It was always known as the official chart as there were other charts around at the time. This chart was published in the now defunct Record Mirror magazine from 1962 until its demise in 1991. Other charts that were around at the time included the BBC chart until 1969 also in magazines such as Disc & Music Echo, Melody Maker and NME still have their own chart. There were big discrepancies between the charts. the most famous one was from 1963. Single in question was Beatles - Please Please Me. The Record Retailer chart had it peaking at #2 whilst the other 3 magazines has them peaking at #1.

Record Retailer (now Music Week) became the official UK charts publisher from this week in 1960. It took over the reigns from NME (who published the charts from the beginning in November 1952) and became Top 50. The chart stayed as Top 50 (with few exceptions) until 6 May 1978 when it became Top 75. The chart then stayed as Top 75 until 1983 when it became Top 100 until April 1991 when due to a decline in singles sales it reverted back to Top 75. From 17 April 2005, the official UK Singles Chart incorporated legal downloads as well as physical sales and reverted back to Top 100. The chart is now actually Top 200 but only the Top 100 are published as the official charts by the OCC. Anyone interested in this chart from March 1960 can see it HERE

Has to be Little Boots - Miley Cyrus - Daughtry

Obviously someone who doesn't like music.

Mariah also recorded Against All Odds solo (this is the version I have) but had to buy on import as the solo version wasn't released in the UK. I bought my copy from Germany. The version with Westlife wasn't released in mainland Europe. (They obviously have more taste). The solo version is miles better.

What the hell!! :puke2:

Do you think there be a charity single for Chile? Would it chart so soon after the Haiti singles?

Pretty much same for me except I don't like Crystal 1. Lilly 2. Didi 3. Siobahn 4. Katie 5. Casey

Great band From classics such as Go Now and Boulevard De La Madelaine to the haunting Nights In White Satin Nights In White Satin was a hit on 3 seperate occasions - #19 in 1967 - #9 in 1972 - #14 in 1979 My favourite is the brilliant QUESTION - #2 in 1970 from the album A Question Of Balance. I think they were the first band to use the Mellotron. The Mellotron is an electro-mechanical, polyphonic keyboard originally developed and built in Birmingham, England in the early 1960s. The heart of the instrument is a bank of parallel linear magnetic audio tapes, which have approximately eight seconds of playing time each. Playback heads underneath each key enable the playing of pre-recorded sounds. Mellotrons were normally pre-loaded with string instrument and orchestral sounds, although the model 400's tape bank could be removed with relative ease by the owner and loaded with banks containing different sounds including percussion loops, sound effects, or synthesizer-generated sounds, to generate polyphonic electronically generated sounds in the days before polyphonic synthesizers. This was how the Moody's got there orchestral and background voices.

I totally agree with guys but neither of these 2 girls should have gone Tyler's was a horrible version of the 1970 Guess Who classic and Joe - I couldn't tell a word. As for the girls it should have been Haeley Vaughn & Michelle Delamor. When Haeley Vaughn was on even our cat hissed and went to hide.

I agree with your 5 of your Top 6 girls. I would put Janell Wheeler instead of Crystal. Also the same with the guys - I would put Andrew Garcia instead of Michael Lynche. I think Michael will get the sympathy vote though.

You can see the complete Top 50 HERE

I hate with a passion Jedward, JLS, McFly and Westlife who are all totally non-talented. Also all the Hip Hop stuff which to me is just a bore and all sounds the same.

I sincerely hope it's a massive hit but i'll wait for the album If rubbish JLS can hit then talented Diana really deserves it :wub:

My faves were The Twins I wouldn't kick either of them out of bed in a hurry :wub:

ITV have axed Heartbeat and The Royal due to lack of finances - yet they spend money on Katie Price. I don't know what anyone sees in that ugly slapper. The sight of her makes me want to :puke2:

I think it should be girls year. I think there are more talented girl than guys. I vote for Lilly and Siobahn as the finalists. Sadly now Lilly has gone I vote for Crystal in her place. The only girls I DON'T like are Haeley, and Michelle The only guys I like are Casey & Michael Top 12 Girls Ashley Rodriguez Crystal Bowersox Didi Benami Haeley Vaughn Janell Wheeler Katelyn Epperly Katie Stevens Lacie Brown Lilly Scott Michelle Delamor Paige Miles Siobahn Magnus Top 12 Guys Aaron Kelly Alex Lambert Andrew Garcia Casey James Jermaine Sellers Joe Munoz John Park Lee Dewyze Michael Lynche Tim Urban Todrick Hall Tyler Grady
