Sorry-Madonna March 2006

Got every one physically since 1980 and loads earlier but have them all on some format or other🤪

Great fun! Thanks for all of your hard work! :yahoo:

How do I DM you? Like this?

What has happened to Lucy Spraggan? Album gone and single unable to access?

Well it's 10.00am and it's #3 already. Bought it, like it but like Rihanna & Britney more!!! :D

Albums OMD-History of Modern...it's brilliant as easily as good as their early stuff :dance: Seal-6 Committment-a real grower -_- Singles Bruno Mars :)

i love this track, poppy and interesting, #1 in USA twice so we'll follow..good track :P :P

Have all the old Guinness books and the new Virgin singles (pants), albums (100 times better) and now have the updated Top 40 book, fascinating reading and well over due!

Leona by a mile, she was stunning on X Factor (as were BEPs) she has a wider slice of the market and she's great too!! BTW where do physical sales count from? I can only buy physicals from HMV... :funky:

Singles: Alexandra Burke Bad Boys Albums: Alexandra Burke Overcome (enjoying the urban vibe with classic diva ballads) Whitney Houston (this is such a great album I'm blown away really loving her power!) Michael Buble (liked the single!!!!)

Does anyone know if either David Guetta's Sexy Bitch or Jay-Z's Run This Town will get a physical release? If not they are the 4th and 5th #1 singles in the Uk to be unavailable as singles following Mint Royale, Coldplay and Leona Lewis last year. :unsure:

Why Whitney as a flop? I don't understand? i love the Aqua 'Back To The 80's' single...#1 i predict :D

It never happened in the7 0s or 80's and is likely to happen twice this year by the same artist which must be unique. I gotta feeling you may recall these other returners from the 90s ... 1. Shakira featuring Wyclef Jean, "Hips Don't Lie" :wub: was number one for a single week in July 2006, before returning to the top for the whole of August. The records in the middle were "Smile" by Lily Allen (rather good), and a McFly double A-side, "Please Please"/"Don't Stop Me Now" (almost totally forgotten, but it was a charity single for Sport Relief). 2. Eric Prydz, "Call On Me" :dance: A Europe-wide dance hit with a video that spawned a bunch of imitators paying similar lip-service to the concept of irony. (One even hired the same dancers.) The sample is from "Valerie" by Steve Winwood. It was number 1 in October 2004. The interrupting single was "Radio" by Robbie Williams, which I haven't heard in ages, but it's one of his better ones. 3. Daniel Bedingfield, "Gotta Get Thru This." This UK garage record kickstarted the career of New Zealand songwriter Daniel Bedingfield, who subsequently turned out to be more of an MOR balladeer. He hasn't released anything since 2005, but his sister Natasha seems to have taken his place. "Gotta Get Thru This" was number one at Christmas/New Year 2001-2, and the interrupting single was the Christmas release "Somethin' Stupid" by Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman. 4. S Club 7, "Don't Stop Movin'" :yahoo: S Club 7 were a Monkees-style pseudo-band created for a BBC children's show, but they did have some reasonably good material. Occasionally. Strangely, their only American hit was "Never Had A Dream Come True" (no, me neither), but they did have international success in Australasia and parts of Europe. One of them, Rachel Stevens, went on to a middling career as a solo artist. "Don't Stop Movin" was a hit in spring 2001, and the interrupting single was "It's Raining Men" by Geri Halliwell. 5. All Saints, "Under the Bridge"/"Lady Marmalade" :puke2: Girl band All Saints were huge in the late nineties, and this was the second of their five number 1 singles. Their only significant American hit was the previous single, "Never Ever". Good choice, America. There's really no excuse for this plodding R&B rendition of the Red Hot Chili Peppers classic. Their version of "Lady Marmalade" is better, but hardly essential, and nobody's felt the need to play it since Moulin Rouge came out. The videos are designed to be watched back to back, and were actually given a cinema release as a supporting feature - they were booed when I saw them. The band's career eventually sputtered out in a disastrously unsuccessful film, and an attempted relaunch in 2006 got nowhere. This self-proclaimed epic was number 1 in May 1998. The interrupting record was "Turn Back Time" by Aqua, the theme tune to romantic comedy Sliding Doors. 6. Celine Dion, "My Heart Will Go On", :( from February and March 1998. As everyone knows, this is the theme to Titanic. I can't stand it. The records in the middle were "Frozen" by Madonna, and the video below, "Brimful of Asha" by Cornershop (on the strength of the Norman Cook remix, of course). 7. Various artists, "Perfect Day." In 1997, the BBC made a promotional schedule-filler video about how great their music coverage was, and roped in a whole load of singers to take part. For reasons which remain somewhat obscure, the song they chose was Lou Reed's drug anthem "Perfect Day." (The subtext may have been missed.) By genuine public demand, the record was released as a charity single for Christmas 1997, and returned to the top in New Year 1998. It's a very strange record, but for some reason Middle England was enchanted. The interrupting singles were "Too Much" by the Spice Girls and this pester-powered classic. 8. Puff Daddy & Faith Evans, "I'll Be Missing You." The summer 1997 tribute to the late Notorious B.I.G., inexplicably commemorated with a cover version of a song about stalkers. As the British mainstream record-buyer had been wholly indifferent to him in life, this record presumably sold on its perceived intrinsic merits. The interrupting single was "D'You Know What I Mean" by Oasis (the one that sounds like all the other ones). 9-10. The Fugees, "Killing Me Softly" / David Baddiel, Frank Skinner & The Lightning Seeds, "Three Lions." These two singles actually alternated back and forth in summer 1996, and so they hold the unique distinction of interrupting each other's runs at the top. Most people will remember "Killing Me Softly", the Fugees' cover of an old Roberta Flack song. Those outside Britain will probably be unfamiliar with "Three Lions", the official song of the England team for the Euro 96 tournament. With lyrics by comedians Baddiel and Skinner (who were hosting a football comedy show at the time), set to music by the Lightning Seeds, it's actually a surprisingly good song about England fans clinging on to hope even though they haven't won anything in years. For any Americans who might be wondering, the "Jules Rimet" is what the World Cup was called back in the sixties, when England had last won it. 11. Mr Blobby, "Mr Blobby." :w00t: Less-than-fondly-remembered 1993 novelty single spawned by Noel Edmonds' Saturday evening family entertainment show. Mr Blobby was meant to be a parody of badly-conceived novelty characters, but was so inexplicably popular that he simply became one in his own right. The record that interrupted his run, bizarrely, was "Babe" by Take That, which only managed to stall the novelty juggernaut for a week. What were people thinking when they paid money for this?

