Hi there, standing in for Dave again. Here is this week`s selection of charts via top films/dvds/tv/albums/ the flashback...and of course back for the up to minute singles chart later.

Some good news for some great albums there. Some people are calling Lady Gaga a flop, but I think straight in in the top 3 is pretty good in these times of stock problems and slow sales! Mega flashback time with Now 1 back in at a somewhat lowly number 21 (although it is just outside the top 5 on compilations).

49 NE WE SAIL ON THE STORMY WATERS - GARY CLARK

50 27 BROKEN ENGLISH - SUNSCREAM

 

Not too many differences from the official chart there. In fact, 1993 was the last year that Independant Radio used the MRIB Charts. At that point Airplay was very low at 10%. ANyway, Whitney at number one for the umpteenth week, with another umpteen to come, Snap are serious as... Daleks at number 2, future classics from Duran Duran and, erm, 2 Unlimited making top 10 debuts, Beloved peaking at the same position as on the official charts with the gorgeous Sweet Harmony (though their best remembered song, trance classic The Sun Rising only peaked at 26!) Lulu gets her first original UK hit in 12 years with the boom bang a bangin' Independence. East 17 get Deep a few years before Brian Harvey got them into deep trouble in the press (hence the change of name to E17!) Def Leppard, The Cult and Dinasour Jnr are rocking out in the top 30. Alexander O'Neal doing something more soulful, but all they want to do is criticize... :lol: Naughty By Nature taking us back to the Daisy Age at 32, Chris Rea on a road to the top 40 too. New Labour was just a glint in Neil Kinnock's eye when THings Can Only Get Better entered for D:ream for the first time. Good group actually that had several more top 20 hits, including the originally more popular U R The Best Thing. A lot of covers and remakes here. West End and the unjustly forgotten Sybil remake Howard Melvin and The Bluenotes, Sister Sledge are still family and still climbing, Take That slipping, but enjoyed their biggest hit up until that point with a cover version of Barry Manilow (or the superb Donna Summer), Go West cover Bobby Caldwell (the version sampled by Tupac on Due For Love), Soul System sample Bill Withers and make a day of it, and probably the most obscure, The Prodigy's rave anthem Out Of Space samples I Chase The Devil by Max Romeo (responsible for the naughty reggae classic Wet Dream) and Critical Beatdown by the Ultramagnetic MCs.

 

The top albums in Jan 1993:

18 16 BACK TO FRONT - LIONEL RICHIE

19 23 KEEP THE FAITH - BON JOVI

20 17 STARS - SIMPLY RED

 

Whitney ruling the roost here too. GENESIS 2 albums VOL 1 THE SHORTS featured the trio`s short in concert numbers, and THE LONGS VOL. 2 featured the extended songs. Stereo MCs getting Connected long before the Carphone Warehouse, it was walkie talkies from Tandy in those days... DINA CARROLL was the voice on the QUARTZ "Its Too Late" in 1991...a reworking of CAROLE KING`S 1971 top ten smash. Erasure compile their first twenty hits, and the next volume, Complete Pop, is released next month. Cathy Dennis went from briefly shining pop starlet to legendary writer for all the other pop stars and starlets, responsible for Can't Get You Out Of My Head for Kylie and Sweet Dreams My LA Ex for Rachel Stevens among many others. ABBA still on their original top 20 run of their classic hits album Gold :wub:

Hope you enjoyed the charts. Feel free to comment and rate. I'll be back with the Next Week's Chart on Monday... or maybe Dave will! :)

Thanks for these, one of my favourite threads.

 

Hopefully GA can stick it! :cheer:

Thanks :D Fingers crossed. I think I can actually see them climbing at the weekend.

Interestingly, I just noticed that Britney - Circus, Alesha - Breathe Slow and Pink - Sober are exacctly where their previous singles were on the official chart last sunday!

Cheers Tom.

 

Woah @ Take That’s fall – looks like the January clearout is finally underway.

 

Surprised Poker Face isn’t charting a bit higher as it’s been top20 on iTunes for a while now.

Cheers Tom.

No problem. I think you're right about the January clearout. The close of Woolies last week speeded it up dramatically, with artists like Rhydian and Same Difference's albums plummeting out of the top 100.

 

As for Poker Face, persoanlly I love it, so I wish it was higher, but I presume that the iTunes demographic is such that it sells more there than on other sites. Younger I guess. And more up-to-date/trendy/wannabe-ish :lol:

10 29 LOVING KIND - GIRLS ALOUD :cheer:

Edited January 16, 200916 yr by Robintime11

East 17 get Deep a few years before Tony Mortimer got them into deep trouble in the press (hence the change of name to E17!)

 

I think that was Brian Harvey not Tony Mortimer.

 

Top work, thanks for posting :)

Good work, Tom.

 

Lady GaGa sold 2.8K physicals to rank at #2 on the physical chart last week. I highly doubt that GA sold more than 3K physicals this week.

how bizarre!

I wonder if it'll be the same come sunday

Big rise for Circus single, #3 in Pre-Order, amazing! Will be another her top 3 hit or #1. (hope so)

Thanks for doing this by the way Tom

I think that was Brian Harvey not Tony Mortimer.

 

Top work, thanks for posting :)

 

 

Glad you enjoyed Mark. And you're right, corrected I thought I'd flopped for a minute, but I guess it just took people a while to catch on, like with Jason Mraz :lol:

 

Cheers too Pikachu. Dave and his team are still responsible for the compilation by the way, so I don't have any more data then given, but I wrote the commentary :)

 

No problem Rob too :)

Great! Glad you've carried this thread for the week, its a great read. Nice to see Lily is top pre-oder! :)

No prob Robot :) Yep, I think Lily will definitely be top 5 in two Sundays time, maybe top 3, maybe more? :)

i for one will be shocked if lily isnt number one for at least 2 weeks with fear!

So am i right in thiniking that although its physically not out for 2 weeks you can download it digitally next week? Or is she leaving that for 2 weeks too?

 

Not sure. But I would expect it's out next week for download, since it's already charting in Ireland...

I can't believe Alexandra Burke is still #1 on physicals

 

Thanks for posting Tom.

I can't believe Alexandra Burke is still #1 on physicals

 

5 weeks at No1 on the physical singles chart must be the longest run at the top for months? Usually theres a new No1 every week. :lol:
