Probably he`s realised the show`s utter nonsense! This week, the lockdown of the top 10 happened at 6pm, but the chart they lockdown with suddenly changed to a 6.10pm one, because all of a sudden the iTunes had 2 new in the top 10! Even more amazing Daisy Dares You managed to achieve 3 places on the chart in one show...going 25 26 6 in 2 hours. Then Dizzee And Florence fell from 4 to 33, and then Florence on her own fell from 17, out of the chart totally....Hell, what is that programme about?

Right! The problem being...Once you get lower in the chart, figures start becoming so close, it`s hard to decifer them. Returns in the 60s were so low in the 31-50 in all the charts that had a top 50, that half were hyped in by Radio Stations & Record companies. Music Papers would advertise a minor new release, and the next week it would appear in the top 50, regardless of any sales!

It`s still called an Official top 200, though Bray.

It was only known as the "Official" chart from 15th Feb 1969, when the British Market Research Bureau, joined forces with the BBC for the first computerised chart, that sampled 300 shops.. It was only a decision by Paul Gambaccini, to use it in Guiness, as it was the first to use a top 50. Being over a certain age, I should know. In the 60s, it counted for nowt because sampling was really small (only 25 shops). All the major record stores used Melody Maker on their walls (with 150 shops polled), and of course the BBC`s own chart was most followed, and more fairer. It also has to be said that NME Charts were not followed by Stores in the 50s either. Again, Melody Maker appeared on walls. Infact, Melody Maker was the first paper to feature a chart based on singles in the late 40s, but stopped it prematurely before starting it again in March 1956. NME was not the first to use a chart entirely based on Record sales. Tell you what old boy, give me an email and i`ll share the Disc/MM/BBC Charts with you, not something uncredible for the time.

The official chart did not start until February 1969, no arguments. Before then there wasn`t a proper official one.

If I take a sneaky guess...I would definately say Boyzone will top the album chart next week, as it tops every pre-order shop chart.

