September 30, 200718 yr Author Yes, thanks to everyone for posting, I was a bit worried we would have a flop thread this week, but its been the best Chart Show thread since Xmas for me :D
September 30, 200718 yr To be fair to JK & Joel, they are much better DJs when presenting on daytime on Radio 1, but they've been well short of the professionalism shown by Mark Goodyer, Bruno Brookes or Richard Skinner when it came to the Sunday Chartshow countdown.
September 30, 200718 yr Yes, thanks to everyone for posting, I was a bit worried we would have a flop thread this week, but its been the best Chart Show thread since Xmas for me :D Yea, I really enjoyed joining in listen to Radio 1 today. A nice mixture of retro and Top40 tunes.
September 30, 200718 yr 23 Katie Melua - If You Were A Sailboat [P] http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/DRAMCDS0029.JPG Chart Run: 23 [1 wk] Release date: 24-9-2007 Availability: normally ships in 24 hours Number of Discs: 1 Catalogue Number: DRAMCDS0029 Label: DRAMATICO Video here: x25F3-sR2Yo track listing 1. If You Were A Sailboat 2. Junk Mail 3. Straight To DVD 4. This Year's Love My guess is this was inspired by that concert she did recently in which she performed at the center of the earth. Too bad this song didn't chart as high as some of her other hits like "The Closest Thing To Heaven" and "9 Million Bicycles"

September 30, 200718 yr Easily, the worst one-hit wonder song of all-time. No beat, No rhythm, No melody, etc: That's cos you're supposed to pay attention to the lyrics not the rest.
September 30, 200718 yr 20 (from 58) Enrique Iglesias - Tired Of Being Sorry [P] http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/1747082.JPG Chart Run: 58-20 [2 wks] Release date: 24-9-2007 Availability: normally ships in 24 hours Number of Discs: 1 Catalogue Number: 1747082 Label: POLYDOR Enrique Iglesias follows-up his hugely infectious top five smash hit single 'Do You Know?' with the release of the Latino and electro influenced 'Tired Of Being Sorry', the second single from his already gold-certified new album 'Insomniac'. - HMV Video here: X86S5oZzzh4 track listing 1. Tired Of Being Sorry 2. Tired Of Being Sorry [Ean Sugarman & Funky Junction Club Mix] Enrique Iglesias Forum This is sadly Mr. Iglesias' worse showing on the charts in 8 years since Rhythm Divine and it is a remake of some song that I heard on the radio a few years back. I can't remember the act who recorded it but it is a remake.
September 30, 200718 yr 17 (from 48) Jack Penate - Second Minute Or Hour [P] http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/XLS290CD.JPG Chart Run: 48-17 [2 wks] Release date: 24-9-2007 Availability: normally ships in 24 hours Number of Discs: 1 Catalogue Number: XLS290CD Label: XL Video here: 2Rjc0Q2ktgw track listing 1. Second, Minute Or Hour 2. A Good Weapon Discussion Thread Here Sounding exactly like a tune the Arctic Monkeys who have recorded on one of their albums. I wonder if Jack was inspired by the Spice Girls "Wannabe" clip when he made the video.
September 30, 200718 yr 15 Elvis Presley - Hard Headed Woman [P] http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/88697125162.JPG Original Chart Run (1958): 6-2-2-4-4-7-11-14-21-23-30 [11 wks] Chart Run: 15 [1 wk] Release date: 24-9-2007 Availability: normally ships in 24 hours Number of Discs: 1 Catalogue Number: 88697125162 Label: RCA Video Here (Meatloaf - Hard Headed Woman - Elvis Tribute show): zGgG01ZiqHA track listing 1. Hard Headed Woman 2. Don't Ask Me Why 3. Steadfast, Loyal And True [undubbed Master] This is redention from Meat Loaf is pretty good much better than the Elvis tune which got to #1 in 1958 for him in the US
September 30, 200718 yr 12 (from 41) Mark Ronson Feat. Amy Winehouse - Valerie [D] http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/88697186332.JPG Chart Run: 41-12 [2 wks] Release date: 15-10-2007 Availability: available for pre-order Number of Discs: 1 Catalogue Number: 88697186332 Label: COLUMBIA Video here: RI_xYIxUTE0 track listing 1. Valerie 2. Valerie [baby J Remix] 3. Valerie [Count Of Monte Cristal & Sinden Remix] 4. California [Live From Wireless Festival] Well it looks like this song could past the #9 peak of the Zutons' original from last year maybe Mark has a chance in a few weeks. Also Mark and his band were unoffical the house band at this year's VMAs and maybe should have backed up Britney Spears at the event.
