Posted May 9, 200817 yr The weekly look at what has been selling this week up to now. In tribute to the days of the now defunct MRIB Singles and Album Charts. Dave takes a look at charts, that will appear on Chart Show TV, and brings them up to date with sales, up to now. So, this week we have the top films and dvds, the latest singles and album charts, and slip back to May 1989, to see what was happening back then. Firstly, let`s take a look at the top films this week... 01 NE IRON MAN 02 01 FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL 03 NE NIM`S ISLAND 04 NE MADE OF HONOR 05 02 THE EVE 06 03 21 07 05 IN BRUGES 08 04 FOOLS GOLD 09 10 HAPPY GO LUCKY 10 NE PERSEPOLIS IRON MAN draws in £5,465,105 in a week! In a normal week the money made by the number 2 film, would have been enough to keep it at the top. (The top uk films are from the uk box office, curtesy of Screen International). Here are the top dvds this week... 01 NE GOLDEN COMPASS 02 01 I AM LEGEND 03 02 ST TRINIANS 04 NE HALLOWEEN 2008 05 03 ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS 06 04 STARDUST 07 09 RATATOUILLE 08 05 RUN FAT BOY RUN 09 06 BALLS OF ARMS 10 07 THE INVASION A big fall in dvd rentals and sales this week (well we had some decent weather)!! 70,000 people either rented, or bought GOLDEN COMPASS. (The top uk dvds are compiled by a division of MRIB/Blockbuster). Here are the top albums... w/k ending 16th May 08 01 01 HARD CANDY - MADONNA 02 NE JUMPING ALL OVER THE WORLD - SCOOTER 03 07 ROCKFERRY - DUFFY 04 04 CLUBLAND CLASSIX - VARIOUS 05 06 NOW 69 - VARIOUS 06 08 CREAM 15 YEARS 07 NE SONGS FROM THE SPARKLE LOUNGE - DEF LEPPARD 08 02 THIRD - PORTISHEAD 09 05 SAM SPARRO - SAM SPARRO 10 11 DAVE PEARCE TRANCE ANTHEMS - VARIOUS 11 NE SMASH HITS 80S - VARIOUS 12 NE MUSIC FOR THE ACCELERATED CULTURE - HADOUKEN 13 03 AGE OF UNDERSTATEMENT - LAST SHADOW PUPPETS 14 09 KONK - KOOKS 15 13 SCOUTING FOR GIRLS - SCOUTING FOR GIRLS 16 15 19 - ADELE 17 10 SPIRIT - LEONA 18 12 ADDICTED TO BASSLINE - VARIOUS 19 14 LESSONS TO BE LEARNED - GABRIELLA CILMI 20 20 BACK TO BLACK - AMY WINEHOUSE This chart is compiled by stores, and downloads up to, and included Wednesday night. Scooter, were the surprise (to some) this week, and edge ever closer to take the number one! Def Leppard will slip, by Sunday...and all those compilation albums (4 in a row) are all close, in sales. From Monday 12th May, look out for albums that will chart next week for NEIL DIAMOND, FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS, MARTHA WAINWRIGHT, ISOBEL CAMPBELL, EUROVISION 08 (VARIOUS), PENDULUM, DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE, and DAN LE SAC. Let`s head back, and look at the albums in May 1989... w/k ending 13th May 1989 01 NE STREET FIGHTING YEARS - SIMPLE MINDS 02 NE TEN GOOD REASONS - JASON DONOVAN 03 NE DISINTEGRATION - THE CURE 04 02 A NEW FLAME - SIMPLY RED 05 01 BLAST - HOLLY JOHNSON 06 03 ANYTHING FOR YOU - GLORIA ESTEFAN 07 05 RAW AND THE COOKED - FINE YOUNG CANNIBALS 08 09 EVERYTHING - BANGLES 09 06 LIKE A PRAYER - MADONNA 10 04 WHEN THE WORLD KNOWS YOUR NAME - DEACON BLUE 11 07 CLUB CLASSICS VOL II - SOUL II SOUL 12 15 DEEP HEAT-THE SECOND BURN - VARIOUS 13 30 PASTPRESENT - CLANNAD 14 08 KICK - INXS 15 13 POP ART - TRANSVISION VAMP 16 16 DON`T BE CRUEL - BOBBY BROWN 17 12 APPETITE FOR DESTUCTION - GUNS N` ROSES 18 11 NOW 14 - VARIOUS 19 25 KYLIE - KYLIE MINOGUE 20 18 FOREVER YOUR GIRL - PAULA ABDUL HOLLY JOHNSON dethroned by SIMPLE MINDS in 1989, after just the one sneaky week! JASON DONOVAN was still growing in success, following hottily from KYLIE (88, had seen the wedding in Neighbours). Althouh Jason`s album was 10 GOOD REASONS, it actually had 11 tracks (which puzzled many), then after listening we found that the title was actually from the single, "TOO MANY BROKEN HEARTS". After 2 weeks, Jason knocked out SIMPLE MINDS, from the top. TEN GOOD REASONS spent the rest of 1989, in the top 20 albums. THE CURE (are back for 2008, single released Tuesday). GUNS N` ROSES became worldwide superstars in the 90s, but it was still rather early days here. BOBBY BROWN (later Mr Whitney Houston) originally sung with 80s pop black kid sensation, "NEW EDITION". CLANNAD smashed into the chart, with a collection of new and old hits (and the unmistakeable sound of ENYA). KYLIE headed back up the chart...did she have a single this week in 1989? Let`s find out... The top singles, May 89... w/k ending 13th May 1989 01 02 HAND ON YOUR HEART - KYLIE MINOGUE 02 13 MISS YOU LIKE CRAZY - NATALIE COLE 03 01 ETERNAL FLAME - BANGLES 04 07 REQUIEM - LONDON BOYS 05 NE I WANT IT ALL - QUEEN 06 04 BABY I DON`T CARE - TRANSVISION VAMP 07 05 WHO`S IN THE HOUSE - BEATMASTERS/MERLIN 08 10 BEDS ARE BURNING - MIDNIGHT OIL 09 03 IF YOU DON`T KNOW ME BY NOW - SIMPLY RED 10 16 BRING ME EDELWEISS - EDELWEISS 11 15 WHERE HAS ALL THE LOVE GONE - YAZZ 12 36 I`M EVERY WOMAN 89 - CHAKA KHAN 13 18 YOUR MAMA DON`T DANCE - POISON 14 09 AMERICANOS - HOLLY JOHNSON 15 22 I`LL BE THERE FOR YOU - BON JOVI 16 23 ELECTRIC YOUTH - DEBBIE GIBSON 17 06 GOOD THING - FINE YOUNG CANNIBALS 18 30 THE LOOK - ROXETTE 19 08 LULLABY - THE CURE 20 11 AIN`T NOBODY BETTER - INNER CITY 21 17 ONE - METALLICA 22 14 I BEG YOUR PARDON - KON KAN 23 12 INTERESTING DRUG - MORRISEY 24 NE DON`T IT MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD - STEFAN DENNIS 25 20 ME MYSELF I - DE LA SOUL 26 49 ROOMS ON FIRE - STEVIE NICKS 27 25 YOU ON MY MIND - SWING OUT SISTER 28 47 THROUGH THE STORM - ARETHA FRANKLIN/ELTON JOHN 29 24 STRAIGHT UP - PAULA ABDUL 30 NE VIOLENTLY - HUE AND CRY 31 27 GOT TO KEEP ON - COOKIE CREW 32 34 MOVE CLOSER - TOM JONES 33 32 REAL LOVE - JODY WATLEY 34 NE HELYOM HALIB - CAPELLA 35 41 THRILL HAS GONE - TEXAS 36 37 HEAVEN HELP ME - DEON ESTUS 37 NE DISAPPOINTED - PUBLIC IMAGE LTD 38 NE MY LOVE IS SO RAW - ALYSON WILLIAMS/NIKKI-D 39 28 LIKE APRAYER - MADONNA 40 31 TOO MANY BROKEN HEARTS - JASON DONOVAN 41 19 THIS IS YOUR LAND - SIMPLE MINDS 42 NE WORKIN` OVERTIME - DIANA ROSS 43 NE THAT`S WHEN I THINK OF YOU - 1927 44 21 WHEN LOVE COME`S TO TOWN - U2/B.B. KING 45 29 DO YOU BELIEVE IN SHAME - DURAN DURAN 46 NE MY HEAR CAN`T TELL YOU NO - ROD STEWART 47 48 I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW 89 - JOHNNY NASH 48 33 THIS TIME I KNOW IT`S FOR REAL - DONNA SUMMER 49 26 MYSTIFY - INXS 50 NE CAN I GET A WITNESS - SAM BROWN Wow, the MRIB Top 50, in 89...KYLIE hit the top, Queen didn`t! BEATMASTERS were rather annoyingly shouting "Who`s In The House"....I remember my dad mis-hearing this as "Balls in the House", maybe he was right!! MIDNIGHT OIL took a slow climb to top 10 status (they were Australian)....EDELWEISS from an Alpine region gave us BRING ME EDELWEISS, and ripped off the melody of ABBA`s "S.O.S.", and I believe were taken to court for it. There was the do you like DEBBIE GIBSON or TIFFANY debate (but by now TIFFANY had practically disappeared from the scene). CHAKA KHAN re-mixed a 1978 classic, and beat the peak position. KON KAN nicked a sample from LYNN ANDERSON`s 1971 top 5 hit, "ROSE GARDEN". MORRISEY managed to hang in the chart for a second week, unusual for him! STEFAN DENNIS was also in NEIGHBOURS...SWING OUT SISTER were on their last legs...I don`t remember the ARETHA/ELTON song at all! TOM JONES sang PHYLLIS NELSON`s 1985 hit...TEXAS found it hard to follow up their first hit...Was JOHN LYDON "DISAPPOINTED" with such a small hit?! Who remembers the group "1927?" JOHNNY NASH`s 1972 hit was re-mixed for a coffee advert (and was not a patch on the original). Taliking of coffee, NESCAFE were the sponsers of the NETWORK CHART (alongside David "Kid" Jensen....and here 19 years on, NESCAFE celebrate their 70th Anniversary! Hang around...Dave will put up the up to date singles, shortly....when he comes in!
May 9, 200817 yr Right then, Thanks to Trevs. Here comes the single info, surprises galore here, and no OCC rules, will ever affect this chart! Let`s have a look at the physical top 10, first 01 KYLIE 02 JAMES FOX 03 WYLIE 04 MADONNA 05 WILL I. AM 06 USHER 07 SAM SPARRO 08 SEPTEMBER 09 ESTELLE 10 KELLY ROWLAND If it were 1989`s rules KYLIE would be the Queen of this week`s chart, Oh Mart!n please comment? 5 new entries in the top 10! (The physical top ten, is compiled from HMV, and other major stockists that still sell physical singles). Here come`s the top 50 combined chart 50 38 FLASHING LIGHTS - KANYE WEST 41) 49 45 CHASING PAVEMENTS - ADELE 40) 48 40 TRIPPING ON YOU - CAHILL 39) 47 39 COME ON GIRLS - TAIO CRUZ 38) =40 46 34 WHAT`S IT GONNA BE - H TWO O 37) =37 45 47 LOLLIPOP - LIL` WAYNE - =bubbler 44 42 DON`T STOP THE MUSIC - RIHANNA 36) =39 43 35 NOW YOU`RE GONE - BASSHUNTER 35) =38 42 36 9 IN THE AFTERNOON - PANIC AT THE DISCO 34) =36 41 32 I`M NOT GONNA TEACH YOUR BOYFRIEND - BLACK KIDS 33) =34 40 25 WHO`S THAT GIRL - ROBYN 32) =32 39 48 LES ARTISTES - SANTOGOLD 31) =bubbler 38 17 MAYBE - JAY SEAN 30) =31 37 NE VIVA LA VIDA - COLDPLAY - =bubbler 36 31 OUTTA MY HEAD - ASHLEE SIMPSON - =30 35 51 LOVE SONG - SARA BAREILLES - =35 34 52 DADDY O - WIDEBOYS 29) =29 33 27 STOP AND STARE - ONE REPUBLIC 28) =28 32 22 SOMETHING GOOD 08 - UTAH SAINTS VS VAN SHE 27) =27 31 26 COPS AND ROBBERS - HOOSIERS 26) =26 30 21 BREAK THE ICE - BRITNEY SPEARS 25) =24 29 24 ALWAYS WHERE I NEED TO BE - KOOKS 24) =25 28 28 CAN`T SPEAK FRENCH - GIRLS ALOUD 23) =23 27 19 BETTER IN TIME/FOOTSTEPS IN THE SAND - LEONA LEWIS 22) =21 26 20 COLD SHOULDER - ADELE 21) =22 25 NE CLOSER - NE`YO - =bubbler 24 15 TOUCH MY BODY - MARIAH CAREY 20) =20 23 14 ROCKSTAR - NICKELBACK 19) =15 22 NE THIS IS AN EMERGENCY - PIGEON DETECTIVES - =33 21 18 SWEET ABOUT ME - GABRIELLA CILMI 18) =19 20 23 PARTY PEOPLE - NELLY - =17 19 16 WE CRY - SCRIPT 17) =14 18 13 WITH YOU - CHRIS BROWN 16) =16 17 29 WARWICK AVENUE - DUFFY - =18 16 NE BLUEBIRDS FLYING HIGH - JAMES FOX/CARDIFF CITY F.A.

AM 4) =4 03 02 BLACK AND GOLD - SAM SPARRO 3) =2 02 03 WEAR MY ROLEX - WILEY 2) =3 01 01 4 MINUTES - MADONNA/TIMBERLAND/TIMBERLAKE 1) =1 ) Position without downloads only and = Is the Chart Show tv position (even though, once again they played the wrong chart)! Madonna takes the crown for a 4th week, and sells almost 3,000 more than Wiley. What will happen next week? Well, CARDIFF CITY FANS, THE CURE, TING TINGS, CHANELLE HAYES, PIGEON DETECTIVES, CASSIE, DAVID JORDAN, HOT CHIP, LIL` MAMA, PARAMORE, and NICK CAVE will take on the top 75. Back to this week, and tonight I find CAPTAIN, and QUEEN in the top 60, LIL` MAMA/CHRIS BROWN, TAIO CRUZ (I CAN BE) both in the top 70. Losers this week are DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE, NOAH AND THE WHALE, SHANIE, ATTIC LIGHTS, CHARLATONS, and CUT COPY who practically miss, with practically no downloads what so ever. Quickly I would say information seems to say that Chanelle Hayes, Ting Tings, and those Cardiff City Fans, will enter the top 20, next week. Now where are those that did not believe James Fox, would do it this week?! ;) Don`t forget Chart Show tv tomorrow 3 - 6.30pm, for the top 40, and bubblers/new releases. Hopefully they may play the correct chart this week! This chart is compiled by the chart show tv top 40, minus airplay and added sales info. If anyone get`s a moment, take a look at Tesco`s, new download site...they have HARD CANDY credited to COUNTING CROWS, whatever next! Teething problems there! If you remember 2002, Counting Crows did release an album called "Hard Candy", too...I wonder if any other artists, have released an album, with the same name as someone else.
May 9, 200817 yr 5 new entries in the physical chart that's amazing. You can't even get 5 new entries in the top 10 in the offical chart no more like the old days, I think the record is 7 new entries in the top 10. I don't think we see that many new entries ever again inside the top 10, its hard enough to get 1 new entry to surface inside the top 10 every week. Let's hope Kylie sticks around. Thanks for posting the charts as usual.

Actually looking again, there are 4 new, in that top 5! :w00t:
May 10, 200817 yr Here is a quick Saturday morning update...Tomorrow expect Ne`yo to be in the top 20 or close, Duffy (Warwick Avenue) will probably jump over James Fox, and the team. Santogold will jump ahead of Jay Sean, Girls Aloud might fall from 28, Lil` Wayne will head closer to the top 40, Wideboys will slip back from 34. Sara Bareilles could be in front of Wideboys. Vampire Weekend, will be in the top 70 without a doubt. Not much to go on with Viva La Vida (where there is a definate sales problem). A note on download charts: The lowest a download only track, has ever been in the combined physical/downloads charts, is 39 positions lower than the download only chart position (whether it be iTunes, HMV, Tesco, MSN, or Woolworths). Woolworths offer downloads at 59p, slightly cheaper than 79p, which most other download sites charge. Sounds like a free ad! No, but Woolies do not offer that big of range of downloads, compared to other sites. Currently "Violet Hill", is number one on iTunes and number 24 on HMV`S download chart. As "Viva La Vida", is only charting on iTunes maybe it won`t hit the top ten, let alone top 20 when in the combined chart.
May 10, 200817 yr Ne-Yo's single is not even out till the end of June :o I think this is going to be the hit of the summer this year.
May 10, 200817 yr Ne-Yo's single is not even out till the end of June :o I think this is going to be the hit of the summer this year. Or it will peak and burn out before the physical is out? That's happened to a few hits so far hasn't it?
May 10, 200817 yr Or it will peak and burn out before the physical is out? That's happened to a few hits so far hasn't it? Could do. Not released physically until 30th June! Maybe it will surpass Coldplay, way before then ;)
