In 89, MARC ALMOND had a solo version of SOMETHINGS GOTTEN HOLD OF MY HEART on an album. This was created exactly like the 1967 original number 5 hit for GENE PITNEY. Marc, and his record company (Parlophone), persuaded GENE PITNEY to add his vocals, for the single release. HOLLY JOHNSON spun away from FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD for his first solo outing...MIKE RUTHERFORD teamed up, with PAUL CARRICK, for the LIVING YEARS, dedicated to his own father. How many other people had PAUL CARRICK sung with? Well, he had sung on many other records, and his first group, as such, was ACE (who had a top 20 hit in 74, with HOW LONG), later covered by ROD STEWART in 1982. MORRISEY scored another top 10 hit, away from the SMITHS (next week we expect MORRISEY back in the top 10, with the new single). There was BOBBY BROWN pre-marriage to who?...WHITNEY HOUSTON of course! MICHAEL BALL sang LOVE CHANGES EVERYTHING from ASPECTS OF LOVE (the latest ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER production), helped by Radio 2 airplay (this about the only song in the singles chart, to be played by the station, at that time) along with presenters DEREK JAMESON, KEN BRUCE, JIMMY YOUNG, GLORIA HUNNIFORD, the late ADRIAN LOVE, and the late JOHN DUNN...SAMANTHA FOX sung DUSTY SPRINGFIELD...I ONLY WANNA BE WITH YOU also got to number 4 for BAY CITY ROLLERS, and the TOURISTS, unfortunately SAM FOX stalled at number 16! MILLI VANILLI had a BONEY M connection, same production team etc, and also we discovered MILLI VANILLI didnt sing on their records! Finally on 89, WILL TO POWER scored with the medley BABY I LOVE YOUR WAY and FREEBIRD....BABY I LOVE YOUR WAY (a PETER FRAMPTON song circa 76, from the live album, and FREEBIRD twice a hit for LYNYRD SKYNYRD in 76 and 83.

01 01 NOW YOU`RE GONE - BASSHUNTER/DJ MENTAL THEO

 

* Denotes download only. There are 16 download only tracks, in this week`s top 75.

 

Looks like DAVID JORDAN is about to smash the top 3 next week. We tipped it for number one, on next week`s chart, last Monday! Can BASSHUNTER hold on for 5 weeks? This week NICKELBACK finally entered the physical top 15, expect them to go down next week, when MARK BROWN, MORRISEY, MICHAEL JACKSON will hit the top 10, and expect the FEELING to enter the top 10, on downloads alone. What about BJORK can she make the top 20, with EARTH INTRUDERS? Outside this week`s 40 we have PLAIN WHITE T`s (HEY THERE DELILAH, could be back in the 40, tomorrow) LEON JACKSON is 42, alongside ROBYN 43 (WITH EVERY HEARTBEAT), STRONGER - KANYE 44, GIMME MORE - BRITNEY 45, HTILY - RIHANNA, TIMBALAND, 50CENT, BLOC PARTY, DUFFY *and MICHAEL JACKSON*...in the top 60, its entries for URBNRI*, CRAIG DAVID*, BIFFY CLYRO*. CHASING CARS and SNOW PATROL goes to 51, and ROBYN and HANDLE ME is 52. ATOMIC KITTEN*, THE FEELING*, JAY Z/LINKIN PARK* and ISRAEL KAMIKAWAWOO`LE* are other entries in the full chart.

 

Won`t add a download chart, there wasn`t one on Smash Hits tv today, so can`t put that up either, but we have seen the iTunes thread anyway. Looking around other download charts, we see RIHANNA is number one in Woolworths downloads, MICHAEL JACKSON is in the top 30, on Tesco`s chart at 26, meanwhile DAVID JORDAN is number 4, in Tesco, but only 27 on Woolworths! NICKELBACK slip on HMV`s, and Tesco, and KELLY ROWLAND is at 3 in one, and 4 on another.

 

Look out in coming weeks for new releases from CASCADA, ALICIA KEYS, and DELINQUENT. Don`t forget Next Week`s Chart, on Monday from 4ish, where there will be battles in the albums with JACK JOHNSON, MARY J. BLIGE, HOT CHIP, ADELE (going for 2nd week at the top), and PAVOROTTI. Will RIHANNA`s physical release of DON`T STOP THE MUSIC head the singles? I shouldn`t think so, but ADELE could take a big tumble.

01 NE TECHNIQUE - NEW ORDER

 

I haven't played that album in yonkers, its awesome, but was it under Etectronic not New Order, unless I'm thinking of the wrong album.

 

Forgive me, I just looked it up, it was New Order, I was thinking of the wrong album

What album were you thinking of Mikey? You confused me, I was thinking Electronic was a Pet Shop Boys thing, as in "Getting Away With It", later in 1989???

The album I was thinking was Electronic by Electronic which features "Getting Away With It", which was Bernard Sumner collabotating with Johnny Marr

Oh yeah, remember now. The track of "Getting Away With It", featured guest vocals by Neil Tennant (of the Pet Shop Boys)!!

Trevs you were on about the Reynolds Girls. I remembet that song when I started school. When was it released in 89 coz I am sure it came out in 88? :huh:

It may have been played in 1988, it certainly hung around the bottom of the chart, for a few weeks, before it hit the top 40. I reckon it was released around the first, or second week of Feb 1989 possibly the 6th or 13th. An anti-oldies song, with lines such as, "Rock n`Roll Radio, Music From the Past, We Don`t Want Them Back, I`d Rather Jack". The British female duo, took the song to number 8, on both MRIB and GALLUP charts in March 89. I first heard it on the ED STEWART show, on Radio Mercury in Sussex. ED wasn`t listening to the lyrics, because he stated that they sang, "I`d Rather Jack, WITH Fleetwood Mac!" At the time, oldies started being played, more frequently, when the Gold stations, such as CAPITAL GOLD (London), FIRST GOLD RADIO (Guildford) began. Even Radio one, were playing older hits on shows such as, SIMON BATES playing songs, as far back as 1958. Like I said, Radio 2, were playing 40s records, back in 89, and hardly any chart singles, at all.
