WK ending 13 October 2012.
1. (N)Rihanna- Diamonds
2. (1)Psy - Gangnam style
3. (N) One direction -live while we're young
4. (N) Adele - skyfall
5. (N) Ellie Goulding - Anything can happen
4 brand new entries, Rihanna rush released diamonds, one direction were battling it out early midweeks.
Then Adele rush released on Friday, really early? What time was it.
I remember on Sunday, trying to find out before chart was announced where Rihanna would end up.
There was a post on ATRL forum with the chart positions, and they were correct.
Also going way back to WK ending 6 August 1988.
1. (10) Yazz and the plastic population- the only way is up
2 (-) Kylie minogue - the locomotion
It was very very close that week and Kylie ALMOST made chart history, nearly becoming first female soloist going in at number 1. But yazz caught her in the end. Yazz sold 54,000, Kylie sold 52,000.
If it was released one week earlier she would have made chart history.
Something similar happened in 1989, where her cassette sales were not added, because of retail price.
