Posted June 18, 200916 yr Another Monday...a slightly different look in our weekly preview, into what will or won`t be hot on next Sunday. Mainly due to the loss of Peter Jay and John McManus...redundant after 30 years in the business. There they are in their late 40s, and having to find work. Not easy, at any age in the current climate. Our thoughts go to them, and anyone else in that bad predicament. This week, joining with the spectacular Mr Tom Kay...I`ve managed to join up 2 threads into 1. Keeping the preview going. Tom`s going to give us some videos, from our Monday Top 30 Singles Chart shortly. Where I`ve taken download info combined with new physical releases, based on pre-orders. Firstly though, let`s have a look at our Album Top 30 preview: 01 01 WEST RYDER LUNATIC ASYLUM - KASABIAN 02 02 SUNNY SIDE UP - PAOLO NUTINI 03 NE CLUBLAND 15 - VARIOUS 04 06 CHILLED II 91-08 - VARIOUS 05 NE MUSIC FOR MEN - GOSSIP 06 NE EVERYTHING IS NEW - JACK PENATE 07 07 LOVE AND WAR - DANIEL MERRIWEATHER 08 NE MINISTRY OF SOUND PRESENTS: SUMMER SESSIONS 09 03 E.N.D. - BLACK EYED PEAS 10 NE BLACK CLOUDS AND SILVER LININGS - DREAM THEATER 11 NE MUSIC OF MY LIFE - NEIL SEDAKA 12 04 LET IT ROLL - GEORGE HARRISON 13 22 GREATEST HITS - BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN 14 28 ONLY BY THE NIGHT - KOL 15 17 THE FAME - LADY GAGA 16 16 VERY BEST OF - JIM REEVES 17 30 CIRCUS - TAKE THAT 18 13 RELAPSE - EMINEM 19 RE IN A PERFECT WORLD - KERI HILSON 20 19 BIG TUNES: IT`S IGNITION - VARIOUS 21 NE FAR - REGINA SPEKTOR 22 35 SKA MANIA - VARIOUS 23 36 ESSENTIAL REGGAE - VARIOUS 24 23 INVADERS MUST DIE - PRODIGY 25 15 IT`S NOT YOU IT`S ME - LILY ALLEN 26 NE OCTAHEDRON - MARS VOLTA 27 NE FARM - DINOSAUR JNR 28 NE BACK FROM THE DEAD - SPINAL TAP 29 05 LINES VINES AND TRYING TIMES - JONAS BROTHERS 30 42 ESSENTIAL GARAGE COLLECTION - VARIOUS A good healthy album top 30 there. What a good thing the Fathers Day extortion is over! Bubbling under here are Soulja Boy (I Soulja Boy), Heartbreakers (Various), and Noisettes re-rise with "Wild Young Hearts". Last week, on the original Next Week`s Charts...Peter and John got 9 in the 10, 15 in the 20, 25 in the 30, and 34 in the 40 on the albums (where I also made a typo, and placed Blur at #2, actually P & J had them at #11)! In the singles they had 9 in the 10, 19 in the 20, 28 in the 30, 37 in the 40, and 46 in the 50. How will I do, practically alone, remains to be seen! Just before, we look at the Top 30 Singles Preview Chart (with Tom...who will do a great edit!), this is how the Radio Luxembourg Top 30 singles looked, back in June 1979: Introduced by Bob Stewart on Radio Luxembourg on Tues 26th June 1979 01 01 ARE FRIENDS ELECTRIC - TUBEWAY ARMY 02 02 THE LONE RANGER - QUANTUM JUMP 03 05 OLD SIAM SIR - WINGS 04 04 UP THE JUNCTION - SQUEEZE 05 08 LIVING ON THE FRONTLINE - EDDY GRANT 06 06 NIGHT OWL - GERRY RAFFERTY 07 07 LIGHT MY FIRE/137 DISCO HEAVEN - AMII STEWART 08 09 SILLY GAMES - JANET KAY 09 10 LADY LYNDA - BEACH BOYS 10 27 BORN TO BE ALIVE - PATRICK HERNANDEZ 11 18 CHUCK E`S IN LOVE - RICKIE LEE JONES 12 NE C`MON EVERYBODY - SEX PISTOLS 13 19 GERTCHA - CHAS N`DAVE 14 28 SUNBURN - GRAHAM GOULDMAN 15 13 GO WEST - VILLAGE PEOPLE 16 NE BABYLON`S BURNING - RUTS 17 03 RING MY BELL - ANITA WARD 18 17 DO ANYTHING YOU WANT TO - THIN LIZZY 19 14 DANCE AWAY - ROXY MUSIC 20 23 MAYBE - THOM PACE 21 25 SPACE BASS - SLICK 22 NE WANTED - DOOLEYS 23 NE ONE RULE FOR YOU - AFTER THE FIRE 24 NE LOVE IS THE ANSWER - ENGLAND DAN/JOHN FORD COLEY 25 NE BREAKFAST IN AMERICA - SUPERTRAMP 26 NE GOOD TIMES - CHIC 27 NE BABY LAY DOWN - RUBY WINTERS 28 20 SUNDAY GIRL - BLONDIE 29 15 WE ARE FAMILY - SISTER SLEDGE 30 NE MY SHARONA - THE KNACK 22 in the 30, for Radio Luxembourg in 1979. Slightly over profiling Wings` follow up to "Goodnight Tonight"...by 32 places! Quantum Jump were originally released 1n 1976, but flopped. During `79, Kenny Everett picked it up on his Capital Radio show...with those slightly dodgy lines. Disco everywhere, coming from the likes of Anita Ward, Janet Kay (reggae style), Amii Stewart (covering the Doors), Chic, Sister Sledge, Patrick Hernandez, Slick, and possible the Dooleys (with a slightly dancey piece). Graham Gouldman (out of 10cc), wrote and sung the theme to the film "Sunburn"...rather cheesey, and not even making the Official top 40. Thom Pace and "Maybe" was the theme to tv series "The Life And Times Of Grizzley Adams". As Chas N`Dave got their first top 20 hit, which originated in a advert for Courage Best Bitter..."Gertcha Cowson, Gertcha!" Let`s join up with Tom, for a look at our singles top 30. "What have you got for us today, Tom?" Cheers Dave! What a quick edit! :lol: Here are the singles, so far in our new "Fit 30". A handful of Bubbling Under songs, below the Top 30: 54 NE HOLD ON - LAZEE 50 SECOND CHANCE - SHINEDOWN 40 NE NEVER FORGET YOU - NOISETTES 36 51 15 MINUTES - YEAH YOUS 32 39 WORK - SATURDAYS The full Top 30: 30 24 WE MADE YOU - EMINEM 29 25 JAI HO - A R RAHMAN/PUSSYCAT DOLLS 28 19 NOT FAIR - LILY ALLEN 27 NE RAINDROPS - BASEMENT JAXX 26 23 WAKING UP IN VEGAS - KATY PERRY 25 34 THE SHOW - LENKA 24 21 NEW IN TOWN - LITTLE BOOTS 23 17 STONE COLD SOBER - PALOMA FAITH 22 22 WE ARE THE PEOPLE - EMPIRE OF THE SUN 21 27 NEW DIVIDE - LINKIN PARK 20 14 POKERFACE - LADY GAGA 19 16 FIRE - KASABIAN 18 15 IN FOR THE KILL - LA ROUX 17 20 HUSH HUSH - PUSSYCAT DOLLS 16 08 KISS ME THRU THE PHONE - SOULJA BOY 15 13 SAID IT ALL - TAKE THAT 14 NE RABBIT HEART (RAISE IT UP) - FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE 13 18 BATTLEFIELD - JORDIN SPARKS 12 11 NUMBER 1 - TINCHY STRYDER 11 09 UNTOUCHED - VERONICAS 10 12 HEARTBREAK MAKE ME A DANCER - FREEMASONS/SOPHIE ELLIS BEXTOR 09 07 BONKERS - DIZZEE/ARMAND 08 05 RED - DANIEL MERRIWEATHER 07 10 PAPARAZZI - LADY GAGA 06 06 KNOCK YOU DOWN - KERI AND CO. 05 03 RELEASE ME - AGNES 04 02 MAMA DO - PIXIE LOTT 03 04 BOOM BOOM POW - BLACK EYED PEAS 02 01 WHEN LOVE TAKE`S OVER - DAVID GUETTA/KELLY ROWLAND 01 NE BULLETPROOF - LA ROUX Add to that, here are 3 picks to click on next Monday: Cascada - Evacuate The Dancefloor (dead cert top 10, we think) Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Heads Will Roll (unlikely to make it, into the top 50) Dt0IlrQYOxM Vogue - Twilight (another unlikely candidate) 1--J-SHZ_fc Add to those, this collection: Not Me But You - Jacks Rusted From The Rain - Billy Talent Not The Only Person - Rumblestrips Her Diamonds - Rob Thomas All those released on 29th June. The top pre-order by far is definately JLS (Beat Again), already looking like a dead cert #1 on Sunday 19th July. Next a few of the movers and shakers in the top 30...They`re coming.
