17TH AUGUST “Wannabe” continues show girlpower at the top as it earns a fourth week at No 1 on a sale of 145,000, another 3% drop week on week following on from the 2% dip last week. That shows the consistency of the figures that the Spice Girls are putting in, enough for it to go platinum (600,000) in a mere 5 weeks. 5Q7vEVWUzhw Los Del Rio surge 5-2 (48,000) now that those new entries last week have subsided but “Macarena” actually lost sales last week and indicating that replicating its current US No 1 status here looks really beyond it. Robbie Williams’ sales are off a whopping 72% to just 41,000 in its second week evidencing the rather niche appeal of the song which doesn’t seem to expand to the general public. Spice Girls may be the newest girlgroup on the block but they’ve some way to go to match the success of Eternal who this week secure an 8th top 10 single with “Someday”. The song is taken from the new Disney film “Hunchback Of Notre Dame” which features Eric Clapton on guitar, the song is actually recorded by different acts in varying countries, All-4-one in the US, Luis Miguel in Latin America, and Neri Per Caso in Italian but it is Eternal who get the gig here. It is perhaps a reminder to the Spices that they have competition though of course a top 3 hit still eludes Eternal- this enters at No 4 (36,000) to equal their best ever showing. It’s also the highest placed Disney film track ever. w38BE4URI_Q Eternal have Eric Clapton and the new Paul Weller single has Ocean Colour Scene’s Steve Craddock on guitar of his new single which narrowly fails to be the biggest new entry of the week as it crashes in at No 5 (33,000). That makes it Weller’s highest placed solo single and indeed biggest hit since “Groovin” made No 5 in May 1984 as the Style Council. aYGDH0afM0k OMC stands for Otara Millionaires club (Otara is one of the poorest neighbourhoods in Auckland so it used somewhat in irony) and is the recording name of brothers Phil and Pauly Fuemana and Alan Jansson. The outfit’s debut international release is “How Bizarre” which has already made No 1 in earlier in the year in both New Zealand and Australia and finally makes inroads here lifting 11-8 (26,000)- who said that “Macarena” was the song for the summer? VkExkcrMfs8 Dodgy dip 4-6 (33,000) while The Fugees continue a slow descent 6-7 (28,000) as the song nears the 1.2 million mark even though it remains top 10! Underworld hold steady at No 9 (22,000) with Bone Thugs-N-Harmony dipping 8-10 (20,000). 1- WANNABE- Spice Girls (145,000) 2- MACARENA- Los Del Rio (48,000) 3- FREEDOM- Robbie Williams (41,000) 4- SOMEDAY- Eternal (36,000) 5- PEACOCK SUIT- Paul Weller (33,000) 6- GOOD ENOUGH- Dodgy (33,000) 7- KILLING ME SOFTLY- The Fugees (28,000) 8- HOW BIZARRE- OMC (26,000) 9- BORN SLIPPY- Underworld (22,000) 10- THA CROSSROADS- Bone Thugs N Harmony (20,000)

