Gotye feat. Kimbra
It has been to No.1 in Germany, (still there at present), Australia, New Zealand, Belgium, & The Netherlands. It is currently in its 22nd Top 10 Week there. (In The Netherlands). It has spent 20 of them in the Top 5 - 4 at No.1, & 10 at No.2. It is at No.5 there now. It is on its way to No.1 in Austria - a No.46 to No.3 leap - in its 2nd Chart Week. I love it. However - don't you think that the Intro reminds you of the Childrens' Nursery Rhyme, 'Baa Baa Black Sheep'? Gotye is a Belgian/Australian. The Female - Kimbra - is from New Zealand.

007 Chart Commentary - 8th Jan 2012

Gotye feat. Kimbra
A fantastic Single. It just has to be a UK & Irish Hit. It depends on Air Play, I guess. We will see. I think that Gotye sounds like Sting.

iTunes Chart: December 2011 (Part III)
Regarding ABBA's 'Happy New Year' - it never, ever does as well in the UK iTunes Chart, as it does elsewhere. Here is how it was doing earlier today, in various European iTunes Charts:, (Courtesy of Benny at UKMIX). "Happy New Year" is now at number one on iTunes in Sweden and Norway, top 10 in the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Estonia and Denmark, top 20 in Finland, Latvia and Lithuania and top 60 in Hungary, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Austria and Germany." ABBA were going to release it as a Single, in December 1980, but changed their minds. That was a pity, as they'd have ended up with 2 simultaneous Top 10 Hits, in the UK & Irish Charts - as well as in Germany, Austria, The Netherlands, Norway, etc. (With the 'Super Trouper' Single). I think it would do a lot better in the January UK iTunes Charts, had it been a Single, in 1980. Many people in the UK are not aware that the Song exists. It actually reaches the Singles Chart Top 10, (via Downloads), in some European Countries - some Year's, anyhow. Sweden - No.4 in 2008, No.5 in 2009, & No.9 in 2010. Norway - No.5 in 2009. And, last January, it jumped from No.47 to No.8, in The Netherlands - their 24th Top 10 Hit there. (It is currently No.70 in The Netherlands Top 100).

What are you buying in the HMV sale this week?
The stuff in HMV is massively over-priced. It is better to sell a lot of something at a competative price, than far less of something at an extortionate price. Sadly, that simple idea has by-passed HMV. As far as I'm concerned, if it folds, (eventually), it is its own fault - for selling things at such rip off prices. I have a brother, who will not use Amazon.uk. Instead, he thinks it is cool to go in HMV, to shop. In early December, he bought a Box Set of the 1970's TV Series, 'Department S'. HMV charged him £70 for it. At the same time, he could have got it from Amazon.uk, for £36! He bought an £8 Horror DVD, at the same time. Amazon.uk were selling it for £4! In both cases, Postage Free. So - my brother paid £78, at HMV, for 2 items, that he could have got for £40 at Amazon.uk. HMV are their own worst enemies, as most people are not as stupid, as my brother!

All UK No.1 Singles (Various Charts) - On One Site
I don't know if it is on Wikipedia. Anyhow, not everyone knows every Wikipedia Chart Page. Personally, I think Wikipedia is a joke. I use it as a rough guide - but, rarely as a reliable source.

All UK No.1 Singles (Various Charts) - On One Site
Guys, an Italian fellow, who calls himself Me, (?!), has Posted every No.1 Single , (from the various UK Charts), on his Website. You have to scroll across the page, to see all of the No.1's. They include the NME, & Melody Maker No.1's. The Decades take a little while to load, but, they do so after a very short time. He's even Posted the Sheet Music No.1's - from as far back as December 1939. LINK:, http://www.it-charts.it/uk-charts.htm NOTE - He says if you spot any mistakes, can you let him know. I spotted that he's put the word 'I' in front of How Do You Do It?, (1963), & 'World Without Love', (1964), in the MM No.1's. He's also got the letters mixed up, in the Being part, of Smokey Robinson's No.1, in 1981. (Again in the MM Lists).

