Radio Luxembourg got 27 in the 30 in 1979. PINK FLOYD do the business. The SUGARHILL GANG had the first "rap" record...Yes I spelt it right! Of course the first c**p record must have been EAEMON ANDREWS 1955 recording of "The Shifting Whispering Sands!" The MOODY BLUES re-issued the 67 hit "NIGHTS IN WHITE SATIN" for the 2nd time..after a cover by The DICKIES earlier in 79. PAUL MCCARTNEY provided the Christmas stuff, and possibly ABBA too. The JAM provided us with "ETON RIFLES"...comically known as "Eating Trifle". The PRETENDERS scored first on Radio Luxembourg, and DAVID BOWIE put out his 1975 re-recording of "JOHN I`M ONLY DANCING".

 

I`m sure Martin...you remember the December of 1979, and joined Europe`s Biggest Chart Show on Radio One, with the sensational TONY BLACKBURN!

 

By the way, if there are any other fans of the earlier days of Radio One, if you listen to KCFM 99.8 in the Hull area, or on internet radio...you can join this line-up on Christmas Eve...Look at it:

6am Tony Blackburn

10am David Hamilton

2pm Adrian John, and Shaun Tilley`s Request Show

4pm Paul Burnett

8pm Adrian Juste`s Christmas Eve Comedy and Music Show

Britney! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

 

Considering it's ahead of Now 71, it's sales should atleast be near 80,000 copies!

I bet this is not official, right??

I don't see beyonce in album :o...I hope she wont be out of top 40

I bet this is not official, right??

That`s not the point..It`s a preview based on averages/pre-orders of today. The gang have been doing great with it lately..So, it`s a case of do you trust us?! ;)

Phew, am happy to see Will in top 20, and to hear his album has gone up, with all the new entries! :)

Thanks Dave.

 

 

Thanks again Dave for posting this every week :)

I don't see beyonce in album :o...I hope she wont be out of top 40

She`s heading that way..Remember last night she was 25 in the combined album chart.

I apologize, really didnt meant to sounds something like nobody shouldnt trust...im just excited about Britney at #2...I mean most of people are telling album is hard to find because of some shipping problems....but we will find out tomorrow in midweeks ;)

 

thank u :)

In favour of Britney though Addy mate, remember that previously the Circus had topped pre-orders until Take That surpassed it. So, she should be ok, with a whole bunch of song downloads, which will also push "Womanizer" back into the top 5.

thanks again for the information.

Hi Dave, thanks as always

 

Really impressed with top 5 for the Same Difference album :cheer:

Great retro chart, and the Pretenders were the first #1 track of 1980.

 

Back to reality now, looks like I'm going to eat humble pie on Sunday as I predicted TT will remain at #1 for a second week. Oh well, better luck next time.

I doubt Same Difference will get anywhere near that high!

I was thinking the same Jack :lol: AMAZING if they were number 4 though :o :w00t:

 

Also I'm not very hopeful for Britney's position as much after all the reports of not many Retailers stocking ti or anything Etc... :(

"Along with the likes of Zavvi, WhSmiths, Tesco, Asda, and Sainsbury...minus Woolworths (who were not taking part today), let`s have a look."

 

Woolworths don't have any new releases due to their going into administration. Our branch is a mess: they've just filled the chart walls with loads of old sale stock where the new stuff would have gone :(
