Posted November 21, 200816 yr All of a sudden it`s Friday. After fighting our way through some early bargains in certain stores (well not really bargains, because they are obviously over-priced in the first place), here we go with the usual offering of charts. Ranging from top films, dvds, tv, albums, a flashback, and returning a little later for the most up to date singles chart in the country!

LEONA sneaks above DIDO, a colleague informs me that Dido is well over 4,000 behind Leona...But NOW 71 outsells them anyway. Flashback time. This week it`s November 1983: The Albums: 01 01 COLOUR BY NUMBERS - CULTURE CLUB 02 02 CAN`T SLOW DOWN - LIONEL RICHIE 03 22 INFIDELS - BOB DYLAN 04 04 LABOUR OF LOVE - UB40 05 19 PIPES OF PEACE - PAUL MCCARTNEY 06 03 SNAP - THE JAM 07 05 GENESIS - GENESIS 08 15 AN INNOCENT MAN - BILLY JOEL 09 08 NO PARLEZ - PAUL YOUNG 10 09 ZIGGY STARDUST-THE MOTION PICTURE - DAVID BOWIE 11 14 THE TWO OF US - VARIOUS 12 10 THRILLER - MICHAEL JACKSON 13 07 VOICE OF THE HEART - CARPENTERS 14 NE UNDERCOVER - ROLLING STONES 15 NE ATLANTIC YEARS 73-80 - ROXY MUSIC 16 16 ROCK N`SOUL - DARYL HALL/JOHN OATES 17 17 TOO LOW FOR ZERO - ELTON JOHN 18 11 FANTASTIC - WHAM 19 06 NORTH OF A MIRACLE - NICK HEYWARD 20 20 ALIVE SHE CRIED - THE DOORS CULTURE CLUB just pipping LIONEL RICHIE to the post in 1983. 6 weeks at the top for CULTURE CLUB..rather like the single. LIONEL got stuck at 2..again rather like his current single. BOB DYLAN was around as ever. UB40 gave us the first part of LABOUR OF LOVE the first time round. PAUL MCCARTNEY was at his zenith position..though the single went all the way. GENESIS gave us their best. THE JAM was a retro of their hits, called SNAP! BILLY JOEL was rising back into prominence. ROLLING STONES were doing as well as their single. PAUL YOUNG was a-drift, but the singles kept coming. MICHAEL JACKSON wouldn`t go away. THE CARPENTERS latest was a-tributing the sad death of KAREN CARPENTER. DAVID BOWIE gave us his blockbuster film. ROXY MUSIC gave us their best of the Atlantic label years. ELTON JOHN wouldn`t go away either. DARYL HALL AND JOHN OATES did ok with the album, but "SAY IT ISN`T SO", was the curent single, that was a big Radio 2 airplayer, but didn`t sell much. NICK HEYWARD took a solo single "BLUE HAT FOR A BLUE DAY" off the album..but the album itself was bombing down the top 20. THE DOORS current album was a live offering of recently discovered tracks..a mini album though. The 1983 singles: 01 01 UPTOWN GIRL - BILLY JOEL 02 09 SAY SAY SAY - PAUL MCCARTNEY/MICHAEL JACKSON 03 02 ALL NIGHT LONG - LIONEL RICHIE 04 08 CRY JUST A LITTLE BIT - SHAKIN STEVENS 05 10 SUN AND THE RAIN - MADNESS 06 04 PUSS N`BOOTS - ADAM ANT 07 07 LOVE CATS - CURE 08 06 SAFETY DANCE - MEN WITHOUT HATS 09 25 UNDERCOVER OF THE NIGHT - ROLLING STONES 10 39 NEVER NEVER - ASSEMBLY 11 05 KARMA CHAMELEON - CULTURE CLUB 12 03 UNION OF THE SNAKE - DURAN DURAN 13 12 PLEASE DON`T MAKE ME CRY - UB40 14 NE SOLID BOND IN YOUR HEART - STYLE COUNCIL 15 15 THAT WAS THEN BUT THIS IS NOW - ABC 16 16 A MESS OF BLUES - STATUS QUO 17 27 ONLY FOR LOVE - LIMAHL 18 23 UNCONDITIONAL LOVE - DONNA SUMMER/MUSICAL YOUTH 19 28 LOVE