(The top tv is compiled by B.A.R.B, but this list only includes the top rated episode of the soap, in question). Here come the top albums... w/k ending 8th Aug 2008 01 01 NOW 70 - VARIOUS 02 02 MAMMA MIA - OST 03 04 VIVA LA VIDA - COLDPLAY 04 05 GOLD - ABBA 05 06 ROCKFERRY - DUFFY 06 NE ROCK N` ROLL JESUS - KID ROCK 07 08 WE STARTED NOTHING - TING TINGS 08 03 NOW YOU`RE GONE - BASSHUNTER 09 07 MELODY - SHARLEEN SPITERI 10 13 PUT YOUR HANDS UP - VARIOUS 11 12 EXCLUSIVE - CHRIS BROWN 12 15 VERY BEST OF - BACHELORS 13 10 MASSIVE REGGAE - VARIOUS 14 09 ULTIMATE STREET DANCE - VARIOUS 15 NE 100 HITS R + B CLASSICS - VARIOUS 16 19 GOOD GIRL GONE BAD - RIHANNA 17 18 ALL THE RIGHT REASONS - NICKELBACK 18 NE MASSIVE WEEKEND - VARIOUS 19 24 JUMPING ALL OVER THE WORLD - SCOOTER 20 11 CLUBLAND 13 - VARIOUS NOW 70 easy wins the combined album title, for a second week. ABBA and COLDPLAY are neck, and neck. Outside the top 20, we find new entries for NINE INCH NAILS at 22, and ALICE COOPER comes in at 26 (Along Came A Spider). (The top albums are compiled from stores/download sites across Britain, up to and including Wednesday night). Remember the albums in Aug 1980?... w/k ending 9th Aug 1980 01 01 XANADU - OST 02 02 EMOTIONAL RESCUE - ROLLING STONES 03 03 FLESH AND BLOOD - ROXY MUSIC 04 06 THE GAME - QUEEN 05 04 GIVE ME THE NIGHT - GEORGE BENSON 06 07 DEEPEST PURPLE - DEEP PURPLE 07 05 UPRISING - BOB MARLEY AND THE WAILERS 08 08 SEARCHING FOR THE YOUNG SOUL REBELS - DEXY`S MIDNIGHT RUNNERS 09 13 CLOSER - JOY DIVISION 10 10 OFF THE WALL - MICHAEL JACKSON 11 09 ME MYSELF AND I - JOAN ARMATRADING 12 12 SKY 2 - SKY 13 11 MCCARTNEY 2 - PAUL MCCARTNEY 14 16 DIANA - DIANA ROSS 15 14 VIENNA - ULTRAVOX 16 NE ANOTHER STRING OF HOT HITS - SHADOWS 17 17 PETER GABRIEL - PETER GABRIEL 18 NE BACK IN BLACK - AC/DC 19 19 I JUST CAN`T STOP - THE BEAT 20 27 RHAPSODY AND BLUES - CRUSADERS A lack of those Various Artist Compilations in 1980...XANADU had a great soundtrack, but the film was indeed DuDu!! ROXY MUSIC did eventually knock the soundtrack off the top. DEEP PURPLE`s album spark a rerelease of their singles. QUEEN also took the title track of "The Game", into the singles, that of course was "PLAY THE GAME". GEORGE BENSON was doing wonderful...he originally called himself GEORGE "BAD" BENSON. The ROLLING STONES had their title track from the album in the singles chart too. BOB MARLEY was happily still alive in 1980, and was still selling, and sounding great. MICHAEL JACKSON`s "OFF THE WALL" hung around forever. JOAN ARMATRADING always did better with albums, than singles. DEXY`S MIDNIGHT RUNNERS weere on their first year of chart success. PAUL MCCARTNEY was going down, along with the BEAT (who were drying up quickly). JOY DIVISION (later New Order) were in. DIANA ROSS suddenly surprised everyone, and also returned to the singles chart, selling big. The other VA Comps in the top 30 were MAGIC REGGAE, and HOT WAX (these were both tv advertised K-TEL albums). The singles in Aug 1980... w/k ending 9th Aug 01 03 UPSIDE DOWN - DIANA ROSS 02 17 WINNER TAKES IT ALL - ABBA 03 01 USE IT UP AND WEAR IT OUT - ODYSSEY 04 02 MORE THAN I CAN SAY - LEO SAYER 05 05 BABOOSHKA - KATE BUSH 06 06 COULD YOU BE LOVED - BOB MARLEY 07 20 9 - 5 - SHEENA EASTON 08 21 OOPS UP SIDE YOUR HEAD - GAP BAND 09 