"No", I said "I think six should be enough!!!!" Also on Kids tv in 1982, we had the beginning of "Postman Pat". The theme provided by Ken Barrie, who actually went to the trouble of learning Japanese. Why did he do that you ask? Well in 1963, he was recording for the Embassy Record Label, which was owned by Woolworths for cheap re-makes of current hits. Under a different name, Ken recorded a version of the Kyu Sakimoto hit "Suki Yaki", and it was rather good too! :o The Top Albums in March 1982: With a brief Haircut 100 at the top, the Jam were ready to take over, and 2 Barbara`s in the top 10, with different spellings! 01 02 PELICAN WEST - HAIRCUT 100 02 01 LOVE SONGS - BARBRA STREISAND 03 NE THE GIFT - JAM 04 04 ACTION TRAX - VARIOUS 05 05 DARE - HUMAN LEAGUE 06 06 ARCHITECTURE AND MORALITY - OMD 07 07 NON STOP EROTIC CABARET - SOFT CELL 08 08 PEARLS - ELKIE BROOKS 09 03 DREAMING - VARIOUS 10 09 ALL FOR A SONG - BARBARA DICKSON 11 NE ONE NIGHT AT BUDOKAN - MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP 12 NE DIAMOND - SPANDAU BALLET 13 11 PRIVATE EYES - DARYL HALL/JOHN OATES 14 10 ENGLISH SETTLEMENT - XTC 15 16 TWENTY WITH A BULLET - VARIOUS 16 24 WESTWORLD - THEATRE OF HATE 17 20 FREEZE FRAME - J GEILS BAND 18 15 BAT OUT OF HELL - MEAT LOAF 19 14 DEADRINGER - MEAT LOAF 20 12 WORD OF MOUTH - TONI BASIL The Top Singles in March 1982: Remember listening to Mike Smith on Sundays on Capital Radio, with the UK Top 30 at 2pm? This was just before he joined Radio One. Where I think he replaced Paul Burnett, and took over the lunchtime slot, including the Tuesday new top 40 rundown at 12.45. The rest of the weekday line-up on Radio One was Pat Sharp, Mike Read (always turning up late for Breakfast), Simon Bates, Dave Lee Travis, Steve Wright, John Peel. Adrian John, Tony Blackburn, Adrian Juste, Jimmy Savile, Tommy Vance, Anne Nightingale, Andy Peebles were all part of the Weekend. With David "Kid" Jensen doing a Sunday show "Music Now", featuring new releases at 2.30pm. And remember "The Great Rock N`Roll Trivia Quiz" at 4.30? 01 01 THE LION SLEEPS TONIGHT - TIGHT FIT Steve Grant the male model, join 2 other session singers in the group that didn`t exist as one and re-make the Tokens 1962 top 20 hit 02 02 MICKEY - TONI BASIL another remake, originally from 1979 by Racey...but they called it "Kitty" 03 14 SEVEN TEARS - GOOMBAY DANCE BAND could`ve been Boney M really, made in Germany 04 03 LOVE PLUS ONE - HAIRCUT 100 Nick Heyward and the gang with hit 2 05 05 IT AIN`T WHAT YOU DO - FUNBOY THREE/BANANARAMA After the Specials, Terry Hall went on and up came "Fun Boy 3", then it was the join by Bananarama, and the girls first taste of success 06 04 CENTREFOLD - J GEILS BAND over to Massachusetts for the rock band formed in 1967 07 10 GO WILD IN THE COUNTRY - BOW WOW WOW Malcom McClaren put this lot together, which featured most of the original Adam And The Ants line-up, plus Annabella Lwin from Liverpool. It was created by McClaren to promote Vivienne Westwood`s clothing range, who he was partner of 08 11 POISON ARROW - ABC up to Sheffield for their first top-tenner 09 06 SEE YOU - DEPECHE MODE Dave Gahan and co from Basildon...Electro all the way 10 12 CLASSIC - ADRIAN GURVITZ originally with the band "The Gun" in the 60s, he later teamed up with his brother and Ginger Baker as the Baker Gurvitz Army 11 20 JUST AN ILLUSION - IMAGINATION Leee John, suddenly heading towards the top 10 again. Leee was also featured on hits by the Elgins/Deffonics/Chairmen Of The Board & the Velvelettes 12 08 RUN TO THE HILLS - IRON MAIDEN Bruce Dickinson and co, from Leyton. Such a shame, downloads will prevent a further hit for them...Maybe push them for the anti-Cowell campaign next Christmas. Tell you what, let`s start it now. IRON MAIDEN for CHRISTMAS NUMBER ONE! 13 24 YOURS - JULIO IGLESIAS the ex-footballer, forced to quit because of injury. Injury to his vocal chords, not apparent...although pigeon English, was! 14 16 STARS ON STEVIE - STARSOUND hit 4 for the Dutch based session singers, who did achieve another hit there, with an Andrew Sisters type thing. With a turn as "The Star Sisters", with a medley of late 40s stuff...Good for Radio 2, but no one else it seemed 15 13 CARDIAC ARREST - MADNESS a dodgy title, and a lack of airplay for Suggsy and co 16 07 TOWN CALLED MALICE - JAM Paul and the gang, and the last year of them 17 09 DEUTSCHER GIRLS - THE ORIGINAL ADAM AND THE ANTS well so popular was Stuart Goddard and co, that they re-released all their old stuff. Originally from 1977 this one, and re-recorded for John Peel`s Radio One show in 1978, and featuring the original line-up, that was poached by Malcom McClaren 18 17 SOME GUYS HAVE ALL THE LUCK - ROBERT PALMER 2 Vinegar Joe ex-members on this chart, the late Robert, and the other being Elkie Brooks 19 29 PARTY FEARS TWO - ASSOCIATES the late Billy Mackenzie commited suicide in 1997, led by missed opportunities and general depression 20 23 LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND - JETS the English Jets, rather than the American ones...Infact there were 2 American ones, but this lot were 3 brothers, who covered the Rockabilly comeback of the 80s, rather like Darts/Rocky Sharpe 21 22 MUSIC FOR CHAMELEONS - GARY NUMAN Gary Webb, who loves eating toast, and appeared with Nine Inch Nails, last Summer at the O2 22 31 LAYLA - DEREK AND THE DOMINOES the re-issued 1972 hit, a la Mr Slow Hand (Eric Clapton) 23 15 SAY HELLO WAVE GOODBYE - SOFT CELL Marc Almond & Dave Ball with top three hit, number 3! 