trevs

Very surprised myself. Doing pretty good today in both HMV and WOOLIES. The album IN PICTURES is just outside the top 30 too. How come you have become MART!N...instead of the loveable M!KEY??? I`m sure everybody wants to know.........

We have been around the stores again today, that is HMV, WOOLWORTHS and 2 smaller stockists. Taking in their sales since Yesterday, adding in the download sites, of Tesco, HMV, Woolworths, and the big iTunes. As radioplay is letting our charts down each week, we have knocked the airplay off. So its just 50/50 shop sales, and downloads. Let`s go to today`s averaged albums... 01 06 TENOR AT THE MOVIES - JONATHAN ANSELL 02 01 JOIN WITH US - FEELING 03 08 BACK TO BLACK (BOTH VERSIONS) - AMY WINEHOUSE 04 NE MUM`S FAVOURITE SONGS - VARIOUS 05 NE SEVENTH TREE - GOLDFRAPP 06 NE FROM DONNY WITH LOVE - DONNY OSMOND 07 02 ALL THE RIGHT REASONS - NICKELBACK 08 05 LIFE IN CARTOON MOTION - MIKA 09 11 VERSION - MARK RONSON 10 09 THRILLER 25TH - MICHAEL JACKSON 11 19 YOU RAISE ME UP 08 - VARIOUS 12 03 19 - ADELE 13 16 GOOD GIRL GONE BAD - RIHANNA 14 NE STARS (COLLECTORS EDITION) - SIMPLY RED 15 25 JUST FOR YOU - VARIOUS 16 12 BEST OF EUPHORIC DANCE 08 - VARIOUS 17 04 SLEEP THRU THE STATIC - JACK JOHNSON 18 05 BRITS HITS - VARIOUS 19 17 THIS IS THE LIFE - AMY MACDONALD 20 22 SPIRIT - LEONA 21 13 SET THE MOOD - DAVID JORDAN JONATHAN ANSELL goes to the top of the albums, a bit of a surprise. Outside the 20 today we found ULTIMATE NRG at 22, MICHAEL BUBLE at 23, JOHNNY MATHIS (A NIGHT TO REMEMBER) at 24, BILLY FURY 25, SCOUTING FOR GIRLS 26, JOE BROWN 27. Further down entries for HERE COME THE GIRLS 3, TOP OF THE POPS 80s, SOUND OF BASSLINE, and CLARE TEAL enters at 37, with GET HAPPY. If we had both versions of BACK TO BLACK listed separately, it would be at 5, and 18, pushing MUM`S FAVOURITE SONGS to 3, and GOLDFRAPP to 4. Today we found a top 30 singles chart... 01 02 MERCY - DUFFY 02 01 WHAT`S IT GONNA BE - H TWO 0 03 03 ROCKSTAR - NICKELBACK 04 04 NOW YOU`RE GONE - BASSHUNTER 05 05 WOW - KYLIE MINOGUE 06 07 STOP AND STARE - ONE REPUBLIC 07 06 CHASING PAVEMENTS - ADELE 08 09 DON`T STOP THE MUSIC - RIHANNA 09 08 SUN GOES DOWN - DAVID JORDAN 10 11 WORK - KELLY ROWLAND 11 NE IF THE LIGHTS GO OUT - KATIE MELUA 12 15 JUST FOR TONIGHT - ONE NIGHT ONLY 13 30 VALERIE - AMY/MARK 14 31 LOW - FLOR IDA 15 26 COME ON GIRL - TAIO CRUZ 16 22 SCREAM - TIMBALAND 17 12 PIECE OF ME - BRITNEY 18 11 I THOUGHT IT WAS OVER - FEELING 19 21 READY FOR THE FLOOR - HOT CHIP 20 19 CRANK THAT - SOULJA BOY 21 14 SUPERSTAR - LUPE FIASCO 22 18 A & E - GOLDFRAPP 23 41 WITH YOU - CHRIS BROWN 24 23 SOMETHING GOOD - UTAH SAINTS 25 25 APOLOGISE - ONE REPUBLIC 26 24 ELVIS AIN`T DEAD - SCOUTING FOR GIRLS 27 36 NEW SOUL - YAEL NAIM 28 32 RULE THE WORLD - TAKE THAT 29 29 NO ONE - ALICIA KEYS 30 35 RELAX - MIKA Static chart next week, apart from KATIE MELUA, it looks!! KANYE WEST hangs in the 40, at 31, as does JAY SEAN, SIMPLE PLAN, MARK BROWN, WOMBATS, LEONA, ROBYN...There are entries for R.E.M, and ALICIA KEYS (LIKE YOU`LL NEVER SEE ME AGAIN) at 32...meanwhile YOUNG KNIVES and UP ALL NIGHT, are right at the end of what would be the top 60. GIRLS ALOUD, CAN`T SPEAK FRENCH is at 38. Let`s look back to 1998, in the chart we did then. On Happening Radio (the Student station, I broadcasted this chart, on Monday 23rd Feb 1998...the chart actually for w/k ending 7th Mar 98... 01 01 MY HEART WILL GO ON - CELINE DION 02 03 BRIMFUL OF ASHA - CORNERSHOP 03 NE FROZEN - MADONNA 04 02 DOCTOR JONES - AQUA 05 NE BALLAD OF TOM JONES - SPACE/CERYS MATTHEWS 06 11 TRULY MADLY DEEPLY - SAVAGE GARDEN 07 NE TRULY - STEPHEN HOUGHTON 08 NE HOW DO I LIVE WITHOUT YOU - LEANN RIMES 09 09 WHEN I NEED YOU - WILL MELLOR 10 05 BE ALONE NO MORE - ANOTHER LEVEL 11 06 NEVER EVER - ALL SAINTS 12 NE SHOW ME LOVE - ROBYN 13 08 GETTING JIGGY WITH IT - WILL SMITH 14 16 STILL THE ONE - SHANIA TWAIN 15 NE YOUR LOVE GET`S SWEETER - FINLAY QUAY 16 07 ANGELS - ROBBIE WILLIAMS 17 12 LET ME SHOW YOU - CAMISRA 18 NE UNFORGIVEN II - METALLICA 19 NE MUSIC IN MY MIND - ADAM FENTON 20 NE WHO AM I - BEENIE MAN 21 19 CLEOPATRA`S THEME - CLEOPATRA 22 13 IT`S A BEAUTIFUL THING - OCEAN COLOUR SCENE 23 04 TREAT INFAMY - REST ASSURED 24 14 ALL I HAVE TO GIVE - BACK STREET BOYS 25 22 TOGETHER AGAIN - JANET JACKSON 26 15 HIGH - LIGHTHOUSE FAMILY 27 21 YOU MAKE ME WANNA - USHER 28 NE IF YOU WANT ME - HINDA HICKS 29 10 TELE-FUNKIN` - N`TYCE 30 NE MAKE THE WORLD GO AROUND - SANDY B. In 98, I played 28 out of the actual next weeks top 30! But missed IGGY POP and PASSENGER (which was bubbling at 33). We had CATATONIA down to 31 (they were 29 on the following Sunday). We had BLACK GRAPE at 32, but they only made 46 officially. Also we had MERIDITH BROOKES at 35 (only got to 49 officially, and we also had YOUNG OFFENDERS at 38 (they only got to 60 officially)!!!!! We missed with QUEEN PENN and the song, MAN BEHIND THE MUSIC officially 37, it did not appear in our top 50!!

