The Almost Saturday Singles chart is compiled by the team at DTR (a non-profitting Radio Group). The Top 40 is baesd on sales averages/sliding scales & average downloads. The 41-75 is based on just downloads.

That would've been on the Radio One Chart, yep. We don't use that. It's MRIB all the way for us. Although Sure took right until the Saturday to outsell more than Whigfield & then it was a small gap.

Flashback to October 1985: Top TV then 01 OPEN ALL HOURS 18.70...the final series on Tuesdays this year with Ronnie & David 02 FRESH FIELDS 17.40...Julia McKensie & Anton Rodgers in the brilliant Sitcom.

A sure winner for Warren Mitchell. Quite tame, but apparently UK TV wouldn't touch it today. No, they'd rather show people swearing & half killing each other...don't it make you sick? 06 MINDER 14.50...Arthur & Terry & dodgy deals.

And wasn't it great a week ahead, those new number oness before the snail. Or were you being rather boring & listening to Richard Skinner with an out of date chart? Mind you Radio One were still pulling in some 10 million, but look at it this way: Jimmy Savile actually got more listeners than the Top 40...as The Network Chart pulled in some 4 million ex-Radio One listeners as the Network grew each week. By 1994, Radio One was no longer top chart at just 6 million compared to the 7 million of the Pepsi Chart then with Neil Fox. 25 years from 1985, only 4 million people listen to any chart. 01 01 POWER OF LOVE - JENNIFER RUSH 02 03 TRAPPED - COLNEL ABRAMS 03 07 TAKE ON ME - A-HA 04 08 ST ELMO'S FIRE - JOHN PARR 05 05 ALIVE AND KICKING - SIMPLE MINDS 06 20 MIAMI VICE THEME - JAN HAMMER 07 13 SLAVE TO THE RHYTHM - GRACE JONES 08 02 LEAN ON ME - REDBOX 09 10 GAMBLER - MADONNA 10 04 IF I WAS - MIDGE URE 11 31 NIKITA - ELTON JOHN 12 06 REBEL YELL - BILLY IDOL 13 11 SINGLE LIFE - CAMEO 14 33 LIPSTCK POWDER & PAINT - SHAKIN STEVENS 15 22 RAIN - CULT 16 27 SOMETHING ABOUT YOU - LEVEL 42 17 09 PART TIME LOVER - STEVIE WONDER 18 NE ELCTION DAY - ARCADIA 19 12 DANCING IN THE STREET - BOWIE & JAGGER 20 32 I BELIEVE - TEARS FOR FEARS 21 14 ANGEL - MADONNA 22 29 THIS IS ENGLAND - CLASH 23 35 YEH YEH - MATT BIANCO 24 38 BRING ON THE DANCING HORSES - ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN 25 16 BODY ROCK - MARIA VIDAL 26 NE TASTE OF YOUR TEARS - KING 27 17 HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO - BONNIE TYLER 28 26 LOVE TAKEOVER - FIVE STAR 29 NE KING FOR A DAY - THOMPSON TWINS 30 15 SHE'S SO BEAUTIFUL - CLIFF RICHARD Top Pre-Order Singles this week 01 LOVE YOU MORE - JLS 15th Nov 02 PROMISE THIS - CHERYL COLE 25th Oct 03 FLOOD - TAKE THAT 15th Nov 04 ONLY GIRL - RIHANNA 25th Oct 05 SAFE - WESTLIFE 8th Nov 06 MY WICKED HEART - DIANA VICKERS 1st Nov 07 GOTTA BE SOMEBODY - SHAYNE WARD 8th Nov 08 WELL WELL WELL - DUFFY 22nd Nov 09 THINKING OF YOU - OLLY MURS 22nd Nov 10 STAY THE NIGHT - JAMES BLUNT 1st Nov Ho ho ho...Do I see the end for Take That with this single?

In a word Tom: No.

No! But you were robbed last week, when everyone but OCC included Party Hit Kings & they didn't. A recount on the word "Official" please. How can something be so, when some 18,000 sales were ignored.

Only for Physicals, as this week showed with Cee Lo & the other two.

