April 17, 201411 yr This thread has motivated me to compile a list of all the charttoppers I have on the cassette single format, including nearly everything in the 90s. If anyone is interested I can share my list on here year by year, but apologies if the formatting goes awry when I paste it over from Word. Here firstly is a short list of the examples I have from the 80s, not many sadly, but it serves as a test of the formatting for me if nothing else. I read on another site that between 1978 and 1989 cassingles were chart eligible, but only if they had a relatively high price (not sure if this meant consumer or dealer price), so that, in May 1989, a too cheaply priced cassingle was able to initially cause Kylie Minogue's Hand On Your Heart to initially chart at #2 rather than #1 (which it later did anyway). As a result of Kylie cassingle confusion the chart rules were changed in respect of the minimum price for the cassingle being greatly reduced, with effect from Monday 29th May 1989. This date therefore probably marks the point when the cassingle fully crossed over from a relatively expensive alternative format for collectors to instead be a cheap, popular and mainstream format that played an important (but too easily ignored now) role in the pop music industry of the 90s. The first new number one to benefit from the change in chart rules was #629 Jason Donovan's - Sealed With A Kiss, which just happens to be in my collection. In the short list below [sBS] at the end of a tracklisting means the tape was the Same Both Sides, but I have only indicated this where the sleeve or cassette itself make this clear as I haven't attempted to play any of the cassettes at this stage. I would be interested to know if other buzzjackers have any other charttoppers on cassingle from the 1978-89 period to add information to what I have. If this post works out ok then I can carry on for each year of the 90s and up to 2003, but in each case listing all the chartoppers and detailing if I have a cassingle format or not, so that those missing a cassingle can be identified and further researched. 1987/8 [#583-#620] #601 – Pet Shop Boys – Always On My Mind – EMI Manhattan 4XPRO-04057 [*not the UK cat no*] Cardboard Outer – Clear Cassette Always On My Mind Extended Dance Version/Do I Have To?/Always On My Mind [sBS] 1989 [#621-#638] #629 – Jason Donovan – Sealed With A Kiss – PWL PWMC 39 Cardboard Outer [but like a playing card packet with hanging tab] – Grey Cassette Sealed With A Kiss/Just Call Me Up #630 – Soul II Soul ft Caron Wheeler – Back To Life (However Do You Want Me – TENC 265 Plastic Outer – Clear Cassette [The printed cover design includes the price $3.99, so prob.

April 17, 201411 yr Wow, that's amazing!! I'd love you to continue, I for one, would find it fascinating.
April 17, 201411 yr Ok here's 1990. From now on an emboldened charttopper means it's in my collection (and details of the cassette then given), while an italicized charttopper means it appears not to be in my collection (although one or two tapes seem to have gone walkies since I last dug my collection out from the back of the cupboard, so it's possible I might be able to add the odd one back into the list later should I stumble across them in a different box or something). For charttoppers that are not in my collection I have done a very quick search on ebay to see if anyone is selling a UK cassingle of that charttopper, and then indicated where evidence of the existence of a UK cassingle was found. 1990 [#639-#655] #640 – Kylie Minogue – Tears On My Pillow – PWL PWMC 47 Cardboard Outer – Clear Cassette Tears On My Pillow/We Know The Meaning Of Love #641 – Sinead O’Connor – Nothing Compares 2U [Ebay evidence of a UK Cassingle] #642 – Beats International ft Lindy Layton – Dub Be Good To Me – Go Beat GODMC 39 Plastic Outer – Clear Cassette Dub Be Good To Me/Invasion Of The Estate Agents [sBS] #643 – Snap! – The Power – Arista 410309 [*No correlation to UK cat no?*] Plastic Outer – Clear Cassette The Power/The Power (Dub) [sBS] #644 – Madonna – Vogue – Sire W9851C Plastic Outer – Black Cassette Vogue (Single Version)/Keep It Together (Single Remix) [sBS] #645 – Adamski – Killer [Ebay evidence of a UK Cassingle] #646 – Englandneworder – World In Motion – Factory fac293c Plastic Outer – Clear Cassette World In Motion/The b-side #647 – Elton John – Sacrifice/Healing Hands – Rocket EJSMC 22 Plastic Outer – Clear Cassette Sacrifice/Healing Hands [sBS] #648 – Partners In Kryme – T.U.R.T.L.E.

April 17, 201411 yr And here's 1992. BTW If a charttopper has a note next to it about the cat no of the format not being the same as the 'UK cat no' then this means it doesn't appear to fit the cat no listed in Guinness (usually for the CD format from 92+ and 7" format before this), though in most cases this probably doesn't mean I have a non UK format or slightly different release, just that the numbers used for the different formats of that release didn't necessarily confirm to the usual pattern (whereby the same basic cat no has a 7 on the end for a 7", 2 or 5 for a CD, 4 or 0 for a cassette etc). 1992 [#673-#684] #673 – Wet Wet Wet – Goodnight Girl – Precious JWLMC 17 Plastic Outer – Clear Cassette Goodnight Girl/Ambrose Wykes [sBS] #674 – Shakespear’s Sister – Stay – London LONCS 314 Plastic Outer – Clear Cassette Stay/The Trouble With Andre #675 – Right Said Fred – Deeply Dippy -Tug CA SNOG 3 Plastic Outer – White Cassette Deeply Dippy (Single Mix)/Deeply Dubby (Single Mix) [sBS] #676 – KWS – Please Don’t Go/Game Boy – Network NWKC46 Plastic Outer – Clear Cassette Please Don’t Go (77 Sunshine Edit)/Game Boy #677 – Erasure – Abba-esque (EP) – Mute CMUTE 144 Plastic Outer – Clear Cassette Lay All Your Love On Me/S.O.S./Take A Chance On Me/Voulez Vous #678 – Jimmy Nail – Ain’t No Doubt – EastWest YZ686C Plastic Outer – Black Cassette Ain’t No Doubt (7” Version)/What Can I Say [sBS] #679 – Snap! – Rhythm Is A Dancer – Arista 74321-10213-4 [*No correlation to UK cat no?*] Plastic Outer – Clear Cassette Rhythm Is A Dancer (7” Edit)/Rhythm Is A Dancer (Purple Hazed 7” Edit) [sBS] #680 – The Shamen – Ebeneezer Goode [Ebay evidence of a UK Cassingle] #681 – Tasmin Archer – Sleeping Satelitte – EMI TCEM 233 Cardboard Outer – Black Cassette Sleeping Satelitte/Sleeping Satelitte (Acoustic Version) #682 – Boyz II Men – End Of The Road – Motown TMGCS 1411 Plastic Outer – Black Cassette End Of The Road (Pop Edit)/End Of The Road (Instrumental) #683 – Charles And Eddie – Would I Lie To You? – Capitol TCCL 673 Cardboard Outer – Black Cassette Would I Lie To You?/Unconditional [sBS] #684 – Whitney Houston – I Will Always Love You – Arista 74321 12065 4 Plastic Outer – Clear Cassette I Will Always Love You/Jesus Loves Me [sBS]

April 17, 201411 yr Robbie you just beat me to it! Oh, I think the World In Motion tape was the same both sides wasn't it? My brother had that one; we had a computer that used cassettes to store programs, so he wrote a "program" that would run the tape to search for a non-existent piece of software and so play the tracks.
