The sales figures in these lists are those full sales i.e. there complete chart runs. They are labelled from the year of release i.e. they are NOT year end charts. Although 1989 is the same as the year end chart of 89, as I broke off at the end of 1989, as I didn't include 1990s sales. 1989 (Gallup x10) 01 RIDE ON TIME - BLACK BOX 849,000 (860,000 with 1990s sales) 02 ESPECIALLY FOR YOU - KYLIE MINOGUE & JASON DONOVAN 844,000 03 SWING THE MOOD - JIVE BUNNY 820,000 04 ETERNAL FLAME - BANGLES 498,000 05 TOO MANY BROKEN HEARTS - JASON DONOVAN 461,000 06 BACK TO LIFE - SOUL II SOUL 449,000 07 SOMETHING'S GOTTEN HOLD OF MY HEART - MARC ALMOND/GENE PITNEY 447,000 soul ii soul 30th 08 THAT'S WHAT I LIKE - JIVE BUNNY 433,000 09 PUMP UP THE JAM - TECHNOTRONIC 426,000 10 DO THEY KNOW IT'S CHRISTMAS - BAND AID II 424,000 (454,000 with 1990) 11 HAND ON YOUR HEART - KYLIE MINOGUE 419,000 12 LIKE A PRAYER - MADONNA 412,000 13 ALL AROUND THE WORLD - LISA STANSFIELD 371,000 (381,000 with 1990) 14 IF ONLY I COULD - SYDNEY YOUNGBLOOD 367,000 lisa stansfield 30th 365 band aid ii 30th 15 LOVE CHANGES EVERYTHING - MICHAEL BALL 361,000 16 GIRL I'M GONNA MISS YOU - MILLI VANILLI 353,000 17 YOU'LL NEVER STOP ME LOVING YOU - SONIA 346,000 18 RIGHT STUFF - NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK 344,000 (363,000 with 1990) 19 LIVING YEARS - MIKE & THE MECHANICS 339,000 20 FERRY 'CROSS THE MERSEY - VARIOUS 333,000 21 MISS YOU LIKE CRAZY - NATALIE COLE 331,000 22 I WOULDN'T CHANGE A THING - KYLIE MINOGUE 329,000 23 THIS TIME I KNOW IT'S FOR REAL - DONNA SUMMER 319,000 24 REQUIEM - LONDON BOYS 315,000 25 DON'T KNOW MUCH - LINDA RONSTADT & AARON NEVILLE 312,000 (324,000 with 1990) 26 LET'S PARTY - JIVE BUNNY 310,000 (325,000 with 1990) 27 STREET TUFF - REBEL M.C. 308,000 28 BALLAD OF THE STREETS E.P. - SIMPLE MINDS 305,000 requiem 6th street tuff 30th requiem 30th don't know much 30th 29 FRENCH KISS - LIL' LOUIS 300,000 30 SEALED WITH A KISS - JASON DONOVAN 295,000 31 RIGHT HERE WAITING - RICHARD MARX 293,000 32 STRAIGHT UP - PAULA ABDUL 291,000 especially for you 1989 lets party 30th 33 YOU GOT IT - ROY ORBISON 288,000 34 LAMBADA - KAOMA 279,000 (324,000 with 1990) 36 HELP - BANANARAMA/FRENCH & SAUNDERS 276,000 37 STOP - SAM BROWN 274,000 38 WHEN YOU COME BACK TO ME - JASON DONOVAN 266,000 (332,000 with 1990) 39 IF YOU DON'T KNOW ME BY NOW - SIMPLY RED 265,000 lambada 30th 35 GOOD LIFE - INNER CITY 261,000 40 LONDON NIGHTS - LONDON BOYS 260,000 41 POISON - ALICE COOPER 255,000 42 THE BEST - TINA TURNER 247,000 43 LOVE TRAIN - HOLLY JOHNSON 244,000 44 IF I COULD TURN BACK TIME - CHER 240,000 jason donovan 30th 45 LEAVE ME ALONE - MICHAEL JACKSON 238,000 46 ROOM IN YOUR HEART - LIVING IN A BOX 234,000 47 ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE - PHIL COLLINS 232,000 (238,000 with 1990) 48 SONG FOR WHOEVER - BEAUTIFUL SOUTH 230,000 phil collins 30th 228 49 GET A LIFE - SOUL II SOUL (a mrib #1) 228,000 (311,000 with 1990) 50 MY PREROGATIVE - BOBBY BROWN 227,000 51 BABY I DON'T CARE - TRANSVISION VAMP 226,000 52 LEAVE A LIGHT ON - BELINDA CARLISLE 224,000 53 BLAME IT ON THE BOOGIE - BIG FUN 223,000 54 ON OUR OWN - BOBBY BROWN 220,000 55 WE DIDN'T START THE FIRE - BILLY JOEL 218,000 56 BAT DANCE - PRINCE 215,000 57 TIME WARP - DAMIAN 213,000 58 AMERICANOS - HOLLY JOHNSON 213,000 59 CAN'T STAY AWAY FROM YOU - GLORIA ESTEFAN 212,000 60 SHE DRIVES ME CRAZY - FINE YOUNG CANNIBALS 210,000 61 DON'T WANNA LOSE YOU - GLORIA ESTEFAN 208,000 62 DRAMA - ERASURE 206,000 63 TOY SOLDIERS - MARTIKA 205,000 get a life 30th DEAR JESSIE 202,000 WIH 1990 64 KEEP ON MOVIIN' - SOUL II SOUL 201,000 65 CUDDLY TOY - ROACHFORD 199,000 (214,000 with 1988) 66 I BEG YOUR PARDON - KON KAN 197,000 67 EVE OF THE WAR 89 - JEFF WAYNE 196,000 (208,000 with 1990) 68 HEY MUSIC LOVER - S'EXPRESS 193,000 DONALD WHERE'S YOUR TROUSERS 190,000 WITH 1990 (200,000 WITH 1960 69 RIGHT BACK WHERE WE STARTED FROM - SINITTA 189,000 70 I FEEL THE EARTH MOVE -MARTIKA 189,000 (194,000 WITH 1990) 71 WIND BENEATH MY WINGS - BETTE MIDLER 188,000 72 HEY DJ - BEATMASTERS/BETTY BOO 185,000 73 NEVER TOO LATE - KYLIE MINOGUE 183,000 74 TOO MUCH - BROS 179,000 75 SOWING THE SEEDS OF LOVE - TEARS FOR FEARS 178,000 I DON'T WANNA LOSE YOU - TINA TURNER (178,000 WITH 1990) 163,000 in 1989 HOMELY GIRL - UB40 (167,000 WITH 1990) 160,000 in 1989 FOOLS GOLD - STONE ROSES 160,000 (1989 & 1990)

So, the difference is very minimal indeed & the lesser as we get further down the Top 40.

An important factor. Do we know the ratio/percentage of Streaming to be included with actual sales by the chart company? For instance on the Ultimate UK Chart, we use 5% Streaming/5% Airplay to the Download factor. I think Big Top 40 is still only using iTunes sales v airplay (in a something like 75:25 ratio) & they haven't started including streaming yet.

Very interesting. He seems also to have used a 19 factor, for much of the 1985/89 in the Radio One Top 80 Of The 80s. It was actually 16 point something for 1976 (rounded up to 17 for the BMRB lists). A 20 was decreased for 17 in the 1970/75 period. Though a 20 has to be used for 78/79 period to get anywhere near the suggested sales figures.

Amazingly Brotherhood Of Man (going by this list) suggests 1.25m. Only 1.0052 according to the panel sales. Bumped up by 250,000. Then (whoever did put this together) misses out at least 3 other 1976 big sellers. Yes you've got shipments vs panel sales. With BMRB missing out tons of Independant stores & the other sales compilers (Record Business) missing out Woolworths, it's just pure speculation. Quite a turn around, as I suspect this was called "a chart that counts" in 1987. Whoever did compile it, should be ashamed of themselves. It is complete crap. Human League had past 900,000 by the week of 9th Jan 82. But sold less than 200,000 during the rest of 82. So, it's more like 1.1m for the 81/82 equation. Add a few more thousand for the next 3 years. Blondie depends on missing Independant stores information.

