Outside the 50, back up for Rihanna - Disturbia at 51, ditto up for Coldplay (VLV), in for Shontelle... that's it for the top 60. Whereas the top 70 shows Vampire Weekend, Weezer, Bruce Springsteen, N-Dubz, and Akon...we are still ruling the world with Take That, as is Commercial Radio! Bryn Christopher is the week`s loser, so he isn`t so Fearless now!

 

"You Don`t Mess With the Zohan" becomes top dvd film today. To be honest, I haven't seen it but I approve of Ace Of Base on the soundtrack :)

30 NE SHOORAH SHOORAH - BETTY WRIGHT

 

With a few re-makes here. GLORIA GAYNOR (did she ever do her own material), covering the Jackson Five 1970 hit. JOHN HOLT doing KRIS KRISSTOFFERSON. ELVIS doing CHUCK BERRY from 1965. RALPH MCTELL doing a re-working of his own 1968 recording. The CARPENTERS covering the MARVELETTES from 1961. BILLY SWAN doing ELVIS. RINGO STARR doing the HILLTOPPERS/PLATTERS etc. WIGAN`s CHOSEN FEW was a re-recorded version (with added chanting), of a 1968 original cut from the Northern Soul scene. PILOT featured a couple of members of the 1971 original line-up of the BAY CITY ROLLERS. JANUARY was surprisingly number one...in February! THE TYMES get their biggest UK hit ever, before that it was a vcover of Barbara Streisand's People, top 20 in 1969. KENNY once featured a young Keith Chegwin. MAC AND KATIE KISSOON recorded the first hit version of "CHIRPY CHIRPY CHEEP CHEEP" in 1971 (although Italy-based Scouser Lally Stott wrote and performed the original). SWEET SENSATION won tv talent show New Faces in 1974, there 2nd hit sounded too much like the first "SAD SWEET DREAMER". THE GLITTER BAND had their first solo outing away from the double G. KEN BOOTHE actually released a version of SANDIE SHAW`s "PUPPET ON A STRING" in the Summer of 1974...not a hit, surprise! "CRYING OVER YOU" was his second and last hit.I believe PUPPET ON A STRING and Ken is available to hear on YouTube. Pretty ghastly reggae version! DAVID ESSEX starred in the film "STARDUST", and also had a top ten single with it. Not a film that crops up on TV too much, but if it does have a look at it. SPARKS had their last top twenty hit until 1979's amazing "The Number One Song In Heaven" made it all the way to number... fourteen! JOHNNY WAKELIN did his first Ali record, paying homeage to the man himself. Johnny should have been bigger, and did all types of music on the album, ranging from soul to the original R N` B sound (not that stuff of today), and also reggae. QUEEN scored a 3rd hit. DANA returned, following 3 years of flops. Strange but true...JOHNNY MATHIS more or less split sales with Dana, with his re-make of Stylistics 1972 hit "I`M STONE IN LOVE WITH YOU". Both he, and Dana climbed the chart simultaneously...but peaked at 10, and 8 respectively. Although on Luxembourg Johnny got no higher than 16, and Dana peaked at 7. Both seesawing up and down the top 20. LOVE UNLIMITED were Barry White`s orchestral/vocal backing group. Thee ghasps of disappointment as KEVIN JOHNSON (who was well played, and tipped in 1975), fell short of the top 20, by a few points.

Cheers Tom. :)

 

Looking like a very static week for singles. Good to see White Lies go top3 on the albums.

  • Author
Yep, there's not much going on on the singles front. Personally I hope Lady Gage stays top 5 on albums, and I really hope Kudi doesn't beat her on singles...
Franz Ferdinand 38????? Though that was out on physicals this week. I would think it would be higher than this, even if it isn't that good.

It is. Unfortunately the whole album leaked online a few weeks ago, and digital sales are disastrous...

Great for White Lies, but a real shame for Franz Ferdinand. :(

I was thinking Ulysses would be their beiggest hit yet!

It should be bigger. Fingers crossed it will climb in the week. White Lies is actually a potential number one for next week... Surprised the single is out of the top 40 though.

I hope White Lies can take the #1 album this week, otherwise album sales are looking very dismal.

 

On the single front it looks pretty static, I can't see FF cracking the top 10, to be honest they are more album sellers these days, and they have lost a lot of fanbase.

Sorry to be petty but i really couldn't stand the lower case letters :heehee:. Ah well... but it does Give Me Hell, which has made the top 50 :w00t: .

Sorry, will fix later. I have been doing this at work, and I haven't had much time, still there until 10:30...

 

As for The Fear, I presume that includes digital pre-orders.
