Posted July 14, 200816 yr The beginning of another week, and a preview of what might happen, on next Sunday`s charts. With thanks to, the help of Peter Jay, and John McManus in their stores for info, on pre-orders. All put together, from info from HMV, ASDA, WOOLWORTHS, WHSMITH, ZAVVI, SAINSBURY, and TESCO. Add in download sites, at iTunes, HMV, TESCO, NAPSTER, and we come up with an average selection of album, and singles charts. Last week, in the Singles we did absolutely spiffingly well, because for the first time in 19 years, got 40 out of 40 in the chart, 30 in the 30 (although not all in the right order). We had 18 in the 20, and 9 in the 10, and the top 4 exact! On the album front we had 26 in the 30, 18 in the 20, and 7 in the top 10.

Outside the top 40: ANNIE - I KNOW YOUR GIRLFRIEND HATES ME, and THE FEELING - TURN IT UP reside in the top 50, just outside the top 40 are USHER - MOVING MOUNTAINS, and HOMETOWN GLORY - ADELE. LINKIN PARK - LEAVE OUT ALL THE REST, ONE NIGHT ONLY - YOU AND ME, are in the top 60. GIMME GIMME GIMME (A MAN AFTER MIDNIGHT appears at 73 from the MAMMA MIA Soundtrack. The other week, I tipped NOAH AND THE WHALE (and they are in the 40, on downloads alone). Here are three tips, for future release: LAY YOUR LOVE ON ME - BWO (released 28th Jul) BUILT TO LAST - MELEE (released 21st Jul) CAMEL - FAT FREDDY`S DROP (released 21st Jul) BWO should squeeze in the top 40, as should MELEE. FAT FREDDY`s DROP probably won`t! Although, I must confess, I find it quite fun. How did Radio Luxembourg do, in July 1976? 01 01 DON`T GO BREAKING MY HEART - ELTON JOHN/KIKI DEE 02 02 FOREVER AND EVER - DEMIS ROUSOS 03 05 A LITTLE BIT MORE - DR HOOK 04 04 KISS AND SAY GOODBYE - MANHATTENS 05 09 YOU`RE MY BEST FRIEND - QUEEN 06 06 YOUNG HEARTS RUN FREE - CANDI STATON 07 03 YOU TO ME ARE EVERYTHING - REAL THING 08 10 MISTY BLUE - DOROTHY MOORE 09 14 IT ONLY TAKES A MINUTE - JONATHON KING 10 07 LET`S STICK TOGETHER - BRYAN FERRY 11 16 MAN TO MAN - HOT CHOCOLATE 12 17 YOU ARE MY LOVE - LIVERPOOL EXPRESS 13 08 YOU JUST MIGHT SEE ME CRY - OUR KID 14 11 LEADER OF THE PARK - SHANGRI-LAS 15 15 THE BOSTON TEA PARTY - ALEX HARVEY 16 26 HEAVEN MUST BE MISSING AN ANGEL - TAVARES 17 25 ME AND BABY BROTHER - WAR 18 12 TONIGHTS THE NIGHT - ROD STEWART 19 22 I RECALL A GYPSY WOMAN - DON WILLIAMS 20 20 I NEED TO BE IN LOVE - CARPENTERS 21 NE BACK IN THE USSR - BEATLES 22 NE LOVE ON DELIVERY - BILLY OCEAN 23 18 I LOVE TO BOOGIE - T. REX 24 13 BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN - THIN LIZZY 25 NE NO CHANCE - BILLY CONNOLLY 26 21 WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD - JOHNNY NASH 27 27 GOOD VIBRATIONS - BEACH BOYS 28 NE MYSTERY SONG - STATUS QUO 29 NE A FIFTH OF BEETHOVEN - WALTER MURPHY`S BIG APPLE BAND 30 NE I THOUGHT IT TOOK A LITTLE TIME - DIANA ROSS In July 1976 (the longest hot summer, of the 20th Century), Radio Luxembourg had 10 in the 10, 17 in the 20, and 27 in the 30. The Luxy bosses, obviously missed out the ISLEY BROTHERS "HARVEST FOR THE WORLD", here...probably forgot to include it! As it was already up 4 places, in the BBC top 30. Looking down that chart, we see that TV talent show "NEW FACES", had a run of "stars" on their hands with OUR KID,THE REAL THING, and LIVERPOOL EXPRESS (all from Liverpool). Where did the REAL THING spring from? I ask that because they won NEW FACES in 1975. Then suddenly bang, they were number one, with YOU TO ME ARE EVERYTHING. I must admit I was never a fan, of The REAL THING, and this proved more so...when I saw them live. I found a rather big ego, from the lead singer. Definately not to my liking! :puke2: Although, LIVERPOOL EXPRESS were just brilliant!
July 14, 200816 yr wow! well done on getting all of the top 40 right last week :o McFly at No.10 is wishful thinking...I can't see it missing the top 5...
July 14, 200816 yr First Cascada, then Scooter, and now Basshunter for a #1 album? :puke2: :puke2: :puke2: CHAV dance must DIE. And I really hope Primal Scream, CSS, & Noah & The Whale go top 40. And surely grandma Vadge has to be top 3 with the physical - she's a lock to sell 8,000-10,000 physical sales alone next week.

But even Sonique, Chemical Brothers, Moloko & Basement Jaxx had hugely successful albums in the first half of the noughties because they had consistent hits on radio & TV. Besides, I know whose fault it is for bringing us chav dance: DJ Otzi. :lol:

Besides, I know whose fault it is for bringing us chav dance: DJ Otzi. :lol: this is true, but they weren't 'chav dance' they were very respectable artists...not a word I'd use to describe Basshunter or Cascada :lol: tacky dance music has always been about, like Vengaboys and Eiffel 65 for example...its just never had such significant album success before
July 14, 200816 yr Author wow! well done on getting all of the top 40 right last week :o McFly at No.10 is wishful thinking...I can't see it missing the top 5... We were quite kind in placing them at 10, I thought! :D The figures, we got on the physical pre-order, is way behind the downloads. Sometimes, downloads are a good thing, in stopping the likes of McFly, Westlife etc!
July 14, 200816 yr Author Imma chav :heehee: I mean I must be if I like Cascada and Basshunter :P Do you permanently wear a baseball cap, and cheap jewellery then John?! :D
July 14, 200816 yr oooo so if all these are around these areas then all of this weeks releases won't flop really badly after all fingers crossed -_-
