TAKE THAT take the top, with ease. They sell 5 times as many than the Killers. I smell the flashback...going back to December 1989. Charts compiled by MRIB for Independant Radio 1989. The top Albums in 89: 01 01 BUT SERIOUSLY - PHIL COLLINS 02 04 NOW 16 - VARIOUS 03 24 MONSTER HITS - VARIOUS 04 03 AFFECTION - LISA STANSFIELD 05 05 ENJOY YOURSELF - KYLIE MINOGUE 06 06 BEST OF - ROD STEWART 07 NE LABOUR OF LOVE II - UB40 08 16 TEN GOOD REASONS - JASON DONOVAN 09 02 ROAD TO HELL - CHRIS REA 10 08 SPARK TO A FLAME - BEST OF CHRIS DE BURGH 11 20 ADDICTIONS VOL. 1 - ROBERT PALMER 12 NE HANGIN`TOUGH - NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK 13 09 STRONGER - CLIFF RICHARD 14 11 GREATEST HITS OF THE 80s - VARIOUS 15 12 80s-ALBUM OF THE DECADE - VARIOUS 16 10 LEVEL BEST - LEVEL 42 17 47 SONGS OF LLYOD WEBBER - RICHARD CLAYDERMAN 18 25 SEEDS OF LOVE - TEARS FOR FEARS 19 NE READ MY LIPS - JIMMY SOMERVILLE 20 14 GREATEST HITS - BILLY OCEAN PHIL COLLINS "BUT SERIOUSLY", overtook TUBULAR BELLS, as Virgin`s biggest ever album here. Phil sold 600,000 in his first 4 weeks, with it. Even NOW 16 couldn`t get to grips! KYLIE had already topped the chart, on her way down now, and stuck. ROD STEWART did alright. UB40 gave us the 2nd "Labour Of Love". JASON DONOVAN went back up, infact all year round! CHRIS REA had his biggest album. The late ROBERT PALMER gave us the first of his "Addictions". NEW KIDS did not do so well, with the album. CLIFF had his 100th single in 1989, and Stronger was the latest album. The 80s approached the finale, so 80s Compilations were a must. LEVEL 42 missed out on the number one album, beaten by CHRIS REA. RICHARD CLAYDERMAN got out his piano, and gave us various ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER love songs. TEARS FOR FEARS went back up, the album chart, on the back of the current single. JIMMY SOMERVILLE did ok, with current album, and single. BILLY OCEAN had his greatest hits, and had been in the top 5, with the album. Luckily for us, JIVE BUNNY`s Album was at 23 this week, so we don`t have to talk about it...Although it did eventually challenge PHIL COLLINS! The top Singles in Dec 1989: 01 08 EVE OF THE WAR - JEFF WAYNE/BEN LIEBRAND RE-MIX 02 01 YOU GOT IT THE RIGHT STUFF - NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK 03 02 DON`T KNOW MUCH - LINDA RONSTADT/AARON NEVILLE 04 06 LAMBADA - KAOMA 05 16 CAN`T SHAKE THE FEELING - BIG FUN 06 04 HOMELY GIRL - UB40 07 07 PACIFIC 707 - 808 STATE 08 NE WHEN YOU COME BACK TO ME - JASON DONOVAN 09 03 ALL AROUND THE WORLD - LISA STANSFIELD 10 NE GET A LIFE/JAZZIE`S GROOVE - SOUL II SOUL 11 05 FOOLS GOLD - STONE ROSES 12 12 WHATCHA GONNA DO WITH MY LOVIN`- INNER CITY 13 14 COMMENT TE DIRE ADIEU - JIMMY SOMERVILLE/JUNE MILES KINGSTON 14 09 ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE - PHIL COLLINS 15 21 GET ON YOUR FEET - GLORIA ESTEFAN 16 17 RONI - BOBBY BROWN 17 NE YOU SURROUND ME - ERASURE 18 23 MADCHESTER RAVE ON E.P. - HAPPY MONDAYS 19 15 I`M NOT THE MAN I USED TO BE - FINE YOUNG CANNIBALS 20 NE IN PRIVATE - DUSTY SPRINGFIELD 21 34 LATINO MIX - LATINO RAVE 22 36 GOT TO GET - ROB N`RAZ/LEILA K. 23 10 NEVER TOO LATE - KYLIE 24 49 THIS WOMAN`S WORK - KATE BUSH 25 25 WOMAN IN CHAINS - TEARS FOR FEARS 26 11 GRAND PIANO - MIXMASTER 27 47 I DON`T WANNA LOSE YOU - TINA TURNER 28 NE THE AMSTERDAM E.P. - SIMPLE MINDS 29 19 I FEEL THE EARTH MOVE - MARTIKA 30 18 GIRL I`M GONNA MISS YOU - MILLI VANILLI 31 26 C`MON AND GET MY LOVE - D MOB/CATHY DENNIS 32 24 THAT`S WHAT I LIKE - JIVE BUNNY 33 31 RIDE ON TIME - BLACK BOX 34 39 I`LL SAIL THIS SHIP ALONE - BEAUTIFUL SOUTH 35 43 MY LOVE - LONDON BOYS 36 22 STREET TUFF - DOUBLE TROUBLE/REBEL MC 37 13 INFINITE DREAMS - IRON MAIDEN 38 NE LIVING IN SIN - BON JOVI 39 NE STORIES - IZIT 40 48 WITH GOD ON OUR SIDE - NEVILLE BROTHERS 41 NE WARM LOVE - BEATMASTERS/CLAUDIA 42 NE THE MIRACLE - QUEEN 43 28 ARMS OF ORION - PRINCE/SHEENA EASTON 44 46 FOOL FOR YOUR LOVIN` - WHITESNAKE 45 NE BLAME IT ON THE RAIN - MILLI VANILLI 46 40 ENCORE - TONGUE N`CHEEK 47 NE WHENEVER GOD SHINES HIS LIGHT - CLIFF RICHARD/VAN MORRISON 48 NE SIT AND WAIT - SYDNEY YOUNGBLOOD 49 NE HIT MIX - ALEXANDER O`NEAL 50 NE BROKE AWAY - WET WET WET JEFF WAYNE an MRIB only number one in 1989. The following week SOUL II SOUL were also, an MRIB number one! Unfortunately they were overtaken by JIVE BUNNY`s "Let`s Party". LINDA RONSTADT teamed up with AARON NEVILLE. KAOMA taught us the LAMBADA, along with BRUCE FORSYTH (a year after)! BIG FUN were the "Gay Scene" lads. UB40 gave us a re-make of the CHI-LITES 1974 hit. 808 STATE, LATINO RAVE, MIXMASTER took us into trance. JASON DONOVAN was ready for Christmas. LISA STANSFIELD had her biggest hit. STONE ROSES gave us the NME front covers. INNER CITY had virtually had it. JIMMY SOMERVILLE gave us a catchy duet. Down went Phil`s tribute to the homeless. Mr WHITNEY HOUSTON "BOBBY BROWN " gave us a forgotten hit. ERASURE began to get samey. HAPPY MONDAYS also made the NME front covers. FINE YOUNG CANNIBALS were not the men, they were..and proved so chart-wise. ROB N`RAZ, took us to the dancefloor, along with D MOB. Another number 2 for KYLIE!! No comments please! KATE BUSH squeezed in. TINA TURNER was on her way to another top tenner, from "THE BEST". MILLI VANILLI were still not singing, but in the top 50 twice. BLACK BOX had the biggest hit of the year..although slightly nicked! The BEAUTIFUL SOUTH were sailing alone, with a slight chart hiccup. LONDON BOYS had their third (but forgotten hit). IRON MAIDEN crashed down the chart, as usual. A bunch of forgotten hits from BON JOVI, BEATMASTERS, TONGUE N`CHEEK, and WET WET WET...NEVILLE BROTHERS covered BOB DYLAN. And thumbs down for the woman, who recently said to me "Van Morrison" was never the same after leaving the DOORS!!!! No madam, that was JIM MORRISON, and he is dead...well maybe! Have we all forgotten IZIT in 1989, with "STORIES?" It was like watching the test card!! Coming soon the up to minute top singles, exclusive to Buzzjack... http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=oTiQlD-mV
December 5, 200816 yr Hi Dave, thanks for this So glad Mamma Mia is still number one DVD. Does the DVD charts include Blu-Rays by the way? I just got a PS3 and they're amazing...
December 5, 200816 yr Thanks! :D very interesting indeed. Just want to remind you that in the album column there is a mistake regarding Rhydian's album. :unsure: Last week he finished as a THIRD /you placed him on the fourth, which is wrong/ and currently he is on the 7th place, you have decided and put him on the 9th position. Can you at least change the last week position of Rhydian which is officially third! I am very much devoted fan of Rhydian! :wub: Edited December 5, 200816 yr by sarahschem
December 5, 200816 yr Lol @ Big Fun. :lol: v=DD8OHJ0bB4w That was actually Big Fun's one good song...
December 5, 200816 yr Hi Dave, thanks for this So glad Mamma Mia is still number one DVD. Does the DVD charts include Blu-Rays by the way? I just got a PS3 and they're amazing...as far as I am aware they do. Apparently last week (the week it sold over 3m copies in total) Mamma Mia sold 28,000 copies on Blu-Ray, which doesn't seem a very big figure to me. Edited December 5, 200816 yr by Robbie
December 5, 200816 yr Good chart from 1989 dave and shocked that Eve Of The War was a MRIB number one. Sales must have been close back then?