There were 4 channels then, but Sky was up & running. Obviously yes they were just about to increase their number of subscribers, but I think Dave said the other week (& I can confirm) British TV viewing figures actually peaked in 1976, & have fallen ever since. When you think that in 1976/77, no Soaps topped the chart. It comes to make you think. It would be interesting to see what TV figures would be like today, if we did just have 5 channels. TV Bosses would have to try much harder, as Soaps alone would'nt wash. :lol: Not only is their Digital TV & Sky, but of course DVDs have kicked off since, although video recorders weren't run of the meal until around 1990 anyway. I remember in 1988 going to WhSmiths, & there were some Dr Who videos on sale. The Price?? A wopping £35 & it was only a hour & a half! :o

:bounce:

She shouldn't slip really as she's around 26 on iTunes, & started the week around 32. A combination you can use on a person with a big physical is to add the physical position to the iTunes position i.e. 26 iTunes + number one physical = 27 divided by 2 = 13.5. So, either way she's unlikely to get below 13. It's a random way to work it out, but it usually is quite acurate. It was pretty much the same for Rumer, t'other week.

Going back to that 1991 October 20th R1 Top 40. The Top 5 were: 01 Bryan Adams 02 2Unlimited 03 Scorpions 04 Kiri Te Kanawa 05 Monty Python Kiri was indeed a-top the Network Chart. On the previous week on said show, Kiri was number 4, with Scorpions at 2 (although number one across London). I would say that the Oct 20th chart, must have been very very close between the whole top 5 or even top 6, as Vic Reeves "Dizzy" was not far away at 6. On the following week the top 6 were juggled into positions 2-7, with U2 & "The Fly" crashing in at number one. I don't reckon those weeks are likely to occur near that again.

It starred Lionel Jeffries moving in with his son (played by Ian Ogilvy) & Ian's Screen wife played by Brigit Forsyth. Thames got 2 series out of it. Don Taffner remade it in the US & called it Foot At The Door. The Yanks didn't like it at all, & it was cancelled after the first 6 editions.

But what a chart. With the Animals back, & the Beatles beating their number 24 position in 1962 with "Love Me Do" going right to the top 5 some 20 years on. For some reason (which someone might clarify) The Pinkees & Danger Games did not chart at all on the Record Business top 120. Richard Allinson presented the UK Top 30 part on Capital Radio 194, at 2pm every Sunday ahead of the BBC. Although this week in 1982, we were quite lucky because Simon Bates was sitting in for the disaster that was Tommy Vance (hard to believe it took 2 years before they finally removed him). The Line-up of Adrian Juste, Jimmy Savile's Old Record Club, Music Now (with David Jensen, & some new releases), the Great Rock N' Roll Trivia Quiz, the top 40, & Anne Nightingale's Request Show took us through Radio One's schedule on a Sunday. Where as Capital were rather easy going with the likes of Tony Myatt, Richard Allinson, Hullaballoo, Charlie Gillett, Greg Edwards, & also the Sunday Arts Programme "Artbeat". 01 01 PASS THE DUTCHIE - MUSICAL YOUTH 02 04 DO YOU REALLY WANT TO HURT ME - CULTURE CLUB 03 02 ZOOM - FAT LARRY'S BAND 04 07 HARD TO SAY I'M SORRY - CHICAGO 05 13 JACKIE WILSON SAID - DEXY'S MIDNIGHT RUNNERS 06 06 LOVE COME DOWN - EVELYN KING 07 18 STARMAKER - KIDS FROM FAME 08 10 JUST WHAT I ALWAYS WANTED - MARI WILSON 09 05 THERE IT IS - SHALAMAR 10 03 THE BITTEREST PILL - THE JAM 11 08 FRIEND OR FOE - ADAM ANT 12 16 GLITTERING PRIZE - SIMPLE MINDS 13 20 HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN - ANIMALS 14 09 WHY - CARLY SIMON 15 12 WALKING ON SUNSHINE - ROCKER'S REVENGE 16 11 EYE OF THE TIGER - SURVIVOR 17 33 LIFELINE - SPANDAU BALLET 18 21 REAP THE WILD WIND - ULTRAVOX 19 17 SADDLE UP - DAVID CHRISTIE 20 45 ANNIE I'M NOT YOUR DADDY - KID CREOLE 21 15 ALL OF MY HEART - ABC 22 44 ZIGGY STARDUST - BAUHAUS 23 RE LOVE ME DO - BEATLES 24 22 TAKE A CHANCE WITH ME - ROXY MUSIC 25 14 PRIVATE INVESTIGATIONS - DIRE STRAITS 26 27 SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO - CLASH 27 23 IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT - IMAGINATION 28 35 BACK ON THE CHAIN GANG - PRETENDERS 29 25 LEAVE IN SILENCE - DEPECHE MODE 30 26 INVITATIONS - SHAKATAK 31 29 SO HERE I AM - UB40 32 41 NEVER GIVE YOU UP - SHARON REDD 33 19 THE MESSAGE - GRANDMASTER FLASH & THE FURIOUS FIVE 34 28 CHANCES - HOT CHOCOLATE 35 24 GIVE ME YOUR HEART TONIGHT - SHAKIN STEVENS 36 48 AMOR - JULIO IGLESIAS 37 NE LIFE IN TOKYO - JAPAN 38 32 TODAY - TALK TALK 39 NE I WANNA DO IT WITH YOU - BARRY MANILOW 40 NE MAD WORLD - TEARS FOR FEARS The Pre-Order Singles this week (2010) 01 LOVE YOU MORE - JLS 15th Nov 02 HEART VACANCY - WANTED 18th Oct 03 FLOOD - TAKE THAT 15th Nov 04 BEST BEHAVIOUR - N-DUBZ 18th Oct 05 GOTTA BE SOMEBODY 8th Nov So, Sunday 21st Nov will be JLS on top with the Children In Need cash up.

