Posted July 28, 200816 yr The beginning of another week. With thanks to John McManus, and Peter Jay here is the Monday preview, as to what may happen in next Sunday`s (exicting or not) countdown. We took info, and pre-order info of this week`s new releases, from HMV, WOOLWORTHS, ASDA, ZAVVI, SAINSBURY, TESCO and all the download sites, and averaged the lot out, and came up with this...

The PIGEON DETECTIVES, and PENDULUM sneak into the top 50, too. LLOYD is in at 52, BWO fight for life at 58, KYLIE, and DAN LE SAC fight for the top 75. Here is the album combined top 30 preview... 01 01 NOW 70 - VARIOUS 02 02 MAMMA MIA - OST 03 04 VIVA LA VIDA - COLDPLAY 04 05 GOLD - ABBA 05 NE ROCK N` ROLL JESUS - KID ROCK 06 03 NOW YOU`RE GONE - BASSHUNTER 07 07 ROCKFERRY - DUFFY 08 10 WE STARTED NOTHING - TING TINGS 09 06 MELODY - SHARLEEN SPITERI 10 12 ULTIMATE STREET DANCE - VARIOUS 11 NE MASSIVE WEEKEND - VARIOUS 12 NE FORTRESS ROUND MY HEART - IDA MARIA 13 NE GARAGE CLASSICS VOL. 2 - VARIOUS 14 14 EXCLUSIVE - CHRIS BROWN 15 13 MASSIVE REGGAE - VARIOUS 16 NE 100 HITS: R + B CLASSICS - VARIOUS 17 11 PUT YOUR HANDS UP - VARIOUS 18 15 VERY BEST OF - BACHELORS 19 NE ULTIMATE HOLIDAY PARTY - VARIOUS 20 NE ALONG CAME A SPIDER - ALICE COOPER 21 25 GOOD GIRL GONE BAD - RIHANNA 22 08 CLUBLAND 13 - VARIOUS 23 16 ALL THE RIGHT REASONS - NICKELBACK 24 24 BACK TO BLACK - AMY WINEHOUSE 25 22 PIANO MAN - BILLY JOEL 26 18 MY SONGS - VARIOUS 27 27 SUNRISE TO SUNSET - VARIOUS 28 20 R + B THE LOVE COLLECTION - VARIOUS 29 NE SOULFLY - CONQUER 30 23 SKY DIVIN` - DARREN STYLES Outside this top 30, we found JUSTIN FLETCHER - SING SOMETHING SPECIAL...Back up for the FEELING, and PENDULUM...MELEE - DEVILS AND ANGELS (all in the top 40). Further down other entries for other VA Comps...100 HITS CLUB CLASSICS, 100 HITS DANCE ANTHEMS, 100 HITS ROCK N` ROLL, and 100 HITS KIDS, as well as HED KANDI BEACH HOUSE...NINE INCH NAILS hit the 50, and GAVIN DE GRAW doesn`t (he hits the top 100). Last week, we got 8 in the 10, 18 in the 20, and 28 in the top 30 (for the albums). In the singles we had 8 in the 10, 18 in the 20, 29 in the 30, and 36 in the top 40 (the re-entries, and the Script appearing quickly, surprised us)...But it has been months, since we got the number one single wrong. We said McFly wouldn`t do it, and today even Kid Rock, has the top selling physical too. The only contest, is The Saturdays (who entered a physical chart today at 6). The Script, do not look good on physicals today, as they miss a physical top 10. How did Radio Luxembourg do, in 1975?... 01 05 IF YOU THINK YOU KNOW HOW TO LOVE ME - SMOKEY 02 01 GIVE A LITTLE LOVE - BAY CITY ROLLERS 03 04 SEALED WITH A KISS - BRYAN HYLAND 04 02 BARBADOS - TYPICALLY TROPICAL 05 08 JIVE TALKIN` - BEE GEES 06 09 IT`S IN HIS KISS - LINDA LEWIS 07 18 I CAN`T GIVE YOU ANYTHING BUT MY LOVE - STYLISTICS 08 10 ACTION - THE SWEET 09 07 TEARS ON MY PILLOW - JOHNNY NASH 10 22 DELILAH - SENSATIONAL ALEX HARVEY BAND 11 03 ROLLIN` STONE - DAVID ESSEX 12 12 I WRITE THE SONGS - DAVID CASSIDY 13 06 MISTY - RAY STEVENS 14 23 HIGHWIRE - LINDA CARR AND THE LOVE SQUAD 15 17 NEW YORK CITY - T.REX 16 21 BLANKET ON THE GROUND - BILLY JO SPEARS 17 20 SHERRY - ADRIAN BAKER 18 13 HAVE YOU SEEN HER - CHILTES 19 16 THE HUSTLE/GET DANCIN` - VAN MCCOY 20 NE DOLLY MY LOVE - MOMENTS 21 26 7-6-5-4-3-2-1 BLOW YOUR WHISTLE - RIMSHOTS 22 11 D.I.V.O.R.C.E. - TAMMY WYNETTE 23 27 IT`S BEEN SO LONG - GEORGE MCCRAE 24 28 LOVE ME BABY - SUSAN CADOGAN 25 NE GET IN THE SWING - SPARKS 26 30 EL BIMBO - BIMBO JET 27 29 I DO I DO I DO ID I DO/ROCK