Posted January 28, 200817 yr So, it`s the Monday post, of next week`s chart. The day when 3 of my other colleagues, take a look at what has been selling yesterday, and today, in various record shops. We take 4 shops sales info, add it together, then take a look at 4 download charts, add that in. Then top it up with Radioplay. This give`s a good idea, of how the charts, will look on the following Sunday! Firstly this week, I want to thank Brian Hankin (from another site), for all your interest last week. We got all over the web, last week because no one believed JAY SEAN would be that high! Let`s start with the albums... 01 NE 19 - ADELE 02 01 SCOUTING FOR GIRLS 03 02 RAISING SAND - PLANT/KRAUSS 04 03 THIS IS THE LIFE - AMY MACDONALD 05 22 ALL THE RIGHT REASONS - NICKELBACK 06 04 HAND BUILT BY ROBOTS - NEWTON FAULKNER 07 06 TRICK TO LIFE - HOOSIERS 08 05 BEAUTIFUL WORLD - TAKE THAT 09 07 BIG TUNES 2008 - VARIOUS ARTISTS 10 NE SCREAM AIM FIRE - BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE 11 10 GOOD GIRL GONE BAD - RIHANNA 12 NE LATER LIVE (JOOLS HOLLAND) - VARIOUS 13 NE R + B LOVE SONGS - VARIOUS ARTISTS 14 12 GUIDE TO LOVES LOSS AND DESPERATION - WOMBATS 15 15 ROBYN - ROBYN 16 11 MINISTRY OF SOUND ANTHEMS 91 - 08 - VARIOUS ARTISTS 17 08 COOL - LUPE FIASCO 18 24 ULTIMATE HITS - GARTH BROOKES 19 09 LIFE IN CARTOON MOTION - MIKA 20 14 IN RAINBOWS - RADIOHEAD On our combined artist/compilation album chart last week, we had the top 4 totally correct, and almost the top 11. Lots of compilation albums in the charts, at the moment. Shame they are not included in OCCs main chart. They do publish a combined one, on the subscription to Music Week. Outside the top 20, down goes NOW 68, CLUBBERS GUIDE TO 2008, POWER OF LOVE is 23, LEONA is 24, BILLY FURY has a new entry at 25 (This being the 25th anniversary, of his sad passing in 1983). Also there are entries for GILES PETERSON, DAVID JORDAN is in the top 30, down goes AMY WINEHOUSE, MICHAEL BUBLE, and there is another new entry for K.D. LANG, in the top 40, along with MARS VOLTA and also, VAMPIRE WEEKEND. Here are todays singles, seemingly a close battle on... 01 02 NOW YOU`RE GONE - BASSHUNTER 02 01 CHASING PAVEMENTS - ADELE 03 13 WORK - KELLY ROWLAND 04 04 DON`T STOP THE MUSIC - RIHANNA 05 08 ROCKSTAR - NICKELBACK 06 05 SUPERSTAR - LUPE FIASCO 07 03 PIECE OF ME - BRITNEY SPEARS 08 NE JUST FOR TONIGHT - ONE NIGHT ONLY 09 37 SUN GOES DOWN - DAVID JORDAN 10 10 ELVIS AIN`T DEAD - SCOUTING FOR GIRLS 11 11 BE MINE - ROBYN 12 06 RIDE IT - JAY SEAN 13 07 HOMECOMING - KANYE WEST 14 09 CRANK THAT - SOULJA BOY 15 12 APOLOGISE - TIMBALAND/ONE REPUBLIC 16 32 JUST FINE - MARY J. BLIGE 17 22 NO ONE - ALICIA KEYS 18 14 VALERIE - RONSON/WINEHOUSE 19 15 RULE THE WORLD - TAKE THAT 20 18 BLEEDING LOVE - LEONA LEWIS Last week, we managed to get 17 actually in the 20, not neccesarily in the right order though! It appears to be a 3 way battle at the top today, but BASSHUNTER reclaim the top spot. Outside the top 20, T2 are 21, WOMBATS 22, GIRLS ALOUD 23, BOOTY LUV 24, then CASCADA, MIKA, KYLIE and SCOUTING FOR GIRLS (SHE`S SO LOVELY)...New entries in the top 40, from ELLIOT MINOR, HOT CHIP (at 29), MICHAEL JACKSON/WILL I AM was in last week, and makes a steady climb, today. Further down (but not in the 40), were other entries for LAURA MARLING, RICHARD HAWLEY, and DUKE AND THE SPIRIT. Let`s compare a vintage chart from same week in 1975, this chart was announced on Radio Luxembourg, on Tues 28th Jan 1975. Supposably the chart for week ending 8th Feb 75... 