Rihanna's Record-Breaking Year: A new female record?
Shouldn't Rihanna get the 18 Weeks from this Single too? All Of The Lights - Kanye West & Various Artists. Rihanna was the only one of the Featured Artists to be credited. "All of the Lights" is a song by American hip hop recording artist Kanye West, released January 18, 2011, as the fourth single from his fifth studio album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (2010). It was produced by West and features additional vocals from several other recording artists, including John Legend, The-Dream, Elly Jackson, Alicia Keys, Fergie, Kid Cudi, Elton John, and Rihanna, who is solely credited as a featured artist on the single. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_of_the_Lights Its Chart Run:, 46-46-66-32-19-17-15-15-19-21-29-39-41-47-58-63-59-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-65 = 18 Weeks

Top 65 best selling Xmas hits ever!!
The OCC worked on the List in September. Well, one of their Staff did so. As with all such Lists he, (& maybe others), made the final decision as to what was to go in it. (Channel 5 have definitely excluded some Hits, that were in The OCC List - on the grounds that the Chart contained more than one version of those Songs). 1) It is not meant to be a Christmas Themed Songs List. It is meant to reflect the Singles that sold the most over the Christmas period, in the UK. 2) I saw the initial List, & it did have Band Aid 20 in it - with 1,154,821 Sales. It also had Band Aid II in it - 425,908 sales. 3) Halleujah, by Alexandra Burke, was in the initial List - 1,222,079 Sales. 4) In the List that I saw, White Christmas, by Bing Crosby, was in 4th place, with 1,461,843 Sales. The Total in the List has had almost 472,000 of those Sales removed. 5) Harry Belafonte's Mary's Boy Child, was in too - 1,182,621 Sales. 6) It even had Killing In The Name, by Rage Against The Machine, in it - 713,240 Sales. 7) As far as I know, they did include 1981 Sales for the St Winifred's School Choir, Hit. It was only the 20th Best Seller of 1980 - in the Year End Chart that included the entire Year. Super Trouper, by ABBA, was 4th, & I believe that sold 709,000 in 1980. The ABBA Hit then sold only 31,000 more in 1981, even though it did this, in January 1981:, 5 - 8 - 28 - 48 - 71. That's because Sales were very low in January 1981. The St. Winifred's School Choir Hit, can't have sold much more than the ABBA Hit, in January 1981. It did this - 1 - 6 - 22 - 58 - 70. Maybe 45,000 to 55,000 Sales? 8) As regards the other 2 Band Aid Hits, & Harry Belafonte, not being in the List - it looks like a Channel 5 decision, to me. They obviously did not want to show the same Song, more than once. So, they chose to show/include only the versions that are the most well known. That's the Boney M, Mary's Boy Child, & the original Band Aid's, Do They Know It's Christmas?, from 1984. (In other words, it is not The OCC's decision, that the other versions were excluded from the Channel 5 Chart). So, The OCC were not ignoring those Hits - Channel 5 were. 9) Stay Another Day, got 768,444 Sales, in the List, I saw. Rounded up to 770,000. The OCC clearly have 2 'Sets' of 1994 - 1996 Sales, in their Files, & the Guy who did the Chart looked at the lower Totals for the East 17 Hit. (I know him, so I will ask him about it, in January). 10) I was not aware that MW's Alan Jones had declared Fairytale Of New York a UK Million Seller. I do know that The OCC added up its Annual Totals for 1987/1988, (No.2 Hit), & 1991/1992, (No.36 Hit), & then they added in Downloads from 2004 to 2010. This gave a Total of 815,000 - not including its December 2011 Sales, of course. I don't think that Fairytale Of New York has sold a Million. It would have had to suddenly gain 180,000 Sales, that it never had before. Unless it is supposed to have got them in December 2011.....

