Well last week, we said a bye bye to the mrib charts. After 30 years, the company will be concentrating on films and dvds, as well as mobile entertainment. Dave Taylor, was rather sad (like a few of us). He will complete our thread later around 10pm, with his thoroughly researched singles/tracks.

 

Dave has loosely based it, on Chart Show tv`s chart, but only loosely, as he has added all the info from Singles/download sites/stores to boost it up to tonight. Chart Show tv, will be running a brand new top 40 in full video form (Saturdays, from 3pm). Who need`s Ferne and Reggie!

 

I am going to start the thread with Albums, Dvds, and top film charts.

 

We have taken Album info, from stores and download sites. Dave was toying around with putting pre-release albums in, but decide not too. Although it would have been an idea, but then that is a prelude to Next Week`s Chart, that we do on Mondays.

 

So, starting with 20 biggest albums, followed by a classic MRIB album chart from 1980.

 

This Week`s Album top 20

w/k beginning 26th Apr 08 (last week`s positions are taken from the last mrib chart)

01 NE AGE OF UNDERSTATEMENT - LAST SHADOW PUPPETS

02 01 KONK - KOOKS

03 03 CLUBLAND CLASSIX - VARIOUS

04 04 NOW 69 - VARIOUS

05 07 SPIRIT - LEONA

06 05 ROCKFERRY - DUFFY

07 08 TRANCE ANTHEMS/DAVE PEARCE - VARIOUS

08 02 E=MC2 - MARIAH CAREY

09 NE GOOD TO BE BAD - WHITESNAKE

10 13 ADDICTED TO BASSLINE - VARIOUS

11 09 SCOUTING FOR GIRLS

12 12 GARAGE CLASSICS - VARIOUS

13 15 ALL THE RIGHT REASONS - NICKELBACK

14 RE 19 - ADELE

15 19 STEP UP 2 THE STREETS - VARIOUS/OST

16 14 101 DRIVING SONGS - VARIOUS

17 NE HARD2BEAT CLUB CLASSICS - VARIOUS

18 17 DREAMING OUT LOUD - ONE REPUBLIC

19 18 BACK TO BLACK - AMY WINEHOUSE

20 10 ACCELERATE - R.E.M.

 

LAST SHADOW PUPPETS, win the race easily. It will be short lived for them, at the top because Monday see`s releases for MADONNA, PORTISHEAD, SAM SPARRO, and THE FALL. They should all go top 20. MADONNA, and PORTISHEAD for the battle.

 

Here are the top 20 albums from 1980 this very week, from the MRIB/RECORD BUSINESS charts

01 01 GREATEST HITS - ROSE ROYCE

02 10 SKY 2 - SKY

03 05 MAGIC OF BONEY M - BONEY M.

04 02 12 GOLD BARS - STATUS QUO

05 03 DUKE - GENESIS

06 17 GREATEST HITS - SUZI QUATRO

07 06 SINGLES ALBUM - BOBBY VEE

08 14 IRON MAIDEN - IRON MAIDEN

09 16 HYPNOTISED - UNDERTONES

10 22 BY REQUEST - LENA MARTELL

11 NE HEAVEN AND HELL - BLACK SABBATH

12 07 THE BARBARA DICKSON ALBUM - BARBARA DICKSON

13 26 SNAKES AND LADDERS - GERRY RAFFERTY

14 04 BRITISH STEEL - JUDAS PRIEST

15 08 WHEELS OF STEEL - SAXON

16 09 REGATTA DE BLANC - POLICE

17 15 PRETENDERS - PRETENDERS

18 NE SOMETIMES YOU WIN - DR HOOK

19 12 COUNTRY NUMBER ONE - DON GIBSON

20 11 FACADES - SAD CAFE

 

Getting heavey in 1980 with rock from SAXON, JUDAS PRIEST, IRON MAIDEN, and slightly less heavy with STATUS QUO, and GENESIS. Was it just coincidence that JUDAS PRIEST and SAXON had titles with STEEL in them? Strikes of the British Steel industry kept the news well going in 1980!! Quite a mixed bag with BOBBY VEE and LENA MARTELL both sandwiched between the heavy stuff. BARBARA DICKSON scored with some singles from the album, but LENA MARTELL could not follow up her number one single "ONE DAY AT A TIME". FERGAL SHARKEY was doing great with the UNDERTONES....DR HOOK had a few hits in 1980, from the album....SKY were doing classical rocky stuff, we all remember the impressive "TOCCATA". I always thought it sounded a little like the "RETURN OF THE SAINT, theme", with IAN OGILVY, on tv at the time! Just outside the 20 that week was PETE TOWNSEND and the EMPTY GLASS album (Pete, of the WHO of course, who featured on an edition of ALEXIS KORNER`s Sunday night show on Radio One, in 1980). Those VARIOUS ARTISTS were scarce in 1980, but STARTRACKS was just outside the 20. SAD CAFE were in the top 20, and should have done better with their follow up singles to "EVERY DAY HURTS", but never made the top 10 again.