Girls Aloud at 66, Ang!

Here we go, with another Saturday and this week`s set of charts (courtesy of Dave Taylor, daverictaylor@yahoo.co.uk). This week`s trawl, brings the album top 15, the top films, top dvds, and rounding off with the singles. All back to back with a sneaking look back to Feb 1983. Off to the album top 15... w/k ending 29/02 01 NE JOIN WITH US - THE FEELING 02 02 ALL THE RIGHT REASONS - NICKELBACK 03 04 THRILLER 25TH - MICHAEL JACKSON 04 NE BEST OF EUPHORIC DANCE BREAKDOWN 08 - VARIOUS ARTISTS 05 01 SLEEP TROUGH THE STATIC - JACK JOHNSON 06 03 19 - ADELE 07 18 LIFE IN CARTOON MOTION - MIKA 08 NE BRITS HITS 2008 - VARIOUS ARTISTS 09 13 GOOD GIRL GONE BAD - RIHANNA 10 09 STARTED A FIRE - ONE NIGHT ONLY 11 11 RAISING SAND - PLANT/KRAUS 12 07 SCOUTING FOR GIRLS - SCOUTING FOR GIRLS 13 12 THIS IS THE LIFE - AMY MACDONALD 14 17 BACK TO BLACK - AMY WINEHOUSE 15 14 ULTIMATE NRG - VARIOUS ARTISTS The other entries in the top 30 albums, come from JOE BROWN, SIMPLE PLAN and two other VA Compilations, YOU RAISE ME UP 08 (scrapes the top 20), and JUST FOR YOU, slightly further down. Meanwhile, DREAMBOATS AND PETTICOATS also hangs in the top 20. All that, and the BRITS awards dominating the chart. Expect GOLDFRAPP to smash into the top 5, next week. Who remembers 1983? The albums... w/k ending 25th Feb 1983 01 01 BUSINESS AS USUAL - MEN AT WORK 02 02 PORCUPINE - ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN 03 06 THRILLER - MICHAEL JACKSON 04 03 NIGHT AND DAY - JOE JACKSON 05 05 HELLO I MUST BE GOING - PHIL COLLINS 06 19 ANOTHER PAGE - CHRISTOPHER CROSS 07 22 WAITING - FUN BOY THREE 08 04 JOHN LENNON COLLECTION - JOHN LENNON 09 21 FRONTIERS - JOURNEY 10 14 BELLE STARS - BELLE STARS 11 11 ALL THE BEST - STIFF LITTLE FINGERS 12 09 HEARTBREAKER - DIONNE WARWICK 13 07 KILLER ON THE RAMPAGE - EDDY GRANT 14 33 MONEY AND CIGARETTES - ERIC CLAPTON 15 16 DIFFICULT SHAPES AND PASSIVE RYTHYMS - CHINA CRISIS 16 10 RICHARD CLAYDERMAN - RICHARD CLAYDERMAN 17 08 FELINE - STRANGLERS 18 26 PEARLS II - ELKIE BROOKES 19 NE POWERLIGHT - EARTH WIND AND FIRE 20 25 RIO - DURAN DURAN Well in 1983, there were no VA Compilations in the top 20 (although VISIONS had just slipped 4 places, to 21)!! It was THRILLER the first time around at 3, and a number of artists, who could never quite make it in the singles chart. True to say that ERIC CLAPTON, JOURNEY and RICHARD CLAYDERMAN preferred the album market. RICHARD CLAYDERMAN of course the french, piano playing artiste. ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN appealed to a select group, The STRANGLERS had done well with FELINE (spourning the top ten single EUROPEAN FEMALE). EDDY GRANT spourned the number 2 single, from the album KILLER ON THE RAMPAGE (ELECTRIC AVENUE). CHINA CRISIS are back for 2008 (their new single is a re-working of the MICHAEL HOLLIDAY 1960 number one, STARRY EYED, check it out)!! Here are 1983`s singles w/k ending 25th Feb 1983 01 01 TOO SHY - KAJAGOOGOO 02 07 BILLIE JEAN - MICHAEL JACKSON 03 08 AFRICA - TOTO 04 03 CHANGE - TEARS FOR FEARS 05 04 SIGN OF THE TIMES - BELLE STARS 06 02 DOWN UNDER - MEN AT WORK 07 05 UP WHERE WE BELONG - JOE COCKER/JENNIFER WARNES 08 06 WHAM RAP (ENJOY WHAT YOU DO) - WHAM 09 27 TOMORROW`S JUST ANOTHER DAY - MADNESS 10 17 TUNNEL OF LOVE - FUN BOY THREE 11 24 NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP - MUSICAL YOUTH 12 19 LOVE ON YOUR SIDE - THOMSON TWINS 13 09 OH DIANE - FLEETWOOD MAC 14 13 CHRISTIAN - CHINA CRISIS 15 12 LAST NIGHT A DJ SAVED MY LIFE - INDEEP 16 11 GLORIA - LAURA BRANIGAN 17 10 ELECTRIC AVENUE - EDDY GRANT 18 28 SHINY SHINY - HAYSI FANTAYSEE 19 NE TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART - BONNIE TYLER 20 22 GET THE BALANCE RIGHT - DEPECHE MODE 21 34 HEY LITTLE GIRL - ICEHOUSE 22 37 GENETIC ENGINEERING - ORCHESTRAL MANOUEVRES IN THE DARK 23 35 BABY COME TO ME - PATTI AUSTIN/JAMES INGRAM 24 21 STORY OF THE BLUES - WAH 25 NE WAVES - BLANCMANGE 26 14 THE CUTTER - ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN 27 39 SWEET DREAMS (ARE MADE OF THIS) - EURYTHMICS 28 29 COMMUNICATION - SPANDAU BALLET 29 25 COLD SWEAT - THIN LIZZY 30 16 NEW YEAR`S DAY - U2 2nd week at the top, for KAJAGOOGOO in 83. TOTO did take their name from the dog in the WIZARD OF OZ, surprise surprise! TEARS FOR FEARS were doing good, and followed up MAD WORLD with CHANGE (which actually went to number one, in one chart, at the time). JOE COCKER returned to the chart, after a 13 year break...The BELLE STARS scored their only top tenner, after just missing with the CLAPPING SONG (a reworked version of a SHIRLEY ELLIS top 3 hit), themselves the BELLE STARS, had previously had competition from NATASHA ENGLAND (who had her version of IKO IKO out in June 1982, the same time as the BELLE STARS version). NATASHA recently revived her song, but it did not sell well at all. LAURA BRANIGAN passed away a few years back, but in 83 she wasa going down the chart, with a re-worked Euro-hit from 1979 (that was covered in the UK in 79, by the outrageous JONATHON KING). DEPECHE MODE actually got some airplay on Radio 2, with GET THE BALANCE RIGHT on the DAVID HAMILTON SHOW. My particular favourite cover in 1983, was NATURE BOY by CENTRAL LINE which this week in 83, had slid 10 places to 31! Also sliding outside the top 30 were, PRINCE (1999, the first time around down from 31 to 34). ROCKERS REVENGE folowed up WALKING ON SUNSHINE with THE HARDER THEY COME but, only managed to sneak into the top 30 and this week slid 2 places to 35. ELVIS PRESLEY return to the chart 25 years after the original release of JAILHOUSE ROCK, but only managed 32 on the MRIB chart. PATTI AUSTIN had sung on the 1981 top 20 hit "RAZZAMATAZZ", by QUINCY JONES. Here she was 2 years later, with JAMES INGRAM...JAMES well known, for the duet (he also sung with MICHAEL MCDONALD in 1985, LINDA RONSTADT in 1987, and so on). Here are this week`s top films... w/k ending 29/02/08 01 NE JUMPER 02 01 NATIONAL TREASURES-BOOK OF SECRETS 03 02 JUNO 04 05 WATER HORSE-LEGEND OF THE DEEP 05 03 CLOVERFIELD 06 NE BUCKET LIST 07 NE THERE WILL BE BLOOD 08 06 DEFINATELY, MAYBE 09 08 PENELOPE 10 NE JODKAA AKDAR The top DVD offline rentals... w/k ending 29/02/08 01 NE BRAVE ONE 02 NE RATATOUILLE 03 NE MR BROOKS 04 02 HEARTBREAK KID 05 04 THE KINGDOM 06 01 ATONEMENT 07 07 SUPERBAD 08 03 WEDDING DAZE 09 08 KNOCKED UP 10 NE 3.10 TO YUMA Here are the top 5 owned cars in Britain (well it`s different)!!! 01 FORD FOCUS 125,000 02 OPEL/VAUXHALL ASTRA 113, 894 03 FORD FIESTA 104,000 04 OPEL VAUXHALL CORSA 94,000 05 PEUGEOT 207 70,000 In Europe... 01 PEUGEOT 207 437,505 02 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF 435,055 03 FORD FOCUS 406,557 04 OPEL/VAUXHALL CORSA 402,173 05 OPEL/VAUXHALL ASTRA 402,044 On to this weeks all important selling singles, physically this week the top 5 are 1) H TWO 0, 2) KYLIE MINOGUE, 3) NICKLEBACK, 4) BASSHUNTER, 5) DAVID JORDAN...Download top 5, 1) DUFFY, 2) H TWO 0, 3) NICKELBACK, 4) BASSHUNTER 5) ADELE...How`s it look when put together?....

It sells nearly 8, 000 more copies than H TWO 0...a large gap equally between H TWO 0, and KYLIE neck and neck with BASSHUNTER. Obviously the 9 week download only version, kept KYLIE out of the top 3...but even physically the song is available in at least 3 versions. Outside the top 45, slides T2 at 46...AMY WINEHOUSE bangs back up with REHAB and BACK TO BLACK...ROCKFERRY (DUFFY`s second offering is hanging in the 50, with the HOOSIERS, and GOODBYE MR A, which just won`t say goodbye to the top 50. NEWTON FAULKNER goes back up this week, as does STOP ME and MARK RONSON. NICK CAVE/BAD SEEDS misses the top 50, by a couple, and SEAN KINGSTON is at 55. Next week look out for entries from R.E.M, GARY NUMAN, BODIES WITHOUT ORGANS, and KATIE MELUA. Join us for NEXT WEEK`s CHART, Monday from 4.30pm, and find out what could happen. Remember last week, we told you first that KYLIE would make the top 5!

