Did you know there are more people from Uruguay in the UK, than French people?! :teresa:

Not close. Infact they may well go the other way by Sunday & Jason Derulo could be 11.

The Top 75 lowdown...thus compiled by our friends at DTR, with the top 40 based on a mingling of physicals & downloads & the 41-75 entire downloads for that little bit ahead feel. Just before we start, I must dedicate the chart to Mark Goodier...while doing his show on Smooth Radio this morning he made such a hysterical error! Infact I fell off my bar stool. Our old friend Mark was talking about that classic film "Psycho". Apparently the main character in this film was called Simon Bates! Some error Mark! :o We now await the re-working of the Plan B album, as "The Defamation Of Simon Bates" then! :lol: Top 75 EXAMPLE - WTSCU Top 70 OASIS - SCYHO ENGLAND/NEW ORDER FAT LES Top 60 RIHANNA - RB SFG 24) KELIS 23) DRAKE JOURNEY BLACK EYED PEAS 22) LADY GAGA - BR 21) PRETTY RECKLESS 20) LISSIE GLEE - ANYWAY YOU WANT IT etc Top 50 50 RE MEMORIES - DAVID GUETTA 49 NE PRAYIN - PLAN B 48 RE WON'T GO QUIETLY - EXAMPLE 19) 47 41 EMPIRE STATE OF MIND II - ALICIA KEYS 46 46 NEED YOU TONIGHT - PROFESSOR GREEN 18) 45 42 BABY - JUSTIN BIEBER 44 33 DON'T STOP BELIEVIN - GLEE 43 30 OVER THE RAINBOW - GLEE 42 37 GOOD TIME - ROLL DEEP 17) 41 NE WE NO SPEAK AMERICANO - MARCO CALLIARI 40 38 TELEPHONE - LADY GAGA/BEYONCE 15) 39 31 TENDERONI - KELE 38 24 3 LIONS - BADDIEL SKINNER LIGHTNING SEEDS 14) 37 40 I LIKE - KERI HILSON 36 25 SOLO - IYAZ 35 34 PASS OUT - TINIE TEMPAH 34 22 DIRTEE DISCO - DIZZEE RASCAL 33 36 SHE'S ALWAYS A WOMAN - FYFE DANGERFIELD 32 28 HEY SOUL SISTER - TRAIN 13) 31 39 WAKA WAKA - SHAKIRA 30 23 STEREO LOVE - EDWARD AND VIKA 12) 29 29 SHE SAID - PLAN B 11) =20 28 19 CANDY - AGGRO SANTOS & KIMBERLY WYATT 27 20 WE DANCE ON - N-DUBZ 26 NE SHUTTERBUG - BIG BOI 25 26 CAN`T BE TAMED - MILEY CYRUS 10) 24 17 TE AMO - RIHANNA 23 21 ALL NIGHT LONG - ALEXANDRA BURKE 9) =19 22 12 TURN IT UP - PIXIE LOTT =18 21 NE HELLO GOOD MORNING - DIDDY & CO 20 15 TRY SLEEPING - ALICIA KEYS =16 19 14 YOUR LOVE IS MY DRUG - KESHA =17 18 13 NOTHIN ON YOU - B.O.B/BRUNO MARS 8) =14 17 16 EENIE MEENIE - SEAN & JUSTIN =15 16 27 AIRPLANES - B.O.B./HAYLEY WILLIAMS 15 11 OMG - USHER =13 14 07 DANCING ON MY OWN - ROBYN 7) =11 13 18 COMMANDER - KELLY ROWLAND =12 12 09 RIDIN SOLO - JASON DERULO =9 11 NE FIRE WITH FIRE - SCISSOR SISTERS 6) =10 10 08 GETTIN OVER YOU - DAVID GUETTA =8 09 NE LOVE THE WAY YOU LIE - EMINEM & RIHANNA 08 05 FRISKY - TINIE TEMPAH 5) =7 07 10 ALEJANDRO - LADY GAGA 06 04 ALL THE LOVERS - KYLIE =6 05 06 NOT AFRAID - EMINEM 5) =5 04 03 KICK STARTS - EXAMPLE 4) =4 03 01 SHOUT FOR ENGLAND - DIZZEE RASCAL & JAMES CORDEN 3) =3 02 02 WAVIN`FLAG - K`NAAN 2) =2 01 NE CALIFORNIA GURLS - KATY PERRY & THE DOGG 1) =1 ) Position without downloads alone = Position on Chart Show tv Katy and Snoop pull it off. No doubt he'll still swear though! Award of worst entry of the week goes to Diddy & his crew. Formerly Puff Daddy...now let's give David Hamilton a ring to see if he's sued yet! ;) You can't take it lightly David, there's only one Diddy & that's you. Don`t forget to join Jason Scott on http://www.thesuperstation.info on Sunday to stay ahead with the chart with those new entries before the rest, and the complete top 40 at 4pm, or if you can`t wait until then, listen tomorrow at 12pm on WCR FM on the net & you can hear it a whole day before everyone else! Don`t forget Richard Todd`s Retro Chart on Sunday at 2pm on Atlantic Oldies 2ng for a look at that sizzling hot Summer of June 1976, that of course also via the net.

