Haven`t missed Paul Weller...he`s in. Chris Cornell re-enters the top 60 with his previous Bond theme...Other than that not much else happening...Fightstar flop. Back in those 1970s...Radio Luxembourg got the following in November 1974: 01 01 GONNA MAKE YOU A STAR - DAVID ESSEX 02 05 KILLER QUEEN - QUEEN 03 02 ALL OF ME LOVES ALL OF YOU - BAY CITY ROLLERS 04 08 HEY THERE LONELY GIRL - EDDIE HOLMAN 05 06 LET`S GET TOGETHER AGAIN - GLITTER BAND 06 11 LET`S PUT IT ALL TOGETHER - STYLISTICS 07 07 DOWN ON THE BEACH TONIGHT - DRIFTERS 08 15 ALL I WANT IS YOU - ROXY MUSIC 09 04 EVERYTHING I OWN - KEN BOOTHE 10 14 NEVER TURN YOUR BACK ON MOTHER EARTH - SPARKS 11 03 FAR FAR AWAY - SLADE 12 28 FIRST, LAST, MY EVERYTHING - BARRY WHITE 13 17 DA DOO RON RON - CRYSTALS 14 18 PEPPER BOX - PEPPERS 15 16 ROCK N`SOUL - HUES CORPORATION 16 12 YOU`RE HAVING MY BABY - PAUL ANKA 17 10 I GET A KICK OUT OF YOU - GARY SHEARSTON 18 30 NO HONESTLY - LYNSEY DE PAUL 19 20 HOT SHOT - BARRY BLUE 20 13 I CAN`T LEAVE YOU ALONE - GEORGE MCCRAE 21 NE TOO GOOD TO BE FORGOTTEN - CHI-LITES 22 09 SAD SWEET DREAMER - SWEET SENSATION 23 24 THEN CAME YOU - DIONNE WARWICKE/DETROIT SPINNERS 24 27 MAGIC - PILOT 25 NE JUNIOR`S FARM - WINGS 26 NE COSTAFINE TOWN - SPLINTER 27 NE WHERE DID ALL THE GOOD TIMES GO - DONNY OSMOND 28 NE TELL HIM - HELLO 29 NE GOODBYE NOTHING TO SAY - JAVELLS/NOSMO KING 30 NE HOW LONG - ACE Well ahead in 74, with DAVID ESSEX...EDDIE HOLMAN was first released in 1969...THE PEPPERS provided the only instrumental in the top 30...PAUL ANKA returned first time in 12 years...THE CRYSTALS with a rerelease from 1963...LYNSEY DE PAUL and the theme to the tv sitcom, avec PAULINE COLLINS/JOHN ALDERTON...The title of that changed to YES HONESTLY in 1975, when LIZA GODDARD/DAVID DONNELLY took the roles...BARRY BLUE (Lynsey`s writer/producer), had my favourite of his...HUES CORPORATION had a great song, but it was too much like ROCK THE BOAT to take off...DIONNE WARWICK changed her name spelling for the come back...HELLO were previously a different group...and ACE featured the talents of PAUL CARRACK. In 1974 Luxembourg got 25 in the top 30. Last week we had 36 in the 40...Somehow we had Vampire Weekend in...God only knows why the boys had it in! Was it a print error? Maybe!
November 3, 200816 yr Thanks Dave, Christina is low, compared where the other new female acts are. Somehow I don't see GA at #1 for some reason, they are not that big album sellers, maybe I'm wrong, they seem to be everywhere at the moment.
November 3, 200816 yr Author Thanks Dave. Surprised Leona is so low :( I think it will probably be higher, come the mids..due to our combination of downloads/physicals, the mathematical equation will be out..I think! The top physicals today were: 01 X FACTOR 02 GIRLS ALOUD 03 GURU JOSH 04 LEONA LEWIS 05 PINK
November 3, 200816 yr Thanks Dave. Surprised Leona is so low :( I think Leona will be higher, and Christina will be top 20
November 3, 200816 yr Disappointed Will isn't in there with Let It Go - his album has shot back up to no.8 on itunes today, I thought Physicals would have followed suit :( . I agree about GA too, have they ever had a no. 1 album? Thanks for the info Dave :)
November 3, 200816 yr For GA, its hardly the same as with the older albums is it? I mean look at the promise, thats not normal for GA. GA are higher than razorlight on ALL online shops.
November 3, 200816 yr I can. Their profile is HUGE at the moment, and The Promise must be their biggest single ever.
November 4, 200816 yr Im very surprised with Leona's one. Its extremley low for her I was expecting top 5 at least, anyway 'Run' will probably chart well on downloads alone with the couple tv performances it will be getting
