Posted May 23, 200817 yr Here we go with another end of week, look at the charts. Taking a look at the latest top films, dvds, albums, and singles/tracks. Dave will, of course complete the thread with the top singles (courtesy of Chart Show TV, and today`s added sales info. All this, and also a look back to May 1980. Let`s start with the top films, this week... w/k ending 30th May 08 01 01 IRON MAN 02 02 WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS 03 03 FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL 04 05 MIM`S ISLAND 05 04 SPEED RACER 06 07 MADE OF HONOR 07 06 DOOMSDAY 08 08 IN BRUGES 09 NE SUKKAR BANAT 10 09 21 3 weeks at number one, for IRON MAN netting £12,996,686 in those 3 weeks. Wouldn`t it be great to earn that in 3 weeks?! (The top films are compiled by Screen International, for UK Box office). Here are the top dvds, this week... w/k ending 30th May 08 01 NE P.S. I LOVE YOU 02 NE ALIEN VS PREDATOR 2-REQUIEM 03 01 I AM LEGEND 04 03 GOLDEN COMPASS 05 02 CHARLIE WILSON`S WAR 06 NE IN THE VALLEY OF ELAH 07 07 RUN FAT BOY RUN 08 NE MR MAGORIUM`S WONDER EMPORIUM 09 04 ST TRINIANS 10 06 STARDUST P.S. I LOVE YOU, had 72,239 takers this week. Which was a total combined with buyers and rentals. (The top dvds, are compiled by a combination of mrib/Blockbuster rentals) On we go, with the top 20 albums, this week... w/k ending 30th May 08 01 NE WE STARTED NOTHING - TING TINGS 02 01 HOME BEFORE DARK - NEIL DIAMOND 03 05 ROCKFERRY - DUFFY 04 03 JUMPING ALL OVER THE WORLD - SCOOTER 05 NE MINISTRY OF SOUND PRESENTS: CHILLED - VARIOUS 06 NE R + B COLLECTION - VARIOUS 07 02 IN SILICO - PENDULUM 08 NE LITTLE DREAMER - BETH ROWLEY 09 04 HARD CANDY - MADONNA 10 06 CLUBLAND CLASSIX - VARIOUS 11 07 NOW 69 - VARIOUS 12 NE CHANT - CISTERCIAN MONKS 13 11 SCOUTING FOR GIRLS - SCOUTING FOR GIRLS 14 09 CREAM 15 YEARS - VARIOUS 15 08 MY OWN WAY - JAY SEAN 16 NE BEST OF - NEIL DIAMOND 17 13 DAVE PEARCE DANCE ANTHEMS - VARIOUS 18 14 LESSONS TO BE LEARNED - GABRIELLA CILMI 19 17 BACK TO BLACK - AMY WINEHOUSE 20 NE TRIBUTE TO BOBBY - MICK HUCKNALL TING TINGS, easily beat NEIL DIAMOND this week, but Neil has two albums in the top 20. (The album chart, is compiled from stores/download sites up to, and including Wednesday night). Meanwhile, let`s look at May 1980... Starting with the albums then w/k ending 31st May 1980 01 01 THE MAGIC OF - BONEY M 02 02 SKY 2 - SKY 03 03 GREATEST HITS - ROSE ROYCE 04 09 OFF THE WALL - MICHAEL JACKSON 05 NE JUST ONE NIGHT - ERIC CLAPTON 06 22 ME MYSELF I - JOAN ARMATRADING 07 06 DUKE - GENESIS 08 NE MCCARTNEY 2 - PAUL MCCARTNEY 09 NE SPORTS CAR - JUDY TZUKE 10 07 12 GOLD BARS - STATUS QUO 11 NE I JUST CAN`T STOP - THE BEAT 12 11 HEAVEN AND HELL - BLACK SABBATH 13 14 ONE STEP BEYOND - MADNESS 14 08 GREATEST HITS - SUZI QUATRO 15 NE FLESH AND BLOOD - ROXY MUSIC 16 13 REGATTA DE BLANC - POLICE 17 NE MAGIC REGGAE - VARIOUS 18 NE CHAMPAGNE AND ROSES - VARIOUS 19 12 HYPNOTISED - UNDERTONES 20 20 SNAKES AND LADDERS - GERRY RAFFERTY Imagine seeing BONEY ME, at number one, 28 years on...damn near impossibility! By 1980 though, BONEY M`s singles were drying up. "MY FRIEND JACK", just graced the top 60, for them in May 1980. The proper singer of the group (LIZ MITCHELL) lives not far away, from me. SKY hit the big time, as a turn on Classical Rock. Again, ROSE ROYCE were beginning to dry up, on the