I`ve added it. Now how did I miss that!

Aren`t they a Dutch Research Company? They compile charts over a Mon-Sun period for every major Euro-Country. APC is AllTime Pop Classics. try apcchart.com

Makes no difference Robbie, nobody followed them anyway. Melody Maker didn`t feature albums in the main chart either. It was only NME & Disc. The BBC put them in, because they didn`t use an Album Chart until July 1969. But no album featured in the BBC Chart, after 1965 anyway. Possibly because Disc scrubbed them from April 1966. So from then on, only NME featured Albums in the Singles chart. Following on from this. These are all the songs that the BBC had at #1 between 1958-69, that did not feature at #1 in Record Retailers: Bird Dog - Everly Brothers Take Good Care Of My Baby - Bobby Vee Stranger On The Shore - Acker Bilk A Picture Of You - Joe Brown Please PLease Me - The Beatles Do You Want To Know A Secret - Billy J. Kramer Nineteenth Nervous Breakdown - Rolling Stones Sha La La La La La Lee - Small Faces This Guy`s In Love With You - Herb Alpert These Ones were definately not #1: On The Street Where You Live - Vic Damone It`s All In The Game - Tommy Edwards Day The Rains Came - Jane Morgan Mack The Knife - Bobby Darin Three Steps To Heaven - Eddie Cochran Shakin All Over - Johnny Kidd I Love You - Cliff Richard On The Rebound - Floyd Kramer Climb Every Mountain/Reach For The Stars - Shirley Bassey Kon Tiki - Shadows Wayward Wind - Frank Ifield Devil In Disguise - Elvis Presley Diane - Bachelors It`s All Over Now - Rolling Stones Little Red Rooster - Rolling Stones King Of The Road - Roger Miller Minute You`re Gone - Cliff Richard Legend Of Xanadu - Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich I Pretend - Des O`Conner Fire - Crazy World Of Arthur Brown Blackberry Way - The Move Most of them (except Shirley Bassey & Floyd Kramer) peaked at #2. With those other two, being #3s. E.P.s that featured in the BBC Top 10 were: Twist & Shout - Beatles #3 (Aug 1963) Got Live If You Want It - Rolling Stones #6 (July 1965) The One In The Middle - Manfred Mann#7 (July 1965) Other E.P.s were: Expresso Bongo - Cliff Richard #14 (Feb 1960) Follow THat Dream - Elvis Presley #18 (June 1962) Kid Galahad - Elvis Presley #24 (Oct 1962) Some People - Valerie Mountain #30 (Aug 1962) Beatles Hits - Beatles #17 (Dec 1963) Ain`t Gonna Kiss Ya - Searchers #14 (Oct 1963) Beatles No`1 EP - Beatles #20 (Nov 1963) Twist & Shout - Beatles (Re-entry) #12 (Dec 1963) Dave Clark Five EP - Dave Clark Five #25 (Jan 1964) Rolling Stones EP - Rolling Stones #19 (Feb 1964) Top Six EP - Various Covers (Feb 1964) just missed the top 30 All My Loving - Beatles #14 (Feb 1964) Long Tall Sally - Beatles #12 (July 1964) Five By Five - Rolling Stones #11 (Sept 1964) Bumble Bee - Searchers (May 1965) just missed the top 30 Universal Soldier - Donovan #12 (Sept 1965) I Need You - Walker Brothers #23 (June 1966) No Albums ever made the top ten. The closest was "With The Beatles" #11 (Dec 1963). Other Albums in the Top 20 were "A Hard Days Night" #18 (Aug 1964), "Beatles For Sale" #20 (Dec 1964), "Help" #20 (July 1965), "Rubber Soul" #23 (Dec 1965). "Rolling Stones No`1 LP #22 (Apr 1964), Rolling Stones No`2 LP #22 (Jan 1965), "Elvis Is Back" #19 (July 1960).

Reminds me of 2 years ago, and the beginnining of Basshunter!

Just outside the top 60, Rob...I did put it in.