17TH APRIL The events of last week in the South Atlantic appear to have little effect on the charts except to drain it of sales (though that was more to do with the Easter Bank Holiday). It ended up being a mad scramble for the top slot with the entire top 3 all being within 10,000 copies of each other in by far the tightest race for No 1 this year, in the end Bucks Fizz emerged victorious even with a slender7% increase to 79,000- that's the third lowest tally of 1982 a unwanted accolade as now two of those three weeks were when the group at No 1! Back in January "Land Of Make Believe" sold a few thousand less in its first week at the top but this week in their return to the top (a third chart topper you'll note) they hold off Chas And Dave's "Ain't No Pleasing You" by under 1,000 copies, the belated release of the 12" made all the difference for the Bucks giving them the edge just when needed! 80BMeQR3_hs Joining the battle late, but almost stealing the show is "Ebony And Ivory" a new superstar duet between Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder. It's taken from the new McCartney album "Tug Of War" which is due in a fortnight and was penned by the man himself and is a fourth straight top 10 hit for the former Beatle. With guest vocals from Stevie Wonder he recorded his part of the promo at an entirely separate time due to work commitments and this is now his 14th top 10 single and makes up for the disappointment of "That Girl" which peaked at No 39 in January. It rockets this week 19-3 (69,000). The song dates back to 1980 when it was demoed for a Wings album before the group disbanded, Wonder and McCartney have long been friends since the 60s and was a first choice of a duet partner for McCartney. fXAlfh6QKQs Released on Rough Trade records twice last spring and summer "Papa's Got A Brand New Pigbag" failed to chart though becoming a nightclub favourite and consistently selling around 1,000 copies a week without charting . The band have been touring and promoting the song for most of the year and have rekindled demand for the track which this week becomes their first top 40 single (though they have two minor hits to their credit already) the track arrives 30-9 (46,000). The label finally cottoned on to the fact that if they actually deleted the single and build up demand then a third re-issue might give it enough impetus to finally break through and become a hit. V-BX-99xkm8 Moving onto their 14th top 10 hit Status Quo can never be written off it appears, they return with "Dear John" (13-10, 42,000) which becomes their 3rd top 10 hit on the trot, not quite their best run as they managed 5 consecutive top tenners during 1973-1976. It comes from their what will be their 15th album "1982" which is released this week and will seek to replace Iron Maiden at the top on that chart and reassert the Quo's right to be called Britain's biggest rock band and is the first to feature their new drummer. U-zIM7ofJSw Goombay Dance Band drop 1-4 with "Seven Tears" on a sale of 67,000 and are one of 3 fallers in the top 10, the others being Japan who ebb 5-7 (49,000) and Imagination who collapse 3-8 (47,000). Better news for Roxy Music who hold at No 6 (63,000) and Dollar who rise 7-5 (65,000). 1- MY CAMERA NEVER LIES- Bucks Fizz (79,000) 2- AIN’T NO PLEASING YOU- Chas & Dave (78,000) 3- EBONY & IVORY- Paul McCartney & Stevie Wonder (69,000) 4- SEVEN TEARS- Goombay Dance Band (67,000) 5- GIVE ME BACK MY HEART- Dollar (65,000) 6- MORE THAN THIS- Roxy Music (63,000) 7- GHOSTS- Japan (49,000) 8- JUST AN ILLUSION- Imagination (47,000) 9- PAPA’S GOT A BRAND NEW PIGBAG- Pigbag (46,000) 10- DEAR JOHN- Status Quo (42,000)

The rate results tell a different story.....

10TH APRIL It holds fast but yet again "Seven Tears" takes a dip sales wise down to a still healthy 87,000 taking it's overall sales to just over half a million and rises to No 6 in the YTD lists. It will all depend on the relative strength of the market next week as to who (if anyone) can prevent a fourth week at the top for Goombay Dance Band. o5gymHHV1Ew As we've mentioned the YTD chart here's the top 10 at the end of Quarter 1 1- THE LION SLEEPS TONIGHT- Tight Fit 755,101 2- A TOWN CALLED MALICE/ PRECIOUS- The Jam 590,099 3- GOLDEN BROWN- The Stranglers 548,653 4- THE MODEL/ COMPUTER LOVE- Kraftwerk 514,257 5- OH JULIE- Shakin Stevens 511,083 6- SEVEN TEARS- Goombay Dance Band 500,687 7- LOVE PLUS ONE- Haircut 100 500,461 8- MICKEY- Toni Basil 485,852 9- THE LAND OF MAKE BELIEVE- Bucks Fizz 424,465 10- MAID OF ORLEANS- OMD 420,934 As you can see No's 4-8 are very tight on the YTD but Tight Fit are some way ahead of the field as they exit the top 10 this week. Due at the end of May is Roxy Music's next album "Avalon" which should follow in the footsteps of their last LP "Flesh And Blood" in 1980, and to promote it the lead single "More Than This" became their joint highest debuting single when it entered at No 18 last week (equalling 1980's "Over You"). This week it outperforms the latter single by doing one better and leaping to No 6 (51,000) it is also the follow up the half million selling single (and their first No 1 single) "Jealous Guy"- this should go on to do great things for the band and is their 10th top tenner in a career now a decade long. DasFNDmAYD8 Arriving 15-7 (48,000) this week is the 4th top 10 smash for David Van Day and Thereza Bazar, better known as Dollar. With the group still ensconced in the studio with Trevor Horn the album seems to be taking its time but the singles continue to flow as "Give Me Back My Heart" proves the group are on a roll. W4tHA_WVGaU Proving you can never really write off Leo Sayer he returns back to the top 10 today as he climbs 14-10 (39,000) with "Have You Ever Been In Love". Just like Roxy Music this is Sayer's tenth top 10 hit and is his first single since 1980's "More Than I Can Say". It's co-written by Peter Sinfield and Andy Hill, better known as the songwriters for Bucks Fizz, and is the lead track from his 9th album "World Radio" due next month. oCURaqTpJlA Talking of Bucks Fizz they leap 5-2 this week but belies the fact that the track is unlikely to make no 1 given that even with TOTP it only increases sales by 43% to 74,000 and could struggle next week. That was still enough to overcome Imagination who slip 2-3 (74,000) and lost runner up spot at the death, two climbers are shaping up nicely at No's 4 & 5- Chas & Dave move 7-4 (66,000) and Japan accelerate 9-5 (56,000). Two fallers to mention briefly, Derek & The Dominoes drop 4-8 (42,000) and Julio Iglesias can't make it two chart toppers in a row as he dives 3-9 (41,000) 1- SEVEN TEARS- Goombay Dance Band (87,000) 2- MY CAMERA NEVER LIES- Bucks Fizz (74,000) 3- JUST AN ILLUSION- Imagination (74,000) 4- AIN’T NO PLEASING YOU- Chas & Dave (66,000) 5- GHOSTS- Japan (56,000) 6- MORE THAN THIS- Roxy Music (51,000) 7- GIVE ME BACK MY HEART- Dollar (48,000) 8- LAYLA- Derek & The Dominoes (42,000) 9- QUIEREME MUCHO (YOURS)- Julio Iglesias (41,000) 10- HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN LOVE- Leo Sayer (39,000)