08 THERE THERE MY DEAR - DEXY`S MIDNIGHT RUNNERS 10 04 XANADU - OLIVIA NEWTON JOHN/ELO 11 22 GIVE ME THE NIGHT - GEORGE BENSON 12 16 WEDNESDAY WEEK - UNDERTONES 13 33 OH YEAH (ON THE RADIO) - ROXY MUSIC 14 15 LIP UP FATTY - BAD MANNERS 15 07 JUMP TO THE BEAT - STACY LATTISAW 16 09 CUPID-I`VE LOVED YOU FOR A LONG TIME - DETROIT SPINNERS 17 24 FUNKIN` FOR JAMAICA - TOM BROWNE 18 11 LET`S HANG ON - DARTS 19 18 MARIANA - GIBSON BROTHERS 20 10 EMOTIONAL RESCUE - ROLLING STONES 21 14 A LOVERS HOLIDAY/GLOW OF LOVE - CHANGE 22 23 ARE YOU GETTING ENOUGH OF WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY - HOT CHOCOLATE 23 12 LOVE WILL TEAR US APART - JOY DIVISION 24 40 PRIVATE LIFE - GRACE JONES 25 30 DOES SHE HAVE A FRIEND - GENE CHANDLER 26 NE ALL OVER THE WORLD - ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA 27 29 BURNIN` HOT - JERMAINE JACKSON 28 13 MY WAY OF THINKING - UB40 29 19 THEME FROM SPACE INVADERS - YELLOW MAGIC ORCHESTRA 30 NE TOM HARK - PIRANHAS 31 26 ME MYSELF I - JOAN ARMATRADING 32 NE FEELS LIKE I`M IN LOVE - KELLY MARIE 33 32 SANCTUARY - NEW MUSIK 34 38 SLEEPWALK - ULTRAVOX 35 28 NEON KNIGHTS - BLACK SABBATH 36 39 BURNING CAR - JOHN FOXX 37 27 MY GIRL - WHISPERS 38 NE GIRLFRIEND - MICHAEL JACKSON 39 41 MY GUY-MY GIRL - AMI STEWART/JOHNNY BRISTOL 40 25 WATERFALLS - PAUL MCCARTNEY Well, DIANA ROSS did not manage to get enough Saturday sales, to make a BBC number one, but she had a midweek one, until ABBA surpassed it. Disco from ODYSSEY off of the top spot...LEO SAYER just missed getting a 2nd number one. KATE BUSH sung a Russian related song (well kind of). SHEENA EASTON finally made the chart after appearing on the BIG TIME in 1979, with ESTHER RANTZEN (The BIG TIME, was a BBC show where Esther found "talent", and pusehed it and gave it a helping hand). The GAP BAND rowed across the dance floor...BRYAN FERRY came in (with his suit) with ROXY MUSIC. The UNDERTONES (with FEARGAL SHARKEY) were giving Ireland a hand in the charts. BAD MANNERS (and BUSTA BLOODVESSEL, real name DOUGLAS TRENDLE) was doing the best for fat people!! More disco, for STACY LATTISAW, and TOM BROWNE. DARTS covered the FOUR SEASONS. DETROIT SPINNERS covered SAM COOKE. HOT CHOCOLATE were not getting enough! CHANGE featured the soul talents of the late LUTHER VANDROSS. GRACE JONES hit RUSSELL HARTY on tv, and scored a record hit. The PIRANHAS covered a 1958 tune by ELIAS AND HIS ZIG ZAG JIVE FLUTES...FEELS LIKE I`M IN LOVE was actually written by RAY DORSET (of MUNGO JERRY fame), with ELVIS PRESLEY in mind..if you get KELLY MARIE`s 45rpm single, and slow it down, it could indeed be Elvis (really)!! GENE CHANDLER was getting into the disco spirit, following his brief career in Britain in the 60s. NEW MUSIK were just great, but the singles dried up quickly. JOHN FOXX was the previous lead with ULTRAVOX, and MIDGE URE was not far behind with said group. The WHISPERS, and AMI STEWART/JOHNNY BRISTOL had versions of the old TEMPTATIONS/OTIS REDDING hit "MY GIRL". The MANHATTENS and "SHINING STAR", unfortunately slipped on this chart from 36 to 41. (The vintage charts were compiled by Record Business Magazine, for Independant Radio 1980). Look out for Dave, who will complete the thread with the complete singles top 50...Where will Katy Perry be??? Find out soon....
