01 01 BLEEDING LOVE - LEONA LEWIS

 

5 weeks for Leona, at the top, and 5 weeks at number 4, for One Republic! The Spice Girls, show us that time has not been good to them. Elvis, enters at 12, with a top 10 hit from Jan 73, a small top 40 hit for Willlie Nelson in 82, and a big number 1, for the Pet Shop Boys in 87. Out of the 30, goes KANYE WEST to 34, NICOLE to 35, ROBYN to 32, SAMIM to 39, and AMY WINEHOUSE (BACK TO BLACK), to 40. The GALLOWS/LETHAL BIZZLE enters at 31, LED ZEPPELIN is 36, KATIE TUNSTALL is 46, MICHAEL BUBLE is 47, PENDULUM at 48. On the bubble outside the 50, are DAVID GUETTA, and JUSTIN/BEYONCE.

 

On a pure physicals only MRIB chart, the top 10 singles sales chart, would look like this...

01 01 BLEEDING LOVE - LEONA LEWIS

02 03 RULE THE WORLD - TAKE THAT

03 NE HEARTBROKEN - T2/JODIE AYSHA

04 NE HEADLINES - SPICE GIRLS

05 05 APOLOGISE - TIMBALAND/ONE REPUBLIC

06 04 VALERIE - RONSON/WINEHOUSE

07 02 2 HEARTS - KYLIE MINOGUE

08 NE ALWAYS ON MY MIND - ELVIS PRESLEY

09 08 NO ONE - ALICIA KEYS

10 06 HOME - WESTLIFE

 

So, if it weren`t for the added download singles, the SPICE GIRLS would still have a top 5 hit. Good, or not?

Edited December 1, 200717 yr by trevs

Chart show tv today matched the top 10 exactly today, but the 11 -20 was total different. Missing was Elvis, Bloc Party, and Runrig. Girls Aloud were played as 15.

By the way, Trevs who is/was Freddie Parrotface Davis?

Well you know Chart Show tv!!! Freddie Parrot Face Davis, is a comedian (who mainly appealed to kids) in the 60s and 70s. He had an ITV series in the 70s (Samuel Tweet). He was mostly noted by the way he slurped his voice by sticking his tongue through his mouth. I don`t even know, if he is still alive. I think he is. Last time I saw him, he was on shows like BLANKETY BLANK, and the GENERATION GAME.

Thank you for that info. I see you have added the physical top ten. So the Spice Girls, are actually selling as well as no` 4. Interesting to know that! Have downloads got a lot to answer for :angry:
