20 34 PARADISE REMIXED - INNER CITY

 

It was a see-saw ride up and down for PHIL COLLINS returning to the number one spot, heading towards 2.5 million sales. Those VARIOUS ARTISTS kept DEEP HEAT up there. THE MISSION entered high, then fell abruptly the following week. ERIC CLAPTON was heading towards a number 2 album, and couldn`t stop Phil. Although the album was one of Eric`s biggest. TANITA TIKARAM better the predecessor "ANCIENT HEART", by one place getting to number 2. THE CHRISTIANS were quite happy, as they had knocked Phil off for a couple of weeks. FISH (out of MARILLION) had his first solo album. LISA STANSFIELD was up and down. EVERYTHING BUT THE GIRL were heading for the top ten (just). ROD STEWART was Mr Forever, as ever. CHRIS REA was on his 15th week, going down the M25! PURE SOFT METAL got ready for Valentine`s Day. Which in 1990 was on a Wednesday. Proving that the following week it would be back up for CHER, TINA TURNER, and LISA STANSFIELD. Meanwhile, outside the top 20 was the compilation "BODY AND SOUL-HEART AND SOUL II". On the following week this went from 30 - 16. As the Original Soundtrack from the London production of "MISS SAIGON" would crash into the top 10, with a lack of LLYOD WEBBER involvement...it must`ve been good! :teresa:

SINEAD sings PRINCE ruling the top in 1990 for a total of 5 weeks. BEATS INTERNATIONAL sings the SOS BAND not far away. LONNIE GORDON all over the airwaves but stuck at 3. SYBIL covering DIONNE WARWICK, THE STRANGLERS etc...What was good about the Stranglers version, then? Well it was a rather long record, abeit anything else! PHIL COLLINS was "raining", and actually topped the chart in one particular part of England. Aside these big hits...BLACK BOX were kind of being copied by the 49ERS. YELL could`ve only been a flash in the pan, covering (this time around) a 1978 DAN HARTMAN classic. Same could be said for AND WHY NOT...who disappeared rapidly. HALO JAMES may have thought they were on a good thing with a good hit, but then the title was "Could`ve Told You So". CHER was having problems with JESSE JAMES. Some well played minor hits by way of the BELOVED, HOUSE OF LOVE, QUINCY JONES, EURYTHMICS, GINO LATINO, and ERIC CLAPTON only nudged the top 20. With a hell of a lot other re-makes with KYLIE going down with a LITTLE ANTHONY 1950s cover, not to mention our old "Mr Potatohead" JIMMY SOMERVILLE covering 1978`s late SYLVESTER. So many other forgotten hits further down. When was the last time we heard those songs from WRECKS N`EFFECT, WEDDING PRESENT, RENEGADE SOUNDWAVE, CRAMPS, FAITH NO MORE, MARTIKA, CULTURE BEAT`s subtitled song (CHERRY LIPS), KYM MAZELLE, LLYOD COLE, ENERGY ORCHARD, JAMIE J.MORGAN (covering Lou Reed), BIRDLAND, and the ALARM...most of which were not even played much in 1990, apart from MARTIKA, and not forgetting PAUL MCCARTNEY`s number 29 high, with "PUT IT THERE". Even Radio 2 played that in their Bryant "I Love The 40s" Marriott days.

Thanks Dave!

 

Only just come online, it's cool to see this :) Surprised how far Killers - Spaceman is from the top 40, but glad to see Saint Etienne hang in there :)

Anytime Tom. Nice to see St Etienne get the number 11 physical single, as well. You will be pleased to know.

I am. There are times I wish the physical chart was still the official one...

So it look like Spaceman will do Snow Patrols CTS. Being 2nd release from album and just missing the top 40 but stick around for a while :(

 

Plus it looks like Martin was right about MCR too :(

Edited February 13, 200916 yr by Rock N Rolla

Shame. They could climb over the weekend, but I don't think they are really the kind of songs that do :(

UB40's album looks very low on there, when its top 5 in today's mids.

 

As for the singles, I'm surprised with the Prodigy top 10, I didn't think they would get that high, and Saint Etienne, its virtually hanging in by a thread.

 

Killers and MCR were always looking a bit of a miss for me. Killers might push Saint Etienne out by Sunday.

UB40's album looks very low on there, when its top 5 in today's mids.

 

If I remember right, the albums are based on Wednesday's mids. Not sure why though. Dave?

Wednesday lunchtime to be exact. That`s because Chart Show tv break off on Weds too, and I don`t think it`s worth updating it for a Friday Afternoon. On the whole the slap bang in the middle of the week albums, is better placed. Believe me! :lol: For instance all that nonsensical Valentine`s Day stuff will be well over by next Wednesday.

That's true. The album's chart is manipulated this week almost as much as the Singles was at Christmas...

By the way Tom, and everyone...don`t forget to check out the updated list of physical number ones from August 2008 - February 2009, in the reference library section.

Ooh, will do! I don't go in there as often as I should...

Hi on my mobile in a bar overlooking the canalways in Manchester so gotta be brief. Cheers intresting stuff! Hope Prodigy are a bit higher on Sunday.

Atleast Morrissey has another physical #1 and I hope he stays top 20 & S.E. top 40! :dance:
