Posted August 8, 200816 yr Here come`s Friday Night, on the 8th day/of the 8th month/of the year 08/at 8pm. A lot to do, so no messing (with no Trevs this week). The up to date charts, from the film world, dvd world, album world, and singles world..add in some oldies from 1983, and you`ve got the perfect read for a Friday night! :D Here come the top films this week: (Compiled by Screen International, for UK Box Office) w/k ending 15th Aug 2008 01 01 DARK NIGHT 02 02 MAMMA MIA 03 03 WALL.E 04 NE I WANT TO BELIEVE (X FILES) 05 04 ANGUS, THONGS AND PERFECT SNOGGING 06 06 KUNG FU PANDA 07 NE SPACE CHIMPS 08 NE THE LOVE GURU 09 05 HANCOCK 10 07 JOURNEY TO THE CENTRE OF THE EARTH The Dark Knight manages to take £25,374,829 in 2 weeks. While new entrants: I Want To Believe takes £887,209..Space Chimps takes £563,543..The Love Guru takes £498,829. What is the best film to go and see, I thought? Possibly Kung Fu Panda, or Space Chimps. Not to fond of the Mamma Mia film. The Stage version is much better. Notice that "One Of Us", appears in the Stage Production, but not in the shortened film version (a shame on it`s own). Here are the top dvd films: (Compiled from dvd rentals/sales across the UK) 01 NE VANTAGE POINT 02 01 27 DRESSES 03 02 10,000 BC 04 03 STEP UP TO THE STREETS 05 04 THE ORPHANAGE 06 05 SPIDERWICK CHRONICLES 07 NE HOW SHE MOVE 08 06 THE GAME PLAN 09 07 DRILLBIT TAYLOR 10 RE THERE WILL BE BLOOD Vantage Point the top sales, and rental film dvd. Someone said the other day, "What about the tv related dvds?" Well, it`s a seperate chart, but here they are: 01 DOCTOR WHO-SERIES 4 VOL. 3 02 HEROES-SEASON 2 03 WWW BACKLASH 2008 04 STARGATE ATLANTIS-SEASON 4 VOL. 5 05 DOCTOR WHO-BRAIN OF MORBIUS 1976 06 FRASIER-SEASON 10 07 FUTURAMA-BEAST WITH A BILLION BACKS 08 TOP GEAR-THE CHALLENGES VOL. 2 09 STARGATE ATLANTIS-SEASON 4 10 X FILES-THE ESSENTIALS None of those would appear in my collection, apart from the original (and best) Doctor Who series. Even though I would probably just watch the repeats, on UK Drama in the early hours of the morning! :wacko: Here is the ridiculously over garbage that is Top TV today :puke2:: (Compiled by BARB, with only the top-rated soap showings included) 01 01 CORONATION STREET 9.30M 02 02 NEW TRICKS 8.42M 03 03 EASTENDERS 8.22M 04 04 MIDSOMER MURDERS 7.01M 05 05 EMMERDALE 6.71 06 NE HEARTBEAT 5.78M 07 06 TOP GEAR 5.59M 08 09 10 0, CLOCK NEWS 5.52M 09 NE CELEBRITY MASTERCHEF 5.51M 10 07 CASUALTY 5.31M Definately arranged to be out, when they were on! :o 5.51 million people sat down, and watched Celebrity Masterchef..They need to get out more (was it more a case of spot the celebrities, or who they actually were)?! :teresa: Here is something more interesting..the top albums: (Compiled from stores/download sites up to, and including Wednesday night) 01 01 NOW 70 - VARIOUS 02 02 MAMMA MIA - VARIOUS 03 04 GOLD - ABBA 04 05 ROCKFERRY - DUFFY 05 03 VIVA LA VIDA - COLDPLAY 06 NE HARDCORE TIL I DIE - VARIOUS 07 NE CHILLED R + B - VARIOUS 08 06 ROCK N` ROLL JESUS - KID ROCK 09 08 NOW YOU`RE GONE - BASSHUNTER 10 07 WE STARTED NOTHING - TING TINGS 11 09 MELODY - SHARLEEN SPITERI 12 15 100 CLASSIC R + B ANTHEMS - VARIOUS 13 21 GARAGE CLASSICS 2 - VARIOUS 14 16 GOOD GIRL GONE BAD:RELOADED - RIHANNA 15 17 ALL THE RIGHT REASONS - NICKELBACK 16 NE VERY BEST OF EUPHORIC DANCE SUMMER 2008 - VARIOUS 17 12 VERY BEST OF - THE BACHELORS 18 18 MASSIVE WEEKEND - VARIOUS 19 13 MASSIVE REGGAE - VARIOUS 20 11 EXCLUSIVE: THE FOREVER EDITION - CHRIS BROWN 21 32 SCOUTING FOR GIRLS - SCOUTING FOR GIRLS 22 NE R + B THE CLASSIC COLLECTION - VARIOUS 23 19 JUMPING ALL OVER THE WORLD - SCOOTER 24 22 BACK TO BLACK - AMY WINEHOUSE 25 NE MAN LIKE I - NATTY 26 10 PUT YOUR HANDS UP 4 - VARIOUS 27 20 CLUBLAND 13 - VARIOUS 28 24 PIANO MAN - BILLY JOEL 29 14 ULTIMATE STREET DANCE - VARIOUS 30 31 JORDIN