August 1, 200816 yr THE DARK KNIGHT pulls in £11,191,824, ANGUS THONG etc £8,928,834, BABY MAMA £111,945...all in their first week. :o That's hardly anything is it? I thought it would break box office records like in the US. It deserves to anyway - absolutely amazing film

Kid Rock takes the top spot, selling over 4,000 more than Dizzee. Outside the top 50 are: NELLY - BODY ON ME at 55, PENDULUM - THE OTHER SIDE at 53, along with the BOB SINCLAR newie not far behind at 56, BWO enter at 62. BOYS LIKE GIRLS, AMANDA SEYFRIED, DAVID GUETTA, SLIPKNOT, SCOUTING FOR GIRLS (IT`S NOT ABOUT YOU) are all in the top 70. LLOYD/LUDICRIS scrapes top 75. I did a quick check on Kylie, taking in pre-orders (when it was suggested the "THE ONE", would be released physically. Had it happened, it look`s very much, that she would have smashed into the top 3). What a disappointment, for all her fans. Next week look out for the physical releases of CASCADA, NOAH AND THE WHALE, BOB SINCLAR, DAS POP, SCOUTING FOR GIRLS, and TINCHY STRYDER. On the albums, it`s a quiet week, but look out for EXTREME, RANDY NEWMAN, and Compilations R + B CLASSICS COLLECTION, and HARDCORE `TIL I DIE. NOTE: The singles chart is not the Official Chart. It is compiled/based on Chart Show tv`s chart, with added sales from today, to put it up todate. Although, as regulars know, come Sunday it will be pretty close to the official chart. I do not use any info from Official mids, for this chart, and do not have any rules for removing songs. You can see the Chart Show tv chart, on Chart Show tv on Saturdays (Sky Channel 355, FreeSat Channel 500) between 3 and 4.30pm, with the complete top 20.
August 1, 200816 yr Katy is not in the official Top 40, so I don't how she is top 20 in this chart, I smell something fishy
August 1, 200816 yr Katy is not in the official Top 40, so I don't how she is top 20 in this chart, I smell something fishy I think that something is wrong with the mids. I saw a print-out last night, that had Katy at 27, and Nicki Bliss definately at 28. Obviously, Nicki was taken, out by request of the record company. A quote I saw today puts Katy on 7,628 sales. This would suggest that the iTunes downloads, have not been counted, for Katy. 7Digital, and HMV downloads wouldn`t put her that far up. So, that is probably it. The mids today put Katy at 117! That would suggest she only sold 700 downloads, in 2 days of iTunes, and 5 days of HMV/7Digital. So, it`s definately wrong. It would at least 3,000+ by the close of Thursday night.
August 1, 200816 yr There is a statment from member Zeuss555 in the mid thread regarding the Katy Perrygate Incident "I have found out that the Katy Perry Track had many of its Sales missing from latest Mid Weeks, due to a 'technical difficulty'. (I presume that it was her iTunes Sales that were missing). But, The OCC do have all its Sales, from this Week, & it will be in Sunday's Top 40 - in the Top 10 - at least - I'm told. I was told this a few hours ago."

It actually tells us that 7Digital, and HMV Downloads (between them for katy), is only 400 in 2 days. Meaning that the overall downloads from both 7Digital, and HMV is very small, for any song. Obviously, the biggest proportion, of the 400 for Katy would have come from HMV. I believe HMV are the 2nd biggest after iTunes. The Honey Ryder track, must have had more downloads, from their own site. A quick sales estimation, will put Katy around the number 8 position, on Sunday.