singles front...but the Greatest Hits album, kept them in the top three. MICHAEL JACKSON`s fore-runner to "THRILLER", (OFF THE WALL), was bouncing up and down most of the year. ERIC CLAPTON was proving himself, a more album man...than a singles one. Both JUDY TZUKE, and JOAN ARMATRADING dabbled with a few singles, but the albums always did better for them too. Compilations were not doing so good...MAGIC REGGAE was just like it said,,,a Reggae oldie album. CHAMPAGNE AND ROSES was a 1950s compilation, featuring ballads, like AL MARTINO, PEREZ PRADO, and MEL TORME. Outside the top 20 was, "TELL ME ON A SUNDAY", by MARTI WEBB (but it was chiefly a soundtrack, to the Lloyd Webber musical). GOOD MORNING AMERICA was another VA comp, at 21 and BOBBY VEE (in the album charts, currently) was down 15 places to 25, with his Singles Collection. Do we remember 1980`s singles chart? w/k ending 31st May 1980 01 02 NO DOUBT ABOUT IT - HOT CHOCOLATE 02 01 WHAT`S ANOTHER YEAR - JOHNNY LOGAN 03 10 THEME FROM MASH - THE MASH 04 03 SHE`S OUT OF MY LIFE - MICHAEL JACKSON 05 05 MIRROR IN THE BATHROOM - THE BEAT 06 07 OVER YOU - ROXY MUSIC 07 20 WE ARE GLASS - GARY NUMAN 08 25 RAT RACE/RUDE BOYS OUTA JAIL - SPECIALS 09 06 HOLD ON TO MY LOVE - JIMMY RUFFIN 10 04 GENO - DEXY`S MIDNIGHT RUNNER 11 19 FOOL FOR YOUR LOVING - WHITESNAKE 12 14 LET`S GO ROUND AGAIN - AVERAGE WHITE BAND 13 21 YOU GAVE ME LOVE - CROWN HEIGHTS AFFAIR 14 11 DON`T MAKE WAVES - THE NOLANS 15 30 FUNKY TOWN - LIPPS INC. 16 29 CRYING - DON MCLEAN 17 08 I SHOULD`VE LOVED YA - NARADA MICHAEL WALDEN 18 09 COMING UP - PAUL MCCARTNEY 19 26 LET`S GET SERIOUS - JERMAINE JACKSON 20 23 YOU`LL ALWAYS FIND ME IN THE KITCHEN AT PARTIES - JONA LEWIE 21 28 BACK TOGETHER AGAIN - ROBERTA FLACK/DONNY HATHAWAY 22 18 JUST CAN`T GIVE YOU UP - MYSTIC MERLIN 23 49 I`M ALIVE - ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA 24 NE D-A-A-NCE - LAMBRETTAS 25 31 MIDNIGHT DYNAMOS - MATCHBOX 26 15 BREATHING - KATE BUSH 27 37 POLICE AND THIEVES - JUNIOR MERVIN 28 13 THE GROOVE - RODNEY FRANKLIN 29 12 SILVER DREAM MACHINE - DAVID ESSEX 30 41 MESSAGES - ORCHESTRAL MANOUEVRES IN THE DARK Now, HOT CHOCOLATE failed to have an official number one...but did make it two charttoppers elsewhere. Here they were with a RECORD BUSINESS number one. "NO DOUBT ABOUT IT", was based on a UFO sighting that lead singer ERROL BROWN saw, while he drove home through a woodland area, one night. MASH was the theme from the best ever US tv series...JOHNNY LOGAN won Eurovision the first time for Ireland (he won the second time, in 1987). Of course Ireland, had won 10 years earlier with the lovely DANA. GARY NUMAN, was still doing good...and absoloutely was addicted to (guess what?)....Toast!! He always had bread delivered to his hotel rooms! The ska revival continued, with the likes of THE SPECIALS and the BEAT. DON MCLEAN returned to the top, eight years after his first number one in 1972 (Crying was a re-make of a 1961 ROY ORBISON minor hit). JIMMY RUFFIN returned to top ten success, after 10 years...WHITESNAKE rocked, and the AVERAGE WHITE BAND scored their first hit in 4 years, sounding very American (but coming from Scotland). THE NOLANS were not making waves...CROWN HEIGHTS AFFAIR had probably the best ever disco song, I think. MATCHBOX and LAMBRETTAS brought back Rock-a-billy. JONA LEWIE had been the vocalist (as Terry Dactyl) on "SEASIDE SHUFFLE" in 1972, and loved being in the kitchen! JERMAINE JACKSON joined STEVIE WONDER for "LET`S GET SERIOUS". ROBERTA FLACK returned with the late DONNY HATHAWAY (again Roberta had her first uk hit in 1972). PAUL MCCARTNEY was not coming up...he was going down! OMD scored their first hit, and outside the top 30, was my favourite MANHATTEN TRANSFER hit..."TWILIGHT ZONE-TWILIGHT ZONE" at 33, UK SUBS were 32 with "TEENAGE", PETER GABRIEL had "NO SELF CONTROL" at 34, and the COCKNEY REJECTS were "FOREVER BLOWING BUBBLES", at 35. Stick around, for Mr Dave Taylor`s round-up of the big 50 this week in 2008. And also, thanks for everyone who continues to read, the thread every week...the number that reads it...grows every week! Dave will be here, shortly...
May 23, 200817 yr Here is the completion. Starting with the top physical sellers this week 01 ne RIHANNA 02 01 TING TINGS 03 ne NELLY 04 04 WILEY 05 02 MADONNA 06 06 USHER 07 ne ASHLEE SIMPSON 08 05 WILL I. AM 09 08 SAM SPARRO 10 03 KYLIE MINOGUE Rihanna only took over, at the top in some stores today. Nelly gets a top three physical hit. Outside the physical top ten, there is Royworld at 12, Gusto at 13, and Sandi Thom and Andy Abraham have top 20 entries. So, 7 new entries in the physical top 20! (The physical chart is a combination of HMV, and other stores that still stock CDs physically). On to the proper top 50, downloads and combined physical sales w/k ending 30th May 2008 50 41 MAYBE - JAY SEAN 36) 49 47 DON`T STOP THE MUSIC - RIHANNA 35) 48 27 LES ARTISTES - SANTOGOLD 34) =38 47 44 CAN`T SPEAK FRENCH - GIRLS ALOUD 33) =39 46 NE SHUT UP AND LET ME GO - TING TINGS - 45 37 COPS AND ROBBERS - HOOSIERS 32) =40 44 NE OXFORD COMMA - VAMPIRE WEEKEND - bubbler 43 38 BREAK THE ICE - BRITNEY SPEARS 31) =36 42 29 COLD SHOULDER - ADELE 30) =37 41 30 ALWAYS WHERE I NEED TO BE - KOOKS 29) =35 40 32 TOUCH MY BODY - MARIAH CAREY 28) =34 39 34 STOP AND STARE - ONE REPUBLIC 27) =32 38 40 SOMETHING GOOD - UTAH SAINTS 26) =33 37 31 BETTER IN TIME/FOOTSTEPS - LEONA LEWIS 25) =31 36 RE RYTHYM IS A DANCER - SNAP! - not playlisted 35 36 LOLLIPOP - LIL` WAYNE - =30 34 NE DISCO`S REVENGE 08 - GUSTO 24) =29 33 52 GREAT DJ - TING TINGS - bubbler 32 39 BEAT IT - FALL OUT BOY -=27 31 15 IN MY ARMS - KYLIE MINOGUE 23) =26 30 NE MISTRESS MABEL - FRATELLIS - not playlisted 29 NE ALWAYS RIGHT BEHIND YOU - ZUTONS - =28 28 14 THIS IS AN EMERGENCY - PIGEON DETECTIVES 22) =25 27 25 ROCKSTAR - NICKELBACK 21) =23 26 33 DUST - ROYWORLD 20) =24 25 16 DAYLIGHT - KELLY ROWLAND 19) =22 24 26 OUTTA MY HEAD - ASHLEE SIMPSON 18) not playlisted??? 23 19 FASCINATION - ALPHABEAT 17) =21 22 NE 10,000 NIGHTS - ALPHABEAT - not playlisted 21 20 MERCY - DUFFY 16) =19 20 35 I CAN BE - TAIO CRUZ - =20 19 24 WITH YOU - CHRIS BROWN 15) =17 18 21 HEARTBEAT - SCOUTING FOR GIRLS 14) =18 17 22 SWEET ABOUT ME - GABRIELLA CILMI 13) =16 16 23 LOVE SONG - SARA BAREILLES - =15 15 12 PROPANE NIGHTMARES - PENDULUM 12) not playlisted 14 17 PARTY PEOPLE - NELLY/FERGIE 11) =13 13 11 LOW - FLO RIDA 10) =12 12 09 AMERICAN BOY - ESTELLE 9) =9 11 18 CLOSER - NEYO - =14 10 07 VIOLET HILL - COLDPLAY - =10 09 10 CRY FOR YOU - SEPTEMBER 8) =11 08 13 WARWICK AVENUE - DUFFY - =8 07 08 LOVE IN THIS CULB - USHER 7) =7 06 05 WEARING MY ROLEX - WILEY 6) =6 05 06 BLACK AND GOLD - SAM SPARRO 5) =5 04 04 HEARTBREAKER - WILL I.

Without downloads alone, SANDI THOM is 37, SCRIPT 38, H TWO O at 39. and FUTUREHEADS at 40. There are 14 download alone, tracks in the top 50, this week! = Is the position in Chart Show tv`s chart. For some reason today, they played them in the wrong order! RIHANNA takes the top spot with just under 1200 more sales than TING TINGS (who clock up 3 tracks, in the top 50 in one week)! Outside the top 50, we find: SANDI THOM, FUTUREHEADS in the top 55, and KIDS IN GLASS HOUSES are at 56, PURESSCENCE, FLO RIDA (ELEVATOR), GO AUDIO are all in the top 60. INDINA and KRISTEN started the week pretty good, but now slip to the top 70. ANDY ABRAHAM slides into the top 75 and MARIAH CAREY and "BYE BYE" is on the edge. The losers, this week were: AMY MACDONALD, JUSTICE, YOUNG KNIVES, SPIRITUALIZED and LATE OF THE PIER (who did not do well, with their downloads). (The top singles are compiled from info, from the Chart Show TV top 40, and added sales info from Friday to bring us up to date). Next week look out for new albums, from: PIGEON DETECTIVES, SPIRITUALIZED, USHER, RUSSELL WATSON and new VA compilation, "NEW CLASSIX 2008". On the singles front look out for: PAUL WELLER, FRATELLIS, DUFFY, ALANIS MORRISETTE, TAIO CRUZ, ALPHABEAT, ZUTONS, FLO RIDA, FOALS, GO AUDIO, GUILLEMOTTS, JOE LEAN, KATIE MELUA, MICHAEL JACKSON/AKON, MORRISEY, NICKELBACK and VAMPIRE WEEKEND. It would be good to see all those in the top 40, but that is not likely! ALANIS MORRISETTE, MICHAEL JACKSON/AKON, FOALS, GUILLEMOTTS, JOE LEAN, KATIE MELUA and NICKELBACK do not look possiblities. Don`t forget Chart Show tv (Sky digital channel 355), tomorrow at 3 - 6.30pm for al the hits, new releases and bubblers. Even though, it ain`t a patch on our top 50! :lol: Eurovision tip...is the Swedish entry. Check it out! :D
May 23, 200817 yr CHANT - CISTERCIAN MONKS This album has been bugging me all week, don't tell me its a group of monks singing carols :lol: I actually tipped it last week! It is a kind of Monastry type chanting thing. I couldn`t listen to it myself, but Trevs actually bought the ruddy thing! :o
May 24, 200817 yr ALANIS MORRISETTE, MICHAEL JACKSON/AKON, FOALS, GUILLEMOTTS, JOE LEAN, KATIE MELUA and NICKELBACK do not look possiblities. Of those, Alanis & Guillemots are the only ones scheduled for release on Monday Vampire Weekend is also looking dodgy Edited May 24, 200817 yr by ManicKangaroo
May 24, 200817 yr Of those, Alanis & Guillemots are the only ones scheduled for release on Monday Vampire Weekend is also looking dodgy Thanks James. You are even more ahead, of HMV!
May 24, 200817 yr Thanks for this, as this is always a great read. I'm delighted to be proven wrong about how well Beth Rowley's debut album is going to do on Sunday, as I did not think it would be Top 10, let alone challenge for a Top 5 position.