December 5, 200816 yr Yes - The DVD Chart includes Blu-Ray Sales. The Blu-Ray Market is still very small in the UK. So, of 'Mamma Mia!'s 3,124,459 DVD Sales last Week, only 28,000 were on Blu-Ray. It was outsold on Blu-Ray by the No.2 DVD - 'WALL-E'. That sold 340,000 DVD's overall, but 33,500 were on Blu-Ray. Edited December 5, 200816 yr by zeus555
December 5, 200816 yr Thanks for the info. Didn't see Wall-E, but it's on my Christmas list too, because I heard it's great and I saw five minutes in a shop the other day and loved it (although I'm not a big Disney fan).
December 5, 200816 yr I can't believe Jeff Wayne was No.1 that week on the retro chart, would have been better than the awful NKOTB track. Great year.
December 5, 200816 yr Author Hi Dave, thanks for this So glad Mamma Mia is still number one DVD. Does the DVD charts include Blu-Rays by the way? I just got a PS3 and they're amazing...

This make`s it the most up to date chart in Britain. Compiled by DTR. Leona sales 3 and a half times as many as Take That. Outside the top 60 are: Madonna at 61, Lil`Wayne is 63, Band Aid 62, Gabriella Cilmi, Kevin Rudolf, and Snow Patrol - Crack The Shutters are on the edge of entering the top 75. 71 is Glas Vegas - Please Come Back Home, Jason Mraz is 72, and Akon - Beautiful squeezes into the top 70, but we expect this will possibly hit the top 40, by Sunday..if not top 50. Round off, with the top pre-orders: The Singles 01 USE SOMEBODY - KINGS OF LEON 8th 02 BETTER - BOYZONE 8th 03 TERRY WOGAN/ALED JONES 8th 04 BROKEN STRINGS - JAMES MORRISON 8th 05 ONCE UPON A CHRISTMAS SONG - GERALDINE 15th 06 NO CAN DO - SUGABABES 22nd 07 IT`S CHRISTMAS TIME - STATUS QUO 8th 08 JUMP THAT ROCK - SCOOTER 15th 09 JASON MRAZ 15th 10 LADYHAWKE 8th Top pre-order Albums for Monday 8th: 01 SUGAR MOUNTAIN - NEIL YOUNG 02 DR DRE - DETOXIFICATION 03 PAVEMENT - BRIGHTEN THE CORNERS 04 CLUBLAND EXTREME HARDCORE 5 - VARIOUS 05 NEVER MIND THE BREEZE BLOCKS - BOB THE BUILDER 06 LIVE IN CHICAGO - PANIC AT THE DISCO 07 BEFORE I SELF DESTRUCT - 50CENT 08 SEE CLEARLY NOW - WILEY 09 UNIVERSAL MIND CONTROL - COMMON 10 HUMAN - BRANDY Slowing down in Albums, next week.

December 5, 200816 yr Author Thanks! :D very interesting indeed. Just want to remind you that in the album column there is a mistake regarding Rhydian's album. :unsure: Last week he finished as a THIRD /you placed him on the fourth, which is wrong/ and currently he is on the 7th place, you have decided and put him on the 9th position. Can you at least change the last week position of Rhydian which is officially third! I am very much devoted fan of Rhydian! :wub: No, can`t change it because the albums I do are combined, to include the Various Artist Compilations, and Now 71 was number 3! :D Combined Officially it was also 4, last week...beaten by Now 71, and Guns N`Roses!
December 5, 200816 yr It could be Boyzone out of the contenders. Would love it to be Kings Of Leon though, or Grace Jones, though clearly she doesn't stand a snowballs chance in hell... Thanks again for a great chart Dave
December 5, 200816 yr Author Good chart from 1989 dave and shocked that Eve Of The War was a MRIB number one. Sales must have been close back then? Very close Robbie. During that Friday...Jeff, Linda & Aaron, and New Kids were only a hundred copies seperating. So, it was anyone`s by the Sunday. Pretty much the same, on the following week with Jive Bunny, Jason Donovan, and Soul II Soul. Of course, these were not that big sellers, compared to the early 80s! I don`t think Jive Bunny got much more than 400,000 copies altogether, on it`s run. Wasn`t it that Band Aid II, only just sneaked passed 500,000 in total?

December 5, 200816 yr Author where did Jive Bunny end up the following week on MRIB? Number 2? It never made number one, at all on the MRIB list! Number 2 being the peak.