Had a look at it & the questions we need to ask are where are Under The Moon Of Love, Mississippi, Uptown Girl, Super Trouper, Woman In Love, Don't Go Breaking My Heart, If You Leave Me Now, Do You Really Want To Hurt Me, Vienna, One Day In Your Life, The Birdie Song, How Deep Is Your Love & Shaddup You Face? They lose Save Your Love, You Won't Find Another Fool Like Me, When A Child Is Born, You Can't Hurry Love, The Tide Is High, Starting Over, D.I.S.C.O. & My Coo Ca Choo due to the Christmas & New Year missed chart weeks. So the top 100 is really top 121. Fernando (at 100 here) is 695,000 in sales (I think). The next ones would be Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now (if 1987 has been included), Lily The Pink, Let's Dance, Total Eclipse Of The Heart, Freedom & True. 1967 - 72 is shipment based, with wrong multipliers for 1973 & 1975 (Stylistics on 700,000. Panel sales to 17 make it 550,000. So possibly shipments again). This beggars the question of Rod Stewart's shipments for "Sailing" in 1975. Shipped 700,000 in 75 & another 400,000 in 1976, but apparently only 955,000 in this list. 1976 (itself) seems to have lost a lot of records. 1977-79 is shipment based. 1980 - 82 is very shipment based. 1983 is to the Gallup stuff 17 multiplier (apart from missing Uptown Girl) 1984 is shipment based 1985 & 86 are an 18 multiplier 1987 may not be included at all It has to be pointed out that 1980 had a mistake in the year end BMRB Top 100. They got a panel figure wrong on Starting Over. It was placed at #10 in the year end list, but shoud really of been #17. Various lists have it wrong including lists by a couple of other people on UKMix & other sites. I think this was the final 20 on this Radio One 20th Anniversary: 20 Imagine 19 Last Waltz 18 Heart Of Glass 17 Bohemion Rhapsody 16 Power Of Love 15 YMCA 14 Save Your Kisses For Me 13 Careless Whisper 12 Karma Chameleon 11 Last Xmas 10 Don't You Want Me 9 Summer Nights 8 I Just Called To Say I Love You 7 Two Tribes 6 Relax 5 Mary's Boy Child-Oh My Lord 4 You're The One That I Want 3 Rivers Of Babylon 2 Mull Of Kintyre 1 Band Aid

All that's happened here is a straight chart panel sales sweep (without any multiplier or the same one 20 probably) combined with those "dreaded" everchanging shipment figures (which tend to add and lose 100,000 sales, without any continuity). I might check some of this. The Bucks Fizz titles are the wrong way around as in the NME Book. No missed week sales have been included, hence a John Lennon song is missing.

During the 1960s, record charts were not based on sales of any kind. Shops supplied the big music papers with lists of 50 records that were selling in that particular shop. The music papers (themselves) took up to 200 charts from various shops across the UK & Ireland & added all those shop charts together to create their own top 100s. Various top singles charts of the 1960s have been put together over the years, based on records that were shipped from factory to shop. They give an idea of what the top singles of the 1960s decade were, but they do not take into account the number of unsold records that were returned to the factories, as unsold material. We've had a look at some of those shipments, fed them into a database, looked at average sales by month, year by year in the 60s, decided what may or may have not been returned unsold to the factory. Then looked at 7 different sets of weekly 1960s singles charts to determine how singles were averagely doing & come up with the Top 200 of the 1960s. By doing this we hope to have a 1960s chart of the decade, that is probably more accurate than some that have been put together before. We must always remember though, that during the 60s, there was no chart based on sales & nothing official was ever put into useage.

Big Top 40 is rather a mess in compilation. Always has been. Between June & November 2013, Airplay was taken out of the chart & then it was re-instated in December at a smaller percentage. It used to be 50/50 sales/airplay. Now it's something like 75%/25%. There are many downsides to the show. Where new entries are missed out & not even mentioned & there are no re-caps in the 40 - 11 part. The only reasonable part of the countdown, is the 4pm start, where they play the top 10 of the week from iTunes. The rest is gobblygook at best. No matter, whether 2.4 million listen or not. Radio 1's countdown lacks inspiration too, but Big Top 40 needs to lose all airplay forever. It is nonsense.

But not willingl Especially if it happens to be a Debenhams, ay Dave!

Friday 3rd June Well is all re-entries this week. Well nearly! But on the 80% iTunes & 20% others. It's most likely looking this way tonight. With a quick mention that Judas & GaGa is the top physical, beating Depeche Mode with the Personal Jesus re-hash 2011.

No contest & another nearly 90,000 for them.

iTunes was 65% at the end of last year. Likely it's dropped off a bit since then. Amazon, Napster, Digital 7 all on the next biggest percentage. HMV, Tesco hardly worth a note, probably in line with the dead physical. Then you've got the hidden sales of Artists own sites & various other bits too.

Now I missed that Eric. Though on my figures, it will only push it up a position. So swap it with J.Lo & Pitbull & put it at 12. Britain's Got Talent too, so add in a some more. It sells 8,000 on top of that it still will only be #10.

