Posted May 2, 200817 yr Our weekly tribute to the now defunct MRIB singles and Album charts is here! Dave and me took a look at Chart Show tv`s top 40 (which is broadcasted Saturday 3pm - 6.30pm, playing the complete top 40 along with bubblers and new releases). Altogether getting 50 plus songs into 3 and a half hours! Anyway we looked at that, added in sales from today, and came up with the latest charts around exclusive to our brilliant forum here at Buzzjack (the best chart forum, on the web by far). We have top films, dvds, as well as a trip back to May 1983, and of course the very latest top 20 albums, and top 50 singles here in the UK. Let`s begin with the top films this week.... 01 NE FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL 02 NE THE EVE 03 01 21 04 02 FOOLS GOLD 05 03 IN BRUGES 06 05 SON OF RANBOW 07 NE DECEPTION 08 04 STREET KINGS 09 06 SPIDERWICK CHRONICLES 10 09 HAPPY GO LUCKY FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL pulls in a gross earning of £2,144,038...3 times as much as THE EVE (films courtesy of Screen International, for UK box office) Here are the top dvds.... 01 NE I AM LEGEND 02 01 ST TRINIANS 03 02 ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS 04 03 STARDUST 05 04 RUN FAT BOY RUN 06 NE BALLS OF FURY 07 06 THE INVASION 08 07 BEOWULF 09 09 RATATOUILLE 10 10 30 DAYS OF NIGHT I AM LEGEND was rented/bought by 124,877 takers, compared to 93,437 for ST TRINIANS (with I AM LEGEND having double takers of ST TRINIANS last week! (the dvd chart is a combination of Blockbuster/mribvideo sales info). Here are this week`s top 20 albums... w/k ending 9th May 08 01 NE HARD CANDY - MADONNA 02 NE THIRD - PORTISHEAD 03 01 AGE OF UNDERSTATEMENT - LAST SHADOW PUPPETS 04 03 CLUBLAND CLASSIX - VARIOUS 05 NE SAM SPARRO - SAM SPARRO 06 04 NOW 69 - VARIOUS 07 06 ROCKFERRY - DUFFY 08 NE CREAM-15 YEARS - VARIOUS 09 02 KONK - KOOKS 10 05 SPIRIT - LEONA LEWIS 11 07 TRANCE ANTHEMS 08/DAVE PEARCE - VARIOUS 12 10 ADDICTED TO BASSLINE - VARIOUS 13 11 SCOUTING FOR GIRLS - SCOUTING FOR GIRLS 14 28 LESSONS TO BE LEARNED - GABRIELLA CILMI 15 14 19 - ADELE 16 08 E=MC2 - MARIAH CAREY 17 12 GARAGE CLASSICS/MOS - VARIOUS 18 NE 101 TRANCE ANTHEMS - VARIOUS 19 19 BACK TO BLACK - AMY WINEHOUSE 20 13 ALL THE RIGHT REASONS - NICKELBACK Compilations still doing brill, with almost a dozen in the top 30, this week. MADONNA outsells them all though. (the album chart is compiled from sales across Britain, and download sites, including chart info up to and including Wednesday night). Let`s take a look back to May 1983 next, starting with the albums then.... w/k ending 7th May 1983 01 01 LET`S DANCE - DAVID BOWIE 02 02 THRILLER - MICHAEL JACKSON 03 07 TRUE - SPANDAU BALLET 04 05 SWEET DREAMS - EURYTHMICS 05 03 FINAL CUT - PINK FLOYD 06 04 FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF NIGHT - BONNIE TYLER 07 24 CARGO - MEN AT WORK 08 20 WHITE FEATHERS - KAJAGOOGOO 09 09 QUICK STEP AND SIDE KICKS - THOMPSON TWINS 10 08 WAR - U2 11 06 THE HURTING - TEARS FOR FEARS 12 12 TOTO IV - TOTO 13 NE LUXURY GAP - HEAVEN 17 14 18 HIGHLAND HIGH RAIN - AXTEC CAMERA 15 10 LOCAL HERO - MARK KNOPFLER 16 13 THE KEY - JOAN ARMATRADING 17 11 RIO - DURAN DURAN 18 34 HIGHLY STRUNG - STEVE HACKETT 19 17 PRIDE - ROBERT PALMER 20 15 SCRIPT HAS A JESTERS TEAR - MARILLION Compilations were scarce in 83, but CHARTBUSTERS (a forerunner to the Now series, was just out of the top 20). DAVID BOWIE reigned supreme with his big seller at the top, followed by THRILLER (the original)....remember the micky take by LENNY HENRY on his show?! SPANDAU BALLET had the album, with the same title, as the big selling single. MEN AT WORK hit the big time in the UK in 83, but were already big in Australia (their native country) and also sold well in the States in 1982. HEAVEN 17, had a few released singles already in 1981, and actually featured on TOP OF THE POPS with SIMON BATES in 81, with the song "PLAY TO WIN". Were MARILLION paying homeage to our very own Jester? Maybe not! All these albums stick in my mind from 1983, because people used to have a chance to win them on Radio 2 in "DAVID HAMILTON`s MUSIC GAME", a daily quiz, with David on his then drivetime show. Here are 1983`s singles from this week then.... 01 05 TRUE - SPANDAU BALLET 02 07 KEEP FEELING FASCINATION - HUMAN LEAGUE 03 04 WORDS - F.R. DAVID 04 02 BEAT IT - MICHAEL JACKSON 05 03 CHURCH OF THE POISON MIND - CULTURE CLUB 06 12 WE ARE DETECTIVE - THOMPSON TWINS 07 15 TEMPTATION - HEAVEN 17 08 01 LET`S DANCE - DAVID BOWIE 09 30 PALE SHELTER - TEARS FOR FEARS 10 06 LOVE IS A STRANGER - EURYTHMICS 11 10 TRUE LOVE