It's the highest new entry!

1ST JUNE Touted as something of a homecoming when the country won the right to host the Euro championships back in 1992, England is of course the country to be in if you’re a football fan over the course of the next month and naturally the occasion merited a record to promote it. Comedians Frank Skinner and David Baddiel were roped in thanks to their show “Fantasy Football League” and Ian Brodie of the Lightning Seeds wrote the music and the result is “Three Lions” so named after the England Football shirt. The track sold 110,000 copies last week to get the campaign off to a good start- the proceedings start on June 8th! Whilst Skinner and Baddiel are new to the charts this is the Lightning Seeds 9th top 40 hit never hitting higher than No 13 until this week. RJqimlFcJsM Gina G is on her post Eurovision come down 1-2 (66,000) and will go platinum next week whilst we have another new entry at No 3. Peter Andre has been “about to happen” for at least 6 months now in this country but has been a star in Australia since the early 90s where he’s been generating hits. He’s actually UK born but has been living down under since he was just 6 which accounts for his rise to fame via an Australian talent contest. He’s star is the ascendency with each of his three hits so far charting higher than the last, “The Only One” made No 16 back in March and now “Mysterious Girl” crashes straight into the No 3 spot. It’s actually a re-issue of the song which made No 53 last September and features rapper Bubbler Ranx to add a little sunshine, naturally it has already been a hit in Australia where it made No 8, the single sold 65,000 copies last week narrowly failing to maintain its midweek No 2 position. The song is co-penned by former 80s popstar Glen Goldsmith who never peaked higher than No 12 as a solo act. FcZRERKRtHo It’s taken 5 years but Metallica are finally back with a new album “Load” out later this month and a new single “Until It Sleeps” which instantly matches their highest peaking single “Enter Sandman” by debuting at No 5 (42,000). F3WIHtOmkBg It’s also been 5 years since Bryan Adams’ last studio album, that was of course prefixed by the 16 week chart topper “Everything I Do” but he doesn’t look like he’ll get quite the same launch this time around with his new single “The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me” arriving at No 6 (39,000). Incredibly it’s only his 6th top 10 single in the UK. HP4z_9ReI40 For the first time ever the top 6 contains four new entries! Already a US chart topper Celine Dion’s “Because You Loved Me” finally gets its UK release and is new at No 9 (28,000). It is featured in the new Robert Redford/ Michelle Pfeiffer movie “Up Close & Personal” which is out in a month and is penned by Diane Warren like so many of her hits. It’s Dion’s 7th top 10 hit but her most instant debuting higher than any of her previous singles. C6OzR87EW6U Tony Rich Project climb 5-4 (51,000) whilst JX tip 4-7 (30,000). George Michael takes a big hit this week 2-8 (30,000) as “Older” remains No 1 on the album chart, and Mark Morrison slips 3-10 (27,000) but has sold almost 700,000 copies before it has left the top flight. 1- THREE LIONS- Baddiel/ Skinner/ lightning Seeds (110,000) 2- OOH AAH JUST A LITTLE BIT- Gina G (66,000) 3- MYSTERIOUS GIRL- Peter Andre Ft Bubbler Ranx (65,000) 4- NOBODY KNOWS- Tony Rich Project (51,000) 5- UNTIL IT SLEEPS- Metallica (42,000) 6- THE ONLY THING THAT LOOKS GOOD ON ME IS YOU- Bryan Adams (39,000) 7- THERE’S NOTHING I WON’T DO- JX (30,000) 8- FASTLOVE- George Michael (30,000) 9- BECAUSE YOU LOVED ME- Celine Dion (28,000) 10- RETURN OF THE MACK- Mark Morrison (27,000)

