Time for the Flashback...to September 1972. Maybe on the old side, but in 1972...we headed to the very last edition of the original"Pick Of The Pops" with Alan Freeman.

The Top Albums in Sept 1972: 01 01 NEVER A DULL MOMENT - ROD STEWART 02 02 GREATEST HITS - SIMON AND GARFUNKEL 03 05 THE SLIDER - T.REX 04 04 TWENTY FANTASTIC HITS - VARIOUS 05 03 SCHOOL`S OUT - ALICE COOPER 06 06 SLADE ALIVE - SLADE 07 11 ROXY MUSIC - ROXY MUSIC 08 07 MOODS - NEIL DIAMOND 09 09 RISE AND FALL OF ZIGGY STARDUST - DAVID BOWIE 10 10 BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER - SIMON AND GARFUNKEL 11 20 CHERISH - DAVID CASSIDY 12 12 20 DYNAMIC HITS - VARIOUS 13 08 AMERICAN PIE - DON MCLEAN 14 14 LOVE THEME FROM THE GODFATHER - ANDY WILLIAMS 15 15 BREADWINNERS - JACK JONES 16 13 TRILOGY - EMERSON LAKE AND PALMER 17 23 HONKY CHATEAU - ELTON JOHN 18 16 IN SEARCH OF SPACE - HAWKWIND 19 21 FOG ON THE TYNE - LINDISFARNE 20 NE CLOSE TO THE EDGE - YES Rod Stewart with 2 LPs in the chart, he also had "Every Picture Tells A Story". "Never A Dull A Moment", featured the lesser heard "Angel" single. These days (as the single was a Double A side), they all play "What Made Milwaukee Famous", but that one was never played in 1972. It was always "Angel". Not ashamed to say, I still own 20 Fantastic Hits (the Arcade comp), and 20 Dynamic Hits (the K-Tel comp). Very scratched, but featuring the likes of Johnny Nash "Stir It Up", and "Summer Breeze"...the original by Seals & Croft. Jack Jones not getting a Single hit in the UK...Everyone remembers the Christmas classic "Do You Hear What I Here", but it was the Bing Crosby version of that very song that sold more over here in December 1963. Both Yes, and Emerson Lake And Palmer were album bands. 5 years later both had top 10 singles.

Why don`t TV repeat the show? 27 NE WIG WAM BAM - THE SWEET...Brian Connolly and Mick Tucker no longer with us. Andy Scott, and Steve Priest both now running separate groups called Sweet 28 16 SEASIDE SHUFFLE - TERRY DACTYL AND THE DINOSAURS...Actually Jona Lewie of those 2 eighties hits 29 18 10538 OVERTURE - ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA...Jeff Lynn, along with Roy Wood at this point (he didn`t hang around though)! 30 NE WHO WAS IT - HURRICANE SMITH...Norman Smith producer extrovert, even involved with the Beatles.

Never was a fan, myself. A case of being in the right place at the right time, me thinks! :teresa: Robbie will top the pre-orders on albums, next week. Though, he says he will never do a live concert again, because of stagefright. There we were at the Leeds Festival last week, and that poor girl got her head stuck down the loo. She was down there, for 20 minutes after she dropped her handbag and mobile. She became the laughing stock of the week, after her "mates", put it all over Facebook...Time to change friends, love! ;) Remember, never flush a dead parrot down the loo, because they breed in the sewers, you know! :lol: Someone was on about the pre-orders for JLS...Well I haven`t yet got any info, on the pre-orders for the album. The new single will be released on 2nd Nov, and the album on the 9th Nov. It will probably show up next week. Slightly different outlook today, because I need to rush. Here was how Hit40uk (The Top 20), looked on the music channels: 20 14 EVACUATE THE DANCEFLOOR - CASCADA 19 17 DAY I DIED - JUST JACK 18 16 BIRTHDAY SEX - JEREMIH 17 15 WHEN LOVE TAKES OVER - GUETTA/ROWLAND 16 13 I KNOW YOU WANT ME - PITBULL 15 23 22 - LILY ALLEN 14 25 LOVE GAME - LADY GAGA 13 10 GET SHAKY - IAN CAREY 12 12 FIRE BURNING - SEAN KINGSTON 11 11 BEAT AGAIN - JLS 10 NE THAT GOLDEN RULE - BIFFY CLYRO 09 