What`s happening outside the 40, in this preview? In 2 words, not much! MELEE - BUILT TO LAST is in a top 60.

 

Last week, in the singles top 40 preview...we had 9 in the top 10, 19 in the 20, 29 in the 30, and 37 in the 40. PRIMAL SCREAM fell out by Sunday, so it would`ve been 38! We did tell you though, that McFly would not be number one. This was forecasted, as McFly usually disappear rapidly...and with bands/singers that are reknown for doing that, we take it into account, when compiling the preview.

In the albums, last week...we previewed a total of 8 in the top 10, 18 in the 20, and 28 in the 30.

 

I do believe my old buddy/lodger Dave, is planning on launching our student broadcast chart on Buzzjack, in the near future. Which I actually present on a late Sunday night. Various rules on that, forecast new hits by dropping singles that continue to slide down for 2 weeks plus. So, you wouldn`t be annoyed with "Rockstar", or any other overplayed songs! That`s something to look out for, besides these charts.

 

Let`s have a quick selection of 3 hot tips, for future release, on pre-orders...

 

IF THIS IS LOVE - THE SATURDAYS released 28th July

 

BEGGIN` - MADCON released 4th Aug

 

HOW COME LORETTA - THE RYES released 11th Aug

 

Points on those...well The Saturdays have quite a big pre-order, and look like at least a top 20 hit. Madcon have a re-make of a Timebox uk hit, from 1968 (that was a hit for the Four Seasons, elsewhere). Another version hit the charts, just last year. The Ryes, are all over music tv, and look another future top 40 hit.

 

Finish off with a look back, to salute the Radio Luxembourg "Next Week`s Top 30 singles", in 1981...

01 07 CHANT NO`1 (I DON`T NEED THIS PRESSURE ON) - SPANDAU BALLET

02 01 LAY ALL YOUR LOVE ON ME - ABBA

03 NE HAPPY BIRTHDAY - STEVIE WONDER

04 02 STARS ON 45 (THE ABBA MEDLEY) - STARSOUND

05 03 GHOST TOWN - SPECIALS

06 NE GREEN DOOR - SHAKIN` STEVENS

07 08 SAT IN YOUR LAP - KATE BUSH

08 15 WALK RIGHT OUT - JACKSONS

09 16 SHOW ME - DEXY`S MIDNIGHT RUNNERS

10 04 MOTORHEAD - MOTORHEAD

11 10 FOR YOUR EYES ONLY - SHEENA EASTON

12 09 BODY TALK - IMAGINATION

13 06 CAN CAN - BAD MANNERS

14 05 WORDY RAPPINGHOOD - TOM TOM CLUB

15 21 NEVER SURRENDER - SAXON

16 14 BEACH BOY GOLD - GIDEA PARK

17 NE BACK TO THE 60s - TIGHT FIT

18 NE HOOKED ON CLASSICS - ROYAL PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA

19 NE DANCING THE NIGHT AWAY - VOGGUE

20 NE GIRLS ON FILM - DURAN DURAN

21 20 VISAGE - VISAGE

22 26 I`M IN LOVE - EVELYN KING

23 NE SHE`S A BAD MAMA JAMA - CARL CARLTON

24 18 YOU MIGHT NEED SOMEBODY - RANDY CRAWFORD

25 17 DANCING ON THE FLOOR - THIRD WORLD

26 30 JINGO - CANDIDO

27 19 NO WOMAN NO CRY - BOB MARLEY AND THE WAILERS

28 NE TEMPTED - SQUEEZE

29 NE COMPUTER LOVE - KRAFTWERK

30 NE ON THE BEAT - THE B B AND Q BAND

 

Radio Luxembourg had just 6 in the top 10, 16 in the 20, and 24 in the 30 on 21st July 1981 (for the week, of 1st Aug). They missed with VOGGUE, CARL CARLTON, CANDIDO, SQUEEZE, KRAFTWERK, and the B B AND Q BAND. For some reason, they forgot to include DEPECHE MODE and "NEW LIFE", on that week and also REO SPEEDWAGON`s classic "TAKE IT ON THE RUN". There was a big ABBA build up, in the top 3 with STARSOUND and the real thing (although ABBA did not get, an Official number one, let alone top 5 hit). SPANDAU BALLET and "CHANT NO` 1", was not an Official number one either, although it did top NME`s, Melody Maker`s, and MRIB`s charts. So, it was a mid-week number one.

I'm happy Primal Scream & CSS will both make top 10. :cheer: :cheer:

 

Oh and ABBA for #1... AGAIN. :wub: :wub:

 

Good to see Madonna will hold still on both charts & I think you're underestimating Ida Maria: surely a lower top 10 atleast?

Looks like another uber static chart for Sunday then!
Oh I see you've ommited Ultrabeat surely it will climb into the top40 this week given that it was #41 last week and has been released physically? :o

Scrub that it's been put back another week - till the 28th.

I know! Only 3 new entries. Don`t you just get fed up with these non moving charts? ;)

 

 

I`m awaiting to see Dave, put our student broadcast chart up here. You will find that much more exciting. Longrunners, tend to sink much quicker on that.

Yep. We got it stuck at 41. Actually, we had it at 51 last week...so were 10 out! :thumbup:

And another slow chart, the singles chart is becoming more redundant.
And another slow chart, the singles chart is becoming more redundant.

 

Unfortunately, whilst sales of i-Pods to new people continues to stay very strong, and conversely world wide record sales are falling, which added to a global recession means record companies are less prepared to "break" new acts, then this trend will continue for some time yet.

 

As some point in the near future, I can see the Top 40 countdown cease in its current format (who seriously wants to hear Nickleback's Rockstar for the 34th time) and I would like it to be replaced with the Top 20, and a Top 20 breakers chart for new music that has failed to reach the Top 20.

 

Unless the OCC change their rules to base the chart on revenue raised (like how the Film charts are compiled) to help benefit physical sales over downloads, which would have probably meant McFly at #1 last week. :P