 

Here are this weeks top UK films, from the Box Office (courtesy of Screen International)

w/k beginning 25th Apr 08

01 01 21

02 NE FOOLS GOLD

03 NE IN BRUGES

04 NE STREET KINGS

05 02 SON OF RANBOW

06 04 SPIDERWICK CHRONICLES

07 05 STEP UP 2 THE STREETS

08 03 27 DRESSES

09 NE HAPPY GO LUCKY

10 07 HORTON HEARS A WHO

 

Numbers of 21, and 27 in the top UK films this week, for the second week running.

 

Let`s take a look at the top dvds (from Blockbuster Rentals)

01 NE ST TRINIANS

02 NE ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS

03 03 STARDUST

04 04 RUN FAT BOY RUN

06 08 THE INVASION

07 06 BEOWULF

08 10 THE KINGDOM

09 07 RATATOUILLE

10 12 30 DAYS OF NIGHT

 

WE OWN THE NIGHT falls out of the top ten from last week, along with THE BRAVE ONE and MR BROOKS. On the other hand if you add up all the people that bought "ST TRINIANS", as well as those that rented it, you have 59,412 takers! Pretty impressive!

 

Dave will take over soon with his brand new Singles and Tracks chart. But first here is the Singles chart from 1980 this very week

01 05 GENO - DEXY`S MIDNIGHT RUNNERS

02 01 CALL ME - BLONDIE

03 15 COMING UP - PAUL MCCARTNEY

04 02 KING/FOOD FOR THOUGHT - UB40

19 24 DON`T MAKE WAVES - NOLANS

20 44 I SHOULDA LOVE YA - NARADA MICHAEL WALDEN

21 NE WHAT`S ANOTHER YEAR - JOHNNY LOGAN

22 23 MISSING WORDS - THE SELECTOR

23 13 POISON IVY - LAMBRETTAS

24 31 WHEELS OF STEEL - SAXON

25 36 STARING AT THE RUDE BOYS - RUTS

26 NE GOLDEN YEARS E.P. - MOTORHEAD

27 NE BREATHING - KATE BUSH

28 30 HI FIDELITY - ELVIS COSTELLO AND THE ATTRACTIONS

29 16 TURN IT ON AGAIN - GENESIS

30 28 LET`S DO ROCK STEADY - BODYSNATCHERS

 

DEXY`S and KEVIN ROWLAND stealing the number one, from BLONDIE in1980. PAUL MCCARTNEY`s title was apt, and smashing up the top 20. DAVID ESSEX had the theme to the film "SILVER DREAM RACER". Already told you about SKY. UB40 got more play on FOOD FOR THOUGHT more than KING, the double A sided hit. DETROIT SPINNERS re-worked a FOUR SEASONS number from 67. Good advice from LEON HAYWOOD. The MADNESS song came from the WORK REST AND PLAY E.P. RODNEY FRANKLIN had a catchy instrumental hit....SAD CAFE`s hit had a ROLLING STONES connection....BARBARA DICKSON had her third top 20 hit....JOHNNY LOGAN won EUROVISION, he was born in Australia, but spent all his life virtually in Ireland. He beat the UK entrants PRIMA DONNA (who came third) with LOVE ENOUGH FOR TWO, and totally missed the top 40, by a couple of positions. NARADA MICHAEL WALDEN was actually pronounced NARDA but everyone got his name wrong. I saw him in concert in 1988, and he spent about 10 minutes telling us! MOTORHEAD got heavy again with their E.P. The NOLANS followed up I`M IN THE MOOD FOR DANCING, but didn`t make waves! SELECTOR and BODYSNATCHERS were off the TWO TONE record label, and revived the ska movement. The RUTS took the fledging punk sound. Meanwhile my favourite female was KATE BUSH. Outside the top 30 was BAD MANNERS with NE NE NA NA NA NA NU NU, great lyrics yeah!

 

Stick around Dave will complete the thread with the Singles chart (the new one, he put together between 9, and 11pm)........

) denotes position without downloads only, and without downloads only Timbaland`s "Scream", is number 40, because it is number 51, tonight! :yahoo: = is the position on Chart Show TV`s top 40. MGMT not on their playlist.

Funnily enough on Download sites....on MSN`s download top 40, SAM SPARRO is number one, on Tesco`s top 30, it`s MADONNA on top, as is HMV`s, and of course the mighty iTunes have WILEY (and WHO told you that, it would knock off Madonna)!!!!!

