Posted August 25, 200816 yr Bank Holiday Monday, across England and Wales. While Scotland go back to school, for Autumn term 2008. I`ve been checking out the sales/download sites, with a little help, from the boys at HMV (Peter Jay and John McManus). Thanks to them. A trip to other stores, Sainsburys, Zavvi, Woolworths, Asda, WhSmith, and Tesco. All major download sites, included. The info, added and averaged out, alongside the pre-orders of new releases out today. Starting on the album front, we came up with the following... 01 NE FORTH - VERVE 02 01 MAMMA MIA - SOUNDTRACK 03 NE ALL HOPE IS GONE - SLIPKNOT 04 02 THE SCRIPT - SCRIPT 05 NE CREAMFIELDS 10 YEARS - VARIOUS 06 03 NOW 70 - VARIOUS 07 04 GOLD - ABBA 08 05 MASH UP MIX OLD SKOOL - VARIOUS 09 07 ROCKFERRY - DUFFY 10 09 VIVA LA VIDA - COLDPLAY 11 11 ESSENTIAL R + B HITS SELECTION - VARIOUS 12 NE KING OF POP - MICHAEL JACKSON 13 NE SOMEWHERE - EVA CASSIDY 14 NE A PIECE OF WHAT YOU NEED - TEDDY THOMPSON 15 06 HARDCORE `TIL I DIE - VARIOUS 16 NE LIVING FOR THE WEEKEND - VARIOUS 17 10 CHILLED R + B - VARIOUS 18 16 100 R + B CLASSICS-THE ANTHEMS - VARIOUS 19 31 OAKENFOLD ANTHEMS - VARIOUS 20 29 SCOUTING FOR GIRLS - SCOUTING FOR GIRLS 21 15 ROCK N` ROLL JESUS - KID ROCK 22 12 PEACEFUL ETC - NOAH AND THE WHALE 23 16 GOOD GIRL GONE BAD - RIHANNA 24 NE LAX - THE GAME 25 NE THIS IS A FIX - THE AUTOMATIC 26 08 JOURNEY TO - MONKEY 27 13 VERY BEST OF EUPHORIC DANCE BREAKDOWN SUMMER 08 - VARIOUS 28 30 MASSIVE REGGAE - VARIOUS 29 19 WE STARTED NOTHING - TING TINGS 30 17 JANE - JANE MCDONALD Ouside the top 30 albums, we have 101 90s HITS - VARIOUS down to 31, MAMMA MIA - OCR down to 32, ALPHABEAT go up to 33, BACK TO 95 - VARIOUS at 34, SHAPESHIFTERS IN THE HOUSE at 39, DRAGONFORCE at 40, JOE BONAMASSA at 42, GLEN CAMPBELL at 44. Further down heading upwards BIFFY CLYRO (Puzzle), PAUL WELLER, TAIO CRUZ, COLBIE CAILLET, and the Import of KATY PERRY. In the albums last week, we had 9 in the top 10, 17 in the 20, 26 in the 30, and 37 in the top 40. Here is the week`s Singles preview... 01 01 I KISSED A GIRL - KATY PERRY 02 04 DISTURBIA - RIHANNA 03 03 MAN WHO CAN`T BE MOVED - SCRIPT 04 02 ALL SUMMER LONG - KID ROCK 05 07 BEGGIN` - MADCON 06 25 MOUNTAINS - BIFFY CLYRO 07 NE PJANOO - ERIC PRYDZ 08 06 DANCE WIV ME - DIZZEE RASCAL 09 08 FIVE YEARS TIME - NOAH AND THE WHALE 10 05 LOVE IS NOISE - VERVE 11 NE DAY THAT NEVER COMES - METALLICA 12 09 NO AIR - JORDIN SPARKS 13 10 VIVA LA VIDA - COLDPLAY 14 51 STEVE MCQUEEN - THE AUTOMATIC 15 11 CLOSER - NEYO 16 10 FALLIN` DOWN - OASIS ** 16 19 THE WORLD SHOULD REVOLVE AROUND ME - LITTLE JACKIE 17 15 STAY WITH ME - IRONIK 18 16 SWEET ABOUT ME - GABRIELLA CILMI 19 14 SHUT UP AND LET ME GO - TING TINGS 20 22 GIVE IT 2 ME - MADONNA 21 42 BOYFRIEND - ALPHABEAT 22 13 ALL I EVER WANTED - BASSHUNTER 23 18 BODY ON ME - NELLY 24 24 FOREVER - CHRIS BROWN 25 NE ALL I WANNA DO - PAUL WELLER 26 27 SHE`S LIKE A STAR - TAIO CRUZ 27 23 TAKE A BOW - RIHANNA 28 12 I LIKE YOU SO MUCH BETTER WHEN YOU`RE NAKED - IDA MARIA 29 NE DADDY`S GONE - GLAS VEGAS 30 26 WARWICK AVENUE - DUFFY 31 21 IF THIS IS LOVE - SATURDAYS 32 17 SPIRALLING - KEANE 33 30 ROCKSTAR - NICKELBACK 34 28 BLACK AND GOLD - SAM SPARRO 35 29 THAT`S NOT MY NAME - TING TINGS 36 31 WE CRY - SCRIPT 37 52 CRAZY WORLD - J.

