Here are the top albums this week in 1979:

01 01 DISCOVERY - ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA

02 04 IN THROUGH THE OUT DOOR - LED ZEPPELIN

17 12 DOWN TO EARTH - RAINBOW

18 NE MANILOW MAGIC - BARRY MANILOW

19 NE OCEANS OF FANTASY - BONEY M

20 21 HIGHWAY TO HELL - AC/DC

 

ELO topping the albums in `79. GARY NUMAN was the chart electro king, with 2 albums in the top 30 and also the lead of TUBEWAY ARMY. CLIFF took a big climb, although his follow up single to "We Don`t Talk Anymore", called "Green Light" did not do so well. A well mixed chart here to, with the SHADOWS, ABBA, BLONDIE, POLICE, and rocking with LED ZEPPELIN, RAINBOW, and AC/DC.

 

Did Mart!n buy any of those in 1979?

 

He might of bought some of these singles:

01 02 CARS - GARY NUMAN

37 NE WHATEVER YOU WANT - STATUS QUO

38 31 SPIRAL SCRATCH - BUZZCOCKS

39 23 DUKE OF EARL - DARTS

40 NE YOU CAN DO IT - AL HUDSON AND PARTNERS

 

GARY NUMAN top of the singles. Gary has a slight addiction..he loves eating toast. Down for Cliff. The BELLAMY BROTHERS had the year`s corny chat up line "IF I SAID YOU HAD A BEAUTIFUL BODY WOULD YOU HOLD IT AGAINST ME". DOLLAR got a top five hit, DAVID VAN DAY/THERESE BAZARE of course previously out of GUYS AND DOLLS. THE CRUSADERS featured RANDY CRAWFORD (her first hit). B.A. ROBERTSON (BRIAN ANDERSON) had his first hit. Outrageous names RANDY VANWARMER, and BILL LOVELADY hit the top 20. BONEY M`s hit "GOTTA GO HOME" was coupled with "EL LUTE". JOHNNY MATHIS went disco, and it worked! Other disco smashes with FRANTIQUE, MICHAEL JACKSON, AL HUDSON, and SISTER SLEDGE. The other side of "LOST IN MUSIC", was "THINKING OF YOU", the 1984 re-release. NICK LOWE was previously with DAVE EDMUNDS ROCKPILE. The SPECIALS (from Coventry) got their first hit, as did MADNESS. KATE BUSH was "Live" on the E.P. "KATE BUSH LIVE ON STAGE"..the main track being "THEM HEAVY PEOPLE", with Kate rolling balls, and stuff. Alternative music from UK SUBS, and the RUTS. GERRY RAFFERTY couldn`t get it right, and did not make the top 20, this time. ROXY MUSIC had something in common with ABBA, when they both released songs called "ANGEL EYES". DARTS went almost out, with their re-make of a 1962 minor hit for GENE CHANDLER (who himself made a comeback in 1979). BOOMTOWN RATS "I DON`T LIKE MONDAYS", was banned in the States because it was written about a girl in School over there, who took a firearm in the classroom.

 

(The top films are compiled by Screen International, the top dvds are compiled from shops/rentals across Britain by DTR, the top tv compiled by BARB, top albums compiled from shops/download sites up to Wednesday evening, and the vintage charts were compiled by Record Business magazine, for Independant Radio 1979).

 

 

Hang on, and I will stick on the latest singles charts...from about 8.30pm...

Thanks for all the info Dave.

 

Do you mean Will's physical pre-orders are higher than Oasis, or that his d/s added to pre-orders are higher?

Oh the album! :o I was getting confused there! Yes, the album is the number 2 (overall) pre-order after Oasis.

With the downloads included he is higher. without the downloads he falls just a little behind Oasis..and I mean a very tad behind.

Could i ask another question :P

 

Jennifer hudson is #15 in the official chart, as far as i know she as no physical cd for pre-order.

how come she is #7 on the fresh chart...what exactly is it based on please :D

She shouldn`t be at 7 it`s a misprint on a printout, I noticed she is listed twice. She should be 17, not 7.

Thanks :)