I edge my bets on either Black Eyed Peas or Duffy taking the Christmas Artist number one album. Mind you listening to a Duffy preview last week, I think it's exactly the same as her last output.

Hold on, I think I've finally got the answer. "To The Manor Born", suddenly sprung to me!

That was what brought it up. Someone was talking about Beautiful People (cos it's set Reading), but I remember the story be used before. Certainly over the last 30 years, that why I don't think it was Sykes. The Sykes storyline (abeit holiday) concerns Eric & Hat going to the airport & missing the plane, then spending a week at Gatwick airport. It's been nagging on me all week.

Did I forget to update the release of KOL? Here's is the Top 75 lowdown, as ever put together on a basis of averages of downloads/physicals & sales. All put together by DTR.

Don't forget the complete top 40 can be heard all over the Southern hemisphere of Silk FM across the net, on Sunday at 4pm avec Jason Scott, & don't forget those bubblers & new releases at 7 in the "Ones To Watch". And who needs Tony Blackburn for vintage hits, as he surprises everyone by returning to BBC National Radio, for the first time since 1984. Join Richard Todd for a nip back to the complete top 40 from October 1964, this Sunday at 2pm on Atlantic Oldies 2NG.

up.

It's Friday 8th October (not 2th Sept as it says. That's just Dave in preparation) Evening All. Alan Rogers standing in for Dave for the next 2 weeks. Dave's on holiday. I'm not (unfortunately :cry: ). Glad to be jumping his account & PC though. Well it didn't seem worth joining as a new member as Dave already did a template for me. Only hope I don't log myself out, because I don't know his secret password, & I'm also invisible by the look of the members online list. Thanks to Mikey for his welcoming message the other day>>Thanks mate. Hopefully no probs. Message from Dave, Mikey was>>Will you send me the usual chart on Sunday Evening? Cheers. ;) A lovely day today with temperatures topping out at 70 degrees in the heart of Berkshire. Must've been the hottest October day this Century. On with job, eyes down looking, as it's business as usual. I usually help the old boy (Dave that is) with the gang & it's the charts of the week from Sun to Fri, based on the usual claptrap of averages/sales & then the back in an hour or so, for the big singles/songs of the week. It's all put together by a panel of exchart bods, calling themselves DTR (a non profitting org) The Top Books 01 NE WORTH DYING FOR - LEE CHILD 02 NE 30 MINUTE MEALS - JAMIE OLIVER 03 10 GIRL WHO KICKED THE HORNET'S NEST - STEIG LARSSON 04 01 FRY CHRONICLES - STEPHEN FRY 05 02 61 HOURS - LEE CHILD 06 03 DEVIL RIDES OUT - PAUL O'GRADY 07 04 GUINESS WORLD RECORDS - GUINESS BOOKS 08 08 A WEEK IN DECEMBER - SEBASTIAN FAULKES 09 NE EAT PRAY LOVE - ELIZABETH GILBERT 10 09 LOST SYMBOL - DAN BROWN The Top Games 01 02 FIFA 11 02 01 HALO: REACH 03 03 F1 2010 04 04 DEAD RISING 2 05 06 RESIDENT EVIL 5 06 05 ART ACADEMY 07 08 JUST DANCE 08 09 TIGER WOODS PGA TOUR 11 09 07 SPORTS CHAMPIONS 10 RE PRINCE OF PERSIA: FORGOTTEN SANDS The Top Dvd Films 01 01 ROBIN HOOD DIRECTORS CUT 02 02 STREET DANCE 3D 03 03 KICK ASS 04 04 PRINCE OF PERSIA 05 05 BACK UP PLAN 06 06 LAST SONG 07 NE BAD LIEUTENANT: PORT OF CALL 08 07 SHERLOCK HOLMES 09 11 DEATH AT A FUNERAL 10 08 THE GHOST The Top UK Box Office Films 01 01 THE OTHER GUYS 02 03 THE TOWN 03 NE BURIED 04 02 EAT PRAY LOVE 05 04 HOLE 3D 06 NE MADE IN DAGENHAM 07 NE BACK TO THE FUTURE 08 06 TOY STORY 3 09 05 DEVIL 10 07 GROWN UPS I went to see Eat Pray Love last week. The audience were mainly ladies (which was a bonus on it's own). The film itself (from the book of course) does just like the title suggests. Liz Gilbert (the main character) gets divorced, & travels the world. Eating in Italy, Praying in India, & finding love in Bali. Though I did actually understand why the audience was mainly ladies, & found it rather cliched.

