trevs

Do you permanently wear a baseball cap, and cheap jewellery then John?! :D

We were quite kind in placing them at 10, I thought! :D The figures, we got on the physical pre-order, is way behind the downloads. Sometimes, downloads are a good thing, in stopping the likes of McFly, Westlife etc!

The beginning of another week, and a preview of what might happen, on next Sunday`s charts. With thanks to, the help of Peter Jay, and John McManus in their stores for info, on pre-orders. All put together, from info from HMV, ASDA, WOOLWORTHS, WHSMITH, ZAVVI, SAINSBURY, and TESCO. Add in download sites, at iTunes, HMV, TESCO, NAPSTER, and we come up with an average selection of album, and singles charts. Last week, in the Singles we did absolutely spiffingly well, because for the first time in 19 years, got 40 out of 40 in the chart, 30 in the 30 (although not all in the right order). We had 18 in the 20, and 9 in the 10, and the top 4 exact! On the album front we had 26 in the 30, 18 in the 20, and 7 in the top 10. Starting today, here is the album preview... 01 NE NOW YOU`RE GONE - BASSHUNTER 02 01 VIVA LA VIDA - COLDPLAY 03 03 MAMMA MIA - OST/VARIOUS 04 02 ROCKFERRY - DUFFY 05 04 CLUBLAND 13 - VARIOUS 06 06 R + B THE LOVE COLLECTION - VARIOUS 07 08 MASSIVE REGGAE - VARIOUS 08 NE MELODY - SHARLEEN SPITERI 09 05 EXCLUSIVE - CHRIS BROWN 10 07 ULTIMATE STREET DANCE - VARIOUS 11 14 WE SAID NOTHING - TING TINGS 12 12 BACK TO BLACK - AMY WINEHOUSE 13 NE ULTIMATE DISCO PARTY - VARIOUS 14 09 CHILLED 91 - 08 - VARIOUS 15 15 MY SONGS - VARIOUS 16 32 ALL THE RIGHT REASONS - NICKELBACK 17 13 PARTIE TRAUMATIC - BLACK KIDS 18 NE SUMMER HOLIDAY DANCE PARTY - VARIOUS 19 11 SKY DIVIN` - DARREN STYLES 20 NE PIANO MAN: VERY BEST OF - BILLY JOEL 21 23 GOLD - ABBA 22 31 HARD CANDY - MADONNA 23 16 GOOD GIRL GONE BAD - RIHANNA 24 10 HOME BEFORE DARK - NEIL DIAMOND 25 21 JUMPING ALL OVER THE WORLD - SCOOTER 26 NE SUNSET TO SUNRISE - VARIOUS 27 26 PURE URBAN ESSENTIALS SUMMER 2008 - VARIOUS 28 NE STAY POSITIVE - THE HOLD STEADY 29 NE ZOOM STARZ - VARIOUS 30 20 PURE GARAGE PRESENTS PURE BASSLINE - VARIOUS Outside the 30, in this preview, we find CARLA BRUNI - COMME SI DE RIEN N`ETAIT at 31, NAS - UNTITLED at 32, with JACK McManus back in the top 50, and MICAH P. HINSON a bit further down. Here is the singles, preview... 01 01 DANCE WIV ME - DIZZEE RASCAL 02 07 ALL SUMMER LONG - KID ROCK 03 03 NO AIR - JORDIN SPARKS/CHRIS BROWN 04 02 ALL I EVER WANTED - BASSHUNTER 05 04 CLOSER - NE-YO 06 14 GIVE IT 2 ME - MADONNA 07 06 STAY WITH ME - IRONIK 08 05 FOREVER - CHRIS BROWN 09 08 SWEET ABOUT ME - GABRIELLA CILMI 10 NE ONE FOR THE RADIO - MCFLY 11 11 WE MADE IT - BUSTA RYMES/LINKIN PARK 12 10 TAKE A BOW - RIHANNA 13 12 LOVE SONG - SARA BAREILLES 14 15 SHUT UP AND LET ME GO - TING TINGS 15 09 VIVA LA VIDA - COLDPLAY 16 13 WARWICK AVENUE - DUFFY 17 16 THAT`S NOT MY NAME - TING TINGS 18 27 PHOTOGRAPH - NICKELBACK 19 17 BLACK AND GOLD - SAM SPARRO 20 18 HEARTBREAKER - WILL I.

Outside the top 40: ANNIE - I KNOW YOUR GIRLFRIEND HATES ME, and THE FEELING - TURN IT UP reside in the top 50, just outside the top 40 are USHER - MOVING MOUNTAINS, and HOMETOWN GLORY - ADELE. LINKIN PARK - LEAVE OUT ALL THE REST, ONE NIGHT ONLY - YOU AND ME, are in the top 60. GIMME GIMME GIMME (A MAN AFTER MIDNIGHT appears at 73 from the MAMMA MIA Soundtrack. The other week, I tipped NOAH AND THE WHALE (and they are in the 40, on downloads alone). Here are three tips, for future release: LAY YOUR LOVE ON ME - BWO (released 28th Jul) BUILT TO LAST - MELEE (released 21st Jul) CAMEL - FAT FREDDY`S DROP (released 21st Jul) BWO should squeeze in the top 40, as should MELEE. FAT FREDDY`s DROP probably won`t! Although, I must confess, I find it quite fun. How did Radio Luxembourg do, in July 1976? 01 01 DON`T GO BREAKING MY HEART - ELTON JOHN/KIKI DEE 02 02 FOREVER AND EVER - DEMIS ROUSOS 03 05 A LITTLE BIT MORE - DR HOOK 04 04 KISS AND SAY GOODBYE - MANHATTENS 05 09 YOU`RE MY BEST FRIEND - QUEEN 06 06 YOUNG HEARTS RUN FREE - CANDI STATON 07 03 YOU TO ME ARE EVERYTHING - REAL THING 08 10 MISTY BLUE - DOROTHY MOORE 09 14 IT ONLY TAKES A MINUTE - JONATHON KING 10 07 LET`S STICK TOGETHER - BRYAN FERRY 11 16 MAN TO MAN - HOT CHOCOLATE 12 17 YOU ARE MY LOVE - LIVERPOOL EXPRESS 13 08 YOU JUST MIGHT SEE ME CRY - OUR KID 14 11 LEADER OF THE PARK - SHANGRI-LAS 15 15 THE BOSTON TEA PARTY - ALEX HARVEY 16 26 HEAVEN MUST BE MISSING AN ANGEL - TAVARES 17 25 ME AND BABY BROTHER - WAR 18 12 TONIGHTS THE NIGHT - ROD STEWART 19 22 I RECALL A GYPSY WOMAN - DON WILLIAMS 20 20 I NEED TO BE IN LOVE - CARPENTERS 21 NE BACK IN THE USSR - BEATLES 22 NE LOVE ON DELIVERY - BILLY OCEAN 23 18 I LOVE TO BOOGIE - T. REX 24 13 BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN - THIN LIZZY 25 NE NO CHANCE - BILLY CONNOLLY 26 21 WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD - JOHNNY NASH 27 27 GOOD VIBRATIONS - BEACH BOYS 28 NE MYSTERY SONG - STATUS QUO 29 NE A FIFTH OF BEETHOVEN - WALTER MURPHY`S BIG APPLE BAND 30 NE I THOUGHT IT TOOK A LITTLE TIME - DIANA ROSS In July 1976 (the longest hot summer, of the 20th Century), Radio Luxembourg had 10 in the 10, 17 in the 20, and 27 in the 30. The Luxy bosses, obviously missed out the ISLEY BROTHERS "HARVEST FOR THE WORLD", here...probably forgot to include it! As it was already up 4 places, in the BBC top 30. Looking down that chart, we see that TV talent show "NEW FACES", had a run of "stars" on their hands with OUR KID,THE REAL THING, and LIVERPOOL EXPRESS (all from Liverpool). Where did the REAL THING spring from? I ask that because they won NEW FACES in 1975. Then suddenly bang, they were number one, with YOU TO ME ARE EVERYTHING. I must admit I was never a fan, of The REAL THING, and this proved more so...when I saw them live. I found a rather big ego, from the lead singer. Definately not to my liking! :puke2: Although, LIVERPOOL EXPRESS were just brilliant!

The top 30 combined artist/compilations... 01 01 Coldplay 02 NE Mamma Mia - OST/Various 03 02 Duffy 04 03 Clubland 13 - Various 05 04 R + B The Love Collection - Various 06 05 Massive Reggae - Various 07 07 Chris Brown 08 NE Ultimate Street Dance - Various 09 09 My Songs - Various 10 12 Ting Tings 11 06 Chilled 91 - 08 - Various 12 NE Partie Traumatic - Various 13 10 Darren Styles 14 14 Amy Winehouse 15 23 Nickelback 16 15 Pure Urban Essentials Summer 2008 - Various 17 11 Pure Garage Presents Pure Bassline - Various 18 NE Beck 19 17 Rihanna 20 13 Hed Kandi Summer Mix 2008 - Various 21 08 Home Before Dark - Neil Diamond 22 RE Abba 23 19 Scooter 24 NE Connected - Various 25 32 Madonna 26 RE Last Shadow Puppets 27 22 Eddy Grant 28 21 Paul Weller 29 18 Best Of Neil Diamond 30 30 Elbow 11 Compilations in the top 30, this week and 10 in the top 20!!

Thanks for that info, Colin. I never did like the advent, of not including Compilations in the overall chart. An album is an album, and it`s good to know that, many Comps are outselling the artists.

