50 8 41 3 SEAL A Change Is Gonna Come

 

Finally this chart acheives something :yahoo: Yes, this chart predicted the official UK number one two weeks ago. And Beyonce is still hanging on for dear life, though Brandon Flowers and his Killers boys are snapping at her heels.

 

So who'll be number one next week? Take That have a good shot with the new single. They're already number one on airplay, so it shouldn't be too far out of their reach. But could it be the Killers? Or Katy Perry? Come back next week and find out!

 

By the way, I should be able to post a retro later in the week. It will be from this week in a past year, but let me know what year you'd like and I'll try and do it. Cheers!

Nice high new entry for Christian Falk & Robyn, I prefer this chart

 

Anyhow gave me a reason to bump the topic up :P

Thanks Mart!n. Yep, considering the outcry about Robyn flopping, I've made sure people notice this chart now :) Great song I agree.

Ohh. Great for Snow Patrol. Hope CTS is a huge success.. Prefer it much more than TBTC, which ironically just dropped out

Still haven't heard it Kath, but I loved Take Back The City.

*bumps chart back up again*

 

Quite an interesting chart there mate ^_^ I presume if you would have the Airplay 100, the chart will look far better :teresa:

 

I look forward for C+ to get back, and see what combination chart will be when you'll combine the airplay 100 with the Uk 100 :wub: xox.

Thanks Corholio. Yeah it definitely would, I can't wait for the Bullboard Hot 100 :)

 

Sp, any takers for a retro?

Thanks Corholio. Yeah it definitely would, I can't wait for the Bullboard Hot 100 :)

 

Sp, any takers for a retro?

 

Can we have same time , 1998 please? ^_^ I guess it was the best year in music xox.

Yeah that's cool. I already did it for last week, so I'll just need to do one chart instead of two. Will try to sort that out in the morning.

Because the sales chart moved faster back then, the fact that the airplay chart moved slower meant that certain things were much bigger hits on this chart than on the official charts. Tamperer, E17 and Eagle-Eye Cherry doing WAY better here, Sash! and Vengaboys (sadly) doing much worse. Steps beginning to pick up with their biggest hit ever. Future big hits here for Robbie Williams (not as big as it should have been), All Saints (ditto), Bryan Adams and the Spice Girls here, amongst others. Hope you enjoyed this, and fingers crossed I'll be publishing another retro tomorrow - would you like 1993, 2003 or 2007?

I'm your angel, was such a choon :wub: Well I personally would like to see 1993. Now it depends on others what they prefer for the retro :cheer: xox.

Loved it too, but for some reason it wasn't that big an airplay hit, not at first at least. No problem for 1993, I can sort that out for tomorrow. I think you're the only one reading this thread now Cornholio :cry:

50 4 HOUSE OF VIRGINISM I'll Be There For You (Dooya Doodoo Dooya) (35)

 

The top three actually have the exact same number of points this week, so Meatloaf is hanging on to number one by the skin of his teeth. Quite likely he'll have to give it up in the following week.

 

What I'm intending to do from next week onwards by the way, is to publish edited retros - top 10 or 20 for 1993, 1998 and 2003 and/or 2007. Would that be OK or would people prefer to see the full charts? Also does my addition of the sales positions for comparison help, or just show up that this chart isn't based on raw data?

 

Next week's chart might be a little late, having another weekend away :) Hopefully it will be with you sometime monday though :)

Oddly enough, the 1993 chart is the most diverse chart of the three. :lol:

 

I mean, Aphex Twin, Belinda Carisle, K-Klass, & Kate Bush in the same chart? :D You don't see that every day!

That's true. It was actually a really diverse time for music. Aphex Twin wasn't getting much airplay, but the other three were :)

Great chart! Thanks for this Tom, it's very interesting to read :o

Yep, even after the Radio 1 playlist scandal back in 1993 when successful acts were automatically playlisted because of their status, not because of the actual songs. :P

 

You could also try making a "Retro" Bullboard chart for 1990 from the UK Music Week Playlist charts of 1990

 

However, the UK Playlist Airplay charts were compiled from how many stations playlisted the track and the station playlists were weighted according to the overall popularity of the station. ;)

Great chart! Thanks for this Tom, it's very interesting to read :o

 

No problem :D

 

So people do read this... :)

 

Oh and 99RB (forgot your real name now sorry!) I might do that. Right now I have official charts going back to 1991, but I'm trying to get hold of an airplay chart that Radio 1 broadcasted in the 70s and 80s. Unfortunately the early charts are really volatile and change wildly from week to week, which makes the chart look really weird, although as the sales chart was reasonably stable in the early 90s, it's not *that* bad.

Radio 1 charts from the '70s & '80s? Oooh, do post! :D The nostalgic side of me is already illuminating with joy. :yahoo: :cheer:

 

I will, when I get hold of them. I think davetaylor is trying to get hold of them for me...