June 21, 200916 yr Here's some of the big newies from this week: Must start with the big one from La Roux, a song that almost topped a certain confusing Big Top 40 on Sunday! 01 NE BULLETPROOF - LA ROUX A top 10 physical this week, the 4th biggest pre-order, last week. 14 NE RABBIT HEART (RAISE IT UP) - FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE The downloads slightly let this lot down, already slipping from our ex-Fresh Hits Chart. 36 NE 15 MINUTES - YEAH YOUS Looking like a new #1 three weeks running :o Will it continue, what do you think Dave? I believe you have more pre-order news? :rolleyes:
June 22, 200916 yr Author Thank`s Tom. Well we already know about JLS. The physicals of Jordin, and the Saturdays hit HMV next Monday too. This time, it looks like the Saturdays may have troubles, and even miss the top 10. Will Jordin get the 10? Slipping from a top 10 place on iTunes towards the end of last week, hard to say. But those 2 are the top over all pre-orders for next Monday. I`ve got some more news to follow, too...
June 22, 200916 yr I really hope that "Bulletproof" doesn't outsell both "Hung Up" & "Toxic". :( It doesn't have the spark that those two classic tracks have.
June 22, 200916 yr Author I really hope that "Bulletproof" doesn't outsell both "Hung Up" & "Toxic". :( It doesn't have the spark that those two classic tracks have. Somebody said to me that Bulletproof is likely to stay at the top for 3 weeks. Is it possible?
June 22, 200916 yr Somebody said to me that Bulletproof is likely to stay at the top for 3 weeks. Is it possible? I think that will indeed happen, and JLS will then take over.
June 22, 200916 yr Can't see it with JLS and Cascada on the way, but I would way prefer it than either...
June 22, 200916 yr Author It is likely that JLS will hit the top on downloads alone on the 12th July. Cascada...it seem`s (as well as Tom), people think it could go all the way. Personally, I don`t think that Cascada will get a #1. The other news was that Chipmunk is storming up on pre-orders with "Diamond Rings". An outside chance on Monday 6th July.

Oh, JLS is out on download one week early? That means this'll probs happen: 1099 La Roux - Bulletproof 2wks 1100 JLS - Beat Again 2+wks I'd love Chippy to get a surprise #1, but it ain't gonna happen. Top 10 at best imo :(
June 22, 200916 yr Firstly I like to say a big thanks to Peter Jay and John McManus for their help into the collaboration of the charts week after week, hope they find suitable jobs soon, its not very nice to be unemployed. To be honest I never expected La Roux to be in with a shot of the #1 this week, after the overplay of In For The Kill I shall be eating humble pie next Sunday, if it comes to fruitation. For some reason I still prefer In For The Kill over Bulletproof anyday, maybe Quicksand would have been a lot better if they re-released it. And I'm going to stick my neck out and say JLS have no chance at the #1 shot, but I bet I end up eating humble pie again. One good thing about the track its original not some cheesy cover like most reality acts do for their debut hits.
June 22, 200916 yr Author The top pre-orders (that are not already available as downloads): 01 JLS - Beat Again 13th 02 Cascada - Evacuate The Dancefloor 29th 03 Jacks - Not Me But You 29th 04 Melanie Fiona - Give It To Me Right 13th 05 Vogue - Twilight 29th 06 Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Heads Will Roll 29th 07 Chipmunk - Diamond Rings 6th 08 Billy Talent - Rusted From The Rain 29th 09 Rumblestrips - Not The Only Person 29th 10 Rob Thomas - Her Diamonds 29th
June 22, 200916 yr Sophie is listed as #10 here, could she really potentially get top 10 this week? Don't get my hopes up. :cry:
June 22, 200916 yr Author Sophie is listed as #10 here, could she really potentially get top 10 this week? Don't get my hopes up. :cry: Could do, as she has a bigger physical seller than La Roux! The physical of "In For The Kill", did not do that well as I recall.