Don`t the weeks, fly by?! Here we are again, with a selection of the usual charts, the top films, dvds, albums, and the latest up to the minute compiled singles top 50, along with Dave Taylor. All coming up, with a look back to July 1981 (as requested by Robbie). First up, here are the top uk films... w/k ending 18th Jul 2008 01 NE HANCOCK 02 NE KUNG FU PANDA 03 01 CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: PRINCE CASPIAN 04 02 WANTED 05 06 SEX AND THE CITY 06 05 INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL 07 04 ADULTHOOD 08 NE THE MIST 09 03 THE INCREDIBLE HULK 10 07 EDGE OF LOVE HANCOCK makes £9,589,095, this week. That seem`s to make me want to say "Hurrrr, Hancock`s Half Hour!! Although, it has nothing to do with it. Showing my age, there!! KUNG FU PANDA makes £6,069,679, and THE MIST takes £157,394, all in a week. (The top films, are compiled by Screen International for UK Box Office). Here are the top dvd films... w/k ending 18th July 2008 01 07 BANK JOB 02 02 JUMPER 03 03 CLOVERFIELD 04 01 RAMBO 05 NE BE KIND REWIND 06 NE THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL 07 NE WATER HORSE: LEGEND OF THE DEEP 08 05 NATIONAL TREASURE: BOOK OF SECRETS 09 04 JUNO 10 NE DIARY OF THE DEAD On the top dvds, this week BANK JOB was rented/bought by 43,711 people. (The top dvds, are compiled by a combination of MRIB/Blockbuster). Here are the top albums... w/k ending 18th July 2008 01 01 VIVA LA VIDA OR DEATH AND ALL HIS FRIENDS - COLDPLAY 02 02 ROCKFERRY - DUFFY 03 NE MAMMA MIA - OST/VARIOUS 04 03 CLUBLAND 13 - VARIOUS 05 12 R + B THE LOVE COLLECTION - VARIOUS 06 13 MASSIVE REGGAE - VARIOUS 07 06 EXCLUSIVE - CHRIS BROWN 08 NE PARTIE TRAUMATIC - BLACK KIDS 09 NE ULTIMATE STREET DANCE - VARIOUS 10 NE MODERN GUILT - BECK 11 11 WE SAID NOTHING - TING TINGS 12 04 CHILLED 91 - 08 - VARIOUS 13 15 MY SONGS - VARIOUS 14 08 SKY DIVIN` - DARREN STYLES 15 14 BACK TO BLACK - AMY WINEHOUSE 16 29 ALL THE RIGHT REASONS - NICKELBACK 17 05 HOME BEFORE DARK - NEIL DIAMOND 18 16 HED KANDI MIX SUMMER 2008 - VARIOUS 19 17 PURE GARAGE PRESENTS PURE BASSLINE - VARIOUS 20 07 PURE URBAN ESSENTIALS SUMMER 08 - VARIOUS COLDPLAY`s sales, slipping this week. 9 Various Artists Compilations, in there (and the MAMMA MIA soundtrack). A bit of confusion, over MAMMA MIA because the original cast recording, is also knocking about the top 50. The CONNECTED 90s 12 inch album, is in the top 30. Also, in the top 30 are RIHANNA, SCOOTER, MADONNA, LAST SHADOW PUPPETS, EDDY GRANT, PAUL WELLER, BEST OF NEIL DIAMOND, ELBOW, and ABBA. (The top selling albums, are compiled from stores/download sites, up to and including Wednesday night). Remember the albums, in July 1981? w/k ending 18th July 1981 01 01 NO SLEEP `TIL HAMMERSMITH - MOTORHEAD 02 05 DISCO DAZE AND DISCO NITES - VARIOUS 03 02 PRESENT ARMS - UB40 04 11 LOVE SONGS - CLIFF RICHARD 05 03 STARS ON 45 - STARSOUND 06 10 SECRET COMBINATION - RANDY CRAWFORD 07 07 DURAN DURAN - DURAN DURAN 08 04 ANTHEM - TOYAH 09 06 JUJU - SIOUXIE AND THE BANSHEES 10 12 KINGS OF THE WILD FRONTIER - ADAM AND THE ANTS 11 22 KIM WILDE - KIM WILDE 12 08 CHARIOTS OF FIRE - VANGELIS 13 09 MAGNETIC FIELDS - JEAN MICHEL JARRE 14 27 PEN*S ENVY - CRASS 15 20 JUMPIN` JIVE - JOE JACKSON 16 16 MADE IN AMERICA - CARPENTERS 17 18 BAD FOR GOOD - JIM STEINMAN 18 13 FACE VALUE - PHIL COLLINS 19 NE NAH POO THE ART OF BLUFF - WAH! 20 15 THE RIVER - BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN MOTORHEAD doing the business in `81. They got knocked out, by CLIFF RICHARD, on the following week! DISCO DAYS AND DISCO NITES was just like it said, on the tin (this was the first, of the buy one, and get the other free, tv campaign). Obviously, you could not get them seperately, anyway! Most of the other albums, had singles doing good, for the artists in the singles chart. SIOUXIE AND THE BANSHEES (seemed to have been watching, a TARZAN film, featuring the JuJu tribes. CRASS came from Epping (East Essex), a punk group promoting anarchy, feminism, anti racism, anti war, and anti global affairs. JEAN MICHEL JARRE (the French born composer) continued to entertain, with his elctronic/synth pop/new age sound. PETE WYLIE was making music with WAH! or the MIGHTY WAH (to give them the full original name). THE CARPENTERS had a single from the album "BEECHWOOD 4,5,7,8,9", but it flopped. JIM STEINMAN was best known, for his compositions and productions, for the likes of MEAT LOAF...JOE JACKSON (born in Burton Upon Trent, Staffordshire) challenged punk in the late 70s, and broke through, also to the States, with his unique sounds. VANGELIS (one part of APHRODITES CHILD in the 60s), from Greece, gave us the film soundtrack, of the Oscar winning film "CHARIOTS OF FIRE". BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN slipped down, with his album (which was also, the title, of his latest single). Here are the top singles, from July 1981 w/k ending 18th July 81 01 01 GHOST TOWN - SPECIALS 02 06 STARS ON 45 VOL. 2 - STARSOUND 03 03 CAN CAN - BAD MANNERS 04 02 ONE DAY IN YOUR LIFE - MICHAEL JACKSON 05 05 BODY TALK - IMAGINATION 06 23 MOTORHEAD LIVE - MOTORHEAD 07 11 WORDY RAPPINGHOOD - TOM TOM CLUB 08 09 NO WOMAN NO CRY - BOB MARLEY 09 04 GOING BACK TO MY ROOTS - ODDYSEY 10 07 MEMORY - ELAINE PAIGE 11 18 DANCING ON THE FLOOR - THIRD WORLD 12 12 YOU MIGHT NEED SOMEBODY - RANDY CRAWFORD 13 10 RAZZAMATAZZ - QUINCY JONES 14 19 THERE`S A GUY WORKS DOWN THE CHIP SHOP SWEARS HE`S ELVIS - KIRSTY MCCOLL 15 27 SAT IN YOUR LAP - KATE BUSH 16 16 PIECE OF THE ACTION - BUCK`S FIZZ 17 22 NEW LIFE - DEPECHE MODE 18 26 CAN`T HAPPEN HERE - RAINBOW 19 08 BEING WITH YOU - SMOKEY ROBINSON 20 NE LAY ALL YOUR LOVE ON ME - ABBA 21 21 THROW AWAY THE KEY - LINX 22 NE CHANT NO` 1 - SPANDAU BALLET 23 25 FOR YOUR EYES ONLY - SHEENA EASTON 24 17 ALL STOOD STILL - ULTRAVOX 25 43 VISAGE - VISAGE 26 20 WIKKA WRAP - EVASIONS 27 15 HOW ABOUT US - CHAMPAIGN 28 13 MORE THAN IN LOVE - KATE ROBBINS 29 NE NEVER SURRENDER - SAXON 30 24 TAKE IT TO THE TOP - KOOL AND THE GANG 31 14 TEDDY BEAR - RED SOVINE 32 48 WALK RIGHT NOW - JACKSONS 33 39 I`M IN LOVE - EVELYN KING 34 33 ME NO POP I - KID CREOLE AND THE COCONUTS 35 28 IF LEAVING ME IS EASY - PHIL COLLINS 36 38 TAKE IT ON THE RUN - REO SPEEDWAGON 37 42 BEACH BOY GOLD - GIDEA PARK 38 NE SHOW ME - DEXY`S MIDNIGHT RUNNERS 39 29 DOORS OF YOUR HEART - THE BEAT 40 30 STAND AND DELIVER - ADAM AND THE ANTS THE SPECIALS at the top, in 1981, featuring the talents of TERRY HALL. The Dutch produced sound of STARSOUND, bring us a tribute sound-a-like to ABBA. BAD MANNERS brought the CAN CAN up to date (also brought up to date, in 1962 with Peter Jay and the Jaywalkers). MICHAEL JACKSON was heading down! IMAGINATION scored their first hit...MOTORHEAD went live, and off of the album "Live In Hammersmith". TOM TOM CLUB were the female singers, from TALKING HEADS...BOB MARLEY passed away from cancer, and was back in charts, with his 1975 top 30 hit...ODDYSEY went Back to their roots, with a disco smash...ELAINE PAIGE took MEMORY, from "CATS" (The Lloyd/Webber London show). More disco, from THIRD WORLD, and QUINCY JONES. RANDY CRAWFORD missed the top ten, were the absolutely brilliant "YOU MIGHT NEED SOMEBODY" (much better, than the 90s SHOLA AMA hit)...KIRSTY MACCOLL met a bloke, who thought he was ELVIS (we have one, of them in Reading)!! KATE BUSH bounced up, with her unique style, but missed the top ten...BUCKS FIZZ had their second hit...DEPECHE MODE had their first...RAINBOW and SAXON brought us more rock...ABBA were challenging SPANDAU BALLET for new entries, in the end SPANDAU won the battle, to the top 3...DAVID GRANT was continuing the lead, on LINX...The EVASIONS gave us, a smile, with a tribute to ALAN WHICKER (loosely based on the TOM BROWNE hit, "FUNKIN` FOR JAMAICA"...VISAGE had a self-titled single, along with the vocals of STEVE STRANGE, previously featuring, with ULTRAVOX. KATE ROBBINS (Actress, impressionist, and overall funny lady) starred in CROSSROADS on tv, and gave us "MORE THAN IN LOVE", which she actually sang in the Soap...RED SOVINE passed away, and his country sickly/sad song went into the chart. GIDEA PARK was ADRIAN BAKER (doing a medley sound-a-like of the BEACH BOYS)...KID CREOLE got his first hit, and a big send up, followed with RONNIE BARKER, on the TWO RONNIES. (The vintage charts, were compiled by MRIB, for Independant Radio in 1981). To Robbie, I will email you, concerning the Radio Luxembourg 1970s charts. Meanwhile, when Dave comes in from his Friday Hospital show, he will complete with the top singles this week. So, hang around...