YEAR: 2007 PEAK POSITION: 21 VOTER: Popchartfreak- 20pts, Gezza- 13pts, Chartjack2- 12 pts, Dandy*- 8pts, Bjork- 4pts, Jimwatts- 1pt First single from “Light At The End Of The World” and was their last top 30 single. Clarke recalls “This is one of the few songs that existed in part before the Maine hotel room writing sessions. Before we started this album, I was really keen for it not to be mid-tempo—I'm having a mid-tempo crisis! Our albums seem to have got slower and slower, so I started searching for classic funk or disco bass lines, put some ideas together with chord changes and bass lines underneath, and emailed them to Andy for him to sing over the top. The song, like this album, is quite 'up' and uptempo because we're both in good spaces right now” It has two promos- one featuring the band in a supermarket and one made with fan submit short clips on the theme of falling in love.

YEAR: 2003 PEAK POSITION: 10 VOTER: Popchartfreak- 13pts, King Rollo- 12pts, Jester- 11pts, Chartjack2- 8pts, Padamic Tension- 6pts The original concept for the album “Other People’s songs” was that it would be a solo Andy Bell album covering songs he’d always liked and doing predominately Phil Spector tracks turning them into gay love songs. In the end it morphed into an Erasure album. This was of course a cover of Peter Gabriel’s 1977 #13 hit for which the duo had to change the tempo to suit Bell’s vocals, it returned them to the top 10 for the first time in 9 years- so job done! yNwD2X3kjlk JZLPpKGzBYc

3RD APRIL "Seven Tears" is still atop of the charts this week but it's retreating sales wise almost immediately, it shifted a further 106,000 copies to bring the title's total to 413,000 after just 6 weeks, nothing to be sniffed at. Perhaps the fact that singles have increased by 10p affected sales? (that increase has been blamed on manufacturing picture discs which are increasingly popular by fans along with other gimmicks currently being employed by record labels to attract purchases). 57fsyyejKVs The Goombay Dance Band climb into the YTD top 10 which we'll reveal next week but they are still way behind Tight Fit who trip over 700,000 as it slides 2-6 (52,000). Also in the top 10 YTD are Bucks Fizz who are back in the weekly top 10 today with the follow up to "Land Of Make Believe" called "My Camera Never Lies". Debuting last week at No 33 it rockets to No 5 on a sale of 52,000 copies and becomes the second fastest selling single of their brief one year career so far naturally behind "Making Your Mind Up", their second album "Are You Ready" is due later this month and will contain both of their last two tracks. It seems the band are building on that initial Eurovision victory. QYDy4oSegNQ It's now been over a year since Chas & Dave scored their first top 10 hit with "Rabbit" but the wait is over as this week "Ain't No Pleasing You" jumps 14-7 (50,000) to beat their previous best chart position attained by the aforementioned "Rabbit" of No 8 in Jan 1981. V1bxWAFgV1I Knocking around since 1974 it took until 1980 for Japan to score their first hit single "Gentlemen Take Polaroids" (No 60) and now a further 2 years to score their first top 10 single "Ghosts" as it jolts 16-9 (43,000). The group have been garnering considerable press recently for their looks and presentation but there is clearly some good music on offer as well as we can see, the parent album "Tin Drum" peaked at No 12 upon release back in November but it re-climbs this week to No 13, tantalisingly close to re-peaking. oXQJ8f-HgZo Away from the new entries and Imagination are now within touching distance of that elusive No 1 spot with "Just An Illusion" climbing 4-2 (73,000) thanks to TOTP, and a similar story for Derek & The Dominoes as "Layla" leaps 7-4 (60,000). Julio Iglesias meanwhile stumbles at No 3 (70,000) without TOTP whilst ABC tumble 6-8 (44,000) and the Associates drop 9-10 (41,000) 1- SEVEN TEARS- Goombay Dance Band (106,000) 2- JUST AN ILLUSION- Imagination (73,000) 3- QUIEREME MUCHO (YOURS)- Julio Iglesias (70,000) 4- LAYLA- Derek & The Dominoes (60,000) 5- MY CAMERA NEVER LIES- Bucks Fizz (52,000) 6- THE LION SLEEPS TONIGHT- Tight Fit (52,000) 7- AIN’T NO PLEASING YOU- Chas & Dave (50,000) 8- POISON ARROW- ABC (44,000) 9- GHOSTS- Japan (43,000) 10- PARTY FEARS II- The Associates (41,000)

YEAR: 1992 PEAK POSITION: 1 VOTER: Jester- 19pts, Chartjack2- 18pts, King Rollo- 7pts, Mango- 3pts 1975 Abba classic revamped for the “Abba-Esque EP”. Improved on the peak of the original (No 6) Clarke commented on the success of the EP “I’m really pleased with how it’s done but at the same time, for me, it’s not Erasure. It’s an aside, a bit of a laugh. We copied the arrangements pretty much as the originals, but there isn’t the same satisfaction, it’s not really us” QvR72DYtYHw OvDzOprkBTE

YEAR: 2005 PEAK POSITION: 25 VOTER: Bjork- 21pts, Mango- 10pts, Gezza- 8pts, Padamic Tension- 4pts Third release from “Nightbird” which at least kept their top 30 run intact. akdTCnuv574

27TH MARCH Just 7 weeks after Kraftwerk became the first West German band to make No 1 in the UK we now have a second West German act to make the books as Goombay Dance Band make the expected move 2-1 (119,000) and it's an easy victory for the band as well as they were clear from the off with little doubt that they would triumph. That of course means that Tight Fit relinquish the top spot but as they slide 1-2 (73,000) which brings their total to 674,000, easily now the biggest hit of the year, though it looks it won't be passing "Tainted Love" as the decade's biggest seller! ULqxiUK6kOs Although a long way off the top, history suggests not writing off Julio Iglesias just yet. His last single "Begin The Beguine" topped the charts for a week in December 1981, now follow up "Quiereme Mucho (Yours)" powers 12-3 (71,000) this week, the title translates as "Love Me Much" and it seems the UK public currently wants to indulge Iglesias- could he sneak another No 1? 9BviGACC7G8 Though only together for under 2 years Derek and The Dominoes produced one album in their time and from that the track "Layla" made No 7 in 1972. Co-written by Eric Clapton about his unrequited love for George Harrison's then wife Pattie Boyd it has gone on to become something of a classic and for proof Boyd and Clapton of course married in 1978, the re-issue this year is the full version not the heavily edited cut which was made into a single in 1972 and is used to promote the re-release of "Time Pieces- The Best of". Sb1qpuQoMxo Scottish pop is back this time courtesy of the Associates who have been knocking around since 1979 without troubling the charts but as they move onto Album No 3 "Sulk" due in May they find the magic bullet. "Party Fears II" this week floats 15-9 (46,000) for the northerners backed with an eccentric TOTP performance. fZSMDaewz2A Outside of the new entries there are climbers for Imagination 8-4 (58,000) and Adrian Gurvitz 10-8 (46,000) whilst ABC hold at No 6 (53,000), falling down the listings however are Toni Basil 3-5 (58,000) and Haircut 100 4-10 (43,000). 1- SEVEN TEARS- Goombay Dance Band (119,000) 2- THE LION SLEEPS TONIGHT- Tight Fit (73,000) 3- QUIEREME MUCHO (YOURS)- Julio Iglesias (71,000) 4- JUST AN ILLUSION- Imagination (58,000) 5- MICKEY- Toni Basil (58,000) 6- POISON ARROW- ABC (53,000) 7- LAYLA- Derek & The Dominoes (47,000) 8- CLASSIC- Adrian Gurvitz (46,000) 9- PARTY FEARS TWO- The Associates (46,000) 10- LOVE PLUS ONE- Haircut 100 (43,000)