Hi Mikey, slightly warmer day today, just slightly! How much have this bunch of eight fallen since Sun, mate?... Lupe Fiasco Valerie Robyn Jay Sean Mika Wombats Leona Mark Brown Thank you!

Hi Ang, We are pretty on with Kylie. What`s happening though is the amount of download only material is messing our lot up. The airplay pushing Craig AND Mark Ronson right up on the combi (excluding the downloads). Out of Office, at the moment in a physical chart would be in the top 20, without airplay (which is minimal on that track).

Hi Mikey how are you old boy? The top 10 we came up with yesterday looks pretty good. Although 11 - 20, was difficult and we had a 50/50 physical/airplay equation hence Craig, Ronson, Out of Office combi in the 20...so they were being bought a tad more physically it seems. How much have the following fallen since Sun? Lupe Fiasco Hot Chip Soulja Boy Mark Brown Apologise (timbaland) Elvis (SFG) Robyn Mary J. Blige Many Thanks!!!

So here we are on a Monday, when I get together with some chums (who work in and around the music biz), and we go around the town shops, and have a look at what has been selling since yesterday. We take 4 record stores sales, 4 download sites, add in 20% of radio/tv play, put it together, and come up with the following... Today we came up with this, in the albums... 01 NE JOIN WITH US - THE FEELING 02 03 ALL THE RIGHT REASONS - NICKELBACK 03 02 19 - ADELE 04 01 SLEEP THROUGH THE STATIC - JACK JOHNSON 05 NE BRITS O8 - VARIOUS ARTISTS 06 17 LIFE IN CARTOON MOTION - MIKA 07 NE TENOR AT THE MOVIES - JONATHAN ANSELL 08 RE BACK TO BLACK (BOTH EDITIONS) - AMY WINEHOUSE 09 18 THRILLER 25TH ANNIVERSARY - MICHAEL JACKSON 10 07 SCOUTING FOR GIRLS - SCOUTING FOR GIRLS 11 NE BREAKDOWN 08-VERY BEST OF EUPHORIC DANCE - VARIOUS ARTISTS 12 RE VERSION - MARK RONSON 13 16 SET THE MOOD - DAVID JORDAN 14 12 STARTED A FIRE - ONE NIGHT ONLY 15 11 RAISING SAND - PLANT AND KRAUSS 16 10 GOOD GIRL GONE BAD - RIHANNA 17 14 THIS IS THE LIFE - AMY MACDONALD 18 04 GREATEST HITS - MORRISEY 19 NE YOU RAISE ME UP 2008 - VARIOUS ARTISTS 20 20 DREAMBOATS AND PETTICOATS - VARIOUS ARTISTS Just outside the top 20 today, we found new entries from SHERYL CROW at 24, KYLIE is up to 28, LEONA LEWIS back up to 22, SIMPLE PLAN at 35, and JOE BROWN`s GREATEST HITS is in at number 42. PAUL MCCARTNEY has a couple of albums in the top 50. On the singles front, we had a hard job. The top ten was simple, but the rest full of download only tracks was the hardest chart, we ever put together, in 19 years! So in the end we relegated the 11 - 20, to physical and radioplay. Anyway we came up with this... 01 13 WHAT`S IT GONNA BE - H TWO O 02 NE MERCY - DUFFY 03 01 ROCKSTAR - NICKELBACK 04 02 NOW YOUR`E GONE - BASSHUNTER 05 09 WOW - KYLIE MINOGUE 06 05 CHASING PAVEMENTS - ADELE 07 NE STOP AND STARE - ONE REPUBLIC 08 06 SUN GOES DOWN - DAVID JORDAN 09 07 DON`T STOP THE MUSIC - RIHANNA 10 03 I THOUGHT IT WAS OVER - THE FEELING 11 08 WORK - KELLY ROWLAND 12 10 PIECE OF ME - BRITNEY SPEARS 13 NE 6 0F ONE - CRAIG DAVID 14 11 SUPERSTAR - LUPE FIASCO 15 15 JUST FOR TONIGHT - ONE NIGHT ONLY 16 16 HOMECOMING - KANYE WEST 17 NE JUST - MARK RONSON 18 04 A & E - GOLDFRAPP 19 17 CRANK THAT - SOULJABOY 20 NE BREAK OF DAWN 08 - OUT OF OFFICE Outside the 20, HOT CHIP 21, TIMBALAND 22 (SCREAM), UTAH SAINTS 23, SCOUTING FOR GIRLS 24, APOLOGISE 25, TAIO CRUZ 26, MARK BROWN 27, ROBYN 28, ALICIA KEYS 29, VALERIE at 30...We had problems with REM, GNARLS BARKLEY but they are close in the top 40, doing well in Woolworths/HMVdownloads, and further down on iTUNES. FLO RIDA, YAEL NAIM also in the 40...and CHRIS BROWN top 50. NICK CAVE/BAD SEEDS, and the RASCALS also scrape the far low regions of what would be a top 100. How will this reflect next Sunday`s chart, and the mids we will see! Last week we had 25 in the 30, but not necessarily in the right order, as usual! In the albums (combined) we had 27 in, again slightly out of order. Let`s end with a flashback to 1995...Luxembourg ended satellite broadcasts in 1992. But we (thats Peter, Dave, John, and myself started it up for student radio in 1989, so this is what we came up with on Mon 20th Feb 95, which would have been the singles chart, for w/k ending 4th March 95... 01 02 THINK TWICE - CELINE DION 02 01 NO MORE I LOVE YOU`S - ANNIE LENNOX 03 06 I`VE GOT A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR YOU - MN8 04 05 DON`T GIVE ME YOUR LIFE - ALEX PARTY 05 03 BEDTIME STORIES - MADONNA 06 10 REACH UP - PAFECTO ALL STARS 07 18 SOMEDAY I`LL BE SATURDAY - BON JOVI 08 04 SET YOU FREE - N`TRANCE 09 33 WAKING UP - ELASTICA 10 08 COTTON EYE JOE - REDNEX 11 16 OUR RADIO ROCKS - PJ AND DUNCAN 12 07 HERE COMES THE HOTSTEPPER - INI KAMOZE 13 15 RUNAWAY - REAL MCCOY 14 NE BELIEVE - ELTON JOHN 15 14 INDEPENDANT LOVE SONG - SCARLET 16 21 TOCCATA AND PHUGE - VANESSA MAI 17 23 OVER MY SHOULDER - MIKE AND THE MECHANICS 18 12 TOTAL ECLYPSE OF THE HEART - NICKI FRENCH 19 13 CALL IT LOVE - DEUCE 20 35 FOR YOUR LOVE - STEVIE WONDER We had 17 in the 20, in 1995, although only 4 totally correct (compared to the following Sun). I seem to remember, DEUCE narrowly missed out on representing the UK, in the Eurovision Song Contest (being beat in the Song For Europe, at some point). Now if anyone can remind me when that was, and the song title (I believe a chart hit), I would be grateful!! Any offers?

That`s what I thought, but apparently wrong. From what Dave Taylor says, tomorrow will put H TWO O, in the top 7, and Britney and GOLDFRAPP could swap places. While, ONE REPUBLIC will swap places, with ONE NIGHT ONLY. KYLIE and SOULJA BOY could push ahead of PARAMORE, and TAIO CRUZ will knock MICHAEL JACKSON out! Funnily enough I wish someone would! Now I must correct, a little mistake.

I remember the deputy head at school, playing, "Coward of the County" in assembly one day. She told this most amazing story, about not having to fight your way through life! The following day, we were all surprised when it went to number one! At school we were all mystified. Was it all the deputy head`s doing?! New Musik certainly had lots of airplay. Quite amazing that even "This World of Water" couldn`t get into the top 30, at all. I always remember my sister copying the songs, from the top 40! I used to hate the fact she stopped the tape when Tony Blackburn/Simon Bate/Tom Browne started to talk. I would have preferred to listen to the whole shows, even years on, like I do with some I did myself! I don`t think we will ever re-capture the fun of such presenters (who would be very slick) even with the odd mistake thrown in. Making the programme, that more interesting, without the talentless presenters, who do such a ghastly job, today!

Thanks Manic, how could I forget Mika, and of course January 2007.

Same as me! You miust remember the VAPORS follow up to the Feb 80 release of TURNING JAPANESE ? It was called NEWS AT TEN and in 1981, they had another small hit with JIMMIE JONES?

Absolutley Mikey mate. Do you remember the follow up, and 3rd chart single by the BUGGLES though? It scraped the chart in the early Summer of 1980, called CLEAN CLEAN...remember it? The PLASTIC AGE always reminds me of an episode of the TOMORROW PEOPLE being shown at the time, entitled "The Living Skins", about a plastic clothing fabric, that took over ones will/mind! I must get on with the rest of the charts :yahoo:

Another Saturday, So what`s been happening, since last week? Well, we are about to find out, with the latest Album, Singles, Film and DVD charts...all joined together, with a look at February 1980. All thanks to Dave Taylor, as usual. Contact details on request. This week`s albums... w/k ending 22/02 01 01 SLEEP THRU THE STATIC - JACK JOHNSON 02 03 ALL THE RIGHT REASONS - NICKELBACK 03 02 19 - ADELE 04 NE THRILLER 25TH ANNIVERSARY - MICHAEL JACKSON 05 NE GREATEST HITS - MORRISEY 06 12 101 LOVE SONGS - VARIOUS 07 20 REAL LOVE - VARIOUS ARTISTS 08 05 SCOUTING FOR GIRLS - SCOUTING GIRLS 09 NE STARTED A FIRE - ONE NIGHT ONLY 10 04 MADE IN THE DARK - HOT CHIP 11 07 RAISING SAND - PLANT/KRAUS 12 08 THIS IS THE LIFE - AMY MACDONALD 13 09 GOOD GIRL GONE BAD - RIHANNA 14 10 ULTIMATE NRG - VARIOUS 15 21 R + B LOVE SONGS - VARIOUS 2 weeks at the top for JACK JOHNSON. Love songs all over the place, sure to plummet next week, with Valentine`s Day out of the way! MICHAEL JACKSON having the highest new entry, with the 25th Anniversary, of Thriller...the first number one single from that (originally) I believe was BILLIE JEAN. Let`s go back to 1980. What happened then? Well Sunday nights were awash, with Cenral Europe`s most listened too, chart show, on Radio one, with the Sensational Mr TONY BLACKBURN (who had swap places with SIMON BATES 6 months earlier). Tony also introduced JUNIOR CHOICE now that ED STEWART had moved to the ED STEWART REQUEST SHOW on Radio two`s weekday afternoon schedule. Here`s 1980`s albums... w/k ending 22nd Feb 1980 01 02 THE LAST DANCE - VARIOUS ARTISTS 02 01 THE PRETENDERS - THE PRETENDERS 03 03 ONE STEP BEYOND - MADNESS 04 04 SHORT STORIES - JON AND VANGELIS 05 06 THE SPECIALS - THE SPECIALS 06 05 REGATTA DE BLANC - POLICE 07 10 KENNY - KENNY ROGERS 08 09 I`M THE MAN - JOE JACKSON 09 13 MATAMATIC - JOHN FOXX 10 08 OFF THE WALL - MICHAEL JACKSON 11 30 GET HAPPY - ELVIS COSTELLO 12 07 PERMANENT WAVES - RUSH 13 NE NOLAN SISTERS - NOLANS 14 32 JUST FOR YOU - DES O, CONNER 15 14 ABBA`S GREATEST HITS VOL. 2 - ABBA Valentine`s Day reflected even in 1980, with the LAST DANCE topping the chart (featuring hits from DIANA ROSS, JIMMY RUFFIN etc. Most of the albums had singles taken from them, and JACKO`s latest pre-Thriller, "OFF THE WALL". The unstoppable DES O, CONNER with the biggest climber (again Valentine`s Day). Imagine going out today, and buying your loved one a DES O, CONNER album! You would be hit over the head with it! This particular Album featured songs such as JUST FOR YOU (the ALAN PRICE song), and Des having an attempt at CHANSON D` AMOUR (ART and DOTTY TODD 1958, MANHATTEN TRANSFER 1977). 1980`s Singles... 01 01 COWARD OF THE COUNTY - KENNY ROGERS 02 02 TOO MUCH TOO YOUNG - SPECIALS 03 10 AND THE BEAT GOES ON - WHISPERS 04 06 CAPTAIN BEAKY - KEITH MICHELL 05 04 SOMEONE`S LOOKING AT YOU - BOOMTOWN RATS 06 15 CARRIE - CLIFF RICHARD 07 NE ATOMIC - BLONDIE 08 03 I`M IN THE MOOD FOR DANCING - NOLANS 09 13 ROCK WITH YOU - MICHAEL JACKSON 10 20 I CAN`T STAND UP FOR FALLING DOWN - ELVIS COSTELLO 11 21 BABY I LOVE YOU - RAMONES 12 19 SO GOOD TO BE BACK HOME AGAIN - TOURISTS 13 08 I HEAR YOU NOW - JON AND VANGELIS 14 11 SAVE ME - QUEEN 15 14 7TEEN - REGENTS 16 05 ITS DIFFERENT FOR GIRLS - JOE JACKSON 17 22 RIDERS IN THE SKY - SHADOWS 18 07 BABE - STYX 19 16 THREE MINUTE HERO - SELECTOR 20 25 LIVING IN THE PLASTIC AGE - BUGGLES 21 NE TAKE THAT LOOK OFF YOUR FACE - MARTY WEBB 22 12 LIVING BY NUMBERS - NEW MUSIK 23 09 MY GIRL - MADNESS 24 27 TOO HOT - KOOL AND THE GANG 25 23 BUZZ BUZZ A DIDDLE IT - MATCHBOX 26 31 JANE - JEFFERSON STARSHIP 27 NE TOGETHER WE ARE BEAUTIFUL - FERN KINNEY 28 38 GAMES WITHOUT FRONTIERS - PETER GABRIEL 29 NE SO LONELY - POLICE 30 NE ON THE RADIO - DONNA SUMMER What can we say about 1980, well KENNY ROGERS had the surprise number 1. The SPECIALS hit was an EP actually called THE SPECIAL AKA LIVE EP...BLONDIE was about to score another charttopper...NOEL EDMONDS had been playing KEITH MICHELL on his Sunday show (KEITH had recorded the song in 1977), with NOEL spinning it constantly, it became a top 5 hit 3 years on! ELVIS COSTELLO, RAMONES, SHADOWS, MATCHBOX, FERN KINNEY all covered old songs (most noteably the RAMONES virtually, with PHIL SPECTOR totally copied the original of BABY I LOVE YOU from 1964 by the RONETTES, and FERN KINNEY covered a 1979 flop for RICHARD ALLEN all the way to the top, a few weeks later...JON AND VANGELIS (JON ANDERSON from YES), (VANGLELIS ex-APHRODITES CHILD) collaborated for the album SHORT STORIES, and achieved a few singles too....JEFFERSON STARSHIP were originally JEFFERSON AIRPLANE, later of course they became just STARSHIP....My fav of the day, was NEW MUSIK who could just not break the top 10, with any of their brilliant releases....on the bubble at 32 was JOHN FOXX and UNDERPASS (John, an original front man with ULTRAVOX)...ALSO on the bubble were SINGING THE BLUES (a re-make by MR RE-MAKE, DAVE EDMUNDS) and STIFF LITTLE FINGERS had a slow climb into the top 40, with the classic AT THE EDGE. Here is the top films, this week w/k ending 22/02/08 01 NATIONAL TREASURE-BOOK OF SECRETS (NEW) 02 JUNO 03 COLOURFIELD 04 SWEENEY TODD-DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET 05 THE WATER HOUSE (NEW) 06 DEFINATELY MAYBE (NEW) 07 OVER HER DEAD BODY 08 PENELOPE 09 NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN 10 ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS NATIONAL TREASURE having the edge on JUNO.

If I am correct this is the first time, that a download only track, has made it to the top, with 2 weeks still left until the physical release? It`s probably a fact that the physicals of ROCKSTAR could not push it to stay at the top long enough, to withhold DUFFY who came from nowhere this week. Outside the top 45, are the CORAL the rest of the top 50, have been about for a while...with AMY MACDONALD slipping to 47 with them. The top 60, has entries from REM, CRAIG DAVID, has been taken over by GNARLS BARKLEY (climbed over that is)!!!! What`s going to happen next week? I think DUFFY will remain a-top until/including the physical release...some think H TWO 0, but I don`t think H TWO 0, will go any higher than number 2...where will KYLIE be physically added next week? I got an inkling, she might miss the top 5. Don`t forget we will get together for NEXT WEEK`S CHART on Monday from 4.30, and have a preview into the future!

Do you remember that the song was originally released by HI BREED in 1970, and KING HARVEST in 1973? KING HARVEST did another great song called A LITTLE BIT LIKE MAGIC in 73 too...Both HI BREED and KING HARVEST were total flops, a bit of a shame really. Quite a few people, think that DANCING IN THE MOONLIGHT when performed by TOPLOADER was a new song, but it was already 30 years old!!!!!!

Say Robbie, thinking about I FOUND LOVIN` with the FATBACK BAND first entered in June 84, although it was reissued about twice, was all over the clubs, for 4 years or so. It took until 1988, to get to number 7. Have you a complete run on the top 100, for it? I can`t find one at home.

