Posted July 11, 200816 yr Don`t the weeks, fly by?! Here we are again, with a selection of the usual charts, the top films, dvds, albums, and the latest up to the minute compiled singles top 50, along with Dave Taylor. All coming up, with a look back to July 1981 (as requested by Robbie). First up, here are the top uk films... w/k ending 18th Jul 2008 01 NE HANCOCK 02 NE KUNG FU PANDA 03 01 CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: PRINCE CASPIAN 04 02 WANTED 05 06 SEX AND THE CITY 06 05 INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL 07 04 ADULTHOOD 08 NE THE MIST 09 03 THE INCREDIBLE HULK 10 07 EDGE OF LOVE HANCOCK makes £9,589,095, this week. That seem`s to make me want to say "Hurrrr, Hancock`s Half Hour!! Although, it has nothing to do with it. Showing my age, there!! KUNG FU PANDA makes £6,069,679, and THE MIST takes £157,394, all in a week. (The top films, are compiled by Screen International for UK Box Office). Here are the top dvd films... w/k ending 18th July 2008 01 07 BANK JOB 02 02 JUMPER 03 03 CLOVERFIELD 04 01 RAMBO 05 NE BE KIND REWIND 06 NE THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL 07 NE WATER HORSE: LEGEND OF THE DEEP 08 05 NATIONAL TREASURE: BOOK OF SECRETS 09 04 JUNO 10 NE DIARY OF THE DEAD On the top dvds, this week BANK JOB was rented/bought by 43,711 people. (The top dvds, are compiled by a combination of MRIB/Blockbuster). Here are the top albums... w/k ending 18th July 2008 01 01 VIVA LA VIDA OR DEATH AND ALL HIS FRIENDS - COLDPLAY 02 02 ROCKFERRY - DUFFY 03 NE MAMMA MIA - OST/VARIOUS 04 03 CLUBLAND 13 - VARIOUS 05 12 R + B THE LOVE COLLECTION - VARIOUS 06 13 MASSIVE REGGAE - VARIOUS 07 06 EXCLUSIVE - CHRIS BROWN 08 NE PARTIE TRAUMATIC - BLACK KIDS 09 NE ULTIMATE STREET DANCE - VARIOUS 10 NE MODERN GUILT - BECK 11 11 WE SAID NOTHING - TING TINGS 12 04 CHILLED 91 - 08 - VARIOUS 13 15 MY SONGS - VARIOUS 14 08 SKY DIVIN` - DARREN STYLES 15 14 BACK TO BLACK - AMY WINEHOUSE 16 29 ALL THE RIGHT REASONS - NICKELBACK 17 05 HOME BEFORE DARK - NEIL DIAMOND 18 16 HED KANDI MIX SUMMER 2008 - VARIOUS 19 17 PURE GARAGE PRESENTS PURE BASSLINE - VARIOUS 20 07 PURE URBAN ESSENTIALS SUMMER 08 - VARIOUS COLDPLAY`s sales, slipping this week. 9 Various Artists Compilations, in there (and the MAMMA MIA soundtrack). A bit of confusion, over MAMMA MIA because the original cast recording, is also knocking about the top 50. The CONNECTED 90s 12 inch album, is in the top 30. Also, in the top 30 are RIHANNA, SCOOTER, MADONNA, LAST SHADOW PUPPETS, EDDY GRANT, PAUL WELLER, BEST OF NEIL DIAMOND, ELBOW, and ABBA. (The top selling albums, are compiled from stores/download sites, up to and including Wednesday night). Remember the albums, in July 1981? w/k ending 18th July 1981 01 01 NO SLEEP `TIL HAMMERSMITH - MOTORHEAD 02 05 DISCO DAZE AND DISCO NITES - VARIOUS 03 02 PRESENT ARMS - UB40 04 11 LOVE SONGS - CLIFF RICHARD 05 03 STARS ON 45 - STARSOUND 06 10 SECRET COMBINATION - RANDY CRAWFORD 07 07 DURAN DURAN - DURAN DURAN 08 04 ANTHEM - TOYAH 09 06 JUJU - SIOUXIE AND THE BANSHEES 10 12 KINGS OF THE WILD FRONTIER - ADAM AND THE ANTS 11 22 KIM WILDE - KIM WILDE 12 08 CHARIOTS OF FIRE - VANGELIS 13 09 MAGNETIC FIELDS - JEAN MICHEL JARRE 14 27 PEN*S ENVY - CRASS 15 20 JUMPIN` JIVE - JOE JACKSON 16 16 MADE IN AMERICA - CARPENTERS 17 18 BAD FOR GOOD - JIM STEINMAN 18 13 FACE VALUE - PHIL COLLINS 19 NE NAH POO THE ART OF BLUFF - WAH! 20 15 THE RIVER - BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN MOTORHEAD doing the business in `81. They got knocked out, by CLIFF RICHARD, on the following week! DISCO DAYS AND DISCO NITES was just like it said, on the tin (this was the first, of the buy one, and get the other free, tv campaign). Obviously, you could not get them seperately, anyway! Most of the other albums, had singles doing good, for the artists in the singles chart. SIOUXIE AND THE BANSHEES (seemed to have been watching, a TARZAN film, featuring the JuJu tribes. CRASS came from Epping (East Essex), a punk group promoting anarchy, feminism, anti racism, anti war, and anti global affairs. JEAN MICHEL JARRE (the French born composer) continued to entertain, with his elctronic/synth pop/new age sound. PETE WYLIE was making music with WAH! or the MIGHTY WAH (to give them the full original name). THE CARPENTERS had a single from the album "BEECHWOOD 4,5,7,8,9", but it flopped. JIM STEINMAN was best known, for his compositions and productions, for the likes of MEAT LOAF...JOE JACKSON (born in Burton Upon Trent, Staffordshire) challenged punk in the late 70s, and broke through, also to the States, with his unique sounds. VANGELIS (one part of APHRODITES CHILD in the 60s), from Greece, gave us the film soundtrack, of the Oscar winning film "CHARIOTS OF FIRE". BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN slipped down, with his album (which was also, the title, of his latest single). Here are the top singles, from July 1981 w/k ending 18th July 81 01 01 GHOST TOWN - SPECIALS 02 06 STARS ON 45 VOL. 2 - STARSOUND 03 03 CAN CAN - BAD MANNERS 04 02 ONE DAY IN YOUR LIFE - MICHAEL JACKSON 05 05 BODY TALK - IMAGINATION 06 23 MOTORHEAD LIVE - MOTORHEAD 07 11 WORDY RAPPINGHOOD - TOM TOM CLUB 08 09 NO WOMAN NO CRY - BOB MARLEY 09 04 GOING BACK TO MY ROOTS - ODDYSEY 10 07 MEMORY - ELAINE PAIGE 11 18 DANCING ON THE FLOOR - THIRD WORLD 12 12 YOU MIGHT NEED SOMEBODY - RANDY CRAWFORD 13 10 RAZZAMATAZZ - QUINCY JONES 14 19 THERE`S A GUY WORKS DOWN THE CHIP SHOP SWEARS HE`S ELVIS - KIRSTY MCCOLL 15 27 SAT IN YOUR LAP - KATE BUSH 16 16 PIECE OF THE ACTION - BUCK`S FIZZ 17 22 NEW LIFE - DEPECHE MODE 18 26 CAN`T HAPPEN HERE - RAINBOW 19 08 BEING WITH YOU - SMOKEY ROBINSON 20 NE LAY ALL YOUR LOVE ON ME - ABBA 21 21 THROW AWAY THE KEY - LINX 22 NE CHANT NO` 1 - SPANDAU BALLET 23 25 FOR YOUR EYES ONLY - SHEENA EASTON 24 17 ALL STOOD STILL - ULTRAVOX 25 43 VISAGE - VISAGE 26 20 WIKKA WRAP - EVASIONS 27 15 HOW ABOUT US - CHAMPAIGN 28 13 MORE THAN IN LOVE - KATE ROBBINS 29 NE NEVER SURRENDER - SAXON 30 24 TAKE IT TO THE TOP - KOOL AND THE GANG 31 14 TEDDY BEAR - RED SOVINE 32 48 WALK RIGHT NOW - JACKSONS 33 39 I`M IN LOVE - EVELYN KING 34 33 ME NO POP I - KID CREOLE AND THE COCONUTS 35 28 IF LEAVING ME IS EASY - PHIL COLLINS 36 38 TAKE IT ON THE RUN - REO SPEEDWAGON 37 42 BEACH BOY GOLD - GIDEA PARK 38 NE SHOW ME - DEXY`S MIDNIGHT RUNNERS 39 29 DOORS OF YOUR HEART - THE BEAT 40 30 STAND AND DELIVER - ADAM AND THE ANTS THE SPECIALS at the top, in 1981, featuring the talents of TERRY HALL. The Dutch produced sound of STARSOUND, bring us a tribute sound-a-like to ABBA. BAD MANNERS brought the CAN CAN up to date (also brought up to date, in 1962 with Peter Jay and the Jaywalkers). MICHAEL JACKSON was heading down! IMAGINATION scored their first hit...MOTORHEAD went live, and off of the album "Live In Hammersmith". TOM TOM CLUB were the female singers, from TALKING HEADS...BOB MARLEY passed away from cancer, and was back in charts, with his 1975 top 30 hit...ODDYSEY went Back to their roots, with a disco smash...ELAINE PAIGE took MEMORY, from "CATS" (The Lloyd/Webber London show). More disco, from THIRD WORLD, and QUINCY JONES. RANDY CRAWFORD missed the top ten, were the absolutely brilliant "YOU MIGHT NEED SOMEBODY" (much better, than the 90s SHOLA AMA hit)...KIRSTY MACCOLL met a bloke, who thought he was ELVIS (we have one, of them in Reading)!! KATE BUSH bounced up, with her unique style, but missed the top ten...BUCKS FIZZ had their second hit...DEPECHE MODE had their first...RAINBOW and SAXON brought us more rock...ABBA were challenging SPANDAU BALLET for new entries, in the end SPANDAU won the battle, to the top 3...DAVID GRANT was continuing the lead, on LINX...The EVASIONS gave us, a smile, with a tribute to ALAN WHICKER (loosely based on the TOM BROWNE hit, "FUNKIN` FOR JAMAICA"...VISAGE had a self-titled single, along with the vocals of STEVE STRANGE, previously featuring, with ULTRAVOX. KATE ROBBINS (Actress, impressionist, and overall funny lady) starred in CROSSROADS on tv, and gave us "MORE THAN IN LOVE", which she actually sang in the Soap...RED SOVINE passed away, and his country sickly/sad song went into the chart. GIDEA PARK was ADRIAN BAKER (doing a medley sound-a-like of the BEACH BOYS)...KID CREOLE got his first hit, and a big send up, followed with RONNIE BARKER, on the TWO RONNIES. (The vintage charts, were compiled by MRIB, for Independant Radio in 1981). To Robbie, I will email you, concerning the Radio Luxembourg 1970s charts. Meanwhile, when Dave comes in from his Friday Hospital show, he will complete with the top singles this week. So, hang around...

