The weekly unofficial look at whats been happening this week on the chart front. Based on averages & average sales for the time of year, all put together by our friends at DTR. Today I think, I had the luck of old Reilly. There I was down the Bookies, meant to back the Favourite in the 2.10 at Thirsk. I put my money on the 1.40 race by mistake, & won. Where as the race I should've done, lost!

The Top Albums in Aug 1991: Metallica reigning supreme, but not with Joseph not far behind. Personal favourite of the time "Sound Of The Suburbs" the VA Comp, with all those new wave/come punk hits via The Members, the Jags, & the Buzzcocks was languishing in the top 20 & the top Compilation of the week.

01 01 METALLICA - METALLICA

The Top Singles in Aug 1991: The 7th of 14 weeks at the top on the Network Chart for Bryan Adams keeping off Right Said Fred, Heavy D, Extreme, Prodigy, Guns N Roses, Salt N Pepa, Erasure, & the Scorpions for all that time. It took Kiri Te Kanawa to knock Bryan off on 21st Oct 1991. Of course, Radio One disagreed with that because they had it down as U2. But even so Monty Python was actually even ahead of Bryan on the midweek of 17th Oct. It was certainly a close week on that one!

02 03 START WITHOUT YOU - ALEXANDRA BURKE 20th Sept

03 04 IT'S NOT WAR JUST THE END OF LOVE - MANICS 13th Sept

04 09 I'M IN LOVE - ALEX GAUDINO 20th Sept

05 NE PARTY GIRL - MCFLY 6th Sept

Now we are all going to buy McFly in September, & put at the top of the chart. Just to watch them plummet 40 places on the 2nd week!

 

The Top Pre-Order Albums this week:

01 01 FLAMINGO - BRANDON FLOWERS 6th Sept

02 05 TEENAGE DREAM - KATY PERRY 30th Aug

03 02 IN AND OUT OF CONSCIOUSNESS - ROBBIE WILLIAMS 11th Oct

04 04 tba - TAKE THAT 22nd Nov

05 06 AUDIO SECRECY - STONE SOUR 6th Sept

 

Coming up the top 75 lowdown...but first let's take a look at the top physicals this week:

01 NE RUMER

02 01 THE WANTED

03 03 THE SATURDAYS

04 NE HURTS

05 02 ONE NIGHT ONLY

06 06 B.O.B/HAYLEY WILLIAMS

07 07 ROLL DEEP

08 05 JLS

09 NE INNA

10 08 KYLIE MINOGUE

A thought for Taio Cruz here...He's only number 11 on the Physical Top 20! :o But the surprise is Rumer, which is the biggest seller with most saless of the physical coming from Amazon.co.uk. Possibly a lot of popularity & interest in that comes from Smooth Radio, who had many enquiries weeks before the release. I pretty well think that Smooth is doing rather well these days, & is probably the commercial version of Radio 2...but much better! Even more annoying is the fact, that the Smooth playlist doesn't get used on the ever daft Big Top 40.

 

 

Hang On...

+ overall position on iTunes for the week

 

Another one week chart-topper? How will it be next week?

Our forecast for Sunday....will be rain! :lol: Seriously though, we think that Rumer will slip a bit by then & Ne-Yo might fall to 10. Can Biffy Clyro, hang in?

 

Don't forget to hear a complete countdown of the top 40 based on iTunes & physicals, join Jason Scott this Sunday at 4pm on http://www.thesuperstation.info Retro fans join Richard Todd & me, on Sunday at 2pm on Atlanticoldies2ng for a look back to August 1976, when the Bank Holiday was also a wash out, after 3 months without any rain.

I've changed that one. And of course Katy will top the album chart, this time next week for sure.

Nice to see Rumer at #1 in the physical chart, I never though that would be such a hit

Im shocked at Rumers success, I dont even know her- Taio Cruz 11 in physicals?! that really is surprising :o

 

Olly Murs could well get it as he has downloads and physicals and doing very well on pre-orders- although obviously, Katy is still in contention

 

hope the fact their doing well on pre-orders means the Manics can get another top 10 hit :wub:
