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).

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).

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).

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...

02 03 ALL I EVER WANTED - BASSHUNTER 2) =2

01 01 DANCE WIV ME - DIZZEE RASCAL 1) =1

 

) Position without downloads alone.

 

= Is the position, on Chart Show tv. 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.

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.

a big thanks for the 1981 chart trevs! Brilliant to see that chart here - yay!

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.

 

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.

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.

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.