Stevie Wonder had to wait 16 years, until he achieved a number one, with Paul McCartney in 1982, with "Ebony And Ivory". Later achieving a solo chart topper with "I Just Called to Say I Love You", in 84.

Here is the Weekly Preview of what may, or may not happen, in next Sunday`s Charts. With thanks to Peter Jay, and John McManus, for all their help, on the compiling of these charts.

JORDIN SPARKS, ALKALINE TRIO, UNKLE, and TRICKY are also in the top 40. LEON JEAN MARIE, PAUL HEATON, FREEMASONS, LAST SHADOW PUPPETS are all in the 50. Further down there are: BIFFY CLYRO, CARRIE UNDERWOOD, LIMP BIZKITT, SOUTH, WILDHEARTS, and The SUPREMES (STORY OF THE SUPREMES). In last week`s preview, we had 8 in the top 10, 14 in the 20, and 22 in the top 30. Something went wrong there!! Although, we are now doing much better in the singles preview, because last week, we had 9 in the 10, 19 in the 20, 28 in the 30, and 37 in the top 40. Here is this week`s singles preview... 01 01 DANCE WIV ME - DIZEE RASCAL/CALVIN HARRIS 02 13 ALL I EVER WANTED - BASSHUNTER 03 03 NO AIR - JORDIN SPARKS 04 02 CLOSER - NE YO 05 05 FOREVER - CHRIS BROWN 06 10 STAY WITH ME - IRONIK 07 NE ALL SUMMER LONG - KID ROCK 08 07 SWEET ABOUT ME - GABRIELLA CILMI 09 04 VIVA LA VIDA - COLDPLAY 10 09 TAKE A BOW - RIHANNA 11 06 WE MADE IT - BUSTA RYMES/LINKIN PARK 12 08 LOVE SONG - SARA BAREILLES 13 11 WARWICK AVENUE - DUFFY 14 16 GIVE IT 2 ME - MADONNA 15 22 SHUT UP AND LET ME GO - TING TINGS 16 12 THAT`S NOT MY NAME - TING TINGS 17 15 BLACK AND GOLD - SAM SPARRO 18 17 HEARTBREAKER - WILL I.

As ADELE (HOMETOWN GLORY), USHER (MOVING MOUNTAINS), and WOMBATS (KILL THE DIRECTOR), hang in a top 60. Let`s have a pick of what may hit the chart on the 14th Jul, next Monday... My tips are... TURN IT UP - THE FEELING ANNIE - I KNOW YOUR GIRLFRIEND HATES ME MCFLY - ONE FOR THE RADIO Dare we say, MCFLY in the top 10, next Monday?!! :puke2: :teresa: ANNIE, and THE FEELING should be around the top 40. On a combined download/physical chart (if pre-orders are included) MCFLY would be Number One, FEELING number 13, and ANNIE number 19. That doesn`t mean a thing, of course!! How did Radio Luxembourg do, in July 1977? On Wednesday 6th July 1977, they came up with this... 01 01 SO YOU WIN AGAIN - HOT CHOCOLATE 02 05 MA BAKER - BONEY M 03 02 FANFARE FOR THE COMMON MAN - EMERSON LAKE AND PALMER 04 NE I FEEL LOVE - DONNA SUMMER 05 03 SHOW YOU THE WAY TO GO - JACKSONS 06 04 BABY DON`T CHANGE YOUR MIND - GLADYS KNIGHT 07 07 PEACHES/GO BUDDY GO - STRANGLERS 08 06 SAM - OLIVIA NEWTON JOHN 09 NE PRETTY VACANT - SEX PISTOLS 10 13 DO WHAT YOU WANNA DO - T.

STRAWBERRY LETTER 23, was the only major boo-boo, but it did get loads of airplay. Queen`s First E.P. sold on the popularity of "GOOD OLD FASHIONED LOVER BOY". Also, popular on airplay was the Supertramp single. A major powerplay Luxembourg airplay bubbler was the RAH BAND and "THE CRUNCH"...Just when you thought it was over, it started again!! Ever airplay was given to DAVE EDMUNDS (who always covered other people`s songs). ANDY GIBB also got lots, of airplay, but missed the official top 20 (Andy sadily passed away, in the late 80s). TAVARES looked promising, with the follow up to "WHODUNNIT", but did not get to the top 10, with "ONE STEP AWAY". A re-recorded version of "FEEL THE NEED IN ME", proved popular, for the DETROIT EMERALDS (who did it, as a follow up, to a re-released hits package, that was released on an E.P. entitled "COULD IT BE I`M FALLING IN LOVE". The SEX PISTOLS appeared on TOP OF THE POPS with "PRETTY VACANT", and HOT CHOCOLATE finally had a number one, but BONEY M made the top, on Radio Luxembourg, the following week.

Only STREET SOUNDS, and CHART STARS were in the combined top 30. Most of the top 10 artist albums, sporned a single in the same week`s singles chart. The POLICE did well keeping MICHAEL JACKSON off the top (but he did return, there later). ROD STEWART only managed number 3, with his album...as his single road higher in the singles...WHAM! were on their way, to the top of the album chart...ELTON JOHN had a much revived chart move, in 1983...DAVID SYLVIAN was doing well with JAPAN...KOOL AND THE GANG did alright, with the album...as did PETER GABRIEL, but lacked singles in 83...JON AND VANGELIS were ever popular...and TALKING HEADS were too (sporning the girls from the group, to form the TOM TOM CLUB in 1981)...Just outside the top 20 albums, was RICKIE LEE JONES and "GIRL AT HER VOLCANO". This album, did not carry any singles, and achieved absolutely no radioplays, either! We well remember RICKIE LEE JONES only chart selling single, was "CHUCKIE`S IN LOVE" in July 1979. Here are the singles, in July 1983... 01 01 BABY JANE - ROD STEWART 02 03 FLASHDANCE: WHAT A FEELING - IRENE CARA 03 06 MOONLIGHT SHADOW - MIKE OLDFIELD 04 14 WHEREVER I LAY MY HAT THAT`S MY HOME - PAUL YOUNG 05 10 I O U - FREEEZ 06 02 EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE - THE POLICE 07 16 WAR BABY - TOM ROBINSON 08 05 I GUESS THAT`S WHY THEY CALL IT THE BLUES - ELTON JOHN 09 12 DEAD GIVEAWAY - SHALAMAR 10 20 COME LIVE WITH ME - HEAVEN 17 11 19 TAKE THAT SITUATION - NICK HEYWARD 12 04 CHINA GIRL - DAVID BOWIE 13 11 WHEN WE WERE YOUNG - BUCKS FIZZ 14 21 ROCK N` ROLL IS KING - ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA 15 28 FORBIDDEN COLOURS - DAVID SYLVIAN/RIUICHI SAKAMOTO 16 08 BAD BOYS - WHAM 17 07 WAITING FOR A TRAIN - FLASH AND THE PAN 18 32 THE TROOPER - IRON MAIDEN 19 09 WANNA BE STARTING SOMETHIN` - MICHAEL JACKSON 20 29 IT`S OVER - FUNK MASTERS 21 15 LADY LOVE ME ONE MORE TIME - GEORGE BENSON 22 45 DOUBLE DUTCH - MALCOM MCCLAREN 23 23 CONFUSION HIT`S US EVERYTIME - THE TRUTH 24 17 DREAM TOO SLEEP - H20 25 31 ALL NIGHT LONG - MARY JANE GIRLS 26 13 NOBODY`S DIARY - YAZOO 27 39 TANTALIZE - JIMMY THE HOOVER 28 18 DARK IS THE NIGHT - SHAKATAK 29 34 SHE WORKS HARD FOR THE MONEY - DONNA SUMMER 30 NE WHO`S THAT GIRL - EURYTHMICS 31 40 DON`T TRY TO STOP IT - ROMAN HOLIDAY 32 25 BUFFALO SOLDIER - BOB MARLEY AND THE WAILERS 33 24 GARDEN PARTY - MARILLION 34 42 TRANSFER AFFECTION - A FLOCK OF SEAGULLS 35 NE THE WALK - THE CURE 36 22 LOVE TOWN - BOOKER NEWBERRY III 37 NE AFTER A FASHION - MIDGE URE/MICK KARN 38 NE CRUEL SUMMER - BANANARAMA 39 27 HANG ON NOW - KAJAGOOGOO 40 26 WE CAME TO DANCE - ULTRAVOX 2 weeks at the top, for ROD STEWART and his first number one, since 1977. IRENE CARA just missed, on the number one, with the theme to FLASHDANCE (A film, that she did not appear in)...MIKE OLDFIELD teamed up with MAGGIE REILLY...PAUL YOUNG covered a MARVIN GAYE 1969 B side (it was the B side to "TOO BUSY THINKING ABOUT MY BABY"). FREEEZ came along, with a song, that was well re-mixed years later...TOM ROBINSON was back...HEAVEN 17 followed up "TEMPTATION"...SHALAMAR had their last top ten hit...THE POLICE took a song from the album, and was simultaneosly a number one...ELTON JOHN scored 4 top 40 singles in 1983...NICK HAYWARD had a second hit, away from HAIRCUT 100...The ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA returned with a single, from the album...FUNK MASTERS looked promising, but disappeared quickly...FORBIDDEN COLOURS and SYLVIAN/SAKAMOTO was the theme to the film "MERRY CHRISTMAS MR LAWRENCE". MALCOM MCCLAREN went skating, as well as skipping, with a hit from the album "DUCK ROCK"...THE TRUTH scored with CONFUSION (featuring the talents of DENNIS GREAVES)...MARY JANE GIRLS were good to look at...JIMMY THE HOOVER only ever scored with "TANTALIZE". There were some follow ups, I bought KILL ME KWIK", in the Autumn. DONNA SUMMER was doing ok, on a comeback...ROMAN HOLIDAY also looked promising, but again faded away...MARILLION issued "GARDEN PARTY", and sounded like ALEX HARVEY`s "BOSTON TEA PARTY". A FLOCK OF SEAGULLS were on the decline, too...and MIDGE URE featured on ULTRAVOX, and his duet with the other JAPAN star MICK KARN. Incidently SHAKATAK who appear in this chart, recently performed in Japan, and are currently performing in a few performances, in various cafes in the London area, as well as doing an 80s show, with some other 80s, artists. (The vintage charts were compiled by MRIB, for Independant Radio 1983). The top singles, with Dave, for this week coming soon...