For me it's simple...download and suffer a crash and your purchases may be gone. Own the physical and you have it forever

yeh...great...bought the guinness one from years ago upto 95 i think. top 40 is the most popular part of chart Radio 1 etc. i'll be buying! :D

Will Young 'Let It Go' James Morrison 'Songs For You...'

Been buying since 1982, then back tracked, have all physical #1s since 1980 and many before. Transferred all to year by year CDs. Finding it very difficult now as ASDA, TESCO, WHSmiths, Woolies, Our Price, Virgin etc etc no longer either exist or sell singles. How do you put a download on the shelf with your CDs? :w00t:

Midweeks do spoil the charts, who would have seen Madonna's rise to #1 without them? Perhaps we are all finding them less interesting because we are all getting older, because older people can influence charts with downloads more or simply because there is a dirth of talent? <_<

I have them all 11-69 on CD, 1-10 on vinyl, OMG I'm getting old...25 years where did they go? :cry:

Not surprised by the results here but why then are singles not selling? I see the format now on offer for £1 as a one track CD but downloads still way ahead. CDs look great on a shelf as a collection

OMG JT will live comfortably forever just on the royalties of his collaborations. He's only on the new Madonna single as well. Offical Charts Company? NO!!! The Timbaland/Timberlake singles chart is just around the corner

So Love in this Club vaults from 51 to #1 in USA. It's a great album return with plenty of Timbaland and Justin collaborations. How do you all think it will do in the UK? I think a #1 for sure.

Not great :yahoo: fedback on Youtube. This song is a real grower, expect top 10

Some good guesses, actually there are altogether a total of 341 #s on 67 albums.