25TH MAY Another fascinating week on the charts, George Michael is No 1 on airplay and in the album chart where “Older” sold 280,000 to debut at the top, but on the singles chart he fades 1-2 with “Fastlove” selling another 49,000 in the process. Despite only finishing in 7th place on the big night Gina G got enough pre publicity for “Ooh Aah Just A Little Bit” to see it finally rise 2-1. In doing so it becomes the 9th Eurovision performed song to make the top and the first since Nicole in 1982, in terms of UK entries it is the first entry to hit the top since Bucks Fizz back in 1981. It sold a more healthy 75,000 copies last week to bring total sales of the track to 502,000- impressive. It’s taken 8 weeks to make No 1 and becomes the first song to actually drop down the charts on its way to No 1 (in a continuous run) since Celine Dion’s “Think Twice”. rSI5jXizUAo Mark Morrison again completes a top 3 which has contained the same tracks for the last month, selling 40,000 in doing so. Mike Stock and Matt Aitken took Robson & Jerome from “Soldier Soldier” to the top of the charts and now they’re trying to take actor John Alford from “Grange Hill” and “London’s Burning” to the same place. Alford featured on the 1986 Grange Hill Cast recording of “Just Say No” (No 6), but his first single, a cover of the Platters “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes” made No 13 earlier this year but he chances another cover with double a-side “Blue Moon/ Only You” hits in the 50s/60s and hits harder at No 9 (27,000). oesmJSwP6P8 Black Grape are currently recording their second album and whilst we wait we get the single “Fat Neck” which becomes their third top 10 single debuting at No 10 (23,000). Bez has of course left the group now but the hits seem to roll on. CrORqbakFzM JX rocket 7-4 (39,000) with Tony Rich Project hard on his heels 10-5 (34,000) which means there’s no room for Suggs who dips 5-6 (32,000). Smashing Pumpkins lift 9-7 (31,000), their album also accelerates 37-18, the first time in the top 20 since its release back in November. Liverpool FC crash 4-11 but it’s better news for victors Manchester United who are still down but only 6-8 (27,000). Next week more football records! 1- OOH AHH JUST A LITTLE BIT- Gina G (75,000) 2- FASTLOVE- George Michael (49,000) 3- RETURN OF THE MACK- Mark Morrison (40,000) 4- THERE’S NOTHING I WON’T DO- JX (39,000) 5- NOBODY KNOWS- Tony Rich Project (34,000) 6- CECILIA- Suggs Ft Louchie Lou & Michie One (32,000) 7- TONIGHT TONIGHT- Smashing Pumpkins (31,000) 8- MOVE MOVE MOVE (THE RED TRIBE)- Manchester United Football Squad (27,000) 9- BLUE MOON/ ONLY YOU- John Alford (27,000) 10- FAT NECK- Black Grape (23,000)

A reminder we're skipping a week tomorrow so I'll still post two charts to keep us up to date.

18TH MAY Well it was another interesting week in the charts with the expected three way tussle emerging and just 4,000 copies separated all the top 3 though sales are off for each single. The headline is that George Michael’s “Fastlove” clings on for a third week and interestingly none of George’s 11 appearances at No 1 have lasted 4 weeks and this will almost certainly not be breaking the trend especially with album “Older” out this week. Its victory over Gina G at No 2 was just 285 copies in the end with the Michael single selling 56,000- that’s the lowest tally for a No 1 single since Take That’s “Never Forget” last August. With a new CD version out this week coupled with Eurovision this coming Saturday it would take a brave man not to predict a sales increase for “Ooh Aah Just A Little Bit” and a No 1 spot in 7 days. SHAQlFq6TFg Mark Morrison completes the top 3 falling 2-3 (52,000) but has total sales of 621,000 and is now the 5th biggest seller of the year. I can’t recall a time when two different club Football teams scored top 10 singles simultaneously (honourable mention to the national teams of England and Scotland who were both top 10 in May 1982) but as Manchester United win the FA cup last Saturday and hold at No 6 (33,000) it is their defeated opponents Liverpool who get the bigger hit. “Pass And Move (It’s The Liverpool Groove)” smashes in at No 4 (43,000). It officially credits The Bootroom Boys who are actually all members of dance act Apollo 440, only “Anfield Rap” has peaked higher from the team. csN1sW85Z0o DJ Jake Williams is back under the moniker JX, new single “There’s Nothing I Won’t Do” emerges from clubland and enters at No 7 (32,000) to become his second top 10 single. It contains a sample from Taana Gardner’s “Heartbeat” (1981) which was also used in sampled for Ini Kamoze’s “Here Comes The Hotstepper”. hPrUd1ZbOrs Treading a path to fame via US College radio, The Smashing Pumpkins have already scored 4 top 40 singles but now a fifth and biggest so far in “Tonight Tonight” which is new at No 8 (28,000). Lead singer Billy Corgan has described the song as a homage to the group Cheap Trick and lyrically describes an abusive childhood that he escaped. D7o_SXztIVw A recent No 2 hit in the US (stopped by Celine Dion) “Nobody Knows” is starting to make waves here having moved 23-19-10 so far selling 23,000 in its latest frame. Rich was given a telephone audition with LA Reid and wife Pebbles and impressed them so much he was hired as a writer for Laface Records, he now gets a shot in the limelight himself and it seems that with radio taking the song to its heart this may continue to rise. ELqqjY-knno It’s all over for Suggs Featuring Louchie Lou & Michie One who relent 4-5 (41,000) and Blur who dive 5-9 (26,000). 1- FASTLOVE- George Michael (56,000) 2- OOH AAH JUST A LITTLE BIT- Gina G (55,715) 3- RETURN OF THE MACK- Mark Morrison (52,000) 4- PASS AND MOVE (IT’S THE LIVERPOOL GROOVE)- Liverpool FC & Bootroom Boyz (43,000) 5- CECILIA- Suggs Ft Louchie Lou & Michie One (41,000) 6- MOVE MOVE MOVE (THE RED TRIBE)- Manchester United Squad (33,000) 7- THERE’S NOTHING I WON’T DO- JX (32,000) 8- TONIGHT TONIGHT- Smashing Pumpkins (28,000) 9- CHARMLESS MAN- Blur (26,000) 10- NOBODY KNOWS- Tony Rich Project (23,000)