I can't say I enjoyed any of that music. Sophie B Hawkins seemed to be the fav of Independant Radio in 1994.

I was seeing them before the singles began, let alone albums. This re-hash hype of Robbie is unbearable, as is Take That. It'll keep the nonsense Commercial Radio stations happy though. Infact the top 5 will. Rumer definately a Smooth Radio push, & they've got Mr Boring working for them, or is it Mr Mistake? That's Mark Goodier. If you've have time to give him a listen Mon-Fri 10am-1pm, you'll see what I mean. Reading some of Dave's comments on him, I quite see what he means. I can understand why Mark, no longer works for the BBC. I know his ex-top 40 producer, & remembering him saying Mark has a brain like a sieve, & he had to write everything down for him. Good job, he doesn't produce for Yates then. No brain to start with! :lol: The Top Physical Singles 01 NE ROBBIE & GARY 02 01 KYLIE MINOGUE 03 02 STATUS QUO 04 04 ALEXANDRA BURKE 05 NE ENRIQUE & NICOLE 06 NE CEE LO GREEN 07 03 MORRISEY 08 05 OLLY MURS 09 06 MCFLY 10 07 MANIC STREET PREACHERS The shop buyers & physical format supporters don't like Cee Lo Green much, but there's no surprise in Robbie Peter Williams & Gary Barlow. Will they take the title of Top Combined Position this week? Hang on, & you'll find out very soon.

Well it's been a hard week, you know! :lol: Though it apparently was late in coming, if I'm correct.

Well thanks to Bray there, for pointing that out. I must admit to not being the greatest fan of TT. Can't help but think, that maybe there's no room in music for innuendo. Keep it clean, I say! But then maybe it's just my age & I'm out of touch with the average teenager. On to the finale. The top 75 based on averages both sales & downloads for this week (over a Sun-Fri basis).

Up.

Friday 1st October Just 12 weeks to Christmas! The usual selection of charts based on average sales & positions for the week. All put together by the incredible team at DTR (a non profitting Radio Group). This will be the last one from me for a bit (Hurray, you cry!) because I've got to have a holiday in the sun before Winter. I shall hand over my account to Alan for next week.

