ERASURE had been number one combined. Lots of greatest hits, with CHER, GLORIA EST-EF-UN (David Jensen circa 1992)!!! SIMPLE MINDS, FREDDIE MERCURY, ABBA (of course). GENESIS` album paid homeage to a 1974 single "I KNOW WHAT I LIKE IN YOUR WARDROBE", that included the line "Me? I`m a Lawnmower...You Can Tell By The Way I Walk!" R.E.M. were at their best. So what does REM stand for? Yep "RAPID EYE MOVEMENT". The soundtrack to the BODYGUARD and Whitney Houston etc, would go on to top the combined albums in Jan 1993. SIMPY RED had been up and down the chart since 1991. DANGEROUS and Jacko, going back up. EROTICA was slumping (like the single) for MADONNA. Early TAKE THAT. "Old" CHRIS REA! ENYA having her annual success. And did we all pick up the number 21 album "MEMORIES ARE MADE OF THIS?" A collection of 50s hits. The top singles in Dec 1992: 01 01 I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU - WHITNEY HOUSTON 02 02 HEAL THE WORLD - MICHAEL JACKSON 03 03 WOULD I LIE TO YOU - CHARLES AND EDDY 04 05 COULD IT BE MAGIC - TAKE THAT 05 04 SLAM JAM - WWF SUPERSTARS 06 06 DEEPER AND DEEPER - MADONNA 07 11 PHOEVER PEOPLE - SHAMEN 08 10 MEGA MIX - BONEY M 09 07 TOM TRAUBERTS BLUES - ROD STEWART 10 08 IN MY DEFENCE - FREDDIE MERCURY 11 16 CHRISTMAS THROUGH YOUR EYES/MIAMI HIT MIX - GLORIA ESTEFAN 12 17 SOMEDAY I`M COMING BACK - LISA STANSFIELD 13 14 IF WE HOLD ON TOGETHER - DIANA ROSS 14 09 I STILL BELIEVE IN YOU - CLIFF RICHARD 15 18 ONE IN TEN - UB40/808 STATE 16 12 TEMPTATION RE-MIX - HEAVEN 17 17 15 STEP IT UP - STEREO MCs 18 NE DRIFT AWAY - MICHAEL BOLTON 19 13 OUT OF SPACE - PRODIGY 20 34 MOTOWN PHILLY - BOYS II MEN 21 26 ALIVE AND KICKING - EASTSIDE BEAT 22 19 LADY GODIVA`S ROOM - SIMPLY RED 23 39 WE ARE RAVING - SLIPSTREAM 24 20 SO CLOSE - DINA CARROLL 25 25 MRS ROBINSON - LEMONHEADS 26 38 WAY IN MY BRAIN - SL2 27 37 IT`S A SHAME - KRISS KROSS 28 24 END OF THE ROAD - BOYS II MEN 29 29 IN BLOOM - NIRVANA 30 50 TATTOO - MIKE OLDFIELD 31 22 NEVER LET HER SLIP AWAY - UNDERCOVER 32 NE STAY THIS WAY - BRAND NEW HEAVIES 33 NE THOUGHT OF IT - LOUIE LOUIE 34 21 WHO`S GONNA RIDE YOUR WILD HORSES - U2 35 28 EVERYDAY PEOPLE - ARRESTED DEVELOPEMENT 36 NE IF I EVER FALL IN LOVE - SHAI 37 NE DRUG OF TELEVISION - DISPOSABLE HEROES 38 33 CERTAIN PEOPLE I KNOW - MORRISEY 39 NE I GOT MY EDUCATION - UNCANNY ALLIANCE 40 30 YESTERDAYS - GUNS N`ROSES 41 41 HOLD BACK THE NIGHT - KWS/TRAMMPS 42 23 NO XMAS/STEP INTO CHRISTMAS - WEDDING PRESENT 43 31 MAN ON THE MOON - R.E.M. 44 27 YOUR TOWN - DEACON BLUE 45 RE ALL ALONE ON CHRISTMAS - DARLENE LOVE 46 32 SEVEN - PRINCE 47 40 CELEBRATION - KYLIE MINOGUE 48 35 RUMPSHAKER - WREXX AND EFFECT 49 42 BE MY BABY - VANESSA PARADIS 50 29 CHAINS AROUND MY HEART - RICHARD MARX WHITNEY ruling the planet in 1992, with the BODYGUARD...I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU originally well played by DOLLY PARTON in 1982. JACKO couldn`t get the Xmas numbe one this year, though he did later with EARTH SONG. CHARLES AND EDDY wouldn`t go away, but follow ups were pretty floppy. Wrestling on the agenda for SLAM JAM. TAKE THAT, and BARRY MANILOW? MADONNA taking another track from EROTICA. SHAMEN having spelling problems. FREDDIE MERCURY a year on from his sad parting. ROD STEWART singing TOM WAITS. BONEY M doing a mega mix of hits. PRODIGY proving more than trance. CLIFF in for Xmas. HEAVEN 