Sunday Chart Predictions
Martin, The OCC told me, (this morning), that they only ever get Data sent to them on Tuesday's, Wednesday's, Thursday's, & Friday's. With the end of Week Charts sent in on a Sunday morning. There won't be a Christmas Eve/Saturday up-date. The Christmas No.1, (Military Wives, of course), will be announced at 3pm on Christmas Day/Sunday.

It matters not how little a percentage Amazon have of the Download Market. The Military Wives Single will sell hugely on CD, anyhow. (Many people plan to buy it as gifts for Friends & Family).

Christmas no1 single odds
For those who doubt that Military Wives will be No.1 on Christmas Day:, Read this:, http://tinyurl.com/brtk6b8 It has been obvious for around 2 Weeks. Their Single was No.1 in the Amazon Top 100 - on Pre-Orders alone. It is still in the Top 3. The little Mix Single is just inside the Top 40 of that Top 100. How much more evidence do doubters need?

Predict : Little Mix- Cannonball 1st week sales
It may sell 300,000 to 400,000. But, what does it matter? It is awful. Matt Cardle sold over 400,000 in Week 1, & he is already finding it hard to remain very popular. The trouble with The X Factor is that it throws up so many temporary 'Stars'. Even Leona Lewis has lost much popularity on an International scale, & JLS are already selling less than they used to - in the UK. They don't mean a thing outside the UK & Ireland.....
-
iTunes Chart: December 2011 (I)
The Little Mix cover is awful. But, I hope they enjoy their Week at No.1 with it. It almost certainly will not be the Christmas No.1. That will be the No.1 Single in the Chart of Sunday 25th December. As to Matt Cardle's 1st Week Sales, in 2010 - what does it matter? He's already in decline. Oh - And people who think the Little Mix Single is awful, are just as entitled to think that as those who think it is terrific. If they want to be a Global success they'll have to do better than that!

Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit for Xmas #1?
The Military Wives Single is now the No.1 Best Selling Music 'Item' on Amazon.uk. It is outselling every Album on that Site. Never before have I seen a Single at No.1 in the Amazon Top 100. One that has got there on Pre-Orders, too. I think it is overly sentimental, but it looks like it will stroll to No.1 on Sunday 25th December - based on its Sales from Monday 19th to Saturday 24th. By the looks of things the Nirvana - and Wombles - Campaigns have no chance to have the No.1 Single on Christmas Day. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/bestsellers/music/ref=sv_m_h__3 It does not matter how many people dislike it. It is the people who do like it - and who will buy it - who will very likely get it to No.1 on Christmas Day.

Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit for Xmas #1?
THE CHRISTMAS NUMBER 1? This, (released on December 19th), Single could well be the Christmas No.1. 'Wherever You Are' - Military Wives with Gareth Malone. I cannot make my mind up, if I like it or not. I hate War, but, it is not glorifying War, it is telling Soldiers that they are missed & loved, & I see nothing wrong in that. It is the style/sound of it that I cannot get into. It is a bit too 'wet' for my taste. It makes Westlife sound like the Sex Pistols! Already, it is showing signs of being a huge Christmas Hit. It has made a massive Percentage gain, (in Pre-Sales), on the Amazon.uk Movers & Shakers List - which shows which Singles & Albums have risen the most in Sales, in the past 24 Hours. It has risen by 4200% - to be the 2nd Biggest Music Seller on Amazon! I've never seen a Single as high as No.2 in their Music Top 100 before - it is usually almost totally dominated by Albums:, MOVERS & SHAKERS:, http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/movers-and-shakers/music THE AMAZON TOP 100 - MUSIC BEST SELLERS It has jumped from No.86 to No.2! http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/bestsellers/mus...0325242-6559966 We will see what happens in the Christmas Day Chart - the plan is, (obviously), to try to get it to No.1 on Sunday 25th December, for Sales from Monday 19th to Saturday 24th.

