**McFly charted 2 weeks ago with Do Ya on it's own, at no. 37 for one week.

 

So unsurprisingly Take That take top spot on this chart too, although surprisingly Beyonce has now overtaken TT on the airplay chart. Madonna doing really great here, although it would still be her smallest hit ever if it was the sales position... :(

 

So who'll be number one next week? It could be Leona, as you can see she's beginning to pick up airplay, and number 1 on sales is pretty much guaranteed. But could Take That walk the Circus tightrope a little longer? Or how about Britney? Come back next week and find out! Fingers crossed, retros coming on wednesday. Cheers!

Thanks Tom. The Independant Radio lot could do a lot better, if they used your lists. Honestly that Hit40uk stuff, goes backwards. It make`s me laugh, because when they launched the Network Top 30 in 1984, it was to be ahead of the BBC!

Thanks Dave. Know what you mean about the Hit40UK :lol: It's very behind the times. Then again, there's a lot of old songs still hanging around on airplay down the bottom end of this chart.

Wow, quiet here this week... So by way of a *bump* here's the retro top 20s from this week in 1993 and 1998. If anyone wants the full top 50s let me know. I should be able to post the 2003 and 2007 retros tomorrow or Saturday. Enjoy :)

Leona should climb on airplay (not sure if it's going to be number one though!), and Rihanna too. Not sure if James Morrison will be top 20 on Monday, Will Young and Wiley are climbing just outside the 20.

 

Please let me know if you want any more info, anymore retros or full charts. If you're not interested though, let me know, as I'm thinking about stopping publishing this chart in the next few weeks...

I should say James, will likely make the top 20, on Monday..if not top 15. Could you email me the 90% sales/10% airplay based on the Almost Saturday top 50. please Tom?