08 SUPERNOVA - MR HUDSON 08 07 OUTTA HERE - ESMEE DENTERS 07 05 SWEET DREAMS - BEYONCE 06 06 REMEDY - LITTLE BOOTS 05 03 NEVER LEAVE YOU - TINCHY AND AMELLE 04 04 READY FOR THE WEEKEND - CALVIN HARRIS 03 02 I GOTTA FEELING - BLACK EYED PEAS 02 01 SEXY CHICK - DAVID GUETTA/AKON 01 NE HOLIDAY - DIZZEE RASCAL The Top Physicals w/k ending Friday 4th Sept 09: 20 NE CHILLIN` - WALE 19 10 I KNOW YOU WANT ME - PITBULL 18 08 22 - LILY ALLEN 17 09 FIRE BURNING - SEAN KINGSTON 16 12 GET SHAKY - IAN CAREY 15 13 REMEDY - LITTLE BOOTS 14 11 READY FOR THE WEEKEND - CALVIN HARRIS 13 05 THAT GOLDEN RULE - BIFFY CLYRO 12 06 OUTTA HERE - ESMEE DENTERS 11 04 NEVER LEAVE YOU - TINCHY AND AMELLE 10 NE CHEAT ON ME - CRIBS 09 NE CHAKA DEMUS - JAMIE T 08 07 JUMP - FLO RIDA 07 03 SWEET DREAMS - BEYONCE 06 NE SAY IT - BOOTY LUV 05 01 I GOTTA FEELING - BLACK EYED PEAS 04 02 BEAT AGAIN - JLS 03 NE TAKE ME TO THE HOSPITAL - PRODIGY 02 NE HOLIDAY - DIZZEE RASCAL 01 NE GET SEXY - SUGABABES Wouldn`t it be great to see 6 new entries in the top 10, again?! :lol: The full week on iTunes: 20 14 22 - LILY ALLEN 19 23 HEARTBEAT - NNEKA 18 12 GET SHAKY - IAN CAREY 17 13 BEAT AGAIN - JLS 16 15 DAY I DIED - JUST JACK 15 NE SAY IT - BOOTY LUV 14 09 SUPERNOVA - MR HUDSON 13 10 FIRE BURNING - SEAN KINGSTON 12 05 READY FOR THE WEEKEND - CALVIN HARRIS 11 NE CHILLIN` - WALE 10 08 SWEET DREAMS - BEYONCE 09 07 OUTTA HERE - ESMEE DENTERS 08 06 NEVER LEAVE YOU - TINCHY AND AMELLE 07 04 REMEDY - LITTLE BOOTS 06 32 SEX ON FIRE - KOL 05 03 I GOTTA FEELING - BLACK EYED PEAS 04 01 HOLIDAY - DIZZEE RASCAL 03 02 SEXY CHICK - DAVID GUETTA/AKON 02 NE GET SEXY - SUGABABES 01 NE RUN THIS TOWN - JAY Z/RIHANNA/KANYE WEST To see how all that compares to the full combined physicals & downloads, hang on....
September 4, 200915 yr Thanks Dave 20 23 TOO BUSY THINKING ABOUT MY BABY - MARDI GRAS...A cover for Shrove Tuesday! You may probably never hear this version ever I've got it on a K-Tel comp :kink: They were a French group, and competed at the same time with a cover by perrenial 60s-70s no-hoper Gene Latter, and the sales ended up being split, so neither version was big... Madonna preorder higher than Cliff. :o But Porcupine Tree above both :wacko:
September 4, 200915 yr Cribs #3 on physicals :o its not even in the official top 40 chart, that can't be right, unless physicals are very low.
September 4, 200915 yr Madonna and mika doing well on pre orders. Not good for mini viva though. I think they might only scrape top ten.
September 4, 200915 yr But Porcupine Tree above both :wacko: I was referring to singles, but a good point there. :o Cribs #3 on physicals :o its not even in the official top 40 chart, that can't be right, unless physicals are very low. How can The Prodigy be today's mids #36 if it is #10 physical + top 110 and top 200 on iTunes, yet The Cribs are #3 physical and nowhere? Baffling.
September 4, 200915 yr How can The Prodigy be today's mids #36 if it is #10 physical + top 110 and top 200 on iTunes, yet The Cribs are #3 physical and nowhere? Baffling. And Booty Luv, something does not add up, :blink: :unsure: And Cribs is above them both
September 4, 200915 yr WOW Prodigy only number 10 on physicals, outside the top 100 on iTunes but still top 40 combined. This must be a miracle (or some kind of extra sales from their website maybe? :unsure:)
September 4, 200915 yr Madonna and mika doing well on pre orders. Not good for mini viva though. I think they might only scrape top ten. IMHO that'd be OK, the Saturdays started out by peaking at #8. If they could do that, then given a year they could be the second (third?) biggest girl group in the country...)