Evening Mikey, how was work? Have JAY SEAN, MARY J, T2, and M. JACKSON fallen a lot since last week?.....many thanks

Just thinking about "White Lines", by Grandmaster Flash and Melle Mel. It entered the top 75, in Feb 1984, and took 25 weeks or so to get to a high of number 7...now according to Richard Skinner, on the top 40, in 1984, the record spent most of the year, in the top 100. Infact it entered te top 100, on tues 8th Nov 1983! The full run: 85 - 60 - 63 - 75 - re - re - re - re - re - 93 - 93 - 77 - 84 - 74 - 59 - 52 - 53 - 52 - 49 - 57 - 55 - 56 - 58 - 55 - 52 - 56 - 52 - 48 - 51 - 52 - 46 - 36 - 21 - 12 - 10 - 9 - 8 - 7 - 7 - 10 - 9 - 10 - 13 - 18 - 20 - 23 - 31 - 39 - 41 - 52 - 55 - re - re - 77 - 75 - 77 - 99 - 88 - 96 - 83 - 73 - re - 83 - 85 I don`t think we could beat that run! 38 weeks to get to number 7! It has to be said, it was obviously still in the top 200, when it dropped out of the top 100, and re-entered just like Sinitta! Can we beat it? I can`t think of anyone, that has???? (Sourced from Record Mirror 1983 - 84)

Mikey/Ben, how many places down for these since Sun?... Kanye - Homecoming Alicia Keys - No One Take That - Rule the World Cascada - Whtm Morrisey - Thpgu Wombats - MtNY T2 - Heartbroken Leona - BL Thanks in advance!

Hi Mikey, How are you? Computer crashed on Monday, so need to update! How many have the following fallen etc, since Sun?... Hot Chip Lupe Fiasco One Night Only Soulja Boy Scouting For Girls (Elvis etc) Mary J Blige Jay Sean Apologise Homecoming Thank you for that lot! And I can tell you, because of the crashing of my PC...as we missed out Next Weeks Chart on Mon, we actually found Basshunter, and Nickelback that close, we had to do a re-count. With Nickelback just having the edge.

We all know it`s taken 17 weeks, for Nickelback, to get to number 2. But back in the mid-eighties, when I first got involved in Radio, Sinitta, took a lifetime to get to the number 2 spot. Every week, I collected Record Mirror, back then. SO MACHO was a double A sided single with CRUISING on the other side. At this period, I was doing a hospital radio thing. SO MACHO was always being requested by the teenagers, who were in at the time. It was released in the February of 1986 and took no less than, 23 weeks to get to number 2, on Tuesday 5th Aug 1986. Here is the chart run, where it did fall out of the top 100, a couple of times, in the full run. Entered chart Tuesday 4th March 1986: 59 - 50 - 49 - 49 - 48 - 47 - 49 - 51 - 64 - 59 - 68 - re - 85 - 81 - re - re - 73 - 52 - 46 - 33 - 16 - 5 - 2 - 3 - 3 - 2 - 7 - 9 - 14 - 21 - 32 - 36 - 53 The final week of chart was Tuesday 18th Oct 86, when the following week, it disappeared because Sinitta`s new hit "Feel`s Like The First Time", scraped into the top 50. Will that run of 23 weeks, to get as high as number 2 ever be beaten? Can anyone think of any other hits, that failed to make number one, that took a long time, to get to their chart zenith? (Sourced from Record Mirror 1986)

BASSHUNTER sale 35,000 this week NICKELBACK sale just over 32,000

Well if you know Simon Bates` "Our Tune", you would recognise it as the piece of music that Simon, talks over when he does it! For that music is, the Love Theme from Romeo and Juliet, and was a U.S. number one single in 1969.

It was in 92, but KC and the Sunshine Band had the original in 1979. But the KWS hit, was a rip off, of a song (already around) for a chap called DOUBLE YOU.

Another week bombs by. Here is the selection of chart action, courtesy of Dave Taylor (davericktaylor@yahoo.co.uk). This week, the new album chart, a look back to 1992, this week`s films, the new singles/track chart, and ending up with a lovey dovey Valentine selection of some 30 favourite love songs circa 1955 - 2008. Here are the week`s albums w/k ending 15/02 01 NE SLEEP THROUGH THE STATIC - JACK JOHNSON 02 01 19 - ADELE 03 NE MADE IN THE DARK - HOT CHIP 04 05 ALL THE RIGHT REASONS - NICKELBACK 05 02 SCOUTING FOR GIRLS - SCOUTING FOR GIRLS 06 NE GROWING PAINS - MARY J.

Mostly Valentine related. Also in the top 30 are WITH LOVE X, REAL LOVE, POWER OF LOVE, DREAMBOATS AND PETTICOATS (goes back up), R + B LOVE SONGS goes down. Will ONE NIGHT ONLY go to number one next week? Or will it be other new entries from MORRISEY, LAURA MARLING, or a VA Compilation? Who remembers 1992, and the albums... w/k ending 15th Feb 1992 01 01 HIGH ON THE HAPPY SIDE - WET WET WET 02 02 STARS - SIMPLY RED 03 03 WE CAN`T DANCE - GENESIS 04 08 NO REGRETS 65 - 76 - WALKER BROTHERS 05 05 REAL LOVE - LISA STANSFIELD 06 14 DANGEROUS - MICHAEL JACKSON 07 04 GREATEST HITS II - QUEEN 08 06 ULTIMATE RAVE - VARIOUS ARTISTS 09 11 FINALLY - CE CE PENNISTON 10 07 NEVER MIND - NIRVANA 11 09 SIMPLY THE BEST - TINA TURNER 12 13 EMOTIONS - MARIAH CAREY 13 10 SPOOKY - LUSH 14 NE KAOS THEORY - VARIOUS ARTISTS 15 17 TIME LOVE AND TENDERNESS - MICHAEL BOLTON The Wets proving the case in 92. Valentine movement for the WALKER BROTHERS (funnily enough NO REGRETS, as a single was a cover of a 1968 song). LISA STANSFIELD, MARIAH CAREY, MICHAEL BOLTON again moving with 14th Feb! But a lack of Compilations (maybe a week too early). 1992`s singles chart... w/k ending 15th Feb 1992 01 04 I`M DOIN FINE NOW - PASADENAS 02 01 GOODNIGHT GIRL - WET WET WET 03 06 STAY - SHAKESPEARS SISTER 04 03 TWILIGHT ZONE - 2UNLIMITED 05 05 I WONDER WHY - CURTIS STIGERS 06 NE REMEMBER THE TIME - MICHAEL JACKSON 07 02 GIVE ME JUST A LITTLE MORE TIME - KYLIE MINOGUE 08 08 THE BOUNCER - KICKS LIKE A MULE 09 16 FOR YOUR BABIES - SIMPLY RED 10 11 DIXIE-NARCO E.P. - PRIMAL SCREAM 11 10 BORN ON FRUSTRATION - JAMES 12 27 STEEL BARS - MICHAEL BOLTON 13 09 EVERYBODY IN THE PLACE E.P.