24 19 MAID OF ORLEANS - ORCHESTRAL MANOEUVRES IN THE DARK Andy McCluskey & Paul Humphreys formed the electro sound in 1978, and this was the follow up to the song, that is sometimes confused with this one "Joan Of Arc" 25 34 DAMNED DON`T CRY - VISAGE Steve Strange, and co...without the original formed partnering of Midge Ure (who got involved while he was with the Rich Kids in 1978) 26 27 HEAD OVER HEELS - ABBA...I always say I preferred the later sound of Abba. I mean couldn`t stand the over-played Mamma Mia/Dancing Queen etc. For me, just as they were getting their sound better, they split. This was their penultimate "new" hit. "Under Attack" was brill, as their last and that one was featured on the Late Late Breakfast Show in November 1982, which they appeared with Noel Edmonds 27 18 I CAN`T GO FOR THAT - DARYL HALL/JOHN OATES from Philadelphia, and they never got a decent sized hit in Britain. This was the biggest, and unfortunately not their best 28 43 YOUR HONOUR - PLUTO SHERVINGTON a re-issue from 1976, where it was put out as follow up to "Dat". I still have my promo copy from 1976! From Jamaica, his real name being Leighton Shervington 29 26 BAAL`S HYMN - DAVID BOWIE another forgotten hit via the Bowie. He was born in Brixton you know, and was 63 in January 30 21 GOLDEN BROWN - STRANGLERS the first hit by the gang to make Radio 2 airplay, and David Hamilton`s Record Of The Week in December 1981! 31 NE AIN`T NO PLEASING YOU - CHAS N`DAVE definately the best song in the chart, for the now seperated duo and many a send-up by those Two Ronnies 32 44 DON`T LOVE ME TOO HARD - NOLANS the girls got more, and the hits got smaller, but they were great weren`t they? Good Irish Girls 33 37 TAKE MY HEART - KOOL AND THE GANG 28 years in the business...Robert Bell and the gang, had to wait 15 years for a British Top 50 entry, after just missing in 1974 34 NE HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN LOVE - LEO SAYER little Leo, had a tv series in 1982, and that pushed his career up again. Originally produced by Adam Faith, he was an Australian but English born singer/songwriter and even wrote "Giving It All Away" the Roger Daltrey hit. Unfortunately Leo, started doing oldies...a bad move, as he gave a rendition of 28 year old "Unchained Melody", and also covered a 1974 hit by Aretha Franklin...who`s title escapes me! But you know the one I mean, I`m sure! 35 40 A BUNCH OF THYME - FOSTER AND ALLEN still doing the rounds today, off to Ireland...Tony Allen & Mick Foster influenced by the likes of Jimmy Shand, and selling Dvds well today too 36 28 THEME FROM HILL STREET BLUES - MIKE POST if you bought the single "Afternoon Of The Rhino" in 1975, and turn it over...you got the theme from "The Rockford Files". On the Hill Street Blues theme, he was joined by Larry Carlton, and it was essential late night viewing on ITV, prior to being picked up by Channel 4 37 45 ARE YOU LONESOME TONIGHT (THE LAUGHING VERSION) - ELVIS PRESLEY the original topped the charts in 1961, and this 70s recording featured Elvis breaking down in laughter, when he sang "Do You Gaze At Your Bald Head & Picture You`d Hair!" Reminding me of a joke...Why Did the bald man put 2 rabbits on his head? Well, from a distance it looked like Hares (Hairs)!!!! :lol: 38 30 FOOL IF YOU THINK IT`S OVER - ELKIE BROOKS the a-fore mentioned Elaine Bookbinder...she was 65 last month, and this was her last hit until 1986 39 33 YOU`RE THE ONE FOR ME - D TRAIN a big club sound, from James Williams, who got the nickname "D Train" as a football player in High School (that`s Secondary School, folks!) Hubert Eaves III provided the instrumentation, but spent most of his time with other R + B outfit "Mtume" 40 NE IS IT A DREAM - CLASSIX NOUVEAUX Sal Solo and co, only achieved one top 20 hit in Britain (apart from his solo hit "San Damiano"), but had number ones in Poland, Portugal, Yugoslavia, Israel, & Iceland The Top Physicals this week: 01 NE GAGA/BEYONCE 02 NE CHERYL COLE (PARACHUTE) 03 01 BOYZONE 04 NE BLACK EYED PEAS (RTB) 05 02 HELPING HAITI 06 03 JEDWARD 07 05 JLS 08 10 TIMBALAND/KATY PERRY 09 04 GABRIELLA CILMI 10 07 ELLIE GOULDING Only one other new entry in the top 20, from Skepta The Top Pre-Order Singles: 01 I`M NOT MAD - ALEX GARDNER 29th Mar 02 TALK ME DOWN - WESTLIFE 29th Mar 03 THIS AIN`T A LOVE SONG - SCOUTING FOR GIRLS 29th Mar The Top Pre-Order Albums: 01 NOW 75 - VA 29th Mar 02 HEADFIRST - GOLDFRAPP 22nd Mar 03 I SPEAK BECAUSE I CAN - LAURA MARLING 22nd Mar 04 BLACK ROCK - JOE BONAMASSA 22nd Mar 05 DEFAMATION OF STRICKLAND BANKS - PLAN B 12th Apr The Top 75 lowdown comes soon, hang around... http://www.mediafire.com/file/v5zm2gomdng/1979