Let's try this for a 3rd week. So far so good. Last week it showed the biggest climber would be Rihanna & the highest new entry would be Saturdays, & of course listeners to the Fresh Hit 40 would have found that out last Sunday, not yesterday. The basis is an average 80% quota for iTunes & a 20% one for the rest based on Monday/Sunday sales for week 22 for the last 5 years or so. 60 WHAT'S YOUR NAME - RIHANNA/DRAKE 1,896 59 HEY SOUL SISTER - TRAIN 1,902 58 SKINNY LOVE - BIRDY 57 WHEREVER YOU GO - CALLING 2,006 56 WHO'S THAT CHICK - RIHANNA 55 ONE - SWEDISH HOUSE MAFIA 2,072 54 BLACK AND YELLOW - WIZ KHALIFA 53 JUST THE WAY YOU ARE - BRUNO MARS 52 WE DON'T HAVE TO - JERMAINE STEWART 51 LOVE THE WAY - EMINEM AND RIHANNA 2,292 50 ALL OF THE LIGHTS - KANYE WEST 49 YOUR SONG - ELLI GOULDING 2,414 48 GRENADE - BRUNO MARS 2,504 47 WHO SAYS - SELENA GOMEZ 46 HELLO - MARTIN SOLVEIG 45 CHAMPION - CHIPMUNK 2,778 44 S & M - RIHANNA 43 BRIGHT LIGHTS - CEE LO GREEN 42 RAISE YOUR GLASS - PINK 2,838 41 FINISH LINE - YASMIN 40 DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH - NICOLE 39 JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH - BLACK EYED PEAS 38 UNORTHODOX - WRETCH 32 37 LOVE LOVE - TAKE THAT (RE-ENTRY) 3,172 36 PRICE TAG - JESSIE J 35 GUILT - NERO 34 BUSY - OLLY MURS (NEW) 33 FAST CAR - TRACY CHAPMAN 32 BUZZIN - MANN 31 DON'T STOP THE PARTY - BLACK EYED PEAS (NEW) 3,942 30 TIME - CHASE AND STATUS 29 YEAH 3X - CHRIS BROWN 28 ET - KATY PERRY 27 ROLLING IN THE DEEP - ADELE 26 DIRTY TALK - WYNTER GORDON 25 RUN THE WORLD - BEYONCE 24 SUPER BASS - NICKI MINAJ 23 SOMEONE LIKE YOU - ADELE 22 SUN IS UP - INNA 21 NOTORIOUS - SATURDAYS (BIGGEST FALLER) 6,010 20 EDGE OF GLORY - LADY GAGA 6,390 19 BORN THIS WAY - LADY GAGA 6.546 18 ONE BIG FAMILY - TEMPLE CLOUD 17 SAVE THE WORLD - SWEDISH HOUSE MAFIA 16 WHAT A FEELING - ALEX GAUDINO (NEW) 7,642 15 BASS DOWN LOW - DEV 14 RIGHT THERE - NICOLE 13 NOBODY'S PERFECT - JESSIE J 12 ON THE FLOOR - J.LO/PITBULL 11 JUDAS - LADY GAGA 8,658 10 WHERE THEM GIRLS AT - DAVID GUETTA & CO 09 I'M INTO YOU - LOPEZ & LIL' 08 SWEAT - SNOOP DOGG 07 BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE - CHRIS & BENNY 06 CALIFORNIA KING BED - RIHANNA (HIGHEST CLIMBER) 14,638 05 PARTY ROCK ANTHEM - LMFAO 04 MR SAXOBEAT - ALEXANDRA STAN 03 LAZY SONG - BRUNO MARS 17,890 02 I NEED A DOLLAR - ALOE BLACC 01 GIVE ME EVERYTHING - PITBULL & CO 6,200 ahead on my calculations A big hands on for tomorrow's midweek positions.

Another Friday, another chart. How have things faired up to this point in our 80% iTunes & 20% other sites & a smidging of physicals, that aren't worth even a mention this week because it only takes a few hundred for Judas to be the biggest physical of the week. So straight to the top 75 bit.

The Saturdays are sitting ahead of number 10 by 2,000 but are in front of Judas for the week on iTunes by more than that in any case, if you get my drift. Dilemma of the week ~ If you are on a bus & there is a tin can rolling around the floor, do you pick it up?