SPARKS - JORDIN SPARKS Not many new Artist albums this week. Only Randy Newman sneaks in at 40, with Natty at 25. NOW 70 looses sales, but remains an easy chart-topper. Let us go back 25 years, to August 1983: (Charts compiled for Independant Radio, by MRIB-THE MEDIA RESEARCH INFORMATION BUREAU) w/k ending 13th Aug 1983 (the top albums) 01 01 NO PARLEZ - PAUL YOUNG 02 02 FANTASTIC - WHAM 03 03 YOU AND ME BOTH - YAZOO 04 17 THE CROSSING - BIG COUNTRY 05 08 THE LOOK - SHALAMAR 06 06 PRINCIPLE OF MOMENTS - ROBERT PLANT 07 05 THRILLER - MICHAEL JACKSON 08 04 SYNCHRONICITY - POLICE 09 22 VERY BEST OF - THE BEACH BOYS 10 20 GREATEST HITS - MICHAEL JACKSON AND THE JACKSONS 11 07 LUXURY GAP - HEAVEN 17 12 09 LET`S DANCE - DAVID BOWIE 13 10 CRISIES - MIKE OLDFIELD 14 NE PUNCH THE CLOCK - ELVIS COSTELLO 15 14 IN YOUR EYES - GEORGE BENSON 16 13 DUCK ROCK - MALCOM MCCLAREN 17 16 TOO LOW FOR ZERO - ELTON JOHN 18 18 JULIO - JULIO IGLESIAS 19 15 FLASHDANCE - OST/VARIOUS 20 23 HITS ON FIRE - VARIOUS Paul Young finally hit the big time, as a solo artist in 1983 (following Streetband, and the Q Tips). You may have seen Michael Jackson`s/Jacksons album advertised all over the tv in 1983 (alongside the Coronation Street story, that gave us the end of Len Fairclough, and a few months later the end of Elsie Tanner). Elvis Costello spent part of 1983 as "the Imposter", along with the single "Pills And Soap". "Everyday I Write The Book", was in Mr Costello`s own name (not his real name, for he was really Declan McManus). ELTON JOHN may have been a bit annoyed with the NME in 1983, as they called his album "Too LATE For Zero", and it was actually "Too LOW For Zero". The Beach Boys had their Greatest hits (another double album, hevily tv advertised), 17 years after the classic "Pet Sounds". Flashdance was the big summer film (without Irene Cara). Hits On Fire, was the latest other VA Compilation (about the only one in the top 50). Shall we remember the 1983 singles chart? Here it is: 01 01 WHEREVER I LAY MY HAT - PAUL YOUNG 02 08 GIVE IT UP - KC AND THE SUNSHINE BAND 03 02 IOU - FREEEZ 04 04 DOUBLE DUTCH - MALCOM MCCLAREN 05 05 THE CROWN - GARY BYRD 06 11 CLUB TROPICANA - WHAM 07 03 WHO`S THAT GIRL - EURYTHMICS 08 NE LONG HOT SUMMER/PARIS MATCH - STYLE COUNCIL 09 06 WRAPPED AROUND YOUR FINGER - THE POLICE 10 24 BIG LOG - ROBERT PLANT 11 25 I`M STILL STANDING - ELTON JOHN 12 16 EVERYTHING COUNTS - DEPECHE MODE 13 09 CRUEL SUMMER - BANANARAMA 14 12 IT`S LATE - SHAKIN` STEVENS 15 28 ROCKIT - HERBIE HANCOCK 16 19 RIGHT NOW - THE CREATURES 17 NE GOLD - SPANDAU BALLET 18 10 DO IT AGAIN-BILLIE JEAN - CLUBHOUSE 19 07 COME LIVE WITH ME - HEAVEN 17 20 13 MOONLIGHT SHADOW - MIKE OLDFIELD 21 23 THE FIRST PICTURE OF YOU - LOTUS EATERS 22 24 FREAK - BRUCE FOXTON 23 14 DON`T TRY TO STOP IT - ROMAN HOLIDAY 24 33 LOVE BLONDE - KIM WILDE 25 15 THE WALK - THE CURE 26 17 FLASHDANCE-WHAT A FEELING - IRENE CARA 27 40 TOUR DE FRANCE - KRAFTWERK 28 18 BABY JANE - ROD STEWART 29 36 WAIT UNTIL TONIGHT - GALAXY/PHIL FEARON 30 22 IT`S OVER - THE FUNK MASTERS 31 37 GIVE IT SOME EMOTION - TRACIE 32 27 EVERYDAY I WRITE THE BOOK - ELVIS COSTELLO 33 20 NEVER STOP - ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN 34 32 FEEL LIKE MAKIN` LOVE - GEORGE BENSON 35 39 THE SUN GOES DOWN - LEVEL 42 36 NE PARADISE - THE STRANGLERS 37 44 WATCHING YOU WATCHING ME - DAVID GRANT 38 26 WAR BABY - TOM ROBINSON 39 47 WALKING IN THE RAIN - MODERN ROMANCE 40 NE BAD DAY - CARMEL Just 6 new entries in 1983`s chart. Noteably: Gold - Spandau Ballet was an MRIB Number One. Back on the Paul Young story..Wherever I Lay My Hat was actually a Marvin Gaye "B" side in 1969 on "Too Busy Thinkin`About My Baby". KC and the Sunshine Band returned..under Harry Wayne Casey (who also penned many a George McCrae song). It was vowels with Freeez..yep V.O.W.E.Ls. The