOHN - JIVE BUNNY...John & Andrew Pickles and Rotherham. Weren`t you just sick of them by now?!

32 39 COWBOYS AND ANGELS - GEORGE MICHAEL...12 UK nunber one singles, 10 U.S. ones. The Gulf War in 1991, led to a radio airplay Hot 100 hit "Mother`s Pride". Maybe Cowboys & Angels would have been a choice on it`s own.

33 30 BY MY SIDE - INXS...Michael Hutchence formed in 1977, and the apparent drug/alcohol suicide in 1997

34 NE HYPERREAL - SHAMEN...Mr C (Andrew West) had now appeared alongside Colin Angus, Derek & Keith McKenzie and Peter Stephenson

35 16 YOU GOT THE LOVE - SOURCE/CANDI STATON...originally written in 1986, featured with Paul Simpson on Adeva`s "Musical Freedom" in 1989, Joss Stone (last year), and Florence Welch this year

36 18 LOOSE FIT - HAPPY MONDAYS...madchester rules ok! Shaun Ryder and the gang

37 45 SENZA UNA DONNA - ZUCCHERO/PAUL YOUNG...it mean`t "Without A Woman". First recorded by the Italian without Paul, on the album version

38 NE HEAVEN - CHRIS REA...Aged 59, and currently touring. Was he so bad, or did he warrant the joke "What do you get if you cross Dire Straits with Chris Rea?" I thought it might have been a good idea to form a band called Dire-Rea! Could`ve used a title of "The Road To Money", combining "Road To Hell" with "Money For Nothing", as a send up.

39 33 BEEN CAUGHT STEALING - JANE`S ADDICTION...Perry Farrell and co from Los Angeles, and back 3rd time in 2010, working on new material

40 28 LOVE REARS ITS UGLY HEAD - LIVING COLOUR...The Funk-Metal Pioneers from New York, and a-forementioned performing with the Stones

41 NE SAILING ON THE SEVEN SEAS - ORCHESTRAL MANOEUVRES IN THE DARK...OMD, Andy McCluskey & Paul Humphries from the Wirral

42 08 STONK - HALE AND PACE...Comic Relief, and more nonsense! And what a fall down the chart.

43 22 BECAUSE I LOVE YOU - STEVIE B....Steven Bernard Hill was the full name of this Miami Singer/Producer/Songwriter. The song subtitled "The Postman`s Song". I thought that was "Get Down Shep", by the Barron Knights!

44 25 UNFINISHED SYMPATHY - MASSIVE....Up to Bristol for the gang "Massive Attack", and wasn`t it great

45 NE I`M ALRIGHT - KATHERINE E...Appearing on many 90s tracks, she was produced by Fabrizio Rizzolo & Franco Diaferia

46 NE SEAL OUR FATE - GLORIA ESTEFAN...a year on from the Tour Bus accident, and in 1991...it was back for the "Into The Light" promotion

47 50 ALWAYS ON THE RUN - LENNY KRAVITZ...the big mixed musical genius of the New Yorker

48 NE I JUST WANNA B WITH U - TRANSVISION VAMP...Wendy James on her last legs, but returning solo in 1993 with an album written by Elvis Costello

49 27 MOVE YOUR BODY - XPANSIONS...Sally Anne Marsh had been one part of the Threesome "Faith Hope & Chrity", which also featured one Dani Behr. Sally also played Cecile in Grange Hill, you may remember

50 NE IT WON`T BE LONG - ALISON MOYET...Billericay born Genevieve Moyet, nicking a title of a Beatles song, although a different song totally

:o at Inna topping the physicals.

 

Glad to see "New Moon" hanging in at #2 on the DVDs - Rob Pattinson needs some good news about "Remember Me" only got to #7 at the box office. And an all-new top 3 at the box office - quick question, how often does the box office have an all-new top 3, and when was the last time it happened, with which movies?

 

 

 

The Top Singles in Apr 1991:

 

01 03 SIT DOWN - JAMES...touring at the moment, and it just failed to make the Gallup #1, but did it for the Network Chart

 

:o Such a shame this Manchester anthem failed to top the UK charts. Was by far my fave song in the charts at the time although a lot of that was down to my brother in law buying the track and playing it endlessly when I went to my sisters. :lol:

 

20 NE DEEP DEEP TROUBLE - SIMPSONS...not such a big follow up to "Do The Bartman". The series only on Sky TV in 1991

 

It was crap compared to 'Do The Bartman' (first song I bought on cassette single :D <--- no shame!!!). I remember being the envy of my mates as our house was the only one on the estate that had Sky TV. I was obsessed with Sky One at the age of 10. :lol: DJ Kat Show, Fun Factory and of course The Simpsons. The good ole' days. ^_^

All on http://www.thesuperstation.info You can`t go wrong, with more hits and new entries per hour every week! :thumbup:

And an all-new top 3 at the box office - quick question, how often does the box office have an all-new top 3, and when was the last time it happened, with which movies?