Monday 23rd May 2011 Tried this last week. It kind of worked. Some liked it. Some thought it was good, some thought not. But hey ho, let's do it again. Based on an 80% load from iTunes, plus 20% of other sites quota & a handful of physicals for yesterday & today. 60 FIREWORK - KATY PERRY 59 BLIND FAITH - CHASE & STATUS 10) 58 GO YOUR OWN WAY - FLEETWOOD MAC 57 TAKE IT BACK - TODDLA T 56 SONGBIRD - GLEE 55 LOVE LOVE - TAKE THAT 54 TILL THE WORLD ENDS - BRITNEY 53 HARD TIMES - ELTON JOHN/PALOMA FAITH/PLAN B (NEW) 1,984 52 JUST THE WAY YOU ARE - BRUNO 9) 51 GO YOUR OWN WAY - GLEE 50 HUSH HUSH - ALEXIS JORDAN (NEW) 2,048 49 DON'T STOP THE PARTY - BLACK EYED PEAS (NEW) 2,076 48 WHO'S THAT CHICK - RIHANNA 47 BLACK AND YELLOW - WIZ KHALIFA 46 YEAH 3X - CHRIS BROWN 45 GRENADE - BRUNO 44 ROLL UP - WIZ KHALIFA 43 ALL OF THE LIGHTS - KANYE & RIHANNA 42 HELLO - MARTIN SOLVEIG 8) 41 SUPERBASS - NICKI MINAJ 40 WHO SAYS - SELENA GOMEZ (NEW) 2,995 39 DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH - NICOLE 38 S & M - RIHANNA 37 FAST CAR - TRACY CHAPMAN 36 JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH - BLACK EYED PEAS 35 PRICE TAG - JESSIE J 7) 34 SKINNY LOVE - BIRDY 33 HAIR - LADY GAGA 32 BRIGHT LIGHTS BIGGER CITY - CEE LO GREEN 31 ROLLING IN THE DEEP - ADELE 6) 30 TIME - CHASE & STATUS & DELILAH 5) 29 GUILT - NERO 4) 28 WE DON'T HAVE TO TAKE OUR CLOTHES OFF - JERMAINE STEWART 27 BUZZIN - MANN & 50CENT 26 UNORTHODOX - WRETCH 32 25 FINISH LINE - YASMIN 24 CALIFORNIA KING BED - RIHANNA (HIGHEST CLIMBER) 4,251 23 RUN THE WORLD - BEYONCE (RE-ENTRY) 4,566 22 ET - KATY & KANYE 21 DIRTY TALK - WYNTER GORDON 20 SUN IS UP - INNA 19 BORN THIS WAY - LADY GAGA 3) 18 SOMEONE LIKE YOU - ADELE 17 BASS DOWN LOW - DEV 16 RIGHT THERE - NICOLE 15 NOBODY'S PERFECT - JESSIE J 14 I'M INTO YOU - J.LO & LIL' WAYNE 13 EDGE OF GLORY - LADY GAGA 12 ON THE FLOOR - J.LO & PITBULL 11 MR SAXOBEAT - ALEXANDRA STAN 10 WHERE THEM GIRLS AT - GUETTA/FLO RIDA/MINAJ 09 SAVE THE WORLD - SWEDISH HOUSE MAFIA 08 JUDAS - LADY GAGA 2) 07 SWEAT - SNOOP DOGG & DAVID GUETTA 06 NOTORIOUS - SATURDAYS (NEW) 10,643 05 BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE - CHRIS & BENNY 04 I NEED A DOLLAR - ALOE BLACC 03 ROCK THE PARTY - LMFAO 02 LAZY SONG - BRUNO MARS 1) 01 GIVE ME EVERYTHING - PITBULL/NE-YO/AFROJACK/NAYER ) Without Downloads Alone Pretty much static top 5 there, & of course pretty much the same as the chart we counted down last night across the net, with Jason Scott. No physical for the Saturdays to push them further though.

Previously to OCC (who are not Chart Compilers, by the way), it was CIN (Chart Information Network). Both over see the charts. Today's compilers are Milward Brown (since 1993). They are a market research company. Actually BMRB was swallowed up by them, about 5 years ago. In the 70s & 80s, a chart single had a shelf life of 3 years before being deleted. It something like say "I'm Gonna Run Away From You" by Tami Lynn for instance, became popular again (because it were being played on the Northern Soul Scene). Then basically a cost saving measure, was to re-press it from the original. Hence the same catalogue number etc, & the same date on it, even though it was not correct. Another example being "Your Honour" & Pluto. 1976 original pressing (on some copies) actually had the actual Autumn date of release on it, even though it was re-released in February 1982.

Pitbull really crashed at 11443 on iTunes for Wednesday's 24 hour period, after 4731 on Tuesday & 4573 on Monday, though was back to 5170 for Thursday. Bruno was 3519 for Thursday, with 5189 on Monday, 4315 on Tuesday, but 8269 on Wednesday. Wednesday seems to have been the peak for them both. Average trends tell me that nothing will clear 60,000 this week. Then next week, we gotta keep our eyes on Aloe Blacc, he could do it in the end, as he's very close to the top 3 by a whisker.

25 years on? Are you sure? I must admit I did not realise until this afternoon that Jermaine was dead. Then discovered it was an AIDS related Liver failure in 1997.