Outside the top 40, down goes GABRIELLA CILMI - SAVE THE LIES. MILEY CYRUS enters the top 50, FLOBOTS are in the top 60, along with DUFFY - STEPPING STONE, SUBWAYS, and WILL I. AM enters the top 70. Another pretty slow chart, then. Last week in our singles preview, we got 9 in the top 10, 17 in the 20, 29 in the 30, and 36 in the 40. Later movers like The Automatic, Metallica, and J. Majik messed us up! Back on Monday 24th August 1992, we came up with this singles preview... 01 01 BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE FREE - LUTHER VANDROSS/JANET JACKSON 02 06 BAKER STREET - UNDERCOVER 03 02 RHYTHM IS A DANCER - SNAP 04 03 ACHY BREAKY HEART - BILLY RAY CYRUS 05 05 JUST ANOTHER DAY - JON SECCADA 06 09 ROCK ME BABY - K.W.S. 07 07 DON`T YOU WANT ME - FELIX 08 18 CRYING - ROY ORBISON/K.D.

Not a good week, then! Acually, we do better in 2008. Also in 1992, we had the number one wrong for 2 weeks running. LUTHER AND JANET stalled at 2 officially. Quite a memorable summer, with the Barcelona Olympics. That was why FREDDIE AND MONSERRAT were back in the charts, and re-issued from 1987. UNDERCOVER covered BAKER STREET (the 1978 classic Gerry Rafferty track). BILLY RAY CYRUS kept going with his "Achy Breaky Heart", and come Christmas, we had to deal with a minor other version, with the Chipmunks. FELIX provided the housey/trance anthem of the Summer, or was that Snap? ANNIE LENNOX was back in the top ten. JIMMY NAIL was off a number one, 2UNLIMITED were are magic other trancey mates! BETTY BOO was getting rather boring, with her rappy styles, and nicking snatches of other peoples records. Shock, horror KYLIE missed the top ten. TAKE THAT found heaven, and were at their best, at that stage. LIONEL RICHIE took a long time climbing the chart with "MY DESTINY", and was still there in early November! AMIGO PARA SEMPRE meant "FRIEND FOR LIFE", and SARAH AND JOSE also took a long time climbing the chart. WAS (NOT WAS) originally recorded "SHAKE YOUR HEAD" in 1983, but in the `92 version, they were joined by KIM BASINGER. I do not recall PAUL WELLER`s "UH HUH OH YEAH". Mind you neither do I recall the BANANARAMA track. We had the re-entry of ABBA, and DANCING QUEEN because of ABBA GOLD, the first time. ROY ORBISON, gave us a re-made version of his 1961 hit, with K.D. LANG from 1988. K.D. stands for KATHERINE DAWN. BILLY JOEL sang Elvis, and also "DON`T BE CRUEL", from ELVIS PRESLEY himself returned to the top 75. JUNIOR GISCOMBE (of MAMA USED TO SAY fame), cut a version of the 1974 hit, by DIONNE WARWICKE/DETROIT SPINNERS...when Dionne added an "E", to her name, and it did not mean "Ecstacy", like THE SHAMEN record, of "EBENEEZER GOODE"...Naaughty, naughty, very naughty!! This was also the week "END OF THE ROAD", and BOYS II MEN hit the chart, and finally made number one, at the end of October (a week, when SIMON BATES, sat in for BRUNO BROOKES, on the Radio 1 Top 40). Here were the top 10 albums, this week in 1992.. 01 NE GREATEST HITS - KYLIE MINOGUE 02 NE LAUGHING ON JUDGEMENT - THUNDER 03 01 BEST 1 - SMITHS 04 02 DANGEROUS - MICHAEL JACKSON 05 NE TAKE THAT AND PARTY - TAKE THAT 06 03 NOW 22 - VARIOUS 07 10 DIVA - ANNIE LENNOX 08 04 GREATEST HITS - NEIL DIAMOND 09 06 BACK TO FRONT - LIONEL RICHIE 10 12 SOME GAVE ALL - BILLY RAY CYRUS We were raving, a bit in 1992 because the other VA Compilations, in the top 20 came via RAVE ALERT (down from 11 to 16), and a new entry at 12 for RAVE GENERATOR II. That section must be dedicated to Mart!n, for we ask the question...Will Kylie ever top the Album Chart, let alone the Singles Chart again?