But Eric, the top 10 at the beginning doesn`t include Thurs/Fri or Saturdays sales on iTunes. It`s even behind the official top 10. Give us a listener on the Superstation http://www.thesuperstation.info on Sunday at 4pm, and the music is practically non-stop for the complete top 40, and the best chart show around...Promise!

iTunes Top 50, for the week so far (Sun-Thurs 4pm) 01 Tinie Tempah 02 Rihanna 03 Jason Derulo 04 Ellie Goulding 05 Florence & Dizzie 06 Wiley 07 Alicia Keys 08 Boyzone 09 Timbaland/Katy 10 Cheryl Cole 11 Gramophonedz 12 Owl City 13 Daisy Dares You 14 Sugababes 15 Chiddy Bang 16 Young Money 17 Leona 18 JLS 19 3OH!3/Katy 20 Jay Sean 21 Glee- Don`t Stop 22 Marina 23 Kesha/3OH!3 24 Black Eyed Peas -RTB 25 Jay Z/Alicia 26 Lady GaGa 27 Mary J Blige 28 Iyaz 29 Lemar 30 Journey 31 Glee - Halo etc 32 Florence 33 Pixie Lott - Gravity 34 Jason Derulo - Ridin Solo 35 Lady GaGa/Beyonce 36 Chris Brown 37 Mumford And Sons 38 Kesha - Tik Tok 39 Glee - Defying Gravity 40 Example 41 Jason Derulo - Watcha Say 42 Jay Z/Mr Hudson 43 Saturdays 44 Alexandra - Broken Heels 45 Sidney Samson 46 Glee - Its My Life etc 47 Helping Haiti 48 Alphabeat 49 Black Eyed Peas - MMH 50 Florence - Dog Days Now last week, someone suggest that the chart I put, was ahead of the top 10 that was broadcasted at the start of the dodgy Big Top 40 on the Sunday...That is because the Big Top 40 week`s top 10 at the start of the show, breaks off on Wednesday night. Last Sunday, their week`s top 10 had Dizzee & Florence still at the top. Indeed it was until Thursday, when Jason took over. The top ten on Big Top 40, has always broke off on a Wednesday. The reason is uncertain, but even at New Year point they still show Rage Against The Machine ahead, even when Joe McElderry had taken over, by the weekend. So from that point, Joe never got there on Big Top 40, but in reality he did. Confused? Well don`t listen to Big Top 40!

Thanks for putting it up, Tom. I now say Wiley are up to 8...and place Daisy Dares You up to 22...and put Black Eyed Peas in the bottom of the top 30.

Thanks Ethan...Any chance of adding Tesco and HMV? HMV have a new download site, these days...all though it doesn`t count for much.

Actually Rudolph Walker, Martin! But he actually lived near me, during the "Love Thy Neighbour" run. He was so hilarious, when he went in our local builders merchants, and is a regular DIY fanatic. But both he & Nina, declined to appear in the Australian series of "Love Thy Neighbour" in 1980. Jack Smethurst appeared though. The plot line being that he moved for a job, and the coincidence that his new neighbour`s were also black!

In Capital FM`s daft wisdom, they were using a 50/50 airplay sales chart. Which was (and still is nonsense). MRIB`s compilation also used airplay, but it only used it on new entries/risers. This is where Independant Radio go wrong now. Airplay is used in falling songs, and slows the chart too much. In the falling sector of MRIB, songs going down the chart actually fell faster, because of the ruling airplay of new/rising stuff. Falling songs in the 31-75 part of the chart, for a number of consequetive weeks, were dropped from the chart totally.

It`s not impossible for them to go, over Timbaland.

Pretty close, as both were neck & neck on Thursday PM. Jason will take it for Sunday, as he has the advantage of appearing on all download sits, and Dizzee/Florence do not, that`s how they missed out.

You know Robbie, I`m thinking...What would the response be if "Love Thy Neighbour" was shown today...the early episodes were more derogatory of the later ones, which I found rather tame. And as the dodgy remarks come from the central character of "Eddie Booth", & "Bill Reynolds" is just as bad back to him, and all the other characters don`t have a go, anyway it`s not as "rascist" unfunny as many pundits make it seem with "Eddie" coming a cropper in the end at all times. Then the sexist "On The Buses" is probably worse...

On the typical average Commercial Independant Radio front i.e. Heart/Capital and that junk brigade, I would say they lost it when they all seperated the individual Local sound. Independant used as the word here is a joke...Independant means of it`s own, not a great group, all playing the same boring/sold up stuff. Probably Capital killed itself in 1988, when they launched the Gold service on A.M. Shouldn`t all of those greats of Kenny Everett/Alan Freeman/Graham Dene/Tony Blackburn/David Hamilton all of remained FM presenters...Ageism is against the law says the Government. Radio One a fine example of breaking the law, these days too.

It was a government paper, that surveyed the nation. The results were the average listener of Radio 2 was over 50. The report stated that 2 was not reflecting that, and it was set out to do so, when it started. Radio One was actually set out in 1967, to cover the teens-forties. That`s what they mean. Although we already know Radio One has been going wrong since 1993, and the Matthew Bannister clear-out. I would personally say that the 25-50 group has been long forgotten, even previous to 1993. I remember a stupid remark by Radio One Producer "Dave Price" in 1985, when he stated "When Radio One started it never played oldies, previous to 1967 hits". This was the biggest bollocks ever spoken. Blackburn/Rosko/Jimmy Young et al, always played oldies even from the 50s. If you look at it that way today, Radio One should actually be playing 60s/70s/80s/90s/00s hits, as well as new material. Radio Two, according to the paper set out, should be going into the 40s/50s/60s/70s/80s/90s/00s as an easy listening station, with the added bonus of "todays" easy listening songs.