Last week, in the singles, we had 9 in the top 10, 18 in the 20, 29 in the 30, and 37 in the 40. In the albums, we had 9 in the top 10, 16 in the 20, and 26 in the top 30. How did the gang do in 1995? On Monday 26th June 95 01 02 UNCHAINED MELODY - ROBSON AND JEROME 02 04 BOOM BOOM BOOM - OUTHERE BROTHERS 03 14 WOOMPH THERE IT IS - CLOCK 04 34 THIS IS A CALL - FOOFIGHTERS 05 01 HOLD ME THRILL ME KISS ME KILL ME - U2 06 08 A GIRL LIKE YOU - EDWYN COLLINS 07 NE SHOOT ME WITH YOUR LOVE - D:REAM 08 33 STILLNESS IN TIME - JAMERIQUAI 09 10 THINK OF YOU - WHIGFIELD 10 NE I`M A BELIEVER - VIC AND BOB AND E.M.F. 11 06 SCREAM - MICHAEL JACKSON 12 03 I NEED YOUR LOVIN` - BABY D. 13 05 SEARCH FOR THE HERO - M.

Pretty ropey, really! In actual fact we do better, today. Didn`t we love the OUTHERE BROTHERS? No, we did not! A lot of re-makes in the chart. ROBSON AND JEROME`s double A was AL HIBBLER meets VERA LYNN, VIC AND BOB meets the MONKEES/NEIL DIAMOND, BABY D meet`s THE KORGIS, SHAGGY meets MUNGO JERRY, AMI GRANT meets JONI MITCHELL, CHINA BLACK meets ERIC CLAPTON meets KIRI TEKANAWA, RAPPIN 4-TAY meets GEORGE BENSON. The SHAGGY re-make would be the worse for me, but then I couldn`t stand his music! :puke2: Let`s finish with 3 singles to watch... Last week I picked Kylie, Goldfrapp, and Estelle. It look`s like Goldfrapp might miss, Estelle will hit the top 30, and Kylie will wait to 28th July. Today I have picked these... AIN`T NO LOVE IN THE HEART OF THE CITY - PAUL CARRACK released 7th July STANDING NEXT TO ME - LAST SHADOW PUPPETS released 7th July 5 YEARS TIME - NOAH AND THE WHALE released 4th Aug I reckon that, the pre-orders suggest top 40, for all 3. With Paul top 40, Last Shadows top 20, and Noah top 30.

I used to write it down too. I cheated though by copying the top 40, from THE SUN! Previously, to the 80s, all the papers, Sun. Mirror, Mail, and Sunday People, all printed the Melody Maker top 20. I remember trying, to follow the chart, in the Sunday People, while listening to Tom Browne and the Radio One top 20, and was confused, because it was all, out of sync! I often, wondered why no papers (other than Record Busines) printed the Independant Radio charts, until 1984. Even more so, with the Radio One, chart. It did appear in some, local newspapers, around 1979.

I`ve already planned next Friday`s oldies, but Robbie, I will do 1981, on the 11th July, Okay?

Off on another late Friday, with a further salute to the late-departed Network Chart Show>where Sundays gave the chart, ahead of the rest.

A rather surprisingly big entry for SIGUR ROS, still hugely popular, years on. (The album chart, is compiled by info from stores/download sites up to, and including Wednesday night). Here`s the albums in June 1980 w/k ending 5th Jul 1980 01 03 FLESH AND BLOOD - ROXY MUSIC 02 02 HOT WAX - VARIOUS ARTISTS 03 01 PETER GABRIEL - PETER GABRIEL 04 04 MCCARTNEY 2 - PAUL MCCARTNEY 05 NE SAVED - BOB DYLAN 06 14 THE PHOTOS - THE PHOTOS 07 07 MAGIC REGGAE - VARIOUS ARTISTS 08 08 SKY 2 - SKY 09 05 ME MYSELF I - JOAN ARMATRADING 10 NE UPRISING - BOB MARLEY 11 06 I JUST CAN`T STOP IT - THE BEAT 12 09 READY AND WILLING - WHITESNAKE 13 10 CHAMPAGNE AND ROSES - VARIOUS 14 17 REGATTA DE BLANC - POLICE 15 20 DUKE - GENESIS 16 11 OFF THE WALL - MICHAEL JACKSON 17 21 DEFECTOR - STEVE HACKETT 18 13 SHINE - AVERAGE WHITE BAND 19 12 MAGIC OF BONEY M - BONEY M 20 23 DIANA - DIANA ROSS ROXY MUSIC winning the album race in 1980. PETER GABRIEL used self-titled album names, over and over again, this was the third one, to carry his own name (and not the last, either). HOT WAX was the latest K-tel album...PAUL MCCARTNEY issued an album, credited to just him, after years, of using Wings, as performers...SKY issued their second album, of rock-type classical pieces...BOB MARLEY resurged, and put more singles, into the chart too...BOB DYLAN is still Mr Forever, although some would say, his songs, sound better when performed, by other people!!...The PHOTOS were a striking uk group led by, the even more striking WENDY WU. They never had any single success, but all the newspaper coverage, of the very beautiful Wendy, put their album, right up in the top 10...JOAN ARMATRADING also used the title, of her album, for a single, as did the ROLLING STONES...It was back to the 50s, for CHAMPAGNE AND ROSES...ELTON JOHN had 21 songs, on his 33rpm LP...WHITESNAKE provided the heavy rock...and the slight rock of STEVE HACKETT, and not forgetting the echoes, of DIANA ROSS in her latest compilation. Here are 1980`s singles w/k ending 5th Jul 1980 01 01 CRYING - DON MCLEAN 02 02 FUNKY TOWN - LIPPS INC. 03 03 BACK TOGETHER AGAIN - ROBERTA FLACK/DONNY HATHAWAY 04 05 EVERYBODY`S GOT TO LEARN SOMETHING - KORGIS 05 20 XANADU - OLIVIA NEWTON JOHN/ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA 06 17 JUMP TO THE BEAT - STACY LATTISAW 07 09 SIMON TEMPLAR/TWO PINTS OF LAGER - SPLODGENESSABOUNDS 08 06 BEHIND THE GROOVE - TEENA MARIE 09 24 WATERFALLS - PAUL MCCARTNEY 10 19 MY WAY OF THINKING/I THINK IT`S GOING TO RAIN - UB40 11 08 SUBSTITUTE - LIQUID GOLD 12 04 THEME FROM MASH - THE MASH 13 15 PLAY THE GAME - QUEEN 14 34 USE IT UP AND WEAR IT OUT - ODDYSEY 15 07 LET`S GET SERIOUS - JERMAINE JACKSON/STEVIE WONDER 16 22 TO BE OR NOT TO BE - B.A. ROBERTSON 17 35 COULD YOU BE LOVED - BOB MARLEY 18 14 MESSAGES - ORCHESTRAL MANOUEVERES IN THE DARK 19 32 747 STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT - SAXON 20 NE CUPID-I`VE LOVED YOU FOR A LONG TIME - DETROIT SPINNERS 21 10 YOU GAVE ME LOVE - CROWN HEIGHTS AFFAIR 22 18 MIDNIGHT DYNAMOS - MATCHBOX 23 13 RAT RACE/RUDE BOYS OUTA JAIL - SPECIALS 24 28 CHRISTINE - SIOUXIE AND THE BANSHEES 25 11 OVER YOU - ROXY MUSIC 26 12 NO DOUBT ABOUT IT - HOT CHOCOLATE 27 26 CHINA TOWN - THIN LIZZY 28 29 IF LOVING YOU IS WRONG I DON`T WANT TO BE RIGHT - ROD STEWART 29 21 D-A-A-ANCE - LAMBRETTAS 30 23 I`M ALIVE - ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA 31 16 BREAKING THE LAW - JUDAS PRIEST 32 38 LET`S HANG ON - DARTS 33 NE LOVE WILL TEAR US APART - JOY DIVISION 34 41 COMPUTER GAMES - YELLOW MAGIC ORCHESTRA 35 30 I`M NOT YOUR STEPPING STONE - SEX PISTOLS 36 31 THE SCRATCH - SURFACE NOISE 37 NE A LOVER`S HOLIDAY/GLOW OF LOVE - CHANGE 38 42 WHOLE LOTTA ROSIE - AC/DC 39 45 LIP UP FATTY - BAD MANNERS 40 43 ME MYSELF I - JOAN ARMATRADING 3 weeks at the top for DON MCCLEAN back in the chart, after 8 years, covering ROY ORBISON`a 1961 minor hit. LIPPS INC, featured the sounds of CYNTHIA JOHNSON doing the lead...ROBERTA FLACK was back, with the late DONNY HATHAWAY...The KORGIS did the original of the hit, that became "I NEED YOUR LOVIN", some years later...STACY LATTISAW spiced up the disco...SPLODGENESSABOUNDS double Aed with SIMON TEMPLAR (which was a take, on the theme to the RETURN OF THE SAINT, and TWO PINTS OF LAGER was all about waiting at the bar, and not getting served...I know the feeling, to well!! UB40 had another double A...TEENA MARIE, ODDYSEY, CROWN HEIGHTS AFFAIR, along with LIQUID GOLD gave us more disco...LIQUID GOLD actually started promising, but began to sound all their songs, alike, and even a go at the same SONG FOR EUROPE in 1981, along with BUCKS FIZZ, could not revive their hits...QUEEN played the game, and missed the top 10...The best US comedy series ever, came to the fore in the UK, with the theme from MASH (Mobile Army Surgical Hospital)...DETROIT SPINNERS cut a 1961 SAM COOKE hit...JERMAINE JACKSON joined with STEVIE WONDER...SAXON got heavy, and had about 3 singles in the top 75, along with AC/DC, who had about 5!...ZANADU was the top film, all bout rollerskating...that was a big flop, but the music, from it, gave OLIVIA and ELO, a charttopper, and ELO had many other hits, from the film....In some circles the film, of XANADU is known as XANADUDU (i.e. slang)...SIOUXIE AND THE BANSHEES sang about CHRISTINE (THE STRAWBERRY GIRL)...JUDAS PRIEST was back (a very long rock giant, of rock)...The SEX PISTOLS were virtually finished with, and covered an old MONKEES number...CHANGE featured the talents of LUTHER VANDROSS...BAD MANNERS had their second hit, and the YELLOW MAGIC ORCHESTRA issued a single, that featured those tunes, from the arcade SPACE INVADERS etc games. (The vintage charts, were compiled by Record Business, for Independant Radio, in 1980). Dave will complete, over to you Dave...

