  1. Cliff Richard's Millennium Prayer is the famous one-Radio One actually banned his songs!!!!
  2. Adele's '21' Debuts At No. 1 On The Billboard 200 With 352,000 Sales Adele storms in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with her sophomore album, "21," selling a mighty 352,000 copies in its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan. It's her best sales week -- and highest-charting album -- and also the highest frame for any album since the sales week ending Nov. 28, 2010. That's when Kanye West's "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" and Nicki Minaj's "Pink Friday" started in the Nos. 1 and 2 slots, respectively, with 496,000 and 375,000. Notably, "21" also bows atop the Digital Albums chart with 217,000 downloads -- 62% of the set's overall first week. Again, it's the fattest week for a digital set since West's "My Beautiful" moved 224,000 downloads in its premiere. Adele, who took home the best new artist Grammy award in 2009, reached No. 10 with her debut set, "19." It has spent a total of 71 weeks on the tally and has shifted 948,000 copies in the United States. This week, it bounds 50-16 on the Billboard 200, giving the singer a pair of albums in the top 20. It's the first time an artist has placed their first two releases concurrently in the top 20 since Justin Bieber did so on June 5, 2010, with "My World" and "My World 2.0." This week, "Rolling in the Deep" -- the first single from "21" -- vaults 13-7 on the Digital Songs chart, moving 151,000 (up 26%). To date, since its release to retailers on Nov. 30 of last year, it has sold 621,000. Another "21" song, "Someone Like You," which she has been performing to great reaction on a number of TV shows lately, bows at No. 45 with 51,000. Adele memorably sung "Someone Like You" on the Brit Awards on Feb. 16, and in two weeks' time, its two clips with the most views on YouTube have racked up 3.3 million views. (To compare, Rihanna also performed on the Brits, singing a medley of songs from her "Loud" album, and its most-viewed clips have tallied 1.3 million views.)

    I still think Jessie will have the number 1 album
  4. Agreed-that Chart Numbers game has to be the most moronic thing ever invented-and if Yeates says that "the only thing you are playing for is pride" one more effing time............and i really really don't care who is doing what whilst listening to the show-just play the sodding records. I can't bear his pronunciation (or lack of it) either-he is the most awful chart show presenter ever-and I love it when he is on holiday. My choice would be Scott Mills, but Greg James did a good job as stand in.
  5. The name Wham! was known in the States, whereas the name George Michael wasn't.
  6. I can only echo everyone else: Get rid of Reggie Yeates. I feel sometimes i have stumbled onto a chat on the top deck of a bus when i am listening to the chart. Mind numbing texts, chats with faceless dull Grime artists, incorrect chart details, in jokes, bad pronunciation......the list is endless. I never used to miss the Top 40, from the glory days of Bruno and Mark, to the barely adequate Wes Butters, to the cheeky chappie style of JK and Joel-i was there through each change of style and tone, but now I find myself skipping most of the show as I cannot stand the appalling shambles the show has become. So, sack Reggie, employ Scott Mills-he is fantastic. Less guests, I like the odd chat here and there-but not with anyone who has absolutley nothing to say, and given 20 minutes to say it in. Get a producer who checks facts-it's not difficult if you have access to the flaming Internet. Recap each chart section. Play the top ten albums. Pretty simple. If that is done, I will be a regular committed listener again!