01 01 JANUARY - PILOT 02 09 GOODBYE MY LOVE - GLITTER BAND 03 14 SUGAR CANDY KISSES - MAC AND KATIE KISSOON 04 02 THE BUMP - KENNY 05 05 MORNING SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN - DONNY AND MARIE OSMOND 06 04 NEVER CAN SAY GOODBYE - GLORIA GAYNOR 07 17 PLEASE MR POSTMAN - CARPENTERS 08 08 ARE YOU READY TO ROCK - WIZZARD 09 07 HELP ME MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT - JOHN HOLT 10 18 FOOTSEE - WIGAN`S CHOSEN FEW 11 11 PROMISED LAND - ELVIS PRESLEY 12 10 CRYING OVER YOU - KEN BOOTHE 13 16 PURELY BY COINCIDENCE - SWEET SENSATION 14 03 MS GRACE - TYMES 15 12 STARDUST - DAVID ESSEX 16 20 SOMETHING FOR THE GIRL WITH EVERYTHING - SPARKS 17 06 DOWN DOWN - STATUS QUO 18 23 NOW I`M HERE - QUEEN 19 24 BLACK SUPERMAN - JOHNNY WAKELIN AND THE KINSHASA BAND 20 14 I CAN HELP - BILLY SWAN In 1975, they had 16, out of 20 in, but again not neccesarily in the right order! They missed entries from HELEN REDDY and the STYLISTICS. See how we do, with this weeks info, on Sunday`s new chart, and the mids. And thank you to Peter, Dave, and Simon, for all the info today. Tip of the day...DAVID JORDAN we reckon, could be on his way to the top of the chart??? Edited January 28, 200817 yr by trevs
January 28, 200817 yr Author I see your points on David Jordan :) When is the physical released? :huh: 4th Feb (next Mon). It might blast the top 3 to bits!
January 28, 200817 yr Totally off-topic, but did MRIB ever compile an airplay chart in the '80s? I'm curious as to how the airplay charts looked pre-October 1990!
January 28, 200817 yr Author Totally off-topic, but did MRIB ever compile an airplay chart in the '80s? I'm curious as to how the airplay charts looked pre-October 1990! Not directly. But of course during the 1984 - 93 period Airplay was included in the weekly chart, on Independant Radio, abeit 5% of airplay. To which, at the time was stated, "by using airplay in the main chart, it means our chart, is nearly 2 weeks ahead, of the rest". It is possible to work out some airplay, by looking at the Network Chart, from those days. Certainly, Wham`s "I`m Your Man" was an airplay number one, well in front of Feargal Sharkey`s "A Good Heart" in November 1985. Which put Wham as a new entry at number one, the week of release (ahead of Radio one`s top 40).
January 28, 200817 yr I have a gut feeling Kelly Rowland is going to miss out on a #1 this week and has to settle for #3, and poor Adele seems to be this year's Kate Nash stuck at #2, judging by the sales I posted earlier the Basshunter track is selling well, I never expected Basshunter to stay at #1 for more than 2 weeks its exceeded my expectations. I just hope some artist will do a great honour of knocking it off its perch next week, but that looks highly unlikely at this rate.

I go along with your top 3 prediction for Sunday's chart. I think Basshunter will spend 5 weeks at the top and will be replaced by David Jordan. Despite looking unlikely to make number 1, it has been a brilliant start to the year for Adele. She will have the number 1 album this week, she's won an award and the single looks set to be at number 2 for the 3rd week and by the end of the week Chasing Pavements will be the 2nd biggest selling track in 2008.
