We're a dying breed! Good to know I'm not alone! :D

Yep!

Just for the record, HMV Dundee sold out of Bowie's new album this morning. Some of his previous CD's are on display at the front door. :)

Those were the days! 2 great tracks. :)

And of course, that was back in the day when we had to get a bus into town to buy a physical copy of the single! :)

Pricilla Presley's been cropping up on a few shows in the last few days doing promotion.

Ooh, 'Glitterball' missed the top 3!! That's a shame.

'Cheerleader' on it's way back to No.1!!! :D :P

Me neither! :(

Still like 'Waiting for Love' but I reckon Avicii's been using this formula a bit too long now! :D

Jason's chart decline recovering quite well!! B-)

Good track from John. Shame it's falling so fast.

Yep, it hasn't had the overplay like some of his singles!

Yep, it's still messing with my head. Every Friday at this time I start believing it's Sunday!! :D

Cheers. That's a pity. :(

Wasn't Will Young's single released this week? I didn't see it in the top 100 in the mids! :unsure:

Agreed James. Scott reminds me of the way the chart used to be presented. Straight to the point and informative at the same time. :)

Ooh, talk of Reggie brings back memories of that 'Chart Numbers Game' he used to do!! Shudders!!!! :hithead:

That was fantastic. :) I remember when the likes of 'Turtle Power' (1990) and 'Axel F' by bloody Crazy Frog (2005)' were doing chart injustice! Don't even mention Robson and Jerome!! :o

Yep after spending the last 4 weeks of 1988 at No.2 behind Cliff it didn't really look like it would make the top. Made No.1 for the first 3 weeks of '89. :)

It certainly is the end of an era today. I've been listening to the Radio 1 Sunday Top 40 since December 1980 when I was 11 years old and Tony Blackburn was the presenter. I've lived through so many changes in music over the years good and bad! Fave chart battles were Blur/Oasis and the Christmas chart when Rage Against The Machine kept Joe off the top that week! That was awesome! Not forgetting when Kate Nash's 'Foundations' spent 5 non-consecutive weeks at No.2. I think on one occasion she missed No.1 by just 16 copies behind Timbaland's 'The Way I Are' and she also missed out to Rihanna's 'Umbrella by something like 32 copies. She was really unlucky! Just to say a big thanks to the mods and all the posters on here. I don't post regularly but I come on here most weeks. You guys and girls are fantastic, your posts are always entertaining and informative at the same time. Some of you are hilarious and it always adds to the enjoyment of the chart. I got us a shoutout on Clara's second week (I think). Tried with Jameela but she wasn't having any of it!! :jameela: Maybe catch some of you on Friday's occassionally. :)