Insight says not. But I do know the fans aren`t actually happy about it. I have a little side-line in running one of her fanclubs, and everyone is tad bemused why Kylie`s management did not release the physical at the same time, as the download. She has big physicals (if you pardon the pun)! So, if both were out together, it would put her in a challenging position for a bigger place. It could cost her the top 3 altogether. A big mistake!

I was checking this earlier. We came to the conclusion that it will only chart in the dvd chart. Though the sales of it (if it were in the Albums Chart) would put it near to Justin Bieber`s & Christina Aguilera`s this week. So, it wouldn`t be exceptionally big.

Friday 18th June We start this edition of the thread, with a bit of sad news. If you were a listener to the Top 20 & Top 40 in it`s hey day on Radio One & 2 in the 1976-83 era, you may remember Tom Browne/Simon Bates/Tony Blackburn/Tommy Vance thanking the producer Bernie Andrews. Today I heard that Bernie passed away last week. So, we salute him in memory & dedicate the thread to him this week.

With no less than 8 Football related songs in the top 50! Surely some record? Gonna stay off the sales, because some of those knobs elsewhere get a bit funny, if you know what I mean! :rolleyes: Don`t forget to join Jason Scott on Sunday at 4pm on http://www.thesuperstation.info where you won`t hear Empire State Of Mind for the thousandth time! And for those vintage sounds of 1982, join Richard Todd & moi on Sunday at 2pm on Atlantic Oldies 2ng across the internet.

Rolf Harris didn`t sell much over 600,000 in 1969. Most of his sales were in 1970. The Archies sold more in 1969, so can drop around 100,000 for 1970 at least. Both do not belong in the 1960s top 20. We think the Archies are nearer to Cathy`s Clown & Rolf may not belong in the top 60 at all. I got a list for 1950s, that Paul Burnett counted down a few years back. I`ll post it at some point. Did you do one, Colin? Based on the 50s, I mean? The problem with sales figures in those days is that, when the shops supplied them to the compilers i.e. NME/RR/RM/MM/DISC ete, they only supplied there shop sales in chart form. All the compilers did was average the shops charts out, rather similar to the BBC`s idea.

We now know for certain that Rolf Harris`s 1970 sales have been included (when they shouldn`t of been). This would put him behind "A Hard Day`s Night".

Apologies. It started out as a genuine error on my part, as I was trying to do 2 things at once. Then I didn`t check it, and the other comments/jokes rolled in. We`ll keep it, to the point in future. Unfortunately though we can`t wrap people in cotton wool, and I think most like it to be light-hearted & not take it too serious. If we did, we`d have a Country, where everybody would be scared to speak to each other. Then everyone would be miserable in another sense. No comedians on TV, no comedy...just too much serious stuff, & no fun. I`m sure nobody wants to live that way. It seems that`s where the general media is heading today, though. Feel free to edit the offending posts.