Yep, I could live quite easily without tv today. We don't have to pay for digital tv, but the BBC should certainly ditch the licence & be made to take adverts on both screen & radio...Radio One with ads, now wouldn't that be great...no time for inane chat! :o The Top Albums: 01 NE RECORD COLLECTION - MARK RONSON 02 03 SCIENCE & FAITH - SCRIPT 03 02 GOING BACK - PHIL COLLINS 04 NE REACH FOR FOR THE SKIES - RAF CENTRAL BAND 05 NE TIGER SUIT - KT TUNSTALL 06 NE ERIC CLAPTON - ERIC CLAPTON 07 RE GREATEST HITS - SIMPLY RED 08 20 SIGH NO MORE - MUMFORD & SONS 09 07 FLAMINGO - BRANDON FLOWERS 10 01 POSTCARDS FROM A YOUNG MAN - MANICS 11 09 TEENAGE DREAM - KATY PERRY 12 NE STATION TO STATION - DAVID BOWIE 13 NE LE NOISE - NEIL YOUNG 14 15 FAME - LADY GAGA 15 11 NOW 76 - VARIOUS 16 08 XX - XX 17 10 BAND OF JOY - ROBERT PLANT 18 14 AMERICAN ANTHEMS - VARIOUS 19 RE ONE OF THE BOYS - KATY PERRY 20 17 RECOVERY - EMINEM 21 06 A THOUSAND STARS - LINKIN PARK 22 22 VERY BEST OF 100 R + B CLASSICS - VARIOUS 23 13 MONSTER FLOORFILLERS 2010 - VARIOUS 24 12 SEAL VI - SEAL 25 NE ESSENTIAL R + B 90s ANTHEMS - VARIOUS 26 16 GUITAR HEAVEN - SANTANA 27 23 ELIZA - ELIZA DOOLITTLE 28 04 HANDS ALL OVER - MAROON 5 29 26 DANCE NATION 2010 - VARIOUS 30 25 MASH UP MIX 2010 - VARIOUS The Flashback to October 1991: Charts compiled by MRIB The Top TV back then 01 EASTENDERS 19.30 02 CORONATION STREET 18.70 03 RUTH RENDELL MYSTERIES 14.30...Series 5 of the drama.

I wonder why! Bruce Forsyth was on his 2nd series of the re-vamp Friday night showing "Generation Game". I'm never a fan of shows that come back years later, but perhaps I'd make an exception in Bruce's case. Although, Jim Davidson killed it later with his enormous ego & childish atempt at humour. The Top Albums in Oct 1991: You couldn't get away from Bryan! Where were those Compilations? Well Now Dance 91, wasn't far from the top ten. With the top ten itself, full of rock. 01 NE WAKING UP THE NEIGHBOURS - BRYAN ADAMS 02 01 USE YOUR ILLUSION 1 - GUNS N ROSES 03 02 USE YOUR ILLUSION 2 - GUNS N ROSES 04 03 ON EVERY STREET - DIRE STRAITS 05 20 ULTIMATE COLLECTION - MARC BOLAN/T.REX 06 NE TROMPE LE MONDE - PIXIES 07 05 FROM TIME TO TIME - PAUL YOUNG 08 NE CEREMONY - THE CULT 09 NE SCREAMADELICA - PRIMAL SCREAM 10 NE MR LUCKY - JOHN LEE HOOKER The Top Singles in Oct 1991: We were now sick of Mr Adams, on his 12th week at the top...But it seems like only yesterday! The Scorpions were robbed of that number one spot & only Kiri Te Kanawa could stop Bryan. Although on the London Chart, the Scorpions did spend 2 weeks at the top. 1991 also gave the first Midweek chart to listen to via Capital FM. On a Wednesday it were, with someone called Neil Fox. Much better days for Independant Radio...before they decided to totally make up the charts! Although in 1991, Mariah Carey's "Emotions" did hop up to number 6 on Capital's Local top 40, while it barely scraped top 20 on the Network Chart (still introduced by David Kid Jensen at this point). I don't recall Tina Turner re-entrying the chart, but she did apparently. The rather splendid version of Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me by Oleta Adams, was so much better that George Michael fella's, while the PJB version of Bridge Over Troubled Water was just total garbage, already ruin by Linda Clifford some 12 years before. 01 01 EVERYTHING I DO - BRYAN ADAMS 02 03 LOVE TO HATE YOU - ERASURE 03 02 LET'S TALK ABOUT S** - SALT N'PEPA 04 06 PEACE - SABRINA JOHNSTON 05 09 EVERYBODYS FREE TO FEEL GOOD - ROZALLA 06 05 INSANITY - OCEANIC 07 27 WIND OF CHANGE - SCORPIONS 08 13 SOMETHING GOT ME STARTED - SIMPLY RED 09 14 SUCH A FEELING - BIZARRE INC 10 10 CAN'T STOP THIS THING WE STARTED - BRYAN ADAMS 11 24 SALTWATER - JULIAN LENNON 12 16 SUCH A GOOD FEELING - BROTHERS IN RHYTHM 13 08 SUNSHINE ON A RAINY DAY - ZOE 14 17 NUTBUSH CITY LIMITS - TINA TURNER 15 31 JACKY - MARC ALMOND 16 18 ONE I LOVE - R.E.M. 17 11 WHAT CAN YOU DO FOR ME - UTAH SAINTS 18 15 CREAM - PRINCE 19 04 I'M TOO SEXY - RIGHT SAID FRED 20 NE BEST OF YOU - KENNY THOMAS 21 22 BRIDGE OF TROUBLED WATER - PJB/HANNAH AND HER SISTERS 22 07 DON'T CRY - GUNS N ROSES 23 36 LIVE YOUR LIFE BE FREE - BELINDA CARLISLE 24 12 CHARLY - PRODIGY 25 33 DON'T LET THE SUN GO DOWN ON ME - OLETA ADAMS 26 50 I THINK I LOVE YOU - VOICE OF THE BEEHIVE 27 32 TRY - BROS 28 30 FEEL EVERY BEAT - ELECTRONIC 29 19 20TH CENTURY BOY - T.REX 30 20 GETT IT OFF - PRINCE 31 40 LIVE FOR LOVING YOU - GLORIA ESTEFAN 32 42 INTERNAL EXILE - FISH 33 39 IS IT GOOD FOR YOU - HEAVY D AND THE BOYZ 34 44 I BELONG TO YOU - WHITNEY HOUSTON 35 21 LOVE...THY WILL BE DONE - MARTIKA 36 NE TOO MANY WALLS - CATHY DENNIS 37 NE NO MORE TEARS - OZZY OSBOURNE 38 NE LOVE'S A LOADED GUN - OZZY OSBOURNE 39 23 MAKIN HAPPY - CRYSTAL WATERS 40 NE SPECIAL WAY - RIVER CITY PEOPLE The Top Pre-Order Singles this week: 01 01 SHAME - ROBBIE AND GARY 4th Oct 02 NE f*** YOU - CEE LO GREEN 4th Oct 03 02 RADIO ACTIVE - KOL 4th Oct 04 NE PERFECT STRANGER - MAGNETIC MAN/KATY BRIEN 4th Oct 05 05 I'LL BE THERE - STAND 25th Oct The Top Pre-Order Albums this week 01 01 COME AROUND SUNDOWN - KOL 18th Oct 02 03 IN AND OUT OF CONSCIOUSNESS - ROBBIE WILLIAMS 11th Oct 03 04 DISC-OVERY - TINIE TEMPAH 4th Oct 04 02 tba - TAKE THAT 22nd Nov 05 08 SEASONS OF MY SOUL - RUMER 1st Nov Not discounting Rumer here.