WAYS - CLIFF RICHARD 12 24 DANCING TIGHT - GALAXY/PHIL FEARON 13 16 FLIGHT OF ICARUS - IRON MAIDEN 14 08 BLUE MONDAY - NEW ORDER 15 17 ROSANNA - TOTO 16 38 OUR LIPS ARE SEALED - FUN BOY THREE 17 09 BREAKAWAY - TRACEY ULLMAN 18 23 FRIDAY NIGHT (LIVE) - KIDS FROM FAME 19 20 I AM I`M ME - TWISTED SISTER 20 11 HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT - TRACIE 21 29 LAST FILM - KISSING THE PINK 22 26 OVERKILL - MEN AT WORK 23 18 YOUNG FREE AND SINGLE - SUNFIRE 24 28 MISS THE GIRL - CREATURES 25 31 I`M NEVER GIVING UP - SWEET DREAMS 26 13 OOH TO BE AH - KAJAGOOGOO 27 14 BOXER BEAT - JO BOXERS 28 NE CAN`T GET USED TO LOSING YOU - THE BEAT 29 NE BLIND VISION - BLANCMANGE 30 37 HEY - JULIO IGLESIAS SPANDAU BALLET beating them all in 83, and knocking even Bowie off the top. F.R. DAVID had the one top 3 hit, the follow up "MUSIC" missed totally. MICHAEL JACKSON was doing well with his FALL OUT BOY cover!! Speaking of HEAVEN 17, as we were...they actually were former members of the HUMAN LEAGUE. CLIFF RICHARD was singing with the LONDON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA, in a live moment. EURYTHMICS rereleased an 82 flop. NEW ORDER with the biggest selling 12 inch, of all time. FAME was still big on the telly, with the Kids, still proving that. FUN BOY THREE covered a minor GO-GOs hit....the GO-GOs featured BELINDA CARLISLE, of course. KISSING THE PINK started promising, but the follow up singles flopped badly. IRON MAIDEN and TWISTED SISTER got heavy (will we ever see Maiden back in the singles chart, again)?! SUNFIRE gave us a simple melodic soul sound. SWEET DREAMS sang the EUROVISION entry, but disappeared without trace! The CREATURES were more or less SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES, and the BEAT covered ANDY WILLIAMS 1963, number 3 BBC chart single. TRACIE (YOUNG) was a female singer (who previously sang with the STYLE COUNCIL). JULIO IGLESIAS prop up the bottom of the top 30, and PINK FLOYD with "NOT NOW JOHN", had to be content with number 31, in the MRIB top 40 singles chart. I am done....stick around for Dave, who will complete the Thread of this week`s most up to date singles top 50 plus..... One good thing of lodging with Trevs, and the family means I just take over just like that :D Magic! Here are firstly, the physical top 10 this week 01 Madonna 02 Usher (new) 03 Sam Sparro 04 Jay Sean (new) 05 Estelle 06 September 07 Flo rida 08 Pendulum (new) 09 Mariah 10 Chris Brown The physical chart supplied by a combination of HMV, and other stores sales.

Number 41 without downloads only goes to ONE REPUBLIC/TIMBALAND and the long runner, "Apologise". It resides at 52, in the combined top 75, today. Chartshow TV positions follow the = sign. 3 weeks for Madonna, selling 7,000 more than Sam, a close call but Sam gets 2nd place to WILEY (who seems to be running out of steam, on download sites). Outside the 50, not much is happening..all the action is inside the 50. LIL`WAYNE slips to 51, SHAWTY GET LOOSE is in the top 75, along with DAN LE SAC and HADOUKEN. Losers this week are IVYRISE, CRISIS, BRIGADE, BRIT AND ALEX and the DELAYS (who looked promising, then fell off). Next week look out for albums by the DELAYS, DEF LEPPARD, ELVIS COSTELLO, STEVE WINWOOD, JACK MCMANUS, SCOOTER, JAMES HUNTER, SMASH HITS - THE 80s and the new HED KANDI compilation "WORLD SERIES LIVE, SAN FRANSISCO">>>And look out for singles from RACONTEURS, SHAGGY/AKON, CHARLETONS, WIDEBOYS, KYLIE, LES ARTISTES, and my top top 20 tip, THE CARDIFF CITY FC song by JAMES FOX, "BLUEBIRDS FLYING HIGH", will outsell Madonna.......or maybe not!!!!!!!! :blink: Don`t forget Chart Show TV for the fastest chart on TV, tomorrow 3 - 6.30pm. I will slip the positions from that in tomorrow around 5pm.
May 2, 200817 yr That's a big leap for Kelly Rowland with Daylight, I be well impressed if the track enters the chart on Sunday. I be well impressed if #37 is the highest physical entry, as the other new tracks are only available on downloads so far. Thanks for posting

Obviously the download version isn`t doing very well. ;) I wonder if Dave can possibly prove right, with Cardiff FC. Apparently, the pre-orders at HMV place it at number one! :w00t:
May 3, 200817 yr Chartshow TV played the wrong chart today. It seemed to be last weeks, but I have added the proper Chartshow TV top 40, to the top 50 singles anyway.
May 3, 200817 yr followed by THRILLER (the original)....remember the micky take by LENNY HENRY on his show?! Yep: :D N_9xz556ufk Lenny Henry's Brixton Broadcasting Corporation - Thinner (Thriller parody) (1984) Thanks for posting as ever.