YEAR: 2007 PEAK POSITION: Did not chart VOTER: Dandy*- 15pts, Gezza- 11pts, King Rollo- 5pts Erasure’s first “flop” chart wise though Wiki says it peaked at 172!!- this was part of the “Storm Chaser EP” which again meant that CD single sales were not counted towards the chart so that may have been a factor. Bell commented “The riff in the song was amazing, it’s like an ABBA song for the riff alone” sxN_qNOmU5Y

YEAR: 2000 PEAK POSITION: Ineligible VOTER: Padamic Tension- 14pts, King Rollo- 10pts, Dandy*- 3pts Another single packaged into an EP which overran on timings to make it ineligible for the UK charts. It was heavily remixed from the album version. Originally the plan was that the second single would be “Alien” but in the end it was swapped out. O3p7BxvEYyc

You're quite right it was the Rapino brothers not brothers in rhythm!

The brothers in rhythm was the UK remix (the first version). The other version was the hit in the Europe, this was back in the day when records routinely got remixed for the UK market to be hits here

Baby I'm an addict..... Somewhere Des'ree was making notes...

20TH MARCH Another week at the top beckons for Tight Fit whose "Lion Sleeps Tonight" sells a further 94,000 copies last week, a still impressive total though the rest of the pack inch closer every week. The single is now the biggest selling of the year so far- and it's still No 1! XYnsn61aOnY Tight Fit will be hard pushed to make a fourth week as Goombay Dance Band broke through the ranks this week to spiral 8-2 (81,000) and could threaten for the top in 7 days time. After 3 top 20 hits Imagination are back with a new album "In The Heat Of The Night" which is due in a couple of months, lead single "Just An Illusion" this week charges 18-8 (41,000) to become their second top 10 hit for the colourful trio. bip_JuQpSwg Also returning to the top 10 is Adrian Gurvitz. Who? Well he was in the lead vocalist in the group Gun who scored a No 8 hit back in 1968 with "Race With The Devil", the group split some 12 years ago and Gurvitz has been involved with other groups but nothing of note chart wise, until recent hit "Classic" which this week soars 12-10 (38,000) . fiPYamC-zXg To make way for the Goombay Dance Band the rest of the top 5 all move back one spot, and all lose sales so can't really grumble, Toni Basil reneges 2-3 (80,000), Haircut 100 drop 3-4 (63,000) and Bananarama and Fun Boy Three recede 4-5 (57,000), to further note J Geils Band also drop 5-9 (40,000) on their way out. In amongst them all two climbers, ABC propel 10-6 (56,000) and Bow Wow Wow are right behind them 9-7 (51,000) 1- THE LION SLEEPS TONIGHT- Tight Fit (94,000) 2- SEVEN TEARS- Goombay Dance Band (81,000) 3- MICKEY- Toni Basil (80,000) 4- LOVE PLUS ONE- Haircut 100 (63,000) 5- IT AINT WHAT YOU DO IT’S THE WAY THAT YOU DO IT- Fun Boy Three & Bananarama (57,000) 6- POISON ARROW- ABC (56,000) 7- GO WILD IN THE COUNTRY- Bow Wow Wow (51,000) 8- JUST AN ILLUSION- Imagination (41,000) 9- CENTERFOLD- J Geils Band (40,000) 10- CLASSIC- Adrian Gurvitz (38,000)