'X-Factor' winner set to cover Damien Rice's 'Cannonball'?
'That's My Goal' was not a 'New' Song. It was just new to the Charts. It was a 2003 Westlife reject. Even they didn't want it. Let's face it - had 'That's My Goal' not been by the 'X Factor' Winner, Shayne Ward would have had a job to get it into the Top 40. It is weak as water. From December 2005:, "Sony BMG admitted to "Music Week" this week that "That's My Goal" has been hanging aroung the Sony/BMG offices for a while; "It's a song we've had for quite a while and it's a great pop song that stands up on its own merits," says Sony BMG imprint Syco's vice president Sonny Takhar, who is confident the record can make it to the top spot, but acknowledges nothing can be taken for granted". As a Pop Fan commented at the time:, "But is the world aware that this was a song that none other than Westlife rejected for a soundtrack to the Special Olympics in Ireland 2003 for sounding "too wet" !!???"

The Suedehead Chart Commentary
As Rihanna's Single is No.1 for a 6th Week, she has achieved the 'Double Top', - No.1 in both Charts, at the same time. It is the 3rd time that she's achieve it, & the 2nd time in 2011 - with 4 different Hits, too. (It is very rare to achieve it twice in a Calendar Year, but even more rare to achieve it via 2 different Singles, & 2 different Albums). THE 20 ACTS WHO HAVE ACHIEVED THE FEAT MORE THAN ONCE:, (I show how many times they achieved it - and for how many Weeks/Charts) 1) THE BEATLES - 15 TIMES - 45 WEEKS 2)=ELVIS PRESLEY - 7 TIMES - 22 WEEKS 2)=THE SHADOWS - 7 TIMES - 13 WEEKS ** 4)=ABBA - 4 TIMES - 13 WEEKS 4)=CLIFF RICHARD - 4 TIMES - 11 WEEKS 4)=QUEEN - 4 TIMES - 8 WEEKS 4)=MADONNA - 4 TIMES - 8 WEEKS *** 8)=ROLLING STONES - 3 TIMES - 5 WEEKS 8)=THE POLICE - 3 TIMES - 4 WEEKS 8)=RIHANNA - 3 TIMES - 3 WEEKS (To W/E 3rd December 2011) *** 11)=ROD STEWART - 2 TIMES - 7 WEEKS 11)=T.

Madonna, Lady GaGa, Rihanna, & Adele, are the only ‘Solo’ Female Acts to achieve it more than once. (Madonna - 1986, 1989, 2005, & 2008). (Lady GaGa - 2009 & 2010). (Rihanna - 2007 & twice in 2011). (Adele - twice in 2011). Rihanna is the first Artist since 1979, to achieve the feat twice in a Calendar Year, with 2 different Singles & Albums. Gary Numan achieved it in 1979. However, he achieved it once as Tubeway Army, (his Group), & once as Gary Numan. Purists may say that Rihanna is the first credited Artist to achieve it since T. Rex, in May 1972 - 39 Years & 6 Months ago…. A) CONTENTIOUS…..(Because Gary Numan was credited as Tubeway Army, when he first achieved it, in July 1979) 21/07/1979 (1) Gary Numan/Tubeway Army - Replicas // Are Friends Electric 22/09/1979 (1) Gary Numan - The Pleasure Principle // Cars B) NON-CONTENTIOUS…..(Because T.

The Suedehead Chart Commentary
Regarding the Noel Gallagher's Album Positions, since it was at No.1. 1 - 2 - 4 - 8 - 16 They are the same as those of The Winner Takes it All, by ABBA, when that was falling from No.1, in 1980:, 1 - 1 - 2 - 4 - 8 - 16 The ABBA Single was at No.30, after that - which is a drop that the Noel Gallagher Album is unlikely to make. Another weird Chart coincidence happened with Amaia Montero's Cover of ABBA's Chiquitita, in Spain, between November 2010 & January 2011. Its Spanish Top 30 Positions were:, 13 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 1 - 2 - 8 - 28 Those first 2 Positions - and the last 2 - are exactly the same as ABBA's Super Trouper had, in our Top 30, between November 1980, & January 1981:, 13 - 2 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 4 - 5 - 5 - 8 - 28