Crown, and Gary Byrd lasted over 6 minutes, and featured Stevie Wonder. The Style Council gave us a summer classic, as did Wham. Elton John gave us the 2nd offering from the album. Big names Robert Plant (of Led Zeppelin), and Bruce Foxton (of the Jam), gave some solo material. Shame that Bruce`s "Freak", stalled at 22. Shakin`Stevens sung Ricky Nelson..Did Shakin`Stevens ever sing his own song?!! :cry: Herbie Hancock supplied the mainly instrumental "Rockit". Mike Oldfield had guest vocals, from Maggie Reilly..who also sung on the other hit "To France". The Creatures was Siouxie Sioux, of Siouxie and the Banshees. Tracie broke away from the Style Council, and gave us 2 hits "Give It Some Emotion", and The House That Jack Built". Clubhouse brought a medley of Steely Dan, and Michael Jackson..big promise that quickly fell down the chart. Roman Holiday, and the Lotus Eaters also looked promising, but did not get in the top 10. The Cure were doing good, as we awaited the follow up "The Love Cats". Kraftwerk, were riding bicycles. George Benson covered Roberta Flack. Level 42, finally got a fair-sized hit. David Grant went solo, after being the lead with Linx, and Modern Romance actually sang a decent sentimental song (for the last top 40 hit). Compare the top tv shows, this week in 1983: 01 CORONATION STREET (MON) 13.3M 02 CORONATION STREET (WEDS) 12.2M 03 CROSSROADS (MON) 10.1M 04 THE KRYPTON FACTOR 10.0M 05 CROSSROADS (TUES) 9.7M 06 CROSSROADS (WEDS) 9.5M 07 THE A TEAM 9.4M 08 WHERE THERE`S LIFE 9.3M 09 WINNER TAKES ALL 9.2M 10 THE HAPPY APPLE 9.1M All those programmes were on ITV. The Krypton Factor Mondays 7pm, Where There`s Life Wednesday 7pm, Winner Takes All Fridays 7pm...Emmerdale was only on Tuesday, and Thursday (as Emmerdale Farm). BBC1 had Top Of The Pops on 6.8m million on a Thursday night at 7.30, followed by Fame at 8.10pm. Most of the BBC top shows were the News (9 o, clock, Saturday News and Sport). Only Fools And Horses got 7.6 million, but a John Wayne film "Eldorado", got 8.2 million. That was the tv, during the summer, so there wasn`t that much on. The Autumn line-up was blockbusting solid entertainment with: Blankety Blank (Terry Wogan), Late Late Breakfast Sow (Noel Edmonds), Juliet Bravo (crime drama), Bergerac, Three Of A Kind (Tracey Ullman, Lenny Henry, and David Copperfield), Morecambe And Wise (the final ITV series, before Eric`s passing), The Benny Hill Show, The Winds Of War, and the fantastically hilarious sitcom "Keep It In The Family", with Robert Gillespie, Stacy Dorning (of Black Beauty fame), and Sabina Franklin (the late William`s daughter). Unfortunately the Americans rather liked this one, it was written by Brian Cooke (who also wrote "Man About The House", along with Johnny Mortimer)..In America it was re-made it as "Too Close For Comfort", which wasn`t a patch on the original, mainly because it featured some chap called "Munro", who was cast as what can only be described as a loony! In the ITV original the main character "Dudley" (Robert Gillespie) worked for a man called "Duncan", as a cartoonist, for a comic. In the American version, U.S. comedian Ted Knight, worked for himsellf, doing a comic strip called "Cosmic Cow". Outrageously in "Too Close For Comfort", the wife of Ted Knight`s character has a baby (rather hard to believe because both her other daughters, were heading towards 20 years of age)! This U.S. programme was actually shown in Britain, on Channel 4 in 1984, and also appeared on Thames tv, at 3.30am, during the late 80s. Over on Breakfast tv, TVam`s audience grew by 52%..Why was this? Well, it was this character who said stuff like "Hi Rat fans"..Yep, it was Roland Rat (who practically kept TVam alive, until the BBC poached Roland in 1986! I`m going to take 5, but I will be back shortly, so (in Trevs words)..Hang Around Folks ;)