13TH MARCH Tight Fit continue to impress at the No 1 spot selling a further 106,000 copies last week which brings its total sales to 507,000 copies, the third biggest hit of 1982 behind only the Stranglers and The Jam. The latter move to No 1 on the YTD list despite hurtling 3-11 on the weekly charts and also debut at No 1 on the album charts with "The Gift", it's the group's sixth album but their first chart topper- they certainly seem to be on a roll at present. WScEJKNMdgI Out of the top 6 only Toni Basil went without TOTP and it shows, the track held No 2 but loses 8,000 sales week on week to 88,000, it was still well clear of Haircut 100 who despite improving 4-3 lost sales as they register 69,000 buyers last week. Formed in 1975 Iron Maiden have been chart regulars since 1980, since when they have accrued 6 hit singles none peaking higher than No 29 but new single "Run To The Hills" finally provides them with their breakthrough single. Climbing 11-7 (49,000) it is the lead track to the bands third album "The Number Of The Beast" which is due next month and will be the first to feature new lead Vocalist Bruce Dickinson, they are also one of the foremost groups in the new wave of UK heavy metal which has undergone a resurgence in recent years. 86URGgqONvA Named after a small bay in St Lucia, Goombay Dance Band are up next with "Seven Tears" which this week accelerates 39-8 (47,000) as it becomes their first UK hit. The band are already a big name in Europe with their song "Sun Of Jamaica" topping charts all over the place in 1980. XMJohEuidvE How appropriate is this? In the week when Adam & The Ants rumours of a split swirl around ("Deutscher Girls" holds at No 13 and a rush released "Antmusic EP" arrives at No 60 as a farewell if true) Matthew Ashman, Leigh Gorman and David Barbarossa formerly of the band arrive in the top 10 along with Annabella Lwin as Bow Wow Wow. They were lured away from Adam Ant back in 1980 by Malcolm McLaren to form Bow Wow Wow and must have feared they had missed out on the big time until "Wild In The Country" which this week continues to expand 16-9 (43,000). It's their first release for RCA after EMI dropped the band after allegations of exploitation of lead singer Lwin along with the idea that their single "C30,C60, C90 Go" promoted home taping and thusly EMI refused to promote despite the fact it was the first single to be released on new format the Cassingle. That's all behind them now, interestingly it is their first release not to be produced Malcolm McLaren. Lw6Ofi-oMCM It's second time lucky for ABC whose debut single "Tears Are Not Enough" peaked at No 19 last year but go considerably better with "Poison Arrow" (15-10, 40,000) and is the precursor to their debut album which is due in the summer. This single is produced by Trevor Horn who has been working his magic on Dollar in recent months and revamped their fortunes, he's the man with the golden touch at present. N-L81YQyZ9c Elsewhere Bananarama and Fun Boy Three haven't stopped yet as they climb 6-4 (63,000) but it's illusionary in some respects as its sales are off, and neither have Depeche Mode who are northbound with "See You" (8-6, 54,000) meanwhile J Geils Band hold at No 5 on a sale of 59,000 thanks in the main to TOTP. 1- THE LION SLEEPS TONIGHT- Tight Fit (106,000) 2- MICKEY- Toni Basil (88,000) 3- LOVE PLUS ONE- Haircut 100 (69,000) 4- IT AIN’T WHAT YOU DO IT’S THE WAY THAT YOU DO IT- Fun Boy Three & Bananarama (63,000) 5- CENTERFOLD- J Geils Band (59,000) 6- SEE YOU- Depeche Mode (54,000) 7- RUN TO THE HILLS- Iron Maiden (49,000) 8- SEVEN TEARS- Goombay Dance Band (47,000) 9- GO WILD IN THE COUNTRY- Bow Wow Wow (43,000) 10- POISON ARROW- ABC (40,000)
