The Flashback Charts in September 1985:

The Top TV, back then

01 FRESH FIELDS 16.30...Anton Rodgers, Julia McKenzie & that woman next door, in the Thames sitcom

02 OPEN ALL HOURS 16.10...Ronnie Barker & David Jason in the tired sitcom, with the same plot every week

03 CORONATION STREET 15.80...in the year that Sue Nicholls (Audrey Potter) started to work with Alf Roberts (Brian Moseley)

04 SUPERMAN III 15.50...Christopher Reeve stars in an ITV showing of the 1983 film

05 BROTHERS MCGREGOR 15.10...a spin-off sitcom from Coronation Street featuring 2 dodgy car dealers, who were actually played by Phillip Whitchurch & Paul Barber in the sitcom, but in the Street they were played by Carl Chase & Tony Osoba.

06 IN SICKNESS & IN HEALTH 14.70...Alf Garnett & more antics in the sitcom, that doesn't get shown these days, because tv bosses are frightened to show it because they don't like people to have a sense of humour these days!

07 MINDER 14.40...Arthur & Terry getting into more problems. "Life In The Fast Food Lane". Arthur sells some dodgy car phones. Showing on Wednesdays at 9pm

08 EASTENDERS 13.20....Angie & Den and that lot

09 WHICKER'S WORLD 12.00...Alan Whicker tells us about his World travels

10 CROSSROADS 11.30

12 BLANKETY BLANK 10.90...Les Dawson hosts the game

13 3-2-1 10.90...Ted Rogers hosts the half baked game, & those nonsensical clues

14 DEMPSEY & MAKEPEACE 10.80...Michael Brandon & Glynis Barber star in the mis-matched crime/drama

15 DYNASTY 10.70...more problems with the Carringtons

16 STUNT CHALLENGE 85 10.50...Derek Thompson (Racing pundit) presents a series of stunts performed by various sport stars

17 EMMERDALE FARM 10.40

18 THE A TEAM 10.40...Mr T and Co, showing on Saturdays

20 NAME THAT TUNE 10.20...Lionel Blair & Maggie Moon host the musical quiz on Wednesdays at 7pm

Next to Saturday viewing, Wednesday was the biggest night for tv in 1985, with Name That Tune, Coronation Street, The Brothers McGregor, & Minder taking the evening for ITV.

 

The Top Albums in Sept 1985...and we only on Now 5! On it's 5th week at the top, keeping off all the biggies like Madonna & Dire Straits, although thet'd been number one anyway.

The Top Singles in Sept 1985 in The Number One Chart with The Number One Coffee (The Network & Nescafe)...the best chart on the radio in 1985? We think so, always a week ahead & so much better than today's ghastly nonsensical Big Top 40. 3 weeks at the top for David & Mick with the Live Aid performance. Bonnie Tyler actually managed to reach number one on the London only chart in 1985. Stevie Wonder got the Network Chart number one & kept off Midge. And did we reckon that Cameo, Midge Ure, & Five Star were going to reach the top 30 on the following week? David Jensen thought so...& was right!

Personally can't wait until Sunday 17th October, when Barlow & Williams fall from the top spot & the hype ceases! Don't you just hate things being shoved down your throat?! :teresa: Unfortunately, I then have to contend with Robbie's album...as if he needs the money! Hurray for KOL! ;) Well I suppose, we don't have to predict too much, as the bleeding obvious is inevitable.

) Position without downloads alone

 

= Position on Chart Show tv

 

- Overall position on iTunes for the week

 

Alexandra does it for week 2, taking her past 130,000 at the very least. Now last week, we were talking about Greg Street & various other covers that don't get registered. Well I did some digging this week & got told that anyone that makes the top 40 will always be included. If they don't make the 40, then they will never be included because the BBC do not recognise positions outside the top 40 & are not allowed to mention positions 41-75 anyway.

Thanks Dave :thumbup:

 

Really hoping that Stromae can stay top 25.

I'm a bit disappointed you didn't credit Enter The Ninja to 'The Answer' :(

Well i don't speak Afrikaans! It may have been confusing, because of a certain Irish band also called The Answer...Remember them?

Thanks Dave

 

on the pre-orders, looks like Robbie and Gary will have number 1 in the bag for that week, good to see KOL so high, looks like they'll definately go top 5- if only it wasnt for Joe McElderry :(

Well i don't speak Afrikaans! It may have been confusing, because of a certain Irish band also called The Answer...Remember them?

 

I don't remember them per se but I have heard of them. They had a top 30 (?) album last year IIRC.

 

EDIT: Yup, 'Everyday Demons', #25.

Resident Evil 5 and Assassins Creed 2 ahead of Halo: Reach in the games chart?! Something has got to be wrong there! Halo is a huge franchise, one of the biggest in gaming, and was just released this week - but Resi 5 and AC2 have been out for ages?

A lot of big games open at 2 or 3 and then climb to #1 2nd week, not sure why. They might be released midway through the week for this chart or something...

Halo: Reach sold 330,000 copies in the first day though, which is the third biggest first day sales ever. Surely it should easily be the number one game.

Aren't games released on Friday and the chart published on Saturday or something? I thought that's why - they only have 1 day of sales vs. 7 for everything else - not 100% sure about that though but I'm sure that's how it used to work at least.