Unfortunately for us, they don`t even make out top 100. Shocking really, I would have thought it would have scraped the top 50 even.

The answer is I`m not gonna stick my neck out, but it is "Gettin Close"!!! It will be there next week, for sure...then there`s Miley Cyrus. Will she be in the top ten on Sunday? Well she`ll definately be heading towards the top 15. The downloads taking over even more, with just 16 of the 40 available in the shops, and one of them only available on import.

I typed it wrong the first time! Probably because I was taking a phone call, while I typed. :lol: I`ve just realised that from that particular list, we are being told that "Merry Christmas Everybody" didn`t clear a million during the 70s, and it happened later. I supose it`s feasible? I just found a top ten of the 50s, with sales which I might post...as it means another entry overlooked in the Top 100 of all time. That is Anton Karas & "The Harry Lime Theme" (from the Third Man). It was a big seller before the charts began during 1949/50.

Those sales were mentoined in the magazine. It was all put together by Record Business & EMI. No connections with BMRB. It apparently cuts off on Friday 7th December 1979.

Yep, I`ve been thinking that too. But all the lists of Best Selling 70s hits, say no.

I`m bumping this one up, because I`ve located the Record Business Top 40 of the 70s, which comes along as being slightly better than the British Market Research Bureau list. Both came from the end of 1979, of course: 01 MULL OF KINTYRE - WINGS 77 2m 02 RIVERS OF BABYLON/BROWN GIRL IN THE RING - BONEY M 78 03 YOU`RE THE ONE THAT I WANT - TRAVOLTA/NEWTON JOHN 78 04 MARYS BOY CHILD-OH MY LORD - BONEY M 78 05 SUMMER NIGHTS - TRAVOLTA/NEWTON JOHN 78 06 YMCA - VILLAGE PEOPLE 78 07 SAVE YOUR KISSES FOR ME - BROTHERHOOD OF MAN 76 08 BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY - QUEEN 75 09 HEART OF GLASS - BLONDIE 79...more likely 10 10 DON`T GIVE UP ON US - DAVID SOUL 77...more likely 11 11 BRIGHT EYES - ART GARFUNKEL 79...more likely 9 12 I LOVE YOU LOVE ME LOVE - GARY GLITTER 73 1m 13 LONG HAIRED LOVER FROM LIVERPOOL - LITTLE JIMMY OSMOND 72 985,000 ***more likely 14 14 EYE LEVEL - SIMON PARK ORCHESTRA 73 ***more likely 13 15 DON`T CRY FOR ME ARGENTINA - JULIE COVINGTON 77 16 I`D LIKE TO TEACH THE WORLD TO SING - NEW SEEKERS 72 17 TIE A YELLOW RIBBON - DAWN 73 18 UNDER THE MOON OF LOVE - SHOWADDYWADDY 76 19 MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY - SLADE 73 20 HIT ME WITH YOUR RIBBON STICK - IAN DURY 79 21 SAILING - ROD STEWART 75 22 MISSISIPPI - PUSSYCAT 76 23 THREE TIMES A LADY - COMMODORES 78 24 WE DON`T TALK ANYMORE - CLIFF RICHARD 79 900,000 25 FLORAL DANCE - BRIGHOUSE & RASTRICK BRASS BAND 77 26 I DON`T LIKE MONDAYS - BOOMTOWN RATS 79 27 YOU WON`T FIND ANOTHER FOOL LIKE ME - NEW SEEKERS 74 855,000 28 WHEN A CHILD IS BORN - JOHNNY MATHIS 76 29 ARE FRIENDS ELECTRIC - TUBEWAY ARMY 79 30 DON`T GO BREAKING MY HEART - ELTON JOHN/KIKI DEE 76 more likely 31 31 WITHOUT YOU - NILSSON 72 more likely 32 32 WELCOME HOME - PETERS AND LEE 73 more likely 33 33 DANCING QUEEN - ABBA 76 more likely 34 34 MY SWEET LORD - GEORGE HARRISON 71 800,000 more likely 35 35 SUNDAY GIRL - BLONDIE 79 ***NME reckon 30 in a 70s poll, more likely 45 36 NIGHT FEVER - BEE GEES 78 ***possibly 32, more likely 44 37 BYE BYE BABY - BAY CITY ROLLERS 75 38 IF YOU LEAVE ME NOW - CHICAGO 76 795,000 39 AMAZING GRACE - ROYAL SCOTS DRAGOON GUARDS 72 ***possibly 20, because NME say it sold over 960,000 40 BLOCKBUSTER - THE SWEET 73 785,000 41 THE SMURF SONG - FATHER ABRAHAM 78 ***possibly 31, more likely 30 42 WHEN I NEED YOU - LEO SAYER 77 more likely 36 43 I WILL SURVIVE - GLORIA GAYNOR 79 more like 41 44 WHEN YOU`RE IN LOVE WITH A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN - DR HOOK 79 more like 42 45 HOW DEEP IS YOUR LOVE - BEE GEES 77 more like 43 46 PUPPY LOVE - DONNY OSMOND 72 47 MY DING-A-LING - CHUCK BERRY 72 48 SILVER LADY - DAVID SOUL 77 775,000 49 KNOWING ME KNOWING YOU - ABBA 77 50 MY COO-CA-CHOO - ALVIN STARDUST 73 51 ERNIE (THE FASTEST MILKMAN IN THE WEST) - BENNY HILL 71 52 TIGER FEET - MUD 74 53 A LITTLE BIT MORE - DR HOOK 76 54 FERNANDO - ABBA 76 55 GRANDAD - CLIVE DUNN 71 56 LONELY THIS CHRISTMAS - MUD 74 57 WAY DOWN - ELVIS PRESLEY 77 58 I FEEL LOVE - DONNA SUMMER 77 765,000 59 BILLY DON`T BE A HERO - PAPER LACE 74 60 DANCE AWAY - ROXY MUSIC 79 750,000 61 RAT TRAP - BOOMTOWN RATS 78 62 GONNA MAKE YOU A STAR - DAVID ESSEX 74 63 I`M THE LEADER OF THE GANG - GARY GLITTER 73 64 SO YOU WIN AGAIN - HOT CHOCOLATE 77 740,000 65 SEE MY BABY JIVE - WIZZARD 73 66 TAKE A CHANCE ON ME - ABBA 78 67 CHIRPY CHIRPY CHEEP CHEEP - MIDDLE OF THE ROAD 71 68 I HEAR YOU KNOCKING - DAVE EDMUNDS 70 69 THE WONDER OF YOU - ELVIS PRESLEY 70 70 IN THE SUMMERTIME - MUNGO JERRY 70 71 YES SIR I CAN BOOGIE - BACCARA 77 730,000 72 ANGELO - BROTHERHOOD OF MAN 77 73 CRAZY HORSES - OSMONDS 72 74 LOVE ME FOR A REASON - OSMONDS 74 725,000 75 CHANSON D`AMOUR - MANHATTEN TRANSFER 77 *** This means I reckon the record to be to high or low, a NME list proves it and another site did too (but I couldn`t find that today). From Record Business Magazine. They did print a top 100, but the bottom of the page is torn off. It finishes at 78 with the split page & "Seasons In The Sun" is 76, with "Cum On Feel The Noise" at 77 & "Maggie May" at 78 credited as 700,000 sales. That probably lists every record (apart from "Another Brick In The Wall") which sold 700,000 plus during that decade. So, it maybe should be included somewhere.

The Beatles — She Loves You 1) Return To Sender 40) Twist & Shout EP 42) Rock-Hula-Baby 43) Do Wah Diddy Diddy 44) I Got You Babe 45) Lily The Pink 46) Whiter Shade Of Pale 47) Little Children 50) You`re My World 51) Puppet On A String 58) Have I The Right 59) What A Wonderful World/Cabaret 60) Those 11 did feature in the top 60 in the 1973 compiled chart....We do have to note two things, both "Lady Madonna" & "Jumping Jack Flash" are 1968 hits, that were played with Tony`s Countdown, but did not appear in 1973`s compiled chart...so they might have been overlooked then. No sign of "Cathy`s Clown" in 1973, but "Apache" was in...where as there was no sign of "Summer Holiday" in 1973 either...all very mind boggling on both compiled charts. Looking at Tony`s Countdown again...I`d say yes it was probably more correct than 1973, but lacking in "The Twist & Shout E.P." That should appear at around number 48....

I listened to it intently. There are a number of missing hits that I would have thought should be there as in Return To Sender, A Whiter Shade Of Pale...which all appeared in the original compilation by the British Market Research Bureau in 1973....and of course the above chart, does prove that "Nineteenth Nervous Breakdown" out sold "These Boots Are Made For Walkin". Which also means the actual BBC Chart of the day was correct in saying in was number one and in front of Nancy Sinatra for 3 weeks. Like, of course "Stranger On The Shore" was also number one on the BBC Top 20, and indeed the Allisons "Are You Sure". The Beatles "Twist And Shout" E.P. should be in there, because it sold far more copies than "Oh Pretty Woman" & "Summer Holiday" for two! But less than "Wooden Heart". 60s sales are hard to come by, and the chart from this morning is probably far from accurate. Only the top 15 can be taken seriously, and the rest is probably best taken with a pinch of salt. The fact that we are being told both "Jumping Jack Flash" & "Delilah" outsold "What A Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong seems even more hard to get your head around too. An official chart from the 60s in any form is entirely impossible. It would be nice to see one of the 70s, though! The year end charts featured in Record Retailer for the 1961-69 period are not based on record sales, but on the length of chart runs. So, they won`t tell you anything for the above chart. If we do take the above chart seriously (apart from the non-inclusion of "The Twist & Shout E.P.), it means that these records must be just outside the top 60: Return To Sender - Elvis Presley Rock-A-Hula-Baby/Can`t Help Falling In Love - Elvis Presley Do Wah Diddy Diddy - Manfred Mann I Got You Babe - Sonny & Cher Lily The Pink - The Scaffold A Whiter Shade Of Pale - Procol Harum Little Children - Billy J. Kramer & the Dakotas You`re My World - Cilla Black Puppet On A String - Sandie Shaw The Wedding - Julie Rogers Have I The Right - The Honeycombs What A Wonderful World/Cabaret - Louis Armstrong Wonderful Land - The Shadows A World Without Love - Peter & Gordon Cinderella Rockefella - Esther & Abi Ofarim Walking Back To Happiness - Helen Shapiro It`s Over - Roy Orbison House Of The Rising Sun - Animals Go Now - Moody Blues This Is My Song - Petula Clark These Boots Are Made For Walkin - Nancy Sinatra I'm Into Something Good - Herman`s Hermits I Can`t Stop Loving You - Ray Charles Something Stupid - Frank & Nancy Sinatra Juliet - Four Pennies March Of The Siamese Children - Kenny Ball & His Jazzmen Mr Tambourine Man - Byrds Good Luck Charm - Elvis Presley Silence Is Golden - Tremoloes Massachusetts - Bee Gees Yeh Yeh - Georgie Fame The Good The Bad & The Ugly - Hugo Montenegro Israelites - Desmond Dekker Young Girl - Union Gap Ballad Of Bonnie & Clyde - Georgie Fame Keep On Running - Spencer Davis Group How Do You Do It - Gerry & The Pacemakers Albatross - Fleetwood Mac Let The Heartaches Begin - Long John Baldry San Francisco - Scott McKensie They all featured in a top 100 of the 60s, compiled in 1973 & again "Runaway" & Del Shannon did not feature even in a top 100. Number 101 came in as "Crying In The Chapel" and Elvis.

Hurts have had it...they`ll be lucky to be in the top 50 on Sunday. It`s a shame because one of the members is ill, and the tour has been cancelled GaGa could be in, but Rihanna`s "Rude Boy" is gaining again too.

And so close in 1982, with Adam Ant taking the midweek number one.
