Posted March 3, 200817 yr Evening All! The weekly guide to what could happen this week, when we take the gang out, into the stores, and find out what`s happened since the weekend`s chart. Now last week, we had Katie Melua, in our singles chart at 11! What happened is a mystery, or maybe not! She was in both Woolies, and HMV top 20s last week, obviously shifting a few physical sales. Apart from that mishap, last week we had 10 out of the 20 in correct positions, have a check back!! We had 17 in total in the 20, but 7 were not correctly placed. 28 were placed in the top 30, yesterday and we had 36, placed in the 40 (though again, not totally correct position wise. We had a mishap with the album chart, because we forgot the significant Monday info from HMV, and Tesco. Woolies, Asda, and WH Smiths, had Jonathan Ansell, at-top of their album chart. Today in those 3 stores, he finished up at the bottom of their top 20s. All corrected this week, and we think, we are going to do well, for next Sunday. So, the Stores CD/Vinyl sales, and the added info of downloads, from the Tesco, Woolies, itunes, HMV, and the newly added Play.com downloads, which are good value, i`m told. Today, myself, Dave, Peter, and John got this in the album top 20... 01 NE ROCKFERRY - DUFFY 02 01 BACK TO BLACK - AMY WINEHOUSE 03 09 VERSION - MARK RONSON 04 02 SEVENTH TREE - GOLDFRAPP 05 05 LIFE IN CARTOON MOTION - MIKA 06 12 19 - ADELE 07 08 ALL THE RIGHT REASONS - NICKELBACK 08 32 SOUND OF BASSLINE - VARIOUS 09 NE MASH UP MIX - VARIOUS 10 16 BREAKDOWN 08-VERY BEST OF EUPHORIC DANCE - VARIOUS 11 NE DIG LAZURUS DIG - NICK CAVE/BAD SEEDS 12 10 THRILLER 25 - MICHAEL JACKSON 13 NE BEST OF - THE CARDIGANS 14 23 CALL ME IRRESPONSIBLE - MICHAEL BUBLE 15 19 THIS IS THE LIFE - AMY MACDONALD 16 20 SPIRIT - LEONA LEWIS 17 42 BACK HOME - WESTLIFE 18 24 X - KYLIE MINOGUE 19 28 DREAMBOOATS AND PETTICOATS - VARIOUS 20 04 JOIN WITH US - FEELING Outside the 20 albums, ALICIA KEYS is 21, JONATHAN ANSELL 22, TAKE THAT 23, followed by DONNY OSMOND, BILLY FURY, ANDREA BOCELLI, RIHANNA, JACK JOHNSON, PLANT AND KRAUS, BRITS HITS 08, MINISTRY OF SOUND ANTHEMS, and ULTIMATE NRG...KELIS has a new entry at 33 with THE HITS...BLACK CROWES, GUTTER TWINS, BILLY BRAGG and the FELICE BROTHERS enter the top 50. On the singles today, we found this... 01 01 MERCY - DUFFY 02 NE US AGAINST THE WORLD - WESTLIFE 03 06 STOP AND STARE - ONE REPUBLIC 04 03 ROCKSTAR - NICKELBACK 05 02 WHAT`S IT GONNA BE - H TWO 0 06 04 NOW YOU`RE GONE - BASSHUNTER 07 15 COME ON GIRLS - TAIO CRUZ 08 05 WOW - KYLIE MINOGUE 09 07 CHASING PAVEMENTS - ADELE 10 08 DON`T STOP THE MUSIC - RIHANNA 11 09 SUN GOES DOWN - DAVID JORDAN 12 14 LOW - FLO RIDA 13 16 SCREAM - TIMBALAND 14 NE FASCINATION - ALPHABEAT 15 23 WITH YOU - CHRIS CROWN 16 38 CAN`T SPEAK FRENCH - GIRLS ALOUD 17 10 WORK - KELLY ROWLAND 18 13 VALERIE - MARK RONSON 19 12 JUST FOR TONIGHT - ONE NIGHT ONLY 20 17 PIECE OF ME - BRITNEY SPEARS 21 NE MY DESTINY - DELINQUENT 22 28 RULE THE WORLD - TAKE THAT 23 22 A & E - GOLDFRAPP 24 NE GREAT DJs - TING TINGS 25 24 SOMETHING GOOD - UTAH SAINTS 26 18 I THOUGHT IT WAS OVER - THE FEELING 27 25 APOLOGISE - ONE REPUBLIC 28 20 CRANK THAT - SOULJA BOY 29 NE BETTER IN TIME/FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND - LEONA LEWIS 30 21 SUPERSTAR - LUPE FIASCO We could not see the TING TINGS in the shops today, where it was released is open to question. So, it is just based on the downloads (which disqualified it from the official chart)...Outside the 30, ALICIA KEYS (NO ONE), VAMPIRE WEEKEND, AMY MACDONALD (RUN), PLIES/AKON (HYPNOTISED), JAY SEAN, MIKA, WOMBATS, SCOUTING FOR GIRLS, HOT CHIP...KANYE WEST battles with both KT TUNSTALL, and JANET JACKSON for a top 40 place...SEAN KINGSTON moves up to 43 today we found. Other entries from SUGABABES, WE ARE SCIENTISTS (Top 50) and GET CAPE WEAR CAPE FLY in what would be the top 75. On Monday 5th March 2001, We had this in the singles, for w/k ending 17th March 2001... 