It would be nice to have a chart with a decent amount of new entries in again! *still reeling from this week's mids*

"Denial" non-mover from Sunday, down 1 from yesterday

7+7 is correct Hannah Montana's album is a new live concert recording??? (The other album counted as a multi-artist soundtrack and was classed as a compilation)

Up 5 from Sunday

Britney up 9 from Sunday, up 2 from yesterday Soulja Boy is climbing by default - there are still only 2 new entries to the Top 40 Girls Aloud album up 1 from yesterday - still Top 20, single is down 5 from Sunday

Madonna is number one! More details to follow...

No Kylie in either Top 40. When we get Top 200s we will give you the info. Britney's single isn't in Woolworths (for the first time in her career). It looks like the album is benefiting rather than the single.

Yep, The Chart Show definitely never had The Bangles at #1 - they were #2 behind Madonna, then Simply Red then Kylie. In those days it was very rare for something to debut at #1 on The Chart Show chart - especially if it did so without it being matched by the Gallup chart the following day. The Chart Show chart did seem like a midweek chart, but I think it also picked up sales from the previous Friday and Saturday, thus causing new releases to chart lower in their first week. Throughout 1987-1988 they always had the number of hours and minutes listed since the chart was published (usually about 2-3 hours), thus earning its tag as "The Fastest Chart On Television"!!!

Dale counted down this chart on Pick Of The Pops today on Radio 2. You can hear it for the next 7 days on the Listen Again facility on the Raio 2 website. The week ending date of this chart - 15th April 1989 - was also the day of the Hillsborough disaster. A great chart, but those songs also remind of me that too. (EDITS: As Robbie also mentions in the MRIB thread too)

It's one of the soundbeds for the new Ministry Of Sound "Garage Classics." That album is the only place it can be downloaded from on iTunes. It hasn't been available before last week, apparently.

Just further discounting, I think. £5 in pretty much every store, not just selected ones.

Just outside Top 20. Expect Top 20 in today's update

They sneaked into the 40 on Wednesday, but then dipped back out again

"CYH" was still Top 50 on Tuesday. "WHTM" was actually Top 90 - it was "ETWT" that was Top 160. My mistake!