 

Next week, look out for JAY SEAN, BEN`s BROTHER, USHER, ROBYN, and CRISIS on the physical release, and on downloads KYLIE, WIDEBOYS, and CARDIFF CITY F.C. (What)!!!! Yep "BLUEBIRDS FLYING HIGH", is a tip for the top 40, from me!!

 

I am going to end with a competition. All you have to do, is tell us correctly what will be in a certain position, on next Friday night`s thread. So, on this thread next Friday....What song will be number 19? Get your answers, to me personally (not on this thread). Just send me a message, and win the Madonna album, on CD. Simple as that!! :rolleyes:

Thanks Dave, for all the hard work see you soon.
Thanks Dave, it will be interesting to compare this to both Sunday`s top 40, and I will also tune in to Chart Show TV on Sky tomorrow afternoon. When does your chart break off Dave?

It breaks off at 5pm today, but the research team pushed it further, for an estimation, of further sales, and I reckon it will be very, very close to Sunday`s chart. Chart Show tv, should be good, coz it will have the complete top 40, before Radio One, like Trevs said, who needs the 2 johnnies, at Radio One! :w00t:

I can now see who is #40 on the official chart for today as #40 was missing from the update, by the looks of things its Robyn or the Wombats. But I'm going for Robyn as she was in the chart yesterday a bit higher.

 

Thanks guys for posting the charts.

Thanks Mart!n, I think you would find Robyn, as the missing number 40. I don`t reckon she will do that well, with that track, and will struggle to make the top 20, just like Jay Sean.

Thanks trevs and Dave for doing this every week, excellent work :thumbup:

 

Interesting thread! Thanks again guys! :thumbup:
Thanks guys! :D Exciting and interesting stuff. Good to see Jay Sean in too. Wonder if it will be as successful, as Ride it. :)

If you have a minute Dave, or Trev..On Capital Radio 1991 - 93, they used to run a chart show on Wednesday nights 7.30 - 10pm with Clive Warren (before he went to Radio One, and back again to local radio), sometime it was hosted by Neil Fox (he also did the Capital Countdown, on Saturdays when he took over from Peter Young, Alan Freeman, and Pat Sharp). On both Wednesdays, and Saturdays, they played a top 40 in full. The show disappeard when the Pepsi Chart, took over from the Network top 40.

 

How did these Weds/Sat charts work, they apparently had airplay, but sometimes were closer to the Radio One top 40??

Hi Brian, I used to listen to those charts on Capital. They were both compiled by MRIB until 1993. All they were really, was the midweek chart, and Saturday chart, based on London only sales. If a record in the chart wasn`t included in Capital`s airplay, it was removed. I remember SL2`s "On A Ragga Tip, being a victim in 1992. Capital only started to put in on their playlist, when it went to number 2 nationally. Strange but true, after Capital added it to their playlist, it went straight in to their chart at number 2, the following week!

 

The MRIB London only chart existed the same as the national one 1978 - 1993. Like you said Peter Young did it until 1982, Alan Freeman dropped it for the NME chart June 1982 - Sept 1984 (then return with the London chart, 1984 - Dec 1988). Pat Sharp did it from Jan 1989 - 1991, when Neil Fox took over. Clive Warren was just a stand in host in 1991, when he did it on a Wednesday night. It was a good and pacey show, and again far better than Hit40uk, and Radio One. You may remember Clive Warren, went on to be a stand in host, for Mark Goodier on Radio One!

I can squeeze in a quick update here...

 

Wiley could climb to number 4.

 

Ashlee Simpson will be in the top 30 tomorrow around no` 29, at least.

 

Gabriella Cilmi look`s like being 30 still, but pushing Fragma out to 31.

 

The Hoosiers may jump over Rihanna and go to 36.

 

Robyn will be up to around 38.

 

Jay Sean is likely to rise a bit, with Kylie (so she will definately be in the top 50).

 

Hadouken will go up to around 65.

Tuned into Chart show tv, how`s the format done?

It should be a mix of the complete top 40, and new releases/bubblers. It should start with Hoosiers on there. They will feature around 50+ videos in 4 hours. It is a good format, and no djs!

 

It is a tad behind our chart, and breaks off around Wednesday, but the bubblers and new releases top it up. If you can sit through adverts at 17 passed, 23 to, 3 mins to the hour, it should be ok!

Oh I see. I will send you a copy of it one day, and then you can check it out. I would probably say for being new on a Saturday afternoons, it will do well. Although the time of 3 - 7pm, maybe difficult for some people. I think it would go down better, on a late week day.

It`s a good show. So far they hae featured 35 vids, in 2 hours & 15 mins :yahoo: Although I got lost at 23, for some reason. Did I miss it? Or was it missed? :o
