The first goat replied "Well it wasn't as good as the book!" :lol: Which explains why it didn't hang about in the top 10 Dvds very long!

This week: The Marx Brothers A lack of ITV programmes in there, because a big strike hit ITV Screens & after every channel was in dispute no further programmes were screen by ITV until November 1979.

The Top Albums in Aug 1979: With those various artists on week 3 at the top 01 01 BEST DISCO ALBUM IN THE WORLD - VARIOUS, keeping out E.L.O. & Gary Numan 02 03 DISCOVERY - ELO 03 02 REPLICAS - TUBEWAY ARMY 04 04 I AM - EARTH WIND AND FIRE 05 05 BREAKFAST IN AMERICA - SUPERTRAMP 06 06 VOULEZ VOUS - ABBA 07 15 SOME PRODUCT-CARRI ON - SEX PISTOLS 08 09 BEST OF - THE DOOLEYS 09 11 OUTLANDOS D'AMOUR - POLICE 10 08 PARALLEL LINES - BLONDIE 11 14 STREET LIFE - CRUSADERS 12 07 BRIDGES - JOHN WILLIAMS 13 10 COMMUNIQUE - DIRE STRAITS 14 16 NIGHT OWL - GERRY RAFFERTY 15 12 DO IT YOURSELF - IAN DURY 16 18 MORNING DANCE - SPYRO GYRA 17 NE EXPOSED - MIKE OLDFIELD 18 13 LIVE KILLERS - QUEEN 19 21 MANILOW MAGIC - BARRY MANILOW 20 22 20 GOLDEN GREATS - BEACH BOYS The Top Singles in Aug 1979: Bob Geldof & that nutty school girl, holding off Cliff. The wonderful Sham 69, the Police re-isssue, Abba sounding out of place, but the fabulous Dooleys almost being Abba! Dave Edmunds doing his usual thing though...nicking someone elses song. In this case Elvis Costello. Never a fan of Mr Edmunds, myself. Did Shakin' Stevens take over Dave's job later? Well he always did other people's songs too, & came from Wales as well! :teresa: 01 01 I DON'T LIKE MONDAYS - BOOMTOWN RATS 02 06 WE DON'T TALK ANYMORE - CLIFF RICHARD 03 14 REASONS TO BE CHEERFUL - IAN DURY 04 15 AFTER THE LOVE HAS GONE - EARTH WIND & FIRE 05 08 HERSHAM BOYS - SHAM 69 06 02 CAN'T STAND LOSING YOU - POLICE 07 03 ANGEL EYES/VOULEZ VOUS - ABBA 08 10 DIARY OF HORACE WIMP - ELO 09 04 WANTED - DOOLEYS 10 07 BEAT THE CLOCK - SPARKS 11 19 DUKE OF EARL - DARTS 12 05 GIRLS TALK - DAVE EDMUNDS 13 23 GANGSTERS - SPECIALS 14 27 BANG BANG - B.A. ROBERTSON 15 20 STAY WITH ME TIL DAWN - JUDIE TZUKE 16 34 ANGEL EYES - ROXY MUSIC 17 09 BORN TO BE ALIVE - PATRICK HERNANDEZ 18 22 MORNING DANCE - SPYRO GYRA 19 24 OOH WHAT A LIFE - GIBSON BROTHERS 20 13 IF I HAD YOU - KORGIS 21 11 MY SHARONA - THE KNACK 22 18 GOOD TIMES - CHIC 23 12 BREAKFAST IN AMERICA - SUPERTRAMP 24 43 GOTTA GO HOME/EL LUTE - BONEY M 25 29 IS SHE REALLY GOING OUT WITH HIM - JOE JACKSON 26 28 SWEET LITTLE ROCK N' ROLLER - SHOWADDYWADDY 27 30 JUST WHEN I NEEDED YOU MOST - RANDY VANWARMER 28 21 BAD GIRLS - DONNA SUMMER 29 16 SILLY GAMES - JANET KAY 30 NE MONEY - FLYING LIZZARDS 31 48 TEENAGE WARNING - ANGELIC UPSTARTS 32 41 GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS - KANDIDATE 33 17 ARE FRIENDS ELECTRIC - TUBEWAY ARMY 34 NE LOST IN MUSIC - SISTER SLEDGE 35 37 ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK - TELEX 36 40 YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'VE GOT - ME & YOU 37 NE IF I SAID YOU HAD A BEAUTIFUL BODY - BELLAMY BROTHERS 38 32 HARMONY IN MY HEAD - BUZZCOCKS 39 NE ROCK LOBSTER - B52'S 40 NE GONE GONE GONE - JOHNNY MATHIS The Top Pre-Order Singles this week 01 DYNAMITE - TAIO CRUZ 23rd Aug 02 PLEASE DON'T LET ME GO - OLLY MURS 30th Aug 03 START WITHOUT YOU - ALEXANDRA B 6th Sept 04 IT'S NOT WAR JUST THE END OF LOVE - MANIC STREET PREACHERS 13th Sept 05 WONDERFUL LIFE - HURTS 23rd Aug The Top Pre-Order Albums this week 01 FLAMINGO - BRANDON FLOWERS 6th Sept 02 IN & OUT OF CONSCIOUSNESS - ROBBIE WILLIAMS 11th Oct 03 BAND OF JOY - ROBERT PLANT 13th Sept 04 TBA - TAKE THAT 22nd Nov 05 TEENAGE DREAM - KATY PERRY 30th Aug Hang on for the top 75 lowdown, but first the top physicals this week: 01 02 WANTED 02 NE ONE NIGHT ONLY 03 01 SATURDAYS 04 NE ASH 05 03 JLS 06 05 B.O.B. 07 NE ROLL DEEP 08 04 KYLIE 09 06 KATY PERRY 10 07 LADY GAGA The Klaxons are the only other major new entry in the physical chart at 15. Sales are said to be way low. But in consideration, sales in that margin were never outstanding in the Summer months in that field (though obviously not as low as these days). Don't forget if you want to be outstanding in your field....Get a job as a scarecrow! ;) Hang on, while I buy a new joke book....
August 20, 201014 yr Have we gone back in time :unsure: 2009??? RED DEAD REDEMPTION and Toy Story 3 are still #1. Taio #1 on pre-orders :o And Go Katy on pre-orders too :dance:
August 20, 201014 yr Cheers Dave! Good to see Iron Maiden at #1 on the albums chart! And thanks for the 1979 charts! I remember ITV being on strike (and The Times newspaper too!), the ITV strike helped Doctor Who get its all time best viewing figures when the new series returned a few weeks later...
August 20, 201014 yr Thanks Dave AMAZING to see Hurts top 5 on pre-orders. Do you think they could go top 20 officially?