It doesn`t happen that often. The last time was when there were 4 new films in the top 4 on 17th Jan 2009. Averaging twice a year.

The Top 4 on 17th Jan 2009 was:

01 Role Models

02 Slumdog Millionaire

03 Bride Wars

04 Defiance

 

It also happened with 3 new in the top 3 on 2nd Jan 2009:

01 Yes Man

02 Bedtime Stories

03 Australia

 

And 28th March 2008: a new top 4

01 Horton Hears A Who!

02 Spiderwick Chronicles

03 Step Up 2: The Streets

04 Meet The Spartans

 

Also 14th March 2008: a new top 3

01 Vantage Point

02 The Other Boleyn Girl

03 The Game Plan

Are my eyes deceiving me or ar you predicting Delirious? - History Maker will drop out of the Top 75?

No I`m not saying that, but it will come pretty close. Showing tonight at 71. And big falls throughout the week. Number 59 yesterday officially, someone said elsewhere! Was it number 40 on Wednesday? Will it be the biggest faller in "History"???? :lol:

Are my eyes deceiving me or ar you predicting Delirious? - History Maker will drop out of the Top 75?

 

I wouldn't be surprised if it dropped out of the top 100 - as far as I can tell it's totally dropped out of the iTunes top 300!

Cheers Dave!

 

This week in 1991 was a sad week - the first week without my weekly fix of 'Record Mirror' as the magazine had folded the previous week. A sad time. I thought their "Stop Press" announcement buried at the back of the magazine the previous week that they were closing was an April Fool's joke and I waited for the next issue to arrive in my local newsagents...

Oh no at GaGa slipping to #3 in the singles charts :(

I just pray she stays in front of Boyzone on the albums, and not do a repeat of last week

 

Here's me hoping that it goes exactly the same way as last week :thumbup: Mind you HMV selling her album for £3.99 for the last 3 weeks has certainly paid off for her.

Thanks for that, very surprised to see Jonsi so high in the album charts Go Do barely scraped the eighties on itunes singles chart.Will All Night Long manage to go Top 40 on Sunday it is at 33 on itunes.
Here's me hoping that it goes exactly the same way as last week :thumbup: Mind you HMV selling her album for £3.99 for the last 3 weeks has certainly paid off for her.

 

I know they count towards the same album, but is it the original they have been selling for £3.99, because it is in my HMV. Since you can't buy her 8 new tracks on a separate CD in the UK, I dunno why they need to sell the original. Anyone who has TF, won't want it again, those who haven't got it won't really want to buy TF when they can get TFM with eight extra tracks.

 

Thanks Dave

 

Good to see Diana doing very well on pre-orders, surprised Chipmunk isnt in the top 5- I thought he would beat her, but it looks like she could get number 1 that week, next weeks chart should be more exciting with Professor Green and Kate Nash

I know its the original at £3.99, but if you look on the HMV top 10 of the day on their site you will see that it is the original version of the album that is selling the most copies, and it has been for the last 3 weeks!

This week in 1991 was a sad week - the first week without my weekly fix of 'Record Mirror' as the magazine had folded the previous week. A sad time. I thought their "Stop Press" announcement buried at the back of the magazine the previous week that they were closing was an April Fool's joke and I waited for the next issue to arrive in my local newsagents...

I remember the week well. It was a pretty good week weatherwise in Southern England. I believe Sounds also disappeared in April 1991. I used to enjoy their spoof on Piers Morgan, with a column called "Prize Moron"!! So many Music Papers gone now. It was in 1990, that Number One magazine was swallowed up by the BBC, which meant no one any longer printed the Network Top 75. Only a Top 50 via NME & Melody Maker.

Sounds and Record Mirror were both published by the same company and both closed the same week. The company (Morgan Grampian) also published Music Week until it was sold a few years later. Record Mirror almost made a return in 1995 but the publishers decided to start an internet alternative called Dotmusic rather than bring back the magazine. It is from Dotmusic's forums (which closed in 2004) that Buzzjack and other forums descend...
