I remember Dustmen`s strike/Firemen and all that stuff. Leading to the end of the original Labour rule of Britain. I often wonder what we be like now had Mr Callaghan won the 1979 Election...The Public Transport/Gas/Electric etc may not have all been privatised. Is that why the country grinds to a halt today?

PSBs ahead because we`ve knock out all downloads on that. No sign of Alphabeat yet.

Am 05 Starstruck - 3OH!3 New 04 You Know Me - Robbie Wiiliams 03 Bad Romance - Lady Gaga 02 The Climb - Joe McElderry New 01 Killing In The Name - Rage Against The Machine New In comparing this list to mids, we lose Peter Kay & Pet Shop Boys...A given fact that those PSBs will be out of the mids by Friday. So, it`s just Kay missing. He fits in around #5 if the physicals are added in. The question is...Do McElderry`s physicals given him #1? Although HMV, have plenty physical