Hang on for the top 75 lowdown, first though the ever decreasing physical singles: 01 NE KYLIE 02 NE STATUS QUO 03 NE MORRISEY 04 01 ALEXANDRA 05 02 OLLY 06 03 MCFLY 07 04 MANICS 08 05 ALESHA 09 06 SCISSOR SISTERS 10 08 WANTED Before we go on. Can anyone help with a good memory? The other day a bunch of us were discussing TV Sitcoms. We were try to rack our brains into which Sitcom had this plot: The people of the house can't afford a holiday, but want the rest of the street to think they are on holiday. So, they go out of the front door & double back round to the back door. They go back in the house & try to stay out of sight for a week, not switching on any lights or anything. Can anyone remember which Sitcom featured that Storyline? I've been trying all week & I can't get it. I thought it may have been "Sykes", but don't think it was.

Well i don't speak Afrikaans! It may have been confusing, because of a certain Irish band also called The Answer...Remember them?

Now last week, we were talking about Greg Street & various other covers that don't get registered. Well I did some digging this week & got told that anyone that makes the top 40 will always be included. If they don't make the 40, then they will never be included because the BBC do not recognise positions outside the top 40 & are not allowed to mention positions 41-75 anyway.

The only thing he's likely to be top of again! In his first whole week, Tony sold 63,000 in total which was a combo of the Hardback & the airport paperback. It wasn't the fastest selling book of all time though. That one goes to David Beckham. "My Side" sold 86,126 in 2 days & 103,508 in it's first full week, back in 2003. It's good to know that books in general are still selling well, in this lazy computer age. Though I must admit to reading the unpublished Dr Who Target novels online, but reading from a screen does tend to mess your eyes up, after a bit.