September 4, 200915 yr Author Well B-rye so rightly points out the fact that Madonna is ahead of Cliff on the single pre-orders. Meaning the glamorous granny vs the grandaddy...both will fight for a top 5 place, on Sunday 20th Sept. Meantime, here comes the big song finish. As we take the top selling downloads and combine them with the top selling physicals. 60 NE ONE NIGHT ONLY - DEENA JONES/JENNIFER HUDSON =45 59 61 UNTOUCHED - VERONICAS =58 58 56 ENERGY - KERI HILSON =63 57 55 DON`T TRUST ME - 3OH!3 46) =57 56 60 I`M YOURS - JASON MRAZ 45) 55 49 YOU BELONG WITH ME - TAYLOR SWIFT =55 54 43 DIAMOND RINGS - CHIPMUNK 44) =54 53 50 RELEASE ME - AGNES 43) =52 52 34 I`M NOT ALONE - CALVIN HARRIS 42) =51 51 54 HOTEL ROOM SERVICE - PITBULL =53 50 42 NUMBER ONE - TINCHY STRYDER/N-DUBZ 41) =50 49 45 RABBIT HEART - FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE 40) =47 48 41 POKERFACE - LADY GAGA 39) =49 47 NE GOLD DIGGER - DOLLY ROCKERS 38) =59 46 38 IN FOR THE KILL - LA ROUX 37) =48 45 30 POPPIHOLLA - CHICANE 36) =43 44 24 BEHIND CLOSED DOORS - PETER ANDRE =42 43 40 KNOCK YOU DOWN - HILSON/WEST/NE-YO 35) =45 42 33 ONE MORE CHANCE - BLOC PARTY 34) =40 41 36 BATTLEFIELD - JORDIN SPARKS 33) =39 40 39 MAMA DO - PIXIE LOTT 32) =41 39 32 REMEMBER ME - T.I./MARY J BLIGE 31) =35 38 NE TAKE ME TO THE HOSPITAL - PRODIGY 30) =38 37 28 SWEET DISPOSITION - TEMPER TRAP 29) =44 36 31 BONKERS - DIZZEE RASCAL/ARMAND VAN HELDON 28) =37 35 29 NEVER FORGET YOU - NOISETTES =36 34 64 USE SOMEBODY - KOL 27) =34 33 26 RED - DANIEL MERRIWEATHER 26) =32 32 25 BOOM BOOM POW - BLACK EYED PEAS 25) =31 31 21 JUMP - FLO RIDA/NELLY FURTADO 24) =29 30 27 LOVE GAME - LADY GAGA =30 29 22 WHEN LOVE TAKES OVER - DAVID GUETTA/KELLY ROWLAND 23) =28 28 NE KISS OF LIFE - FRIENDLY FIRES =33 27 20 EVACUATE THE DANCEFLOOR - CASCADA 22) =26 26 18 PAPARAZZI - LADY GAGA 21) =23 25 17 BIRTHDAY S** - JEREMIH 20) =25 24 19 BULLETPROOF - LA ROUX 19) =24 23 10 THAT GOLDEN RULE - BIFFY CLYRO 18) =22 22 NE CHAKA DEMUS - JAMIE T 17) =27 21 16 I KNOW YOU WANT ME - PITBULL 16) =21 20 23 HEARTBEAT - NNEKA =20 19 15 22 - LILY ALLEN 15) =18 18 13 BEAT AGAIN - JLS 14) =15 17 11 GET SHAKY - IAN CAREY PROJECT 13) =17 16 NE SAY IT - BOOTY LUV 12) =16 15 15 THE DAY I DIED - JUST JACK =19 14 09 SUPERNOVA - MR HUDSON =14 13 12 FIRE BURNING - SEAN KINGSTON 11) =13 12 04 READY FOR THE WEEKEND - CALVIN HARRIS 10) =11 11 NE CHILLIN` - WALE 9) =12 10 08 OUTTA HERE - ESMEE DENTERS 8) =10 09 07 SWEET DREAMS - BEYONCE 7) =9 08 05 NEVER LEAVE YOU - TINCHY STRYDER/AMELLE 6) =8 07 06 REMEDY - LITTLE BOOTS 5) =7 06 51 SEX ON FIRE - KOL 4) =6 05 03 I GOTTA FEELING - BLACK EYED PEAS 3) =5 04 01 HOLIDAY - DIZZEE RASCAL 2) =3 03 02 SEXY CHICK - DAVID GUETTA/AKON =4 02 NE GET SEXY - SUGABABES 1) =1 01 NE RUN THIS TOWN - JAY Z/RIHANNA/KANYE WEST =2 ) Position without downloads alone = Position on Chart Show TV The holiday season is over for the Rascal, as the Yanks nick the top spot...Sugababes held on, until Wednesday Lunchtime. Jay Z (That`s Zed, if you`re British)! He takes 60k, as the Babes take 54.5k. Guetta heads in on 48k. Outside the Top 60, we find Kasabian ready to re-enter with "Fire". Lily is still there with "Not Fair", down for Luther, Pussycat Dolls are at 64, Hockey at 65, Sean Paul, Arctic Monkeys, Beyonce (Halo), Eminem, and Frank Turner round off the top 70. NOTE: These are not Official Charts (that means they are not recognised by the industry). They based on Chart Show tv, but with addesd sales to make them the most up to date charts in Britain at this point.