Was it Asda, where they were no`1? Or was that the chart, that they put on the wall? The chart we saw today from Asda, had them at 6. Altough Woolworths seem to think the Jonas Brothers will knock off Coldplay!!. Definately not!

CRAIG DAVID seems to have a flop on his hands. Biggest faller will be BILLIAM...crashing to the bottom. Last week in the singles we had 9 in the 10, 18 in the 20, 27 in the 30, and 36 in the top 40. In the albums we had 8 in the 10, 17 in the 20, and 26 in the 30. How did we do in June 1998? For Monday 22nd June... 01 01 THREE LIONS - BADDIEL AND SKINNER ETC 02 02 VINDALOO - FAT LES 03 05 GHETTO SUPERSTAR - PRAS MICHEL 04 NE HOW DO YOU WANT TO LOVE ME - 911 05 NE SAVE TONIGHT - EAGLE EYE CHERRY 06 NE THINKING OF YOU - HANSON 07 04 C`EST LA VIE - BEWITCHED 08 NE SAY IT ONCE - ULTRA 09 03 GOT THE FEELING - FIVE 10 10 HORNY - MOUSSE T. 11 07 LOST IN SPACE - LIGHTHOUSE FAMILY 12 NE BEGIN AGAIN - SPACE 13 NE INTERGALACTIC - BEASTIE BOYS 14 08 LOOKING FOR LOVE - KAREN RAMIREZ 15 NE SURFIN USA - AARON CARTER 16 06 CARNIVAL DE PARIS - DARIO G. 17 16 DIVA - DANA INTERNATIONAL 18 18 BOY IS MINE - BRANDY AND MONICA 19 11 ROCKEFELLA SKANK - FATBOY SLIM 20 13 DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY - MAVERICKS 21 NE STRUT - BAMBOO 22 NE LYNDEN DAVID HALL - CRESCENT MOON 23 25 HOW DO I LIVE - LEANNE RIMES 24 NE BAD GIRLS - DJ RAP 25 22 STRANDED - LUTRISHA MCNEIL 26 09 GO DEEP - JANET JACKSON 27 NE WIMBLEDON CHORALE - PAVAN 28 12 LIFE - DES`REE 29 20 ZORBA`S DANCE - LCD 30 24 KUNG FU FIGHTING - BUS STOP/KARL DOUGLAS 31 NE BLUE PEARL - NAKED IN THE RAIN 98 32 NE ASIAN DUB FOUNDATION - BLACK WHITE 33 23 MY ALL - MARIAH CAREY 34 NE MATCHBOX 20 - 3AM 35 NE FUEL - METALLICA 36 21 FEEL IT - TAMPERER 37 15 WHISTLE DOWN THE WIND - TINA ARENA 38 27 LAST THING ON MY MIND - STEPS 39 17 SHORTY - IMAJIN/KEITH MURRAY 40 NE HAPPENIN` ALL OVER AGAIN - TRACY SHAW iN 1998, we had 8 in the 10, 16 in the 20, 27 in the 30, and 35 in the 40. We over estimated LYNDEN DAVID HALL, ASIAN DUB FOUNDATION, MATCHBOX 20, and TRACY SHAW (who of course played Maxine in Coronation Street until the character was murdered in Emily`s house, by the notorius Brian Capron). Was that the most exciting thing to happen to her, aside being married to Darren Day?! Last Monday, I finished on a new feature, of future releases. I mentioned EDWYN COLLINS, CRAIG DAVID, and GLAS VEGAS...I said that they would all miss the top 40...but it looks like the brilliant GLAS VEGAS will definately make it in! Here are 3 future picks, for coming weeks... CARAVAN GIRL - GOLDFRAPP (released 30th June) NO SUBSTITUTE LOVE - ESTELLE (released 30th June) ONE - KYLIE MINOGUE/FREEMASONS (28th July) 3 dead certs, I think for the top 40. Estelle, and Goldfrapp heading top 20 wise, on pre-orders...Dave tells me. Kylie would be in the top 15 already (if pre-orders were allowed in the chart)!! So, I predict a 2008 no` 1, for Miss Minogue.

Can we come up, with anymore songs, that have stuck in one place for more than 2 weeks, outside the top 10? I thought of Tina Turner in March 1984. She spent 3 weeks, at number 40 with her version of the Beatles "Help". Any others then?

Will it be allowed in though???

Another Monday, another guide to what the chart might look like, on Sunday. Thanks, to Dave for doing the thread last Monday. Actually, when I looked at his results last week, I thought it didn`t look that good. He proved the gang right though, because there wasn`t much movement, in the top 20, at all, last night! So, today (with thanks to Peter Jay, and John McManus, for their help) here is what we came up with, when adding up equations, from HMV, WOOLWORTHS, ASDA, SAINSBURY`S, ZAVVI, iTunes, and other download sites. Firstly, the Album preview... 01 01 VIVA LA VIDA - COLDPLAY 02 NE SILENT CRY - FEEDER 03 07 CHILLED 91 - 08 - VARIOUS 04 NE PURE URBAN ESSENTIALS SUMMER 08 - VARIOUS 05 02 ROCKFERRY - DUFFY 06 03 HOME BEFORE DARK - NEIL DIAMOND 07 NE LITTLE VOICE - SARA BARIELLES 08 NE TAKE MY BREATH AWAY - VARIOUS 09 04 HERE WE STAND - FRATELLIS 10 10 22 DREAMS - PAUL WELLER 11 05 TOP GEAR ANTHEMS 2008 - VARIOUS 12 NE SKY DIVIN` - DARREN STYLES 13 13 BEST OF - RADIOHEAD 14 12 HERE I STAND - USHER 15 08 BEST OF - NEIL DIAMOND 16 17 CHANT - CISTERCIAN MONKS 17 NE STRENGTH IN NUMBERS - THE MUSIC 18 NE VERY BEST OF - PETULA CLARK 19 18 JUMPING ALL OVER THE WORLD - SCOOTER 20 21 GOOD GIRL GONE BAD RELOADED - RIHANNA 21 NE THE ALBUM - WEEZER 22 23 ESSENTIAL - NEIL DIAMOND 23 31 ALL THE RIGHT REASONS - NICKELBACK 24 NE PACIFIC OCEAN BLUE - DENNIS WILSON 25 NE FLEET FOXES - FLEET FOXES 26 32 ESSNTIAL - PAUL SIMON 27 14 YOU CAN DO ANYTHING - ZUTONS 28 33 GREATEST HITS - GUNS N` ROSES 29 24 101 DRIVING SONGS - VARIOUS 30 25 CLUBBERS GUIDE SUMMER 08 - VARIOUS Outside the top 30 for this preview are TIESTO/VARIOUS (IN SEARCH OF SUNRISE) at 32, JUDAS PRIEST - NOSTRADAMUS 35, JESSE MCCARTNEY - DEPARTURE 36, INSOMNIA - VARIOUS ARTISTS 37, THE OFFSPRING - RISE AND FALL RAGE AND GRACE is in the top 50, and further down, top 60 (and downwards) there are ANDY FAIRWEATHER-LOW, A FINE FRENZY, AMY WINEHOUSE (FRANK THE DELUX EDITION), DEREK MEINS, CAGE THE ELEPHANT, UB40, and SONNY J. MARIAH CAREY and E=MC2 goes back up, into the top 50, as well. In the singles today, it was this preview... 01 13 VIVA LA VIDA - COLDPLAY 02 01 SINGIN` IN THE RAIN - MINT ROYALE 03 03 CLOSER - NE YO 04 07 SWEET ABOUT ME - GABRIELLA CILMI 05 02 TAKE A BOW - RIHANNA 06 05 THAT`S NOT MY NAME - TING TINGS 07 04 LOVE SONG - SARA BAREILLES 08 09 FOREVER - CHRIS BROWN 09 06 WARWICK AVENUE - DUFFY 10 12 HEARTBREAKER - WILL I.

On COLDPLAY "VIVA LA VIDA", we have it in, whatever...the biggest seller this week, in on-going downloads. I spoke to Dave, last night and he said that the 18,000+ download sales, mentioned in Music Week were the combined single/album downloads. He says, the album version had about 5,000+ downloads, that would have put it at 25. Will it be allowed in this week? IF NOT THEN A NUMBER ONE, could be denied...asking the question, What does OCC, really mean?! Last week the gang had 8 in the 10, 19 in the 20, 28 in the 30, and 35 in the 40 for the singles chart, and in the albums 10 in the 10, 15 in the 20, and just 23 in the top 30 combined chart. Back in the year 2000, we came up with this on Monday 12th June... 01 NE YOU SEE THE TROUBLE WITH ME - BLACK LEGEND 02 01 IT FEELS SO GOOD - SONIQUE 03 NE SANDSTORM - DARUDE 04 04 REACH - S CLUB 7 05 NE PORCELAIN - MOBY 06 NE THE ONE - BACK STREET BOYS 07 09 SHACKLES - MARY MARY 08 13 JERUSALEM - FAT LES 09 03 MAMA - RICHARD BLACKWOOD 10 07 OTB - YORK 11 NE MONEY TO BURN - RICHARD ASHCROFT 12 02 COMING AROUND - TRAVIS 13 05 WHEN A WOMAN - GABRIELLE 14 08 GIRLS LIKE THIS - BIS PROJECT 15 NE CALL ME - JAMELIA 16 NE THESE WOODEN IDEAS - IDLEWILD 17 NE GREAT ESCAPE 2000 - ENGLAND SUPPORTERS 18 NE E TYPE - CAMPIONE 2000 (THE OFFICIAL EURO 2000 FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS THEME) 19 NE KEVIN KENNEDY - BULLDOG NATION 20 06 IF I TOLD YOU - HOUSTON/MICHAEL 21 10 IT`S MY TURN - ANGELIC 22 15 THERE YOU GO - PINK 23 NE MC LIGHT AND BOB MARLEY 24 20 IT`S MY LIFE - BON JOVI 25 16 OOPS I DID IT AGAIN - BRITNEY SPEARS 26 18 FORGOT ABOUT DRE - DR DRE/EMINEM 27 11 NEW BEGINING - STPHEN GATELY 28 NE EELS - FLYSWATER 29 NE BIG PIMPIN` - JAY Z. 30 21 DON`T CALL ME BABY - MADISON AVENUE 31 30 AMAZED - LONESTAR 32 12 UGLY - DAPHNE AND CELESTE 33 14 GOOD STUFF - KELIS 34 27 SEX BOMB - TOM JONES/MOUSSE T. 35 23 DAY AND NIGHT - BILLIE PIPER 36 28 BAD TOUCH - BLOODHOUND GANG 37 NE SEXUAL - AMBER 38 19 UNINTENDED - MUSE 39 33 TAKEN FOR GRANTED - S.I.A. 40 NE ST ETIENNE - HEART FAILED (IN THE BACK OF A TAXI) E. TYPE, KEVIN KENNEDY, EELS, and ST ETIENNE all missed the official chart top 50, in 2000...but we had `em in! We had 9 in the 10, 15 in the 20, 25 in the 30, and just 34 in the top 40! I would have thought that the E.TYPE football championships theme, would have made it in. Quickly finish with something I nicked, from somewhere else. A feature, where we pick three hits, that might/might not be big, in future weeks, based on pre-orders. So, check these out, for future release... HOME AGAIN - EDWYN COLLINS released 23rd June GERALDINE - GLAS VEGAS released 23rd June OFFICIALLY YOURS - CRAIG DAVID released 23rd June While, they may sale a few physically, I think they will all miss the combined download/physical top 40.

I remember the thread earlier in the year on Nickelback. I think we worked out that "Think Twice", by Celine Dion was one. The one I mentioned then was "So Macho", by Sinitta. She had a see-saw ride, up and down a top 200...and took 21 weeks to make the top 15, in July 1986.

Very much harder. Obviously, pre-order physicals are easy enough (with the guys, at HMV). The download factor, is worked out by a mean-average from 4 download sites, and divided by 4! This is then, added to the main chart, by examining dropping physical-alone sales gaps! Add in an equation, of a download with a physical release, divided by 3. Instore Album charts, are easier than singles, but it used to be the other way round. Yep, it does make your brain hurt! :lol:

Here is the weekly salute to the days of Radio Luxembourg`s idea "Next Week`s Chart". The day of the week, when our pals at HMV (Peter Jay and John Mcmanus) take a look at what`s been selling, and the pre-ordered bunch of today`s releases. All joined together, with chart info from Woolworths, WhSmith, Tesco, Sainsburys, Asda, Play.com, and Amazon.co.uk. Along with download sites, including the mighty iTunes. So, on today`s preview of what may happen next Sunday in Britain`s charts, we find the following... Today`s Albums apparently selling... 01 NE BEST OF - RADIOHEAD 02 NE YOU CAN DO ANYTHING - ZUTONS 03 02 ROCKFERRY - DUFFY 04 03 HERE I STAND - USHER 05 NE 22 DREAMS - PAUL WELLER 06 NE TOP GEAR ANTHEMS 08 - VARIOUS 07 05 CHILLED 91 - 08 - VARIOUS 08 04 HOME BEFORE DARK - NEIL DIAMOND 09 NE THIS IS ALPHABEAT - ALPHABEAT 10 NE CLUBBERS GUIDE SUMMER 2008 - VARIOUS 11 01 WE STARTED NOTHING - TING TINGS 12 06 EMERGENCY - PIGEON DETECTIVES 13 08 R + B THE COLLECTION - VARIOUS 14 16 CHANT - CISTERCIAN MONKS 15 07 JUMPING ALL OVER THE WORLD - SCOOTER 16 14 BEST OF - NEIL DIAMOND 17 NE GOOD GIRL GONE BAD-RELOADED - RIHANNA 18 NE GREATEST HITS - GUNS N` ROSES 19 28 101 DRIVING SONGS - VARIOUS 20 09 IN SILICO - PENDULUM 21 NE FOOTAPPERS - VARIOUS 22 12 LITTLE DREAMER - BETH ROWLEY 23 17 SCOUTING FOR GIRLS - SCOUTING FOR GIRLS 24 10 CLUBLAND CLASSIX - VARIOUS 25 13 NOW 69 - VARIOUS 26 15 SEX AND THE CITY - OST/VARIOUS 27 11 HARD CANDY - MADONNA 28 27 LESSONS TO BE LEARNED - GABRIELLA CILMI 29 24 BACK TO BLACK - AMY WINEHOUSE 30 NE ESSENTIAL - PAUL SIMON Outsiide the 30 today we found newies from EDDIE COCHRAN at 32, DARYL HALL/JOHN OATES at 35, ALANIS MORRISETTE at 36, TOM PETTY at 39, CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL at 40, ROYWORLD at 41. Other entries further down for...BABYSHAMBLES, CARLY SIMON, DISTURBED, ANDY ABRAHAM, OPETH, and AIMEE MANN...URIAH HEAP, and MUD HONEY were hoping to get a top 75 entry on the edge today. Previewing the singles... Today we found this outlook 01 01 TAKE A BOW - RIHANNA 02 02 THAT`S NOT MY NAME - TING TINGS 03 03 WARWICK AVENUE - DUFFY 04 RE SINGIN` IN THE RAIN - MINT ROYALE 05 05 4 MINUTES - MADONNA 06 06 CLOSER - NE YO 07 04 HEARTBREAKER - WILL I.