What I would say is that, had the Guiness Book not have started in the first place...then the BBC would still have to refer to their charts, so no argument would be in place...And flawed errors are even more apparent in Record Retailer, right through 1960-69...With enormous fallers & re-climbers, and much behind all the other charts. Even the small returns of Disc And Music Echo was better than that. A chart that only featured a small number shops info, can never be excepted. Added to that...again Record Retailer didn`t have E.Ps in it, and the chart never appeared on any Record Shop walls. Infact no one ever saw it! On the NME front...Hype ruled all over the mid 60s for them. Hence the BBC averages iron out hype. In the NME, it mainly effected Bob Dylan & Jimi Hendrix. Melody Maker had the most number of shops polled in their compilation/featured on the walls of HMV...and there is little doubt that Herb Alpert was the nations #1 in August 1968, and did feature as the top #1, in the 3 way tie...as it was played as the last record on the 29th Aug edition of TOTP, & indeed POTP. Anyway, what is wrong with joint positions? NME had them, as did MM & RM. Only Disc seemed not too. Anything carried by the BBC had to be "Definitive", so it was far more correct than Record Retailer. If anyone says "Please Please Me" wasn`t #1 or even Acker Bilk wasn`t with "Stranger On The Shore", they must be talking junk. Have a listen to Pick Of The Pops 1962, by following the link on the Almost Saturday Charts page...David Jacobs didn`t talk rubbish.

Indeed. And Iyaz is not doing too well on sites other than iTunes. With Sidney having multi-different versions as well.

I wasn`t going to do this one, this week as commitments during the day put it out. But as 3 people sent emails, asking where it was. And Tom missed it as well! So here are the likelyhoods of what will happen for Sunday. Remember: this info based on sales Sun/Mon and pre-orders for new entries and compiled by DTR at 5pm today. The Singles chart is just based on downloads.

The Big Top 40 YEAR END CHART: 40 The Climb 39 Breathe Slow 38 Don`t Upset The Rhythm 37 Shake It 36 Knock You Down 35 Supernova 34 Release Me 33 Love Story 32 Break Your Heart 31 Bonkers 30 Not Fair 29 Red 28 Sweet Dreams 27 Single Ladies 26 I`m Yours 25 Empire State Of Mind 24 Evacuate The Dancefloor 23 I`m Not Alone 22 Sex On Fire 21 Killing In The Name 20 Halo 19 When Love Take`s Over 18 Jai Ho 17 Paparazzi 16 Beat Again 15 Right Round 14 Broken Strings 13 Bulletproof 12 Meet Me Halfway 11 Use Somebody 10 The Fear 09 Number One 08 Sexy Bitch 07 In For The Kill 06 Bad Boys 05 Boom Boom Pow 04 Fight For This Love 03 Just Dance 02 Pokerface 01 I Gotta Feeling This covered the period weeks 1-50 of 2009, and mixes Independant Radio Airplay with the iTunes chart. The top ten is that entirely of iTunes.

In the iTunes Chart of 09, I Gotta Feeling became the biggest download.

Tip: The Superstation are playing the complete top 40 0f 2009 with Jason Scott...that`s internet redio at it`s best. Radio One continues to be $h!te, as ever!

Apparently Reggie Yates will try to Countdown the Top 40 of 09, and look at the biggest albums too. Unfortunately he will miss a great deal out. There will be a short look at the new top 40, and the top 5 albums as ever.

Yeah, most of these tv countdowns broke off on Christmas Eve actually. But if MTV didn`t include those 2 songs, then it would have broken off on 12th December. The tv version of Hit40uk did feature The Climb and Killing In The Name. Surprisingly RATM were #7, and Joe was #9. I don`t believe the MTV countdown features Joe/RATM/Bad Romance. All told, a total of 126 songs made the Official top 10, during 2009. The complete Hit40uk TV Top 40: 01 Pokerface 02 I Gotta Feeling 03 Just Dance 04 Fight For This Love 05 In For The Kill 06 Boom Boom Pow 07 Killing In The Name 08 Number 1 09 The Climb 10 Bad Boys 11 Sexy Chick 12 Use Somebody 13 Beat Again 14 The Fear 15 Single Ladies 16 Halo 17 Broken Strings 18 Right Round 19 Jai Ho 20 Bonkers 21 Sex On Fire 22 Sweet Dreams 23 Breathe Slow 24 Paparazzi 25 When Love Takes Over 26 Not Fair 27 We Made You 28 Release Me 29 Shake It 30 Take Me Back 31 T-Shirt 32 Knock You Down 33 Supernova 34 Day N`Nite 35 Love Story 36 Beautiful 37 Break Your Heart 38 Evacuate The Dancefloor 39 Meet Me Halfway 40 Bulletproof That one was "made up" of 50/50 sales & tv airplay. If you can fathom it out! Personally I couldn`t. I doubt that the Big Top 40 on Independant radio will do a countdown of the year, as they are apparently there, to be ahead! But no doubt Red & I`m Yours would be jolly high on there, if they did.