01 NE UPTOWN GIRL - WESTLIFE 02 01 IT WASNT ME - SHAGGY 03 02 WHOLE AGAIN - ATOMIC KITTEN 04 NE CLINT EASTWOOD - GORILLAZ 05 NE JUST ANOTHER DAY - JONATHON WILKES 06 NE HE LOVES YOU NOT - D:REEM 07 09 TEENAGE DIRTBAG - WHEATUS 08 08 ALWAYS COME BACK TO YOUR LOVE - SAMANTHA MUMBA 09 06 MS JACKSON - OUTKAST 10 07 I`M LIKE A BIRD - NELLY FURTADO 11 NE JADED - AEROSMITH 12 NE THINK ABOUT ME - ARTFUL DODGER 13 NE PIANO LOCO - DJ LUCK/MC NEAT 14 05 NOBODY WANTS TO BE LONELY - RICKY AND CHRISTINA 15 NE XHIBIT - X 16 03 SO WHY SO SAD - MANICS 17 04 FOUND THAT SOUL - MANICS 18 11 HERE WITH ME - DIDO 19 NE THIS YEARS LOVE - DAVID GRAY 20 13 PARADISE - KACI 21 21 DANCIN` IN THE MOONLIGHT - TOPLOADER 22 NE TENDER HEART - LIONEL RITCHIE 23 10 FEELS SO GOOD - MEL B. 24 08 AMERICAN DREAM - JAKATTA 25 17 LADYBOY IS MINE - STUNTMASTERZ 26 14 THE VISION - MARIO PU 27 16 SHUT UP - DANE BOWERS 28 18 HE DON`T LOVE YOU - HUMAN NATURE 29 23 BACK HERE - B.B. MAK 30 20 ROLLIN` - LIMP BIZKIT We had 28 in the 30, in 2001 (not necessarily in the right order, but the top 4 correct. We missed D12 (SxxT ON YOU), which was at 35, on our chart, but enterered the official chart at number 10. Obviously, the original song was not played, due to offensive lyrics. How right will we be for Sunday, and the mids? Time will tell! Edited March 3, 200817 yr by trevs
March 3, 200817 yr Author Leona Lewis track is 'Better I :D n Time' not 'Better In Love' Thanks Mart!n. Love on the brain!! :naughty:
March 3, 200817 yr You had Now You're Gone by Nickelback, just corrected it for you. Good work again.
March 3, 200817 yr Thanks Trevs, as usual The 4 of you did well last week really like you said. It was only Katie that caused the "problem". I can imagine with all the info other mistakes occur, such as the albums last week. Just want to thank you and your team, for all the work each week for both this thread, and the Saturday charts too. This Saturday mrib had all the top 40 basically the same, but a bit different from the BBC. :rolleyes: No other site, has an updated chart every single day and you make it happen to make Buzzjack in my mind the best chart based site, in the UK. B) Edited March 3, 200817 yr by abc1
March 3, 200817 yr Looks like a decent prediction, although I can't see Nickelback taking H 'Two' O from 27k and 41k last week respectively. The Utah Saint's have released the proper digital version of Something Good 08 I'd expect that to pick up this week. Good work.

B) Thanks for that! It is sometimes a hard job, for us to pick stores info. 3 of us, work in the music business anyway. But doing a full day`s work, and spending lunch searching sales etc, is not always long enough. Certainly, we have had success, and at times, the odd mishap! Songs obviously sell better in different stores. Our local Woolworths, no longer stock singles. Around Reading you`re hard pressed to find many shops, that do still stock singles. With Singles, being replaced more than ever by downloads, soon the download chart, will most certainly, replaced the singles chart altogether...then all you are left with is download sites, and the like. It may be a while before that happens to album sales, but if and when it does, the record shop could become extinct, a great shame. It used to be so easy, to get info for a weekly sales based prediction of singles, now it is increasingly harder. Album sales based predictions, are easier than singles at present. Before this year, we never even used to bother about predicting a sales based album chart. It was exactly 19 years this week, that we first compiled a prediction, for the singles chart, in March 1989. The idea did indeed come from Radio Luxembourg`s Next Week`s Chart show, along with a show broadcasted on Radio Mercury, on a Wednesday night at 8pm, where they rundown the latest singles sales, for the South of England. We broadcasted the predicted chart, on Student radio, and also Hospital radio, in various places. We only had 2 hours, and crammed all 40 records in to the time, in those early days! Virtually non-stop. It is great to do it on Buzzjack, every week. I do miss playing it out in full, though! It would be great to be able to do that again, with none of the nonsense, of radio chart shows, of today!!