August 25, 200816 yr I was not expecting Slipknot to be that high. Hardly much happening in the singles chart as usual. I would love to see Glasvegas top 15 tomorrow. Thanks for compiling
August 25, 200816 yr Of course The OCC Album Chart separates Artist & Compilation Albums. So, you are saying, (Artist Chart), that:, The Verve will Enter at No.1. Slipknot will Enter at No.2 The Script will fall from 1 to 3 ABBA 'Gold' from 2 to 4. Duffy from 3 to 5 Coldplay from 4 to 6 Michael Jackson will Enter at 7 Eva Cassidy will Enter at 8 Teddy Thompson will Enter at 9 Scouting For Girls will hold at No.10 'Mamma Mia!' Studio Cast Album will fall from No.13 to No.19 'More ABBA Gold' will Enter at about No.25 (Maybe No.26) And the 'Mamma Mia!' Film Soundtrack will remain at No.1 in the Compilation Chart.
August 25, 200816 yr 'Mamma Mia!' Studio Cast Album will fall from No.13 to No.19 'More ABBA Gold' will Enter at about No.25 (Maybe No.26) And the 'Mamma Mia!' Film Soundtrack will remain at No.1 in the Compilation Chart. Well, I tried to buy a copy of "More ABBA Gold" today, rather unsuccessfully, so I'll try later in the week I guess.
August 25, 200816 yr Well, I tried to buy a copy of "More ABBA Gold" today, rather unsuccessfully, so I'll try later in the week I guess. Looking at Trevs` written sheet, he has Abba in the top 70. I don`t believe it to be available, this week. It seems to be on his Asda list, which also has Go: Audio, and Goo Goo Dolls in it. These are not yet released I don`t think. So, I don`t think you will find it available. I can`t see where Zeus, get`s 25, or 26 from. Trev`s hasn`t mentioned a position. Apparently it`s 63, in Asda`s top 100. They are certainly not in the top 40, let alone top 30. 18 hits, appears in the combined artist/comp top 50.
August 25, 200816 yr Duffy crashing back down to earth with Stepping Stone being a massive flop! odd that Adele's third single probably will have peaked higher :o Such an awful choice, it's a good song but there are far better songs left on the album
August 25, 200816 yr Dave, I got 'More ABBA Gold' entering at No.25 - or No.26 - by following Trevs Post, & removing all Compilations from his Album Chart 'Predictions'. He has Glen Campbell at No.44 in his Combined Chart/Predictions, & then he wrote that further down were another 1 or 2 Artists, then 'More Gold', & then several other Albums. Glen Campbell was at No.24, (when you remove Compilations), so, I added in the next Act, & then ABBA were left at No.26 - with 'More Gold'. However - just because Glen Campbell was at No.24, & then Trevs said that further down was 'More Gold', it does NOT mean that he was saying that the ABBA CD was close to the Glen Campbell one - there could well have been a big gap - which is what you are saying, is the case - Dave. Anyhow, Trevs has re-written that part of his Albums Predictions, after he mentions Glen Campbell - and he no longer mentions 'More ABBA Gold' at all. 'MORE GOLD' - RELEASED IN THE UK OR NOT? It is very confusing! It has been said for Weeks - by Amazon.uk, HMV, Zavvi etc., that it was to be Re-Issued on Monday 25th August - today. However, some ABBA Fans say they cannot find it in any UK Stores. ASDA have it at No.63 in their Top 100. Earlier today, WH Smiths had it at No.92 in their Top 100. NOW, WH Smiths has removed it from their Top 100 - even though they had it at No.92 only this morning! As a contrast, another ABBA Fan says he went into a London HMV on Saturday - 23rd - and it was on the shelf there! It was in a '2 CD's for £10' Offer - he bought it - 2 Days before it was supposed to be Released! As a result, I'm 100% baffled as to whether 'More Gold' is out in the UK today/this Week - or not. I don't live near any ASDA's, HMV's, etc. to be able to check myself. Edited August 25, 200816 yr by zeus555
August 25, 200816 yr There seems to be some doubt on Abba. I spoke to Trevs, before he went out tonight. It appears that Asda`s chart, also has New Kids On The Block in it. That definately is not released this week. I would expect Abba, to be higher if it was released today, but as Trevs did the store checks, I can`t tell. I reckon the release has been put back.
August 25, 200816 yr "I do not recall PAUL WELLER`s "AHA OH YEAH". It`s not even on YOUTUBE" It is if you search for it under its correct title - "Uh Huh Oh Yeah"
August 25, 200816 yr Author "I do not recall PAUL WELLER`s "AHA OH YEAH". It`s not even on YOUTUBE" It is if you search for it under its correct title - "Uh Huh Oh Yeah" Printing errors! Thanks. :D
August 25, 200816 yr I think you're gonna be a little out with Eric Prydz this week, No2 easily by Sunday if not higher...
August 26, 200816 yr I think you're gonna be a little out with Eric Prydz this week, No2 easily by Sunday if not higher... Yeah it looks like but tbf it was not easy to predict it because it could have gone either way. I never thought it'll be that high imo! :o
