I remember seeing that N-Dubs singer on the previous series of Never Mind the Buzzcocks, seemed a right t*** to me.

and then the very first week of 1999 Steps made number one with a 1998 single, the charts were bombarded with pop from there onwards.

They apparently played it loads in a local club for 3 years running. The horrible shouting on the track, and music video with the massive patato head were well beyond shocking.

Made number 21 I think, when it was released from the "Bad" album. I think he was on a world tour at the time, so couldn't promote it at the same time. It made number two on the old Network Chart when Glenn Medeiros was number one. I used to have the chart on an old tape, Everything But the Girl were in there also.

But in recent times they've only been a fanbase act here in the UK. It'll be interesting to see where the album drops to in the second week.

So AC/DC's chart-topping span is now 28 years, a remarkable achievement :D, who would have thought it after "Stiff Upper Lip" was only a fanbase album.

As long as you like it, that's all that matters at the end of the day :D. Every track on Geneva's two albums were brilliant, I'd love them to reform.

Don't mock Go West!!, they were pretty damn good, the self-titled album from 1985 is one of my guilty pleasures!!. Anyways, here's a few of my fave golden oldies, so what if Feeder are not on the same level as some of these bands the media hype and radio 1 play to death. As long as Feeder are making enough profits to make more and more albums, and selling enough gig tickets to put food on the table, and continue to make music that I love, I'm happy, charts-schmarts!. "Sometimes the whole point of being into indie music is that you don't want your favourite bands to get big, you want them to be your own little secret. Who wants trendies high jacking our music, eh?"- youtube comment on Geneva's "Best Regrets" video. First up, Feeder's top 40 debut from 1997. w5k6F2kRkOI Suede- Animal Nitrate (1993) XaEc_5abpfA Geneva- "Best Regrets" (1997) NMIfugHop94

PPFFFTTT!!!!, bring back the ITV Chart Show!!, and it was the beginning of the end for TOTP when they switched it to Fridays just because of the Atlanta 1996 olympic coverage, and said they would change it back to Thursday afters, but never did, this meant a major ITV soap getting in the way, I do have a lot of happy memories watching the show late at night after coming back from the pubs tho, as I couldn't see it on Friday evenings. I remember in August 1999, they shown it on Thursday once, and that was when they did that TOTP tour in which each week it would be from a different city/town. If it does come back, make sure it's on for an hour like the European counterpart.

Exactly, and the lead singer looks like one of my best mates :D.

Their last 2 singles from their previous album, both missed the top 40, with the last one missing the top 75. Scissor sisters sold more copies of their album, but still managed to get the 3rd and 4th singles from that release into the top 50, with the 3rd making the top 20. It kinda proves Razorlight are declining in interest.

Only cos you start in the first place, there's an old saying that goes "If you don't want punishment, don't go dishing it out".

I think someone wants to make them a wooden disc! :lol:.

Exactly, it's a free world.

Funeral For a Friend looking certain to get 4 top 20 albums in 5 years!, pretty damn impressive achievement that, and they're not even mainstream.

Tell me about it, one person on another charts forum kept on at me, and it got to a point where I had enough and left in April of this year. Everyone else on that board was really nice, apart from the aforementioned, and one other bully who was just like him. Names won't be mentioned but I guess some of you are aware of it. I have never ever insulted anyone because of the artists they like, what I and other people like is none of their business. It's a very low way to stoop.

Even if they don't, but get a good chart run, it'll be quite unique.

Give me the Sundays over the Sugababes any day!!! :D :D :D.

Definetly, I laughed so much at all those Mcfly drops!. A number one with a short chart span is laughable, I will excuse the Manic's 2000 number one tho, cos that was limited edition, and even had a longer chart run than "Baby's Coming Back", and that wasn't limited!lol!. Let's not forget that a few of the Elvis re-issues did better!, and Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now" sold more than that McFly single in 2007, without going top 100!. But it's prolly cos Oasis fans are not dedicated single buyers anymore, or that not many people download them, and this is their first single since the 2007 rule change, which has allowed downloads to dominate the market.

:D :D :D :dance: :dance: :dance: They'll be around for a while yet!.

The album is selling, that's all that matters, anyone who thinks the singles chart is the be-all-and-end-all of an artists career is talking out of their *BEEP!*.

Yeah, that is worrying, and it's also where most of the profit/revenue in an act is generated. A band can have a string of top 10's with a few number ones added into the mix, but for a pop band i.e. Blazing Squad, it won't definetly mean your albums will sell.

Why's everyone relishing the drop of Oasis?!, their album is still selling strong and they're one of the most important bands this country has ever produced.

Just when people were rubbishing them as if they're the pop version of Gay Dad, (one massive hit, nothing afters and fade into obscurity despite the music press hyping them up) they come up with an even bigger hit for the follow-up. Good on them.