September 4, 200915 yr Author WOW Prodigy only number 10 on physicals, outside the top 100 on iTunes but still top 40 combined.

September 4, 200915 yr Dave = A Beatle hater. :o I'm shocked. The Beatles changed music in just over 7 years recording together (Love Me Do June 6th 1962 to I Want You (She's So Heavy) Aug 20th 1969), so that up until the late 1980s Stock Aitken & Waterman era Pop Acts were largely responsible for creating their own music, when beforehand they were merely puppets of svengalis recording other people's material. "Before The Beatles there was nothing" Paul Weller (© NME 1979) This is why I hated Stock Aitken & Waterman & I hate Simon Cowell; Louis Walsh & whatever $h!t comes out of UK's X-Factor with a passion, because music should be about art & creativity and not formulaic lowest common denominator record sales.
September 4, 200915 yr Thanks Dave :) Sucks for Dolly Rockers :snif: Tbh those KOL songs really don't need to be back in the chart, but at least Little Boots is kinda holding her own...
September 4, 200915 yr tbh I can't stand many Beatles songs. They were just there when no one else was tbh. Rolling Stones however are amazing.

I was too much of a BBC boy, back then! Strange enough, as the BBC were backward with music in the 60s...Both the Beatles and Rolling Stones early hits were never even featured on the new release spots on "Pick Of The Pops!" As Derek Chinnery produced the show, back then. I was very much built on the easy listening side of things...heading out of the Light Programme, and the original sound of Radio 2. Though things would have been very different without the Fab Four. Saying that though, during those "Flower Power" heady days of the 60s, the biggest sellers of 1967...all came from easy listening artists, and the likes of Englebert Humperdinck/Frankie Vaughan/Tom Jones. So, I do think we would have got through the decade somehow. I mean the Beatles practically smashed the careers of Joe Brown/Marty Wilde/Lonnie Donegan to bits...but the Cliff kept going. The Beatles took Britain to America though, and gave them the the whole top 5 in the States in a week in 1964. Coincidently on the 14th March 1964, the whole of the UK Top Ten was made up, of entire British artists. It was only Gene Pitney, that kept that feat away from the top 15. The Beatles...You either love them, or loathe them. The plus side to not having the Beatles would mean no Cilla Black! :yahoo:
September 4, 200915 yr tbh I can't stand many Beatles songs. They were just there when no one else was tbh. Rolling Stones however are amazing. :o No one else was doing what The Beatles did before they did it. That is why they are rightly regarded as the most important act in musical history whether you like them or not. 1.1 Billion sales for just over 7 years recording together and just over 9 hours worth of recorded music is nothing short of phenomenal. Too many Brits today completely fail to realise that without the Beatles, British music would be nowhere near as important as it is regarded today, as from 1940 - 1963 the total number of British number ones in America: 3; yet the Beatles had between 1964 - 1970 20 US #1 hit singles. That is why today the world takes an interest in the next big thing to come from the UK music scene. All The Beatles singles were original Lennon/McCartney compositions (with the one exception of the other half of Come Together - George Harrison's Something). As for The Rolling Stones their first five singles were covers (Chuck Berry's Come On; Lennon/McCartney's :lol: I Wanna Be Your Man; Buddy Holly & The Crickets' Not Fade Away; Bobby Womack's It's All Over Now & Willie Dixon's Little Red Rooster); their first single written by Jagger & Richards was "The Last Time" early in 1965; by which time The Beatles had already scored 6 UK#1s. The Rolling Stones were a fantastic band; but their last great album was 1972's Exile On Main Street; and their last very good album was 1978's Some Girls. Nowadays they are reminder of what U2 will be in 10 years time. Sure, a great live act who can put some new rock acts to shame with a fantastic back catalogue; but their glory days are a long long way behind them.
September 4, 200915 yr Wow, selling 80k for the first week and then falling to #4... :) Dizzee hasn't got great staying power for the second time: Bonkers fell down pretty quickly for its first week's sales too.

I do hope that you do include "Please Please Me" in the #1 frame...because without any doubt it was #1 for 3 weeks in 1963, and like the BBC Chart says, it kept Frank Ifield from the hat trick. Unfortunately for Rolling Stones fans...the first #1 was actually "The Last Time", because the BBC says "It`s All Over Now", and "Little Red Rooster" were kept from the top, by you know who! Tell you what...Let`s run a game here. The first person that guesses what the highest charting re-mastered Beatles Album will be...