FERGIE is also in the 50. TIGERSPY is top 60, with JENNIFER HUDSON, SHANNON/EARL. BYE BYE (MARIAH CAREY) slips a bit. JESSE MCCARTNEY is in there, too. Last week we got a had a good preview, because the top 3 singles were (again) spot on. We had 10 in the top 10, 18 in the 20, 26 in the 30, and 34 in the top 40. As usual download alone tracks, messed us up, later in the week! In the album preview last week, we had 9 in the 10, 18 in the 20, and 28 in the top 30. Even though, we missed getting the number one album last week (well it was Bank Holiday!) Let`s take a look at the Radio Luxembourg "Next Week`s Top 30", from June 1st 1982... 01 03 FANTASY ISLAND - TIGHT FIT 02 02 LOOK OF LOVE - ABC 03 01 HOUSE OF FUN - MADNESS 04 04 TORCH - SOFT CELL 05 06 MAMA USED TO SAY - JUNIOR GISCOMBE 06 05 GOODY TWO SHOES - ADAM ANT 07 08 ISLAND OF LOST SOULS - BLONDIE 08 07 HUNGRY LIKE THE WOLF - DURAN DURN 09 26 WORK THAT BODY - DIANA ROSS 10 12 PAPERLATE - GENESIS 11 16 MEANING OF LOVE - DEPECHE MODE 12 10 ONLY YOU - YAZOO 13 13 FORGET-ME-NOTS - PATRICE RUSHEN 14 17 PINKY BLUE - ALTERED IMAGES 15 20 I`VE NEVER BEEN TO ME - CHARLENE 16 09 A LITTLE PEACE - NICOLE 17 22 BACK OF LOVE - ECHO AND THE BUNYMEN 18 30 BECAUSE YOU`RE YOUNG - CLASSIX NOUVEAU 19 14 CLUB COUNTRY - ASSOCIATES 20 NE I WANT CANDY - BOW WOW WOW 21 21 BRAVE NEW WORLD - TOYAH WILCOX 22 24 I`M A WONDERFUL THING BABY - KID CREOLE AND THE COCONUTS 23 25 AFTER THE GOLDRUSH - PRELUDE 24 16 NUMBER OF THE BEAST - IRON MAIDEN 25 NE FACE DANCES - PETE TOWNSEND 26 15 LOVE IS ALL IS ALRIGHT - UB40 27 18 CANTONESE BOY - JAPAN 28 19 WE HAVE A DREAM - SCOTTISH WORLD CUP SQUAD 29 NE LAS PALABRAS DE AMOUR - QUEEN 30 NE GOING TO A GO-GO - ROLLING STONES Radio Luxembourg, had 8 in the top 10, 15 in the 20, and 23 in the top 30. In those days, their chart was heavily laid, with airplay...sometimes it payed off. It has to be said that, they had ADAM ANT at number one, 2 weeks before anyone else. As did ALAN FREEMAN`s "PICK OF THE POPS-TAKE TWO", on Capital Radio, that same week. Luxembourg over-estimated the popularity, of singles with Classix Nouveau, and Pete Townsend.

Another bumper bunch of charts, for late Friday. The usual bunch of Films, DVDs, Albums, a flashback to 1983, and finally Mr Dave Richard Taylor, will slip in the Singles top 50 (bang up todate) when he gets back from his weekly Hospital stint. Let`s start, with the top films this week... w/k ending 6th Jun 2008 01 NE INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL 02 02 WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS 03 01 IRON MAN 04 03 FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL 05 04 NIM`S ISLAND 06 05 SPEED RACER 07 06 MADE OF HONOR 08 07 DOOMSDAY 09 09 SUKKAR BANAT 10 08 IN BRUGES The new INDIANA JONES takes in £12,227,799 in one week! Having travelled into the cinema, on Wednesday I heard a couple saying, that they must watch this new SUCK A BANANA film! No wonder SUKKAR BANAT sticks this week! (The top films are compiled by Screen International, for UK Box Office) Here are this week`s top dvd films... 01 01 PS I LOVE YOU 02 NE SWEENEY TODD DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET 03 NE BEE MOVIE 04 02 ALIEN VS PREDATOR REQUIEM 05 03 I AM LEGEND 06 04 GOLDEN COMPASS 07 07 RUN FAT BOY RUN 08 05 CHARLIE WILSON`S WAR 09 10 STARDUST 10 06 IN THE VALLEY OF ELAH Now this week, more people rented PS I LOVE YOU, than actually bought it. SWEENEY TODD was the most "buy for keeps" dvd, with a combined total of renters/buyers standing at 59,319. (The top dvds are compiled by a combination of mrib/Blockbuster rentals). Here are the top 20 albums, this week... 01 NE HERE I STAND - USHER 02 03 ROCKFERRY - DUFFY 03 05 MINISTRY OF SOUND PRESENTS CHILLED 91 - 08 - VARIOUS 04 02 HOME BEFORE DARK - NEIL DIAMOND 05 NE EMERGENCY - PIGEON DETECTIVES 06 01 WE STARTED NOTHING - TING TINGS 07 04 JUMPING ALL OVER THE WORLD - SCOOTER 08 06 R + B COLLECTION SPRING 2008 - VARIOUS 09 07 IN SILICO - PENDULUM 10 10 CLUBLAND CLASSIX - VARIOUS 11 08 LITTLE DREAMER - BETH ROWLEY 12 12 CHANT - CISTERCIAN MONKS 13 11 NOW 69 - VARIOUS 14 16 BEST OF - NEIL DIAMOND 15 13 SCOUTING FOR GIRLS - SCOUTING FOR GIRLS 16 23 101 DRIVING SONGS - VARIOUS 17 09 HARD CANDY - MADONNA 18 NE SEX AND THE CITY - OST/VARIOUS 19 19 BACK TO BLACK - AMY WINEHOUSE 20 17 DAVE PEARCE TRANCE ANTHEMS - VARIOUS At one point the CHILLED compilation, was even outselling USHER, and DUFFY (That was early on). Though today, USHER ends up 12,000 ahead of DUFFY...SEX AND THE CITY, being the biggest Soundtrack (top film next week?) (The album chart is compiled by stores, and download sites up to, and including Wednesday night). Remember the top albums, this week in 1983? w/k ending 4th June 83 01 01 TRUE - SPANDAU BALLET 02 03 THRILLER - MICHAEL JACKSON 03 02 LUXURY GAP - HEAVEN 17 04 04 LET`S DANCE - DAVID BOWIE 05 15 PIECE OF MIND - IRON MAIDEN 06 19 CONFRONTATION - BOB MARLEY 07 05 PURE CORRUPTION AND LIES - NEW ORDER 08 08 NIGHT DUBBING - IMAGINATION 09 06 THE HURTING - TEARS FOR FEARS 10 14 TWICE AS KOOL - KOOL AND THE GANG 11 20 THE FEAST - CREATURES 12 13 DRESSED FOR THE OCCASION - CLIFF RICHARD/LONDON PHILARMONIC ORCHESTRA 13 07 CARGO - MEN AT WORK 14 12 QUICK STEP AND SIDE KICK - THOMPSON TWINS 15 10 FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF NIGHT - BONNIE TYLER 16 09 MIDNIGHT AT THE LOST AND FOUND - MEAT LOAF 17 25 CHART ENCOUNTERS OF THE HIT KIND - VARIOUS 18 16 SWEET DREAMS - EURYTHMICS 19 18 FINAL CUT - PINK FLOYD 20 24 WHAMMY - B-52`S SPANDAU BALLET reigning supreme in 83. HEAVEN 17, a close 2nd, and THRILLER, a close 3rd (rather like this week`s album chart). DAVID BOWIE was just off the number one single (with LET`S DANCE) and the album, of the same name stuck at 4. IRON MAIDEN doing well. NEW ORDER with BLUE MONDAY (as a 12" single only). The album going down, here. IMAGINATION`s singles were beginning to dry up, chartwise...but the album was doing good. BOB MARLET passed away in 1981, but became one of the biggest reggae acts, of the 80s. The CREATURES, were more or less SIOUXIE AND THE BANSHEES (covering such songs, as the way old "RIGHT NOW"). B-52`s, had the album "WHAMMY", but singles in 1983 were almost non-existent. Only one compilation in the top 20..a recent hits comp, "CHART ENCOUNTERS OF THE HIT KIND". The only other compilation, in the top 30 was "THE LAUGHTER AND TEARS COLLECTION", a love collection. The singles in 1983... w/k ending 4th June 83 01 10 EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE - POLICE 02 03 CANDY GIRL - NEW EDITION 03 05 BAD BOYS - WHAM! 04 04 CAN`T GET USED TO LOSING YOU - THE BEAT 05 08 NOBODY`S DIARY - YAZOO 06 02 TEMPTATION - HEAVEN 17 07 01 TRUE - SPANDAU BALLET 08 11 BUFFALO SOLDIER - BOB MARLEY AND THE WAILERS 09 14 MONEY GO ROUND - STYLE COUNCIL 10 20 JUST GOT LUCKY - JOBOXERS 11 27 LOVE TOWN - BOOKER NEWBERRY III 12 13 WHAT KINDA BOY YOU LOOKING FOR GIRL - HOT CHOCOLATE 13 06 DANCING TIGHT - GALAXY/PHIL FEARON 14 07 OUR LIPS OUR SEALED - FUN BOY THREE 15 22 GLORY GLORY MAN UTD - MANCHESTER UNITED CUP FINAL SQUAD 16 09 BLIND VISION - BLANCMANGE 17 23 FEEL THE NEED IN ME - FORREST 18 42 IN A BIG COUNTRY - BIG COUNTRY 19 32 LADY LOVE ME ONE MORE TIME - GEORGE BENSON 20 12 KEEP FEELING FASCINATION - HUMAN LEAGUE 21 15 PALE SHELTER - TEARS FOR FEARS 22 28 MUSIC - D TRAIN 23 33 STOP AND GO - DAVID GRANT 24 40 WAITING FOR A TRAIN - FLASH AND THE PAN 25 17 WORDS - F.R.

