I don't know why you have started a new thread to announce this when you could have just updated your previous thread http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=268966

Texas Hold Em by Beyonce number 1 for 4th week on sales of 53,005. Stick Season by Noah Kahan would have reclaimed the number 1 spot tonight if not on ACR with SCR sales of 57,152 but number 7 on ACR sales of 29,192.

On the 30th September, you mention about Smokie and Roy Chuby Brown climbing from 8 - 5. In fact, that 3 place climb was the only climber in the entire top 75 1 climber 1 non mover 44 down 29 new entries The late 90s were a period of lots of new entries but most of them going straight in then straight down. Discounting singles on week of release then upping the price on week 2 didn't help

Tonight Texas Hold Em by Beyonce is the new number 1 with sales of 59,272. Stick Season is number 5 on ACR sales of 34,406 however it would be number 1 if still on SCR with 67,171.

Another long gap - the actor Mike Reid Mar 1975 - The Ugly Duckling - number 10 Apr 1999 - The More I See You - number 46 - duet with Eastenders co-star Barbara Windsor 24 years

How about Prince Buster Feb 67 - Al Capone - number 18 Apr 98 - Whine and Grine - number 21 31 year gap between first 2 hits. Whine and Grine became a hit due to being featured in a Levi jeans ad.

To danG Do you get the Music Week Chartpack which is sent just after 8pm every Friday. It tells you every song in the top 75 that has increased sales - you can work out which songs have not increased sales in the past week as well. Alan Jones doesn't give the sales figures for every song.

Cruel Summer has increased overall sales by 1737 this week so I assume its back to zero weeks of decline - that will annoy a certain person on this thread !!

Just a quick note to say that BBC4 have changed their schedule for tomorrow - no 1995 shows tomorrow night - instead, 4 retro shows featuring Steve Wright.

It's also hilarious how certain people on here get so wound up about it ( see top of the page ) !!

We have had the provisional schedule for the 2nd February and I can confirm 1995 will return on that day with a double bill from 7pm.

We have had the provisional BBC4 schedule for the 19th January and they are still celebrating the 60th Birthday of Top of the Pops with an evening of shows from 1984 to 1988 so the 1995 shows will not resume until at least the 26th January but probably later.

This Friday we will have the last 1995 double bill for at least 5 weeks. We have Christmas and New Year - then on the 5th January BBC4 will be celebrating 60 years of Top of the Pops with an evening of 1970s shows - on tne 12th January we will have an evening of 1980 shows with The Story of 1980 and the Big Hits Compilations from 1980 / 81/82/83/84 So 1995 will not return until at least the 19th January

On your summary of the 15th July, you say that Happy by MN8 is a cover of a song by Surface from 1987. The song was first recorded in 1984 as You Make Me Happy by Hi - Tension.

To avoid confusion with the British folk group The Spinners, the US soul group The Spinners were called The Detroit Spinners , however their first hit was under the name The Motown Spinners - also in 1995 I'll Be Around was sampled on I'll Be Around by Rappin 4-Tay featuring The Spinners , their original name so 3 different names for the same act.

Elvis Costello charted as himself and "The Imposter" with Pills and Soap.

Tonight Jack Harlow is number 1 for a 3rd week with Lovin On Me ( 55,128 ) Wham! are number 5 with Last Christmas on ACR figures of 28,638 however they would be number 1 if not on ACR on pre adjusted sales of 56,914.

Confirmation that Simon Mayo gets paid £35 for a Top of the Pops repeat from 1995 !! https://twitter.com/greatesthitsuk/status/1...180269567652202

Re the Radio 1 presenters Mark Goodier - 6 shows to go until March 96 Simon Mayo - 6 shows to go until August 96 Bruno Brookes - 1 show to go in April 95 Nicky Campbell - 8 episodes to go up to Jan 97 John Peel will present an episode in December 1995 as an excuse to show show him the This Is Your Life big red book. Steve Lamacq and Jo Whiley will present their first show together in September 1995 We have Lisa iAnson still to start her 5 episodes plus Chris Evans presents one show at the end of April. Talking of Chris Evans and as you mention Britpop , the first song next Friday is a Britpop anthem and was turned into a jingle on Chris Evans Radio 1 Breakfast Show.

Not sure if you were aware but the top 40 announced on the 2nd March show is incorrect - positions 9 and 10 are the wrong way round in the top 10 - there were another 20 errors between 11 and 40 due to the chart having to be re-run but TOTP still used the wrong chart.

Bad news - MN8 will be first up on show 2 on Friday night !!

The schedule for the 22nd September has now been released and we will definitely be skipping the 9th February 1995 edition of Top of the Pops presented by the late actor Gary Olsen. The reason for this is that the video to Bump N Grind by R Kelly was played during the chart rundown from 40-11 and the BBC won't skip the chart rundown so the episode has to go.

The 5th and 12th January 1995 episodes were shown on Friday 14th July - we have had a Proms concert every Friday since.

Confirmation that on the 15th September we will have the 19th January and the 26th January 1995 episodes from 7pm. R Kelly will be edited out the 19th January show.

ACR has denied Sprinter a 12th week at number 1 tonight - its ACR sales are 21,300 however if still on SCR, sales would be 42,431 compared to the number 1 by Dua Lipa with sales of 41,204.