Taio Cruz next week. Will we ever see the end of these one weekers? Don't forget Jason Scott on Sunday at 4pm http://www.thesuperstation.info for the complete unofficial top 40 & 7pm for the hour of bubblers/new releases. And Retro fans, join Richard Todd et moi on Atlantic Oldies 2NG at 2pm on Sunday for a look back to the BBC Top 40 for August 1967, & the end of the Pirates.
August 20, 201014 yr Author Thanks Dave AMAZING to see Hurts top 5 on pre-orders. Do you think they could go top 20 officially? No, Tom I don't. :puke2:
August 20, 201014 yr Nice to see the Manic Street Preachers in the Pre-Release chart, what are the chances of debuting at #1 and bricking it the week after. And I've just finished reading the #2 book by Stieg Larsson, awesome, I recommend this book.
August 20, 201014 yr Taio Cruz might be no. 1 on the Pre-Release chart but I suspect Olly Murs will sell more copies the following week and seems like a foregone conclusion 'Please Don't Let Me Go' will be UK #1 in a fortnights time. Nice to see the Manic Street Preachers in the Pre-Release chart, what are the chances of debuting at #1 and bricking it the week after. Very very slim. Having heard the Manics new track, I personally think the song will be lucky to go low top 10.
August 20, 201014 yr based on those pre-orders: 23rd: Taio Cruz- Dynamite 30th: Olly Murs- Please Dont Let Me Go :o (more likely Katy Perry though) 6th: Alexandra Burke- Start Without You 13th: Manic Street Preachers- Its Not War, Just The End of Love :o (could not though as they are mainly a physical act) either way, the one weekers wont be stopping any time soon Thanks as always Dave- great at OMG finally leaving the chart, although shocked Train and Shakira are climbing back and :cry: at Chase and Status- another great number 11 that deserved top 10
August 20, 201014 yr I've just started the 2nd "The Girl..." book. I was gonna watch the first movie this week, but then I read that it contains parts of book #2 and that I should read book 2 first so I don't get it spoiled :(
August 20, 201014 yr Well, looks like C&S are gonna join the list of #11s that should have gone top 10 :( I think the new Manics single will do about the same as Morrissey's I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris (#21)
August 20, 201014 yr Olly Murs will not go to #1. More likely Katy Perry will. I really do think she will score a chart double.
August 20, 201014 yr Olly Murs will not go to #1. More likely Katy Perry will. I really do think she will score a chart double. Are the single and album being released on the same day? That'll seriously hinder Teenage Dream (the singles)'s chart success... I think Olly Murs could get it :P Then again, Olly isn't R1 playlisted :o But I think he can do pretty well anyway, like The Wanted.
August 20, 201014 yr Dave Edmunds doing his usual thing though...nicking someone elses song. In this case Elvis Costello. Never a fan of Mr Edmunds, myself. Did Shakin' Stevens take over Dave's job later? Well he always did other people's songs too, & came from Wales as well! :teresa: Of course Dave produced the Sunsets back in the 60s and was back doing the same for Shaky on his own in the mid 80s. The Sunsets were due to release I Hear You Knockin' but Dave beat them to it. Shaky did a version on his 2007 album Now Listen which also by coincidence featured an Elvis (Costello) cover - Pump It Up!
August 20, 201014 yr Iron Maiden No. 1 album! Might actually listen to the chart show this Sunday if they play a song from the No. 1 album...do they still do that? And what point in the chart rundown do they do the albums?
August 21, 201014 yr Also believe Olly Murs could outsell Katy Perry. If Diana Vickers first single was number 1 why not Olly Murs?
August 21, 201014 yr Kylie still top 10 in the phyisicals is great, EastEnders is top of the ratings again and Brandon Flowers is the number 1 pre album, so im well happy with all this and thank you for posting.
August 21, 201014 yr Also believe Olly Murs could outsell Katy Perry. If Diana Vickers first single was number 1 why not Olly Murs? I love both, but I'd prefer TD at number 1. I think Olly will do it tho :o