September 30, 200718 yr More Retro - Biggest Singles In Chart History: Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody (1976 and 1991) Snap! - Rhythm Is A Dancer (1990) Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You (1992) Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Two Tribes (1984) Elton John & Kik Dee - Don't Go Breaking My Heart (1986) Bryan Adams - Everything I Do I Do It For You (1991) oOkxI2YtZXw Chart Run: 8-2-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-4-4-6-12-36-63-xx-xx-73 [25 wks] This was an OK but it didn't deserve the 16-week run it had in 1991 more like the 7 week run it had in the US.
September 30, 200718 yr More Biggest Singles: Gnarls Barkley - Crazy (2006) Spice Girls - Wannabe (1996) Wet Wet Wet - Love Is All Around (1994) - 15 weeks a #1 Rihanna - Umbrella (2007) - 10 weeks at #1 Bay City Rollers - Bye Bye Baby (1976) Black Box - Ride On Time (1989) Cher - Believe (1998) Meat Loaf - I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That) (1991) John Travolta & Olivia Newton John - You're The One That I Want (1978) fj0QLBthmis Chart Run 1978: 52-23-6-2-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-2-5-7-12-18-30-33-53-61-60-61-68 [26 wks] Chart Run 1998: 4-16-24-31-52-62-61-71-69 [9 wks] Nothing against John & Olivia this was the most overated soundtrack of all time.
September 30, 200718 yr 5 (from 64) Ida Corr vs. Fedde Le Grande - Let Me Think About It [P] http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/DATA170CDX.JPG Chart Run: 64-5 [2 wks] Release date: 24-9-2007 Availability: normally ships in 24 hours Number of Discs: 1 Catalogue Number: DATA170CDX Label: DATA Fedde has prepared his third salvo – and it's fair to say this young Dutchman is on a roll. 'Let Me Think About It' is a masterclass in dancefloor mechanics and pop sensibilities. Fedde has remixed Ida Corr's original into one of the most addictive and ingenious dance records for time. - HMV Video here: lqQv9J1vz4w track listing 1. Let Me Think About It [Radio Edit] 2. Let Me Think About It [Club Mix] Discussion Thread Here This unlike Fredde's earlier tunes has no rhythm to it and it is a dissapointment. Also I wonder if the clip for the tune helped the song enter at #5 this week.
September 30, 200718 yr 2 Shayne Ward - No U Hang Up / If That's OK With You [P] http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/88697131702.JPG Chart Run: 2 [1 wk] Release date: 24-9-2007 Availability: normally ships in 24 hours Number of Discs: 1 Catalogue Number: 88697131702 Label: BMG Shayne Ward returns with the sensational double A-side single 'No U Hang Up/If That’s OK With You'. Shayne has been working with some of the biggest names in the business to make a record that he can call his own; he has put his stamp on the new music to create a sound that is not only individual but also sexy and edgy. 'No U Hang Up' is a laid-back cool RnB groove and 'If That’s OK With You' is a feel good, uptempo pop-reggae track – combined, they provide the perfect soundtrack to the summer. In recent months Shayne has been working with a superstar team of producers, directors and choreographers to develop his exciting new sound and image. The new album was recorded in LA and Sweden with superstar producer Max Martin (Backstreet Boys, Justin Timberlake, Kelly Clarkson and Pink). Directing the video for ‘If That’s OK With You’ is the legendary Wayne Isham (Michael Jackson, Bon Jovi, Will Smith and Ricky Martin) and photography comes courtesy of creative genius Max Vadukul (Rolling Stone, Vogue, Armani, Express). - HMV Video here - No U Hang Up: LwVZ6aLOVWU Video here - If That's OK With You: yt5Lu5Bx5co track listing 1. No U Hang Up 2. If That's OK With You Discussion Thread Here I think Shane is very disapointing that this record only got to #2 this week, It would be very interesting where he is next week
September 30, 200718 yr Well done on an excellent chart thread this week - you guys managed a great mix of statistics, nostalgia, and info on today's new charts. You did a much better job than Radio 1 did actually! IMO the show was really poor and just playing a few token oldies didn't really mean much, especially as they never even mentioned the biggest selling single ever - 'Candle In The Wind'!!!! VERY pleased Sugababes got to #1, but angry that Dumb & Dumber never mentioned it being on downloads alone (although Heidi did!), or that they had broken a chart record. :(
