I remember watching TOTP when Stardust got to No.2. As there was no promo, they shot their own video of this girl dancing along to it with animation in the background or something like that. Guess it was like going back to the days of Pan's People/Legs & Co when there were hardly any music videos and the act couldn't perform in the studio so they brought on the dancing girls. Well, dancing girl in this case!!

1 cookie on its way Martin! :lol:

Bryan Adams spent 4 weeks at No.11 with Run To You in 1985 Chart Run: 74-41-28-18-{11}-11-11-11-17-27-36-66 (12 wks) He didn't hit the top 10 until 1991 - I bet you can't guess what that song was ^_^

I think Duffy will be number one in the next few weeks :)

4th December 1982 UK - Beat Surrender by The Jam US - Truly by Lionel Richie ^_^

I remember listening to the charts on a Sunday when Bruno Brookes did it and I even remember Mark Goodier announcing Bryan Adams getting his 16th week at No.1 with "Everything I Do (I Do It For You)". I started writing down the charts in Sep 1997 when Elton John went straight to the top with "Candle In The Wind 1997". I was listening to it for the first time in years but I wanted to listen to this one because the single was only released the previous day so I just wanted to see if it got to the top. For some reason, I just grabbed a pen and a piece of paper, wrote 1 to 40 down the page and wrote down the songs as quick as I could. I wrote them all down until 2004 when I started putting them on my PC. First post and I waffle on!! lol