17 re-mied from 1983. DIANA ROSS slushy as ever. STEREO MCs sounding rather like a 75 hit for the FATBACK BAND. Did it more than sound like "DO THE BUS STOP?" GLORIA ESTAFAN having her Xmas hit ignored for her mega mix. UB40 joining up with 808 State for a new version of a 1981 toptenner. SIMPLY RED took "LADY GODIVA`S ROOM". LEMONHEADS heading a SIMON AND GARFUNKEL revival. ARRESTED DEVELOPEMENT with one hit down based on SLY AND THE FAMILY STONE circa 1969, they awaited follow up "MR WENDAL". BOYS II MEN with 2 in. UNDERCOVER covering again a ANDREW GOLD 78 hit. MICHAEL BOLTON covering DOBIE GRAY cica 77, that one came from Bolton`s latest covers album. SLIPSTREAM, WREXX AND EFFECT, and SL2 were on the dancey/trancey floor! Early DINA CARROL. EASTSIDE BEAT covering SIMPLE MINDS circa 85. NIRVANA were in Bloom again. KRISS KROSS were still trying to follow up "JUMP", with a message song. GUNS N`ROSES were looking at yesterday. MIKE OLDFIELD sang JORDIN SPARKS...Well, not really this was an instrumental, and nothing to do with Jordin`s song! KWS joining forces with the TRAMMPS and appearing on TOTP. Do we remember the hype of SHAI? All over the press, and Woolworths. MORRISEY had another quick single. Newies from BRAND NEW HEAVIES, LOUIE LOUIE, DISPOSABLE HEROES, UNCANNY ALLIANCE...all songs never heard these days. A 1980 cover from KYLIE, of KOOL AND THE GANG, and why didn`t the DARLENE LOVE rendition of "ALONE ON CHRISTMAS" become bigger in the UK? Maybe because it wasn`t proper English! Shouldn`t it be "Alone AT Chrismas?" Hang on...Back Soon with the up to minute singles charts...
December 12, 200816 yr 10 10 GOLD - ABBA Amazing this was No1 this year! 03 03 WOULD I LIE TO YOU - CHARLES AND EDDYFabulous forgotten classic. COULD IT BE MAGIC - TAKE THAT 1992? :o Take That must be quite old now... 19 13 OUT OF SPACE - PRODIGY Sick! B)

As next week, we will announce Hallelujah! Outside the top 60 tonight: SATURDAYS - ISSUES, KEVIN RUDOLF, BRENDA LEE, SNOW PATROL - CRACK THE SHUTTERS...all hovering in the top 75. Keep an eye on PARAMORE, too. Here`s hoping that STATUS QUO hold on in for Sunday. Who`s seeing them tomorrow? Me! Note: This is not the official chart, but is based on Chart Show tv`s with added sales from DTR today. Here are the top 10 pre-orders in singles: 01 HALLELUJAH - X FACTOR WINNER 02 ONCE UP ON A CHRISTMAS SONG - PETER KAY 03 CRACK THE SHUTTERS - SNOW PATROL 04 I`M YOURS - JASON MRAZ 05 LOVING KIND - GIRLS ALOUD 5th Jan 06 NO CAN DO - SUGABABES 22nd Dec 07 ISSUES - SATURDAYS 5th Jan 08 JUMP THAT ROCK - SCOOTER 09 IS THIS CHRISTMAS - WOMBATS 10 SOBER - PINK 19th Jan 11 GOOD DAYS BAD DAYS - KAISER CHIEFS Peter Kay`s "Geraldine" heading for a number 2, for Christmas? The top pre-order albums: 01 FOLIE A DEUX - FALL OUT BOY 02 BEST OF ETERNAL - LIBERA 03 SWEET BELLS - KATE RUSBY 04 DETOXIFICATION - DR DRE 05 HANNAH MONTANA DANCE PARTY - VARIOUS 06 MAGGIE MAY AND OTHER SONGS - ROD STEWART 07 WHAT A NIGHT - HARRY CONNICK JNR 08 A STATE OF TRANCE - ARMIN VAN BUREN 09 GREATEST CONCERTS - FRANK SINATRA 10 POINT OF IT ALL - ANTHONY HAMILTON Wouldn`t it be different to have Frank Sinatra in the top 40 singles chart, for a change? There was Frank, with a whole host of Christmas songs but they never get into the top 40. The DR DRE album was put back until the 15th, but should have been released last week.
