Well done to Vera Lynn. The album chart is so good, even stupid ageist Radio/TV can not influence it.

Outside our top 30 Combined Albums, we have other entries from Neil Diamond (Hot August Night), Q Anthems - VA, Chilled Euphoria, down for Chilled R + B Vol 2, Mew (No More Stories), Willie Nelson (American Classic), Chilled Euphoria - VA, down for Bad (MJ), 90 Club Hits From The 90s, and Brendan Benson (My Old Familiar Friend).

 

Last week we had 9 in the ten, 18 in the 20, and 28 in the 30 on the album front. While on the singles front we had 9 in the top 10, 19 in the 20, 27 in the 30, 37 in the 40, 45 in the 50, and 55 in the 60.

14 20 NICE AND SLOW - JESSE GREEN...The first dance type it for Jesse. The 2nd came later "Flip".

15 29 I CAN`T ASK FOR ANYTHING MORE THAN YOU - CLIFF RICHARD...For me, Cliff`s best of the 70s, and hardly ever heard

20 27 DANCE LITTLE LADY DANCE - TINA CHARLES...A 2nd solo hit for Tina. She had sung on 5000 Volts first hit "I`m On Fire"

21 NE ARIA - MR ACKER BILK/HIS CLARINET AND STRINGS...A return to the charts for Acker. His biggest hit in 13 years

22 23 JAILBREAK - THIN LIZZY...Couldn`t quite follow "The Boys Are Back In Town"

23 NE MAKE YOURS A HAPPY HOME - GLADYS KNIGHT AND THE PIPS...Missing the Radio One Top 30

30 NE SHANNON - HENRY GROSS...A big U.S. hit, but not so here in Britain

 

23 in the 30 for Radio Luxembourg...A bit of a mistake though, because they missed out last week`s #7. That was Elton John & Kiki Dee`s "Don`t Go Breaking My Heart". It was going down, but on the following week it miraculously re-appeared in the top 15!

 

Ahead of this week`s Singles preview, here are 3 more "Pops To Flop"

The first one from Team Waterpolo "Letting Go"...All over XFM, the band from Preston, Lancashire. Released today:

 

How about You Me At Six "Kiss And Tell"...Over to Weybridge, Surrey for the band that formed in 2004. Released on 7th Sept:

Taio Cruz "Break Your Heart"...Another hit for Taio released on 14th Sept:

 

Jamie T "Chaka Demus"...Has Jamie lost the Pliers?! Released 31st Aug:

Thanks Dave

 

I really hope Gaga can go top 30 by Sunday.

[biffy Clyro are a band btw, not a 'he']

 

Really hope they can make the top 10 at least by Sunday! :wub:

Thanks as always, Dave.

Dave, 'Dance Little Lady Dance' was Tina Charles 3rd Solo Hit of 1976, not her 2nd.

After 'I Love To Love', she had a No.31 hit with 'Love Me Like A Lover'. I haven't a clue

if it Charted in the Radio Luxembourg Chart. (In a Magazine Interview, a few Years back,

Tina claimed that 'I Love To Love' sold 29 Million copies Globally! LOL! It wasn't even a

USA Hit, & I doubt if it even sold 4 Million copies).

Thanks for posting Dave, bit slim on new releases this week.

Yeah, slightly dull this week tbh. But next week should be more exciting :)

Why is In For The Kill still top 40? How come? It is not even top 40 anymore for days on iTunes. :unsure:

Physicals and multiple versions I guess :unsure:

Biffy are top 10 in mids, hopefully they will stay and not fulfill the prophecy here.

 

Jamie T for top 10 with Chaka Demus please. :o