In Sept 1976, Dennis released the album & single "I'm Too Old To Play For The England Football Team"...Well, many were but it didn't stop them! 03 BRUCE FORSYTH AND THE GENERATION GAME 7.90...Bruce wins Saturday night tv, with a host of guests & hostess Anthea Redfern 04 CROSSROADS 7.60...down at the Motel, a la Benny, Meg et al 05 PILGER 7.40...an ITV documentary series with John Pilger tracing world history stuff, like propaganda, Australia, Israel & various other topics 06 THE TWO RONNIES 7.20...Series 5 featuring Fork Handles & The Phantom Raspberry Blower Of Old London Town 07 THE GOOD LIFE 7.10...Tom & Barbara vs Jerry & Margo in the Self Sufficiency sitcom 08 THE BENNY HILL SHOW 7.10...Wednesday at 8pm for Benny & co 09 DUCHESS OF DUKE STREET 7.10...the BBC's answer to Upstairs Downstairs based on the real life stories of Rosa Lewis & the Cavendish Hotel 10 CROSSROADS 7.00 11 CROSSROADS 6.80 12 THE BIONIC WOMAN 6.80...Lynsey Wagner as Jamie Somers in the US Sci-Fi series on ITV on Tuesdays at 7.30pm 13 CORONATION STREET 6.70...early days for Mike Baldwin at this point, having an affair with Bet Lynch 14 CROSSROADS 6.30 15 SPRING AND AUTUMN 6.30...Jimmy Jewel, Charlie Hawkins, & Jo Warne (who played the original Peggy Mitchell in Eastenders) star in the sitcom, where Jimmy plays a pensioner, who has many adventures with a young boy 16 CORONATION STREET 6.20 17 NINE O'CLOCK NEWS 6.20 18 NEWS AT TEN 6.10 19 THE DICK EMERY SHOW 6.00...Saturday night comedy with Dick in many a guise 20 DR WHO 6.00...The Masque Of Mandragora with Tom Baker & Elisabeth Sladen. The show reached it's peak & it was the last series with Liz as Sarah Jane Smith. Many people (at the time) said it should have been taken off after she left. I agree. I don't reckon it was ever the same again, & the plots were harder & harder to follow. But Saturday night & the BBC certainly won the schedules of Saturdays in general Just outside the top 20, there was Top Of The Pops, Happy Ever After, Tomorrow's World (3 Thursday night BBC winners), The Streets Of San Francisco, & The Fall & Rise Of Reginald Perrin. Kids tv saw Noel Edmonds, Keith Chegwin, Maggie Philbin, & John Craven in the 1st series of The Multi-Coloured Swap Shop featuring a cartoon break with Hong Kong Phooey...So, remember the name of Henry the mild mannered janitor's cat in that cartoon? The Top Albums in Sept 1976: Surprisingly no VA Comps in the chart in 1976 & 8 of the artists in the top ten had a number one single at some point in their career 01 03 GREATEST HITS - ABBA 02 01 20 GOLDEN GREATS - BEACH BOYS 03 04 A NIGHT ON THE TOWN - ROD STEWART 04 09 SPIRIT - JOHN DENVER 05 02 LAUGHTER AND TEARS - NEIL SEDAKA 06 05 GREATEST HITS II - DIANA ROSS 07 06 WINGS AT THE SPEED OF SOUND - WINGS 08 08 FOREVER AND EVER - DEMIS ROUSOS 09 07 A LITTLE BIT MORE - DR HOOK 10 11 BREAKAWAY - GALLAGHER AND LYLE 11 16 NO REASON TO CRY - ERIC CLAPTON 12 12 FRAMPTON COMES ALIVE - PETER FRAMPTON 13 14 BEAUTIFUL NOISE - NEIL DIAMOND 14 15 JAILBREAK - THIN LIZZY 15 23 ATLANTIC CROSSING - ROD STEWART 16 10 PASSPORT - NANA MOUSKOURI 17 22 BEST OF THE STYLISTICS VOL.2 - STYLISTICS 18 13 VIVA - ROXY MUSIC 19 24 BEST OF - GLADYS KNIGHT AND THE PIPS 20 17 THEIR GREATEST HITS 1971-75 - EAGLES The Top Singles in Sept 1976: My least fav Abba song at the top, the Real Thing off Opportunity Knocks 75, Rod x 2...If you were at TOTP in 76, you may have heard David Hamilton introduce Rod Stewart & "The Killing Of Georgie Fame". A big mistake by DH, who had had his drink spiked during recording! It was also the first time pan pipes appeared in the chart via Gheorghie Zamfir. 