Independant radio still strongly taking the mrib chart in 1992, which showed with both U2, and Michael Jacson...BLACK OR WHITE, was in a remix battle with the original in Jan 92, Gallup listed them separately, but mrib listed both together...well it was the same song, and artist! With lots of dance, indie and other rock around, GUNS N` ROSES going WINGS with the 73 Bond theme, MC HAMMER lost his MC, for the theme to the ADAMMS FAMILY, the big film there of. SIMPLY RED heading back up, with the help of the album. EAST SIDE BEAT not getting much play on Independant radio, and a song that I could not find on YOU TUBE, the reworking of the CHRISTOPHER CROSS 1980 minor uk hit. CLIFF RICHARD was on the way out with the Christmas hit WE SHOULD BE TOGETHER (AT XMAS), but the quickie follow up THIS NEW YEAR stalled at 33....My favourite track by MOTLEY CRUE stalled at 38, HOME SWEET HOME (sounding like GUNS N` ROSES)!! Actually most of the best records, were outside the top 30, RUBBISH by CARTER USM, MAGIC`S BACK - MALCOM MCCLAREN, and OLD RED EYES IS BACK with the BEAUTIFUL SOUTH. The idea of the WEDDING PRESENT having 12 hits in a year went well, when they released a record every month, for the whole of 1992, starting with the release of BLUE EYES, on the 6th Jan 92. I certainly would not have predicted, that WET WET WET were on their way to have a number one single, with GOODNIGHT GIRL. It was a slowish, climb to the top, for them.

Yeah, it`s a shame. It might be a good idea, if Supermarket etc, start stocking all single releases again...taking note of Tesco`s own success, with Katie Melua. Katie, is still hanging in Tesco`s top 10. Had it been more available, it would still be in the national top 20, for sure.

It`s a good one, and it even popped up, on a Sky music channel, last week! Quite a lot of females in that 92, chart, Mikey...

The physical chart doesn`t seem to like Rihanna, does it? Has she any outside of the 20?

Hate that I Love You, is the only physical that is still about the top 40. I would think trying to find a physical version of Umbrella, might be difficult. I have not seen it in any shop, this side of last October! The amount of downloads, would out shine, physicals even more, at the bottom end of the combined Physical/downloads chart. If you took a purely physical top 75...the amount of copies the number 75 sold, would be just a handful of copies!