Probably not even heard since 92. The PASADENAS only made the top, on the MRIB chart and of course, was a re-make of the 1973 top 20 hit, for NEW YORK CITY. WET WET WET had a bit of a surprise charttopper with GOODNIGHT GIRL. SHAKESPEARS SISTER seemed to be there forever with STAY (an apt title). MICHAEL JACKSON scoring with another hit from the DANGEROUS album. KYLIE covering a CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD top 5 hit from 1970 (when Kylie herself, was just 2 years old). "You`re Not on the list, you`re not coming in", was the taunt by THE BOUNCER at 8. E.Ps everywhere with PRODIGY, PRIMAL SCREAM and the WONDER STUFF. Lots of album material, being released as singles, for SIMPLY RED, MICHAEL BOLTON, and CE CE PENNISTON. The WEDDING PRESENT were on there second monthly hit with GO-GO DANCER (they released a single every month, for the whole of 1992). In 92, the MANIC STREET PREACHERS singles used to stay around longer, than just one week! MY GIRL failed to sell well, in the 1965 period (being covered by OTIS REDDING at the time). Here the song all over a tv ad, finally hit the top 3, in 92. GOD GAVE ROCK N` ROLL TO YOU, originally hit the top 30, in 1973 for ARGENT. CURTIS STIGERS was all over radio 2, with the likes of BRIAN HAYES, KEN BRUCE, ED STEWART and JOHN DUNN playing him constantly. Also in 1992 on Radio 2, ED STEWART launched the short lived easy listening album chart, on a Monday afternoon. Right, back up to date, here are this week`s top films... w/k ending 15/02 01 NE CLOVERFIELD 02 01 SWEENEY TODD DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET 03 NE OVER HER DEAD BODY 04 NE PENELOPE 05 04 NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN 06 03 PS I LOVE YOU 07 07 ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS 08 05 ST TRINIANS 09 NE UNDERDOG 10 02 ALIEN VS PREDATOR No surprise, for much talked about CLOVERFIELD. Never a fan of films like ALIEN VS PREDATOR, utter nonsense, for my money. Down an 8 place fall to number 10! The dvd chart is missing this week, so straight to the singles. Here`s the top 45, this week... w/k ending 15/02 45 NE NEW SOUL - YAEL NAIM 44 37 DREAM CATCH ME - NEWTON FAULKNER 43 35 GOODBYE MR A - HOOSIERS 42 34 ABOUT YOU NOW - SUGABABES 41 33 THIS IS THE LIFE - AMY MACDONALD 40 31 SOME KINDA RUSH - BOOTY LUV 39 27 BLEEDING LOVE - LEONA LEWIS 38 29 HEARTBROKEN - T2/JODIE AYSHA 37 17 STILL FIGURING OUT - ELLIOT MINOR 36 32 HOMETOWN GLORY - ADELE 35 28 SHE`S SO LOVELY - SCOUTING FOR GIRLS 34 NE FROM YESTERDAY - 30 SECONDS FROM MARS 33 49 THE GIRL IS MINE 08 - MICHAEL JACKSON/WILL I AM 32 NE SCREAM - TIMBALAND/KERI HILSON/NICOLE SCHWERZINGER 31 24 MOVING TO NEW YORK - WOMBATS 30 25 RELAX-TAKE IT EASY - MIKA 29 23 CALL THE SHOTS - GIRLS ALOUD 28 NE WHO`S GOT A MATCH - BILLY CLYRO 27 26 WHAT HURT`S THE MOST - CASCADA 26 19 RULE THE WORLD - TAKE THAT 25 20 VALERIE - RONSON/WINEHOUSE 24 21 NO ONE - ALICIA KEYS 23 14 HOMECOMING - KANYE WEST 22 22 WOW - KYLIE MINOGUE 21 18 APOLOGISE - ONE REPUBLIC 20 13 BE MINE - ROBYN 19 15 RIDE IT - JAY SEAN 18 16 JUST FINE - MARY J.

Can it possibly make 6? Will GOLDFRAPP or THE FEELING knock it off next week? Well done to WET WET WET, not equaling the 1992 number one! But a top 10 entry for something with virtually no downloads, must be something. Outside the top 45, mainly songs that have been around forever, but in the top 60, there is DUFFY, FLO RIDA, VAMPIRE WEEKEND, CRAIG DAVID and the dowloads keep BLOOD RED SHOES out, of the top 50! Look out for future new hits from, ONE REPUBLIC, SUGABABES, and ADDICTIVE with T2. Here is the download only chart... 01 01 BASSHUNTER 02 03 NICKELBACK 03 02 ADELE 04 05 RIHANNA 05 08 DAVID JORDAN 06 06 BRITNEY SPEARS 07 07 LUPE FIASCO 08 04 KELLY ROWLAND 09 09 LUPE FIASCO 10 NE THE FEELING 11 NE MARK BROWN 12 10 ONE NIGHT ONLY 13 11 SCOUTING FOR GIRLS 14 NE GOLDFRAPP 15 21 KYLIE MINOGUE 16 12 SOULJA BOY 17 16 MARY J.

VALENTINES DAY MASSACRE E.P. by MOTORHEAD (that featured the song, "PLEASE DON`T TOUCH", which was a cover of the 1959 top 20 hit, for JOHNNY KIDD!! Don`t forget Next Week`s Chart, Monday at 4pm, and we will discover why Michael Jackson, did not make it in the national chart top 30, this week!