THE BEAT sang ANDY WILLIAMS top 3 hit from 63, JO BOXERS folowed up BOXER BEAT, HEAVEN 17 finally scored a big hit (after a 1981 flop). STYLE COUNCIL had their 2nd toptenner, after "SPEAK LIKE A CHILD", So PAUL WELLER was happy (rather like this week). Shall I state, the "bleeding obvious", with MAN UTD?! As Reading, drop from the Premiership...No! (At least JOHN MADEJSKI, can hold on to his wallet). PHIL FEARON had his first biggy, with GALAXY..Soul all over the place, with GEORGE BENSON, as well as smooth jazzy type with AL JAREAU. FUN BOY THREE sang a GO GO`s earlier hit (the GO GO`s featured a young BELINDA CARLISLE, of course). FORREST covered the DETROIT EMERALDS 1973 and 77 hit (also covered by SHAKIN` STEVENS in 1987, among others). Dance hits from D TRAIN, and MTUME. DAVID JOSEPH had a 2nd hit (away from 70s outfit HI TENSION). HALL AND OATES "FAMILY MAN" was written by MIKE OLDFIELD. ALTERED IMAGES (and the lovely CLARE GROGAN) were drying up. MODERN ROMANCE were struggling, but did revive themselves, for another top ten hit, later in 1983. AGNETHA FALTSKOG (the blonde from ABBA) tried solo, and just a couple of years back covered a CILLA BLACK hit "IF I THOUGHT YOU`D EVER CHANGE YOUR MIND". Finally ROBERT WYATT was back in the singles chart, following a 1974 rendition of the MONKEES/NEIL DIAMOND`s "I`M A BELIEVER". (The vintage charts, were compiled by MRIB). with special thanks to Colin, (as the proofreader, and spellchecker). Thanks Col!! Hang On Dave will hopefully come in pretty soon, to complete the latest single/track chart (brought up todate, with Chart Show TV`s chart, but with today`s added sales). So, stick with it...

Very, very close today in points/average figures, for stores. Also, the boys could not get Woolworths chart figures, but that should not make a significant difference.

Now, who else brings a new chart, on a Bank Holiday! :yahoo: Have to thank Peter Jay and John McManus, for their time today. In our preview of what may happen in next Sunday`s Countdown, with Scott Mills. Last week on the albums, we had 8 in the top 10, 19 in the 20...and only 24 in the 30. A few pre-orders let us down, and surprisingly the Searchers stayed in the combined top 30, as did my mate Frank Sinatra! Today the albums apparently, look this way... 01 01 WE STARTED NOTHING - TING TINGS 02 03 ROCKFERRY - DUFFY 03 NE HERE I STAND - USHER 04 02 HOME BEFORE DARK - NEIL DIAMOND 05 11 CHILLED 91-08 - VARIOUS 06 NE EMERGENCY - PIGEON DETECTIVES 07 04 JUMPING ALL OVER THE WORLD - SCOOTER 08 16 R + B COLLECTION - VARIOUS 09 05 IN SILICO - PENDULUM 10 09 CLUBLAND CLASSIX - VARIOUS 11 06 HARD CANDY - MADONNA 12 07 LITTLE DREAMER - BETH ROWLEY 13 13 NOW 69 - VARIOUS 14 24 BEST OF - NEIL DIAMOND 15 NE SEX AND THE CITY - OST/VARIOUS 16 19 CISTERCIAN MONKS - CHANT 17 12 SCOUTING FOR GIRLS - SCOUTING FOR GIRLS 18 NE ULTIMATE COLLECTION - RUSSELL WATSON 19 14 CREAM 15 YEARS - VARIOUS 20 NE PINK AND THE LILY - SANDI THOM 21 NE ZOMBIES AND BEYOND - COLIN BLUNSTONE/ZOMBIES 22 NE GIRLS IN THE CITY - VARIOUS 23 RE ESSENTIAL SELECTION - NEIL DIAMOND 24 22 BACK TO BLACK - AMY WINEHOUSE 25 17 TRANCE ANTHEMS - DAVE PEARCE/VARIOUS 26 31 VAMPIRE WEEKEND - VAMPIRE WEEKEND 27 15 LESSONS TO BE LEARNED - GABRIELLA CILMI 28 32 101 DRIVING SONGS - VARIOUS 29 25 SMASH HITS 80S - VARIOUS 30 NE THIS IS NOT THE WORLD - FUTUREHEADS Entries outside the top 30 for: KIDS IN GLASS HOUSES at 34, SPIRITUALIZED at 35, NEW CLASSIX 2008 at 36, ASHLEE SIMPSON at 37, and CRAZYFISTS (TIDE AND IT`S TAKERS) is 46. The top 3, pretty close today apparently. On the singles front, last week we had 9 in the top 10! :yahoo: And nearly correct order too! We had 17 in the 20, 28 in the 30, but only 34 in the top 40...a couple of downloads alone, and long runners put it out. Today the team saw this preview, of singles/tracks... 01 01 TAKE A BOW - RIHANNA 02 02 THAT`S NOT MY NAME - TING TINGS 03 07 WARWICK AVENUE - DUFFY 04 04 HEARTBREAKER - WILL I.

Further down, download entries also for: KOLOMOIRA at 66, and MYSTERY JETS at 70. KAT DELUNA is on the edge of a top 75. What happened in 1995? Here was what we came up with then... Mon 29th May 1995 01 NE SCREAM - MICHAEL JACKSON 02 01 UCHAINED MELODY/WHITE CLIFFS OF DOVER - ROBSON AND JEROME 03 19 COMMON PEOPLE - PULP 04 10 EVERYBODYS GOT TO LEARN SOMETIME - BABY D. 05 04 GUALIONE - PEREZ PRADO 06 02 SCATMAN - SCATMAN JOHN 07 03 THAT LOOK IN YOUR EYE - ALI CAMPBELL 08 05 SURRENDER YOUR LOVE - NIGHTCRAWLERS 09 NE THIS AIN`T A LOVE SONG - BON JOVI 10 NE A WHITER SHADE OF PALE - ANNIE LENNOX 11 NE THINK OF YOU - WHIGFIELD 12 11 YES - MCALMONT AND BUTLER 13 18 HURT SO GOOD - JIMMY SOMERVILLE 14 28 SWING LOW SWEET CHARIOT - CHINA BLACK 15 06 YOUR LOVIN` ARMS - BILLY RAY MARTIN 16 36 NAKED - REEF 17 08 DREAMER - LIVIN JOY 18 17 THIS IS HOW WE DO IT - MONTELL JORDAN 19 34 STORIES - THERAPY 20 07 ONLY ONE ROAD - CELINE DION 21 15 JESSIE - JOSHUA CADESON 22 51 BELIEVE - HAPPYCLAPPERS 23 14 I`M IN CHAINS - TINA ARENA 24 09 FREEDOM - MICHELLE GAYLE 25 24 FAKE PLASTIC TREES - RADIOHEAD 26 16 MADE IN ENGLAND - ELTON JOHN 27 25 HAVE YOU EVER REALLY LOVED A WOMAN - BRYAN ADAMS 28 31 THIS TIME - CURTIS STIGERS 29 29 I BELIEVE - BLESSED UNION OF SOULS 30 21 BACK FOR GOOD - TAKE THAT 31 23 DON`T STOP - OUTHERE BROTHERS 32 49 WIZARD OF THE SONIC - WEST BAM 33 NE STAYING OUT FOR SUMMER - DODGY 34 48 I WANNA BE DOWN - BRANDY 35 NE REVERAND BLACK GRAPE - BLACK GRAPE 36 NE SERCRET LOVE - DANIEL O` DONNELL/MARY DUFF 37 NE SEX ON THE STREETS - PIZZAMAN 38 NE AS LONG AS YOU`RE GOOD TO ME/YOU`RE THE STORY OF MY LIFE - JUDY CHEEKS 39 NE DON`T MAKE ME WAIT - LOVELAND 40 NE BEAUTIFUL - MARILLION In 1995, we had 9 in the 10, 17 in the 20, 23 in the 30, and 34 in the top 40. Two hits from 1975, in the 1995 chart with JIMMY SOMERVILLE covering SUSAN CADOGAN`s 75 hit "HURT SO GOOD", and CHINA BLACK doing the old negro song "SWING LOW SWEET CHARIOT", which was a surprise top 20 hit, in 75 for ERIC CLAPTON...And later became a rugby anthem, but it`s even older than all of that and probably one of the oldest ever songs to chart. ELTON JOHN was MADE IN ENGLAND, right next door to BRYAN ADAMS...I found it rather funny here, because I suddenly thought just imagine, BRYAN ADAMS saying to ELTON JOHN, "Say Elton, have you ever really loved a woman!"