WILL TEAR US APART - JOY DIVISION 20 17 SYNCHRONICITY II - POLICE 21 13 HEY YOU - ROCKSTEADY CREW 22 24 RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE - EURYTHMICS 23 31 CALLING YOUR NAME - MARILYN 24 NE LOVE OF THE COMMON PEOPLE - PAUL YOUNG 25 11 THEY DON`T KNOW - TRACEY ULLMAN 26 14 NEW SONG - HOWARD JONES 27 NE THIS CHARMING MAN - SMITHS 28 34 OBLIVIOUS - AZTEC CAMERA 29 30 007 - MUSICAL YOUTH 30 NE OWNER OF A LONELY HEART - YES 31 22 BLUE MONDAY - NEW ORDER 32 19 IN YOUR EYES - GEORGE BENSON 33 NE THAT`S ALL - GENESIS 34 NE THRILLER - MICHAEL JACKSON 35 20 SUPERMAN - BLACK LACE 36 NE HOLD ME NOW - THOMPSON TWINS 37 40 REILLY - OLYMPIC ORCHESTRA 38 32 LICK IT UP - KISS 39 18 KISS THE BRIDE - ELTON JOHN 40 21 KISSING WITH CONFIDENCE The hat-trick for BILLY JOEL in 1983. On the following week, SAY SAY SAY dethroned him on the MRIB top 40..chiefly because the song was hyped back up the chart, by uk radio and tv in 83. Even featuring on NOEL EDMOND`s ill-fated LATE LATE BREAKFAST SHOW. SHAKIN STEVENS had another top 3 hit here. MADNESS carried on. ADAM ANT was getting Pantomimey. THE CURE got there first top tenner. MEN WITHOUT HATS couldn`t find a follow up. THE ASSEMBLY was FEARGAL SHARKEY`s latest outfit..and another MRIB number one! Down for SIMON LE BON and co. STYLE COUNCIL were always sure of the highest new entry. ABC and the QUO were both stuck..the QUO covering ELVIS circa 1960. LIMAHL away from KAJAGOOGOO had limited success for 2 years. 2 hits for MUSICAL YOUTH one with DONNA SUMMER, and 007 was a re-make of the 1967 hit for DESMOND DEKKER. JOY DIVISION who grew into NEW ORDER were in, following the big 12 incher, of BLUE MONDAY. MARILYN was a good pal of BOY GEORGE. EURYTHMICS were still doing ok. THE POLICE took SYNCRONICITY II off the album "SYNCRONICITY". AZTEC CAMERA should of crack the top ten, but didn`t. We had the single version of "THRILLER". THE SMITHS cracked in, all over the NME, as usual. REILLY was the theme to Thames tv`s series REILLY ACE OF SPIES. YES were into the 30, big rock giants featuring JON ANDERSON. The top 40 began with a "kissing" theme..featuring WILL POWERS/CARLY SIMON, and old baldy ELTON JOHN! (The vintage charts from MRIB/Independant Radio November 1983). Hang on for the latest singles, coming soon...
November 21, 200816 yr Hi Dave. Thanks for this, great as ever Disappointed Mamma Mia isn't back in the films top 10 (although to be honest I didn't get to see it again myself), but I know the DVD is going to be HUUUUUUUUGE next week :)
November 21, 200816 yr 1983 - I was 12 then & I just released that I now own 8 of the Top 20 albums from that chart compared to 1 from this week's Top 30 albums (Now 71).
November 21, 200816 yr And on a separate note, I love this track 08 06 SAFETY DANCE - MEN WITHOUT HATS :wub: I remember playing this and the New Order track all day long, I just love Blue Monday, New Order were at their peak in those days.
November 21, 200816 yr Oh god yeah, Blue Monday is amazing :dance: I was a bit shocked the other day to realise New Order wasn't a big act until the 90s though. True Faith (amazing) and Bizarre Love Triangle (less so) both flopped :o