01 01 DANCING QUEEN - ABBA 02 04 CAN'T GET BY WITHOUT YOU - REAL THING 03 12 I AM A CIDER DRINKER - WURZELS 04 02 KILLING OF GEORGIE - ROD STEWART 05 13 MISSISSIPPI - PUSSYCAT 06 07 ARIA - ACKER BILK/HIS CLARINET & STRINGS 07 10 I ONLY WANNA BE WITH YOU - BAY CITY ROLLERS 08 09 BLINDED BY THE LIGHT - MANFRED MANN'S EARTHBAND 09 06 LIGHT OF EXPERIENCE - GHEORGHE ZAMFIR 10 05 YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO - CHI-LITES 11 16 DANCE LITTLE LADY DANCE - TINA CHARLES 12 03 LET EM IN - WINGS 13 08 16 BARS - STYLISTICS 14 25 SAILING - ROD STEWART 15 24 LOVING & FREE E.P. - KIKI DEE 16 18 BABY WE'D BETTER TRY AND GET IT TOGETHER - BARRY WHITE 17 21 I CAN'T ASK FOR ANYMORE THAN YOU BABE - CLIFF RICHARD 18 20 HERE I GO AGAIN - TWIGGY 19 31 GIRL OF MY BEST FRIEND - ELVIS PRESLEY 20 37 DISCO DUCK - RICK DEES 21 17 THE PRICE OF LOVE - BRYAN FERRY 22 19 YOU'LL NEVER FIND ANOTHER LOVE LIKE MINE - LOU RAWLS 23 11 DON'T GO BREAKING MY HEART - ELTON JOHN AND KIKI DEE 24 14 WHAT I'VE GOT IN MIND - BILLIE JOE SPEARS 25 40 BEST DISCO IN TOWN - RITCHIE FAMILY 26 22 NICE AND SLOW - JESSE GREEN 27 30 LOVING ON THE LOSING SIDE - TOMMY HUNT 28 26 HEAVEN IS IN THE BACK SEAT OF MY CADILLAC - HOT CHOCOLATE 29 15 YOU SHOULD BE DANCING - BEE GEES 30 23 A LITTLE BIT MORE - DR HOOK 31 36 I WANT MORE - CAN 32 35 SWEET HOME ALABAMA E.P. - LYNRYD SKYNYRD 33 27 AFTERNOON DELIGHT - STARLAND VOCAL BAND 34 43 EVERY NIGHT'S A SATURDAY NIGHT WITH YOU - DRIFTERS 35 NE GET UP OFFA THAT THING - JAMES BROWN 36 34 SHANNON - HENRY GROSS 37 29 IN ZAIRE - JOHNNY WAKELIN 38 39 WORK ALL DAY - BARRY BIGGS 39 50 BREAKAWAY - GALLAGHER AND LYLE 40 NE UPTOWN UPTEMPO WOMAN - RANDY EDELMAN Finishing off the look at 1976, I noted that a few newspapers were expresing concerns back then, at the growing number of under-age pregnancies i.e. before 16. 34 years on, what can I say? Jim Callaghan you had a lot to answer for, even before Mrs Thatcher came to power...& I didn't vote for either! :teresa: This week's top pre-order singles: 01 01 SHAME - GARY & ROBBIE 4th Oct 02 05 RADIO ACTIVE - KINGS OF LEON 11th Oct 03 07 EVERYDAY IS LIKE SUNDAY 27th Sept 04 08 LOVE PART 2 - BRIGHT LIGHT BRIGHT LIGHT 27th Sept 05 03 I'LL BE THERE - STAND 25th Oct This week's top pre-order albums: 01 01 COME AROUND SUNDOWN 18th Oct 02 03 tba - TAKE THAT 22nd Nov 03 02 IN & OUT OF CONSCIOUSNESS - ROBBIE 11th Oct 04 04 DISCOVERY - TINIE TEMPAH 05 08 REACH FOR THE SKIES - RAF CENTRAL BAND 27th Sept I always wonder why some artists i.e. Tinie Tempah, don't come up with more original titles...Look's like he's pulled out an ELO album from his collection, which I'd rather hear anyday! :teresa: Outside that lot, we've got Eric Clapton, David Bowie, Rumer, JLS, The Wanted, & someone called Joe McElderry (whose not got a title yet, for his 25th October release). We can only hope that it remains that way e.g. invisible!