On Chart Show tv, Weezer is 45, and Glas Vegas are 50. DIZZEE RASCAL sells nearly twice, as many as BASSHUNTER. JORDIN stalls, at 3 because BASSHUNTER beats her, on Physicals. DIZEE sells, more downloads, than both. Can JORDIN overtake BASSHUNTER, by Sunday? Outside the 50 tonight are: LYNRYD SKYNRYD at 55, some long runners in the top 60 though from TAIO CRUZ, LIL` WAYNE and ELBOW. GLAS VEGAS, and WEEZER are still in the top 60, and down as well. JAY SEAN enters the top 65, and SUGABABES re-enter the top 70 with "ABOUT YOU NOW", along with the BLACK KIDS "I`M NOT GONNA TEACH YOUR BOYFRIEND TO DANCE WITH YOU". GOO GOO DOLLS are in the top 70, with "IRIS", along with EVANESSCENCE "MY IMMORTAL". HERCULES AND LOVE AFFAIR "YOU BELONG", is the loser this week. It`s in a physical top 40, but misses the combined top 75. Next week, look out for new releases from MCFLY, THE CURE, THE FEELING, ANNIE, CHARLATANS, HOT CHIP, JACK MCMANUS, LINKIN PARK, and ONE NIGHT ONLY. Will the physical release of Madonna, put her in the top 3? Also, look out for new albums, including SHARLEEN SPITERI, BASSHUNTER, HOLD STEADY, NAS, and Compilations: SUNSET TO SUNRISE, and ULTIMATE DISCO PARTY. The top 50, is compiled by taking in the Chart Show tv chart (Saturdays 4 - 7.30pm), and adding in some sales, from Friday in stores and download sites. NOTE: It is not the Official Chart, but come Sunday (as regulars know), it will be pretty close to it.
July 11, 200816 yr ugh... Nickelback top 20, can't believe Nickelback is over Sharleen Spiteri her track is better than Photograph. Thanks for posting guys, very informative as always.
July 12, 200816 yr Let`s add the top 10 pre-order physical singles 01 One For The Radio - McFly released 14th Jul 02 Give It 2 Me - Madonna released 14th Jul 03 Sleep When I`m Dead - The Cure released 13th Jul 04 One - Kylie released 28th Jul 05 Turn It Up - Feeling released 14th Jul 06 All Summer Long - Kid Rock released 14th Jul 07 I Know Your Girlfriend Hates Me - Annie released 14th Jul 08 Shut Up And Let Me Go - Ting Tings released 21st Jul 09 Lay Your Love On Me - BWO released 28th Jul 10 Can`t Go Back - Primal Sceam released 14th Jul Kid Rock, and Madonna in the top 3, overall chart next week? McFly, and the Cure will struggle, on downloads. As will, (probably) The Feeling. A quick Saturday update, on last night`s chart shows Kid Rock swapping places, with Ironik (with Kid Rock at 5). Shut Up etc, and Ting Tings swaps with Sam Sparro, and goes to 15, and Scooter seem, to keep changing places, with Alphabeat at 42, and 41.
July 12, 200816 yr Thanks for the Charts Trevs - they're always very interesting. The OCC are NOT allowing the 'Mamma Mia!' Film Soundtrack into the Main Album Chart. It is regarded as a Various Artists Album - and it is only going to be allowed into The OCC Compilation Chart - as a New Entry at No.1, by the looks of things. The OCC tell me that it would have been allowed into the Main Chart had it been Credited to, Meryl Streep & Various Artists - just as 'Evita', (1996), was allowed in, because that was Credited to, Madonna & Various Artists.

Thanks for that info, Colin. I never did like the advent, of not including Compilations in the overall chart. An album is an album, and it`s good to know that, many Comps are outselling the artists.
July 12, 200816 yr thanks guys as always very interesting! Let`s add the top 10 pre-order physical singles 04 One - Kylie released 28th Jul It looks like Kylie will not get a physical release but lets wait until that week.
July 12, 200816 yr Could Photograph do a 'Rockstar' or 'Sweet About Me and end up in the top10 in a few weeks/months? :lol:
July 12, 200816 yr Could Photograph do a 'Rockstar' or 'Sweet About Me and end up in the top10 in a few weeks/months? :lol: It better not! It's absolutely awful, and has some of the worst lyrics ever written.