November 21, 200816 yr You're right, I think I meant Theives Like Us, but even that was a middling hit...

True Faith (amazing) and Bizarre Love Triangle (less so) both flopped :o Not true, they had plenty of hits in the 80s which went Top 40. Blue Monday and True Faith were big hits, they also charted with Round and Round, Touched By The Hand Of God, and Fine Time.
November 21, 200816 yr Can't wait for the singles - hope Beyonce is still number one (or the Killers!)
November 21, 200816 yr Thanks Dave - a good read. That 1983 chart brought back some memories and suddenly I feel old! Dave - was the Take That UC mention last week a mistake then? I've noticed its back in the top 20 in the Tesco chart and in my local HMV but that's all I've seen. Norma
November 21, 200816 yr Author HUNDRED MILLION SUNS - SIMPLY RED sorry to nit pick, its by Snow Patrol Yep Martin, I know...that serves me right for listening to Simply Red, at the same time as typing!

The KILLERS 7" limited physical, runs out of steam and misses the top 40. As the 19-40 positions, sell virtually nothing as physical singles.

It was a close battle this week, in a pretty static chart. Last week`s top 13, is just rearranged. Outside the 50: DELIRIOUS, BOYZONE, WILL YOUNG, DIZZEE RASCAL, TAKE THAT, ADELE, NO AIR, SFG, IGLU AND HARTLEY, THE VERVE...All top 60. T.I, NICKELBACK, BEYONCE, JAMES MORRISON/NELLY FURTADO, RIHANNA -REHAB, ROBERT MILES, and JOHN BARROWMAN all stack up the top 75. NOTE: This chart is compiled from Chart Show tv`s Singles Video chart (Saturday 9am Sky 365), but with added sales to make it the most up to date chart in Britain. Let`s finish with the top pre-orders: The Singles 01 TAKE THAT - GREATEST DAY 24TH 02 MCFLY - DO YA/STAY WITH ME 24TH 03 T.I. - LIVE YOUR LIFE 24TH 04 HOT N`COLD - KATY PERRY 24TH 05 WOMANIZER - BRITNEY SPEARS 24TH 06 MILES AWAY - MADONNA 24TH 07 GRACE - WILL YOUNG 1ST 08 RIGHT NOW - AKON 24TH 09 I HATE THIS PART - PUSSYCAT DOLLS 24TH 10 USE SOMBODY - KINGS OF LEON 8TH 11 GET UP ON THE DANCEFLOOR - GEORGE SAMPSON 24TH 12 BETTER - BOYZONE 8TH 13 I`M OUTTA TIME - OASIS 1ST 14 JUMP THAT ROCK - SCOOTER 15TH 15 IT`S XMAS TIME - STATUS QUO 1ST 16 BIG FISH LITTLE FISH - BOB THE BUILDER 24TH 17 WE R ONE - SAME DIFFERENCE 24TH 18 COME OVER - ESTELLE/SEAN PAUL 24TH 19 DAVID CARRADINE IS A BOUNTY HUNTER - FIGHT LIKE APES 1ST 20 SANDCASTLE DISCO - SOLANGE 24TH Here are the pre-order albums for 24th Nov: 01 DAY AND AGE - KILLERS 02 CHINESE DEMOCRACY- GUNS N`ROSES 03 ROCKFERRY DELUXE - DUFFY 04 808 - KANYE WEST 05 R + B COLLECTION 08 - VARIOUS 06 RADIO ONE LIVE LOUNGE 3 SPECIAL EDITION 07 JOHN BARROWMAN - MUSIC MUSIC MUSIC 08 LEMAR - THE REASON 09 PROSPEKTS MARCH - COLDPLAY 10 THE ALESHA SHOW - ALESHA DIXON TAKE THAT number one single, next week??? MCFLY increasing in pre-orders, may get in the way. Can they beat off Beyonce, and those X Factor Finalists? KILLERS definate number one album. So many singles released on Monday, so some poor vocalists will miss out...
November 21, 200816 yr TomKay, this Week 'Mamma Mia!' dropped from No.11 to No.13 in the UK Film Charts. However, it took more money than it did 2 Weeks ago, when it was at No.9 in the Top 10. It is just that the Top 12 Films took even more cash this Week, which is why 'Mamma Mia!' dropped to No.13. The Film has taken £67,879,439 in the UK - so far. It is unlikely to overtake 'Titanic' now. That Film is the 'All Time' No.1 Film at the UK Box Office - £69,025,646. So, 'Mamma Mia!' will have to settle for 2nd place, as this Week End is its last in UK Cinemas - the DVD is out on Monday. (24th November). We will see if the DVD can sell a UK Million - in a Week. (Monday 24th to Saturday 29th). So far, the fastest Selling DVD of 2008, (UK), is 'Sex & The City' - 820,000 in its first Week. A far bigger, Weekly Sale, than any Single or Album this Year. But, 'Mamma Mia!' was a much bigger Film than 'Sex & The City' - so, can it sell more, (& faster), than that Film on DVD? Edited November 21, 200816 yr by zeus555
November 21, 200816 yr Author Thanks Dave - a good read. That 1983 chart brought back some memories and suddenly I feel old! Dave - was the Take That UC mention last week a mistake then? I've noticed its back in the top 20 in the Tesco chart and in my local HMV but that's all I've seen. Norma I believe it was just the original at a reduced price (again)!
November 21, 200816 yr Thanks Dave! Great stuff :D Glad we finally have a new number one, although I don't really rate it, although it's already been number one for two weeks on the Bullboard sales and airplay chart! Sorry to hijack your thread, but this week's Bullboard chart might be delayed slightly and I won't be able to post any more retros until at least sunday evening. Going away for the weekend and will have limited internet access :( Edited November 21, 200816 yr by TomKay
November 21, 200816 yr Thanks for posting, I'm surprised at Alesha been above Beyoyo, considering Beyoyo is #1 combined, she must be doing better on downloads.
November 22, 200816 yr I think come Tuesday we will see many of the top 10 slipping to make way for the new enteries..Well at least on itunes anyway. With TT & SD almost garanteed to hit top 10 with their tracks..that's at least 2 gone.. PLUS... Could BOB The Builder really make top 10!?! lol. Womanizer is surely going back into the top 5. && T.I Surely going to climb possibly taking the top spot! X-Factor has surely got to fall this week and next week... Exciting week for singles :dance: Albums I think it's pretty obvious who's going to take the crown :w00t:
November 22, 200816 yr Albums I think it's pretty obvious who's going to take the crown :w00t: Is it? Who then? :P Could be The Killers or Axl and Co.
