It's Friday 8th October (not 2th Sept as it says. That's just Dave in preparation)

 

Evening All. Alan Rogers standing in for Dave for the next 2 weeks. Dave's on holiday. I'm not (unfortunately :cry: ). Glad to be jumping his account & PC though. Well it didn't seem worth joining as a new member as Dave already did a template for me. Only hope I don't log myself out, because I don't know his secret password, & I'm also invisible by the look of the members online list.

 

Thanks to Mikey for his welcoming message the other day>>Thanks mate. Hopefully no probs. Message from Dave, Mikey was>>Will you send me the usual chart on Sunday Evening? Cheers. ;)

 

A lovely day today with temperatures topping out at 70 degrees in the heart of Berkshire. Must've been the hottest October day this Century. On with job, eyes down looking, as it's business as usual. I usually help the old boy (Dave that is) with the gang & it's the charts of the week from Sun to Fri, based on the usual claptrap of averages/sales & then the back in an hour or so, for the big singles/songs of the week. It's all put together by a panel of exchart bods, calling themselves DTR (a non profitting org)

I went to see Eat Pray Love last week. The audience were mainly ladies (which was a bonus on it's own). The film itself (from the book of course) does just like the title suggests. Liz Gilbert (the main character) gets divorced, & travels the world. Eating in Italy, Praying in India, & finding love in Bali. Though I did actually understand why the audience was mainly ladies, & found it rather cliched.

Well we've got some doggy stuff there. Ting Tings aren`t far away with "Hands" & Killing Joke return with an outsider "European Super State". So that's something.

 

The Top Pre-Order Albums, this week

01 COME AROUND SUNDOWN - KOL 18th Oct

02 PROGRESS - TAKE THAT 22nd Nov

03 IN & OUT OF CONSCIOUSNESS - ROBBIE 11th Oct

04 WIDE AWAKE - JOE MCELDERRY 25th Oct

05 SEASONS OF MY SOUL - RUMER 1st Nov

Now, I preferred KOL before the commerciality took hold. I was seeing them before the singles began, let alone albums. This re-hash hype of Robbie is unbearable, as is Take That. It'll keep the nonsense Commercial Radio stations happy though. Infact the top 5 will. Rumer definately a Smooth Radio push, & they've got Mr Boring working for them, or is it Mr Mistake? That's Mark Goodier. If you've have time to give him a listen Mon-Fri 10am-1pm, you'll see what I mean. Reading some of Dave's comments on him, I quite see what he means. I can understand why Mark, no longer works for the BBC. I know his ex-top 40 producer, & remembering him saying Mark has a brain like a sieve, & he had to write everything down for him. Good job, he doesn't produce for Yates then. No brain to start with! :lol:

The shop buyers & physical format supporters don't like Cee Lo Green much, but there's no surprise in Robbie Peter Williams & Gary Barlow. Will they take the title of Top Combined Position this week? Hang on, & you'll find out very soon.

04 10 BABY COME BACK - PATO BANTON

 

:angry:

 

I'll have you know I bought this in 1994 as a mere 13 year old and thought it was brilliant. Can't say I listen to this regularly - probably last heard this a couple of years back!!! :D

 

Brilliant that Take That failed to go no. 1 with the anti climatic 'Sure' (a genuine non-song of its time :manson: ) and the staying power of 'Always' by Bon Jovi was great - definitely one of my fave rock ballads of the 90s. ^_^

How times have changed? It's like the singles sales of circa March 2006 - especially compared with an earlier period of time (March 1996 was strong for eg). 11.30 million viewers wouldn't even get you top 20 in 1994. :o

So from the pre-orders I'd guess next week Joe to be number 1, Pixie top 10, and Ting Tings top 10- not sure about SFG, I think top 20 at best, looks like unless something big is out, The Wanted could be number 1 on the week of the 18th! :o and ugh at Shayne Ward that high- I really hope he isnt number 1 with that horrible cover :puke:

 

and Take That doing so well with over a month to go with JLS still nowhere to be seen is looking hopeful for Take That to beat JLS that week

Yes them days people had like 3 channels so there wasnt much choice now people have hundreds of channels so the audience is spread out as there is loads of choice.

There were 4 channels then, but Sky was up & running. Obviously yes they were just about to increase their number of subscribers, but I think Dave said the other week (& I can confirm) British TV viewing figures actually peaked in 1976, & have fallen ever since.

 

When you think that in 1976/77, no Soaps topped the chart. It comes to make you think.

 

It would be interesting to see what TV figures would be like today, if we did just have 5 channels. TV Bosses would have to try much harder, as Soaps alone would'nt wash. :lol:

 

Not only is their Digital TV & Sky, but of course DVDs have kicked off since, although video recorders weren't run of the meal until around 1990 anyway. I remember in 1988 going to WhSmiths, & there were some Dr Who videos on sale. The Price?? A wopping £35 & it was only a hour & a half! :o

 

Yes them days people had like 3 channels so there wasnt much choice now people have hundreds of channels so the audience is spread out as there is loads of choice.
Plus back then the figures were based on a sample of people filling in diaries and ticking boxes about what they watched. I once filled in one of those diaries and it was basically an unreliable way of recording viewing figures.

 

When it changed to the current method of recording figures in 1996 all programmes lost at least 2m to 3m viewers.

Are single presales any use at all in predicting chart success these days? :huh:

Only for Physicals, as this week showed with Cee Lo & the other two.

So will RiRi's tribute band really chart this upcoming Sunday? :lol:

No! But you were robbed last week, when everyone but OCC included Party Hit Kings & they didn't. A recount on the word "Official" please. How can something be so, when some 18,000 sales were ignored.

The record company left it too late to release 'Shame'. I reckon had it been released three weeks ago it could've gone to no. 1 as their competition would've been 'Start Without You' in its second week. No doubt Robbie's greatest hits collection will be no. 1 in a fortnights time.

The OCC can't track the sales if the 'artist' hasn't allowed for them to do so. This applies to all cheap 'Tribute Bands' and 'Hitmakers'.

Thanks Alan :thumbup: I really like your use of arrows :heehee:

 

Anyway, gooooo Cee-Lo :) Can I ask if Hurts are still top 75?