THey were replaced by Central, TVS, & TSW. Both TVS & TSW lost theirs in 1993. Also in 1982, we looked forward to the likes of "The Young Ones", Boys From The Black Stuff", "Smiley`s People", & "The Bounder". Not forgetting the end of "It`s A Knockout". We also lost the Generation Game because Jimmy Tarbuck would not take over from Larry Grayson. This led to Noel Edmonds "Late Late Breakfast Show". Oh, Jimmy has a lot to answer for! :lol: The Top Albums in Jan 1982: With the 3rd run at the top for "Dare".

During the period of Dec 62 - March 63, it snowed for weeks, on end...now imagine that 47 years on, fun or what! People would have to get back to basics, and leave their cars permanently in their gardens/garages. Ain`t it funny that during this weather, that people seem more friendly on Public Transport, and when you`re out walking?! ;) You will need a password to hear this. The password is freeradio. http://www.azanorak.com/new/19621230Sun160...-remastered.zip

Who knows? I just typed it! :lol: Maybe it ain`t been combined. For instance on a certain Big Top 40 show, last Sunday...the info for the full week pulled off on Wednesday, and still showed RATM at #1! On Monday Cheryl was 19 and 42. It usually only pushes the first position about 5 higher anyway. FFTL is still doing better on other sites than that of iTunes. It`s #6 on one download site.

Yep, virtually the show is a waste of space and basically a repeat! :puke2: Thank God for "Are You Being Served" then! :D

The week on iTunes so far (Sun - Thurs): Thanks to Steve Johnson 01 Lady GaGa 02 Kesha 03 Black Eyed Peas 04 Rihanna 05 30H!3 06 Joe McElderry 07 Journey 08 Cheryl Cole 09 Robbie 10 JLS 11 Chipmunk 12 Bad Boys 13 Broken Heels 14 Saturdays 15 Black Eyed Peas 16 N-Dubz 17 Jason Derulo 18 Fight For This Love 19 Empire State Of Mind 20 Timbaland 21 Florence And The Machine 22 Pixie Lott 23 Young Forever 24 Alicia Keys 25 Miley Cyrus 26 Michael Buble 27 Wiley 28 Happy 29 Jay Sean 30 Chris Brown 31 Beat Again 32 Sex On Fire 33 Pokerface 34 Chuckie 35 Boom Boom Pow 36 Westlife 37 50Cent 38 Britney 39 RATM 40 Break My Heart 41 Paolo Natuni 42 Paparazzi 43 Oopsy Daisy 44 I Need You 45 Bodies 46 Esmee Denters 47 Sexy Chick 48 Telephone 49 Sugababes 50 Stop Crying Your Heart Out 51 30 Seconds To Mars 52 Use Somebody 53 Mr Brightside 54 Did It Again 55 X Factor Finalists 56 Whitney Houston 57 Chasing Cars 58 Chase And Status 59 One Shot 60 The Big Pink Quickly done but correct at 4pm today.

I predict Rihanna`s downfall in 2010. Watch the fall, like the album.

Top 10 at 10.30: 01 Bad Romance (Lady GaGa) 02 The Climb (McElderry) 03 Meet Me Halfway (Black Eyed Peas) 04 Tik Tok (Kesha) 05 Russian Roulette (Rihanna) 06 Starstruck (3OH!3) 07 3 Words (Cheryl Cole) 08 You Know Me (Robbie Williams) 09 Everybody In Love (JLS) 10 Don`t Stop Believin' (Journey)

Mark? No. He did it too long. Listening to him on Smooth Radio, I realise how unknowledgeable he really is, and boring is not the word! :o