ME - ABBA 28 15 FOOT STOMPIN` MUSIC - HAMILTON BOHANNON 29 NE FAME - DAVID BOWIE 30 NE LOVE WILL KEEP US TOGETHER - CAPTAIN AND TENNILLE Radio Luxembourg had 9 in the 10, in 1975 (but did not include banned records, least of all JUDGE DREAD`s rendition of "COME OUTSIDE"...including lines such as "I don`t fancy you now, s*d off! You`re not even a real woman, you`re one of them fellas dressed up!" Dodgy, but funny stuff :) Luxembourg had 18 in the 20, and 27 in the 30. Now, I would say the the BAY CITY ROLLERS "GIVE A LITTLE LOVE", is the best number one, of the 70s, and never ages. SMOKIE spelt thier name S-M-O-K-E-Y for their early hits. LINDA LEWIS was a bit of a stage musical performer (unfortunately, not the best singer in the world). Here she gave her rendition of "THE SHOOP SHOOP SONG". BRYAN HYLAND returned to the top 10, after 13 years. DAVID CASSIDY wrote the songs, not this one though!! It was written by Bruce Johnston (formerly of the Beach Boys). ALEX HARVEY re-did "DELILAH", as a bit of a send up (another sadily missed showman). ADRIAN BAKER was a bit of a session singer, who formerly sung with ADRIAN GURVITZ (of CLASSIC fame, the 1982 top 10 hit). In the 70s, BAKER and GURVITZ were the BAKER/GURVITZ ARMY. Adrian, was also the voice on the 1981 singles, by GIDEA PARK. JOHHNY NASH did a re-take on "TEARS ON MY PILLOW" (people would say, it wasn`t the same song that Kylie recorded years later, but chiefly it was). RAY STEVENS updated an old JOHNNY MATHIS hit (an ERROL GARNER song from 1958). TAMMY WYNETTE re-released "D.I.V.O.R.C.E", from 1968 (following up the re-issued 1969 hit "STAND BY YOUR MAN". It was the best in soul/dance for the RIMSHOTS, LINDA CARR, and HAMILTON BOHANNON...HAMILTON following up, his other hit "DISCO STOMP" (Unfortunately the 2nd, sounded just like the first). ABBA missed the BBC Top 30, with "I DO I DO I DO I DO I DO". Although some stations, played the "B" side "ROCK ME" (which was also released in 1977, as BRENDON`s follow up, to "GIMME SOME". In all, for me 1975 is one of my favourite years...very varied tastes, of music reflected in the chart...ahh, I remember it well!
July 28, 200816 yr The Saturdays look about right, 4 new entries a bit of improvement, but there's room for improvement in the new entries department.
July 28, 200816 yr What an awful #01 that would be! :( I hope either Dizzee or even The Saturdays somehow get there instead!
July 28, 200816 yr Author trevs, I believe you left out Madonna's Give It 2 Me. :P I did actually! Sorted now, I got her mixed up with Rihanna! :) Just imagine that...Who`s better of the two?! :teresa:
July 28, 200816 yr BTW, I'm sure gooddelta can't wait to hear Sara Bareilles' version of American Boy? :lol:
July 28, 200816 yr Author BTW, I'm sure gooddelta can't wait to hear Sara Bareilles' version of American Boy? :lol: Hell! I must be suffering from all the sun!
July 28, 200816 yr cheers trevs! That song from the Luxy chart in 1975, El Bimbo by Bimbo Jet - it reminds me of the summer of 1975 and being on holiday with the family! It was an absolutely dreadful song but somehow those awful songs remind me of sunny days as a kid...
July 28, 200816 yr 'I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do' was not a Double 'A' with 'Rock Me' in most Countries - including the UK. 'Rock Me' was just its 'B' Side here. The 'A' Side was No.1 in both Australia & New Zealand in 1975, & in 1976, 'Rock Me' was played by DJ's, & the Single climbed both Charts again - with 'Rock Me' as the 'A' Side. It reached No.2 in New Zealand, & No.4 in Australia.