December 12, 200816 yr 06 06 LIVE-THE WAY WE WALK - GENESIS GENESIS` album paid homeage to a 1974 single "I KNOW WHAT I LIKE IN YOUR WARDROBE", that included the line "Me? I`m a Lawnmower...You Can Tell By The Way I Walk!" Going to have to slightly disagree with you here Dave as the album title was bifunctional as there were two separate Live - The Way We Walk albums .... The 1991 studio album from Genesis was named We Can't Dance and one of the lead singles was "I Can't Dance" with the repeated line "I cant dance, I cant talk. Only thing about me is the way I walk." During the subsequent "We Can't Dance" tour the band did a very stilted walk during this song, a black and gold silhouetted representation of which on a white background was used as the cover of a live album (with "I Can't Dance" as one of the tracks) released in the UK in November 1992: "The Way We Walk, Volume One: The Shorts" Another live album was released shortly after in January 1993 called: "The Way We Walk, Volume Two: The Longs" The difference between the two doesn't need explaining .... the second album contained the song you mentioned, "I Know What I Like", as part of a medley thus providing a neat titular bridge between the two live albums. The same silhouette was used on the cover but this time the band members were multicoloured on a white background. The Short album peaked at #3, the Long album at #1.

December 12, 200816 yr Is the Eternal release Vernie, Easter and Kelle? No Louise I suspect. Or something entirely different and I look daft!
December 12, 200816 yr The top singles in Dec 1992: 01 01 I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU - WHITNEY HOUSTON 02 02 HEAL THE WORLD - MICHAEL JACKSON 03 03 WOULD I LIE TO YOU - CHARLES AND EDDY 04 05 COULD IT BE MAGIC - TAKE THAT 05 04 SLAM JAM - WWF SUPERSTARS Who would have believed back then that Take That would return with multi-million single and album sales!
December 12, 200816 yr Here are the top 10 pre-orders in singles: 07 ISSUES - SATURDAYS 5th Jan :o :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :w00t:
December 12, 200816 yr 04 DETOXIFICATION - DR DRE The DR DRE album was put back until the 15th, but should have been released last week. This Dr Dre album is a mixtape and not his long-postponed Detox album which is now due in 2009 Don't expect big things from it chart-wise
December 12, 200816 yr Thanks Dave! Impressed with the pre-orders for Jason Mraz :) Geraldine should SO be Christmas number 2 :)
December 12, 200816 yr Author Is the Eternal release Vernie, Easter and Kelle? No Louise I suspect. Or something entirely different and I look daft! Actually I made a type error. It`s the group Libera. The Album is the Best Of Eternal. Confusing, but not Eternal as in Louise and Co. That`s because I`ve got this streaming cold! ;)
December 12, 200816 yr Is Terry Wogan close to Kings Of Leon at #2? I really, really don't want him to overtake them for Sunday.
December 12, 200816 yr Author Is Terry Wogan close to Kings Of Leon at #2? I really, really don't want him to overtake them for Sunday. Well Terry has both Physical and Downloads doing good for him. Infact he`s in the running to take 2nd best selling physical of the year! Where as Kings Of Leon`s physicals are well out. Given a Weekend push on downloads, Terry and Aled could take number 2...

December 12, 200816 yr 'Folie A Deux' has done quite well on preorders everywhere it would seem. I doubt it will make the top 10 next week though I hope to be proved wrong. It is a huge comedown from 'Infinity On High' though. Thanks for the charts ^_^
