Sash are in the top 60, and we see re-entries for U2 in the top 70, as Boys II Men re-enter the top 75. Roisin Murphy, Tara Blaise, and Wiley seem caught in the physical trap, and will flop. NOTE: This compilation pulls off at midday today. Geraldine McQueen`s pre-orders were pretty non-existent. So, only download info on her song, was included. Personally I think top 15, not top 10. Now I will transport a request for the Radio Luxembourg top 30, for this week in 1984...For eightiespopkid: 01 01 THE WAR SONG - CULTURE CLUB 02 NE FREEDOM - WHAM 03 12 DRIVE - CARS 04 18 NO MORE LONELY NIGHTS - PAUL MCCARTNEY 05 03 GHOSTBUSTERS - RAY PARKER JNR 06 06 I JUST CALLED TO SAY I LOVE YOU - STEVIE WONDER 07 15 TOGETHER IN ELECTRIC DREAMS - PHIL OAKEY/GEORGIO MORODER 08 04 WHY - BRONSKI BEAT 09 02 PRIDE IN THE NAME OF LOVE - U2 10 NE SHOUT TO THE TOP - STYLE COUNCIL 11 05 PURPLE RAIN - PRINCE 12 09 LOST IN MUSIC - SISTER SLEDGE 13 08 IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN - UB40 14 29 MISSING YOU - JOHN WAITE 15 NE I`M GONNA TEAR YOUR PLAYHOUSE DOWN - PAUL YOUNG 16 10 LOVE KILLS - FREDDIE MERCURY 17 11 APOLLO 7 - ADAM ANT 18 07 BLUE JEAN - DAVID BOWIE 19 23 SKIN DEEP - STRANGLERS 20 NE MODERN GIRL - MEAT LOAF 21 NE ALL CRIED OUT - ALISON MOYET 22 21 MEDICINE SONG - STEPHANIE MILLS 23 NE COVER ME - BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN 24 NE HIGHLY STRUNG - SPANDAU BALLET 25 14 A LETTER TO YOU - SHAKIN STEVENS 26 13 EAST OF EDEN - BIG COUNTRY 27 16 SMOOTH OPERATOR - SADE 28 20 CARELESS WHISPER - GEORGE MICHAEL 29 19 BIG IN JAPAN - ALPHAVILLE 30 NE THE SECOND TIME - KIM WILDE Radio Luxembourg had 26 actually in the 30, compared to the GALLUP Radio One chart in 1984. Of course, it got slightly easier for them in 84, when we were just 3 weeks into Independant Radio`s newly launched "Network Top 30", with DAVID "KID" JENSEN...which was the first chart show, to knock Radio One for six! As well as a load of copycat ideas, for Radio One...now being a week behind the Independant Radio Network. CULTURE CLUB was actually a number one, on the Network Chart..and a midweek number one to boot, and the first to do so, that was recognised. Great memories for me, there!
October 13, 200816 yr something tells me that Geraldine might do a bit better than No.32... and no sign of Sash! in the top 40 :o
October 13, 200816 yr something tells me that Geraldine might do a bit better than No.32... and no sign of Sash! in the top 40 :o Yes my something (well the bloke I know in my local HMV whom I chat to quite often on a Monday) tells me Geraldine is "comfortably outselling" a certain Scotsman on Physicals in the store, as it was fairly obvious from the inroads of stocks for that single on display compared to Snow Patrol & Leon Jackson come 16:15 hours this afternoon. Based on that information there is no way on Earth that Geraldine McQueen is going to be anywhere near that low on the Chart countdown come Sunday.
October 13, 200816 yr the DVD single might help the cause a bit too, it's like a souvenir of the show! I bought the CD single though (because I wanted both versions), does anyone know the tracklisting of the DVD version? it's probably just Geraldine's performance
October 13, 200816 yr Surely Keane must be outselling Oasis this week :o And I'll be annoyed if Rihanna beats Will to the top five because of the huge undercutting of her album!

October 13, 200816 yr I would be surprised if keane dont end up #1 by sunday :o ... is it that much between oasis and keane?

I thought it'd just be the performance from the show! How silly can you get? Slap around the head Norma - a-la the Cheeky Girls! My HMV was pretty much the same - great product placement position for Geraldine whilst Leon's were practically out of sight next to the Boyzone album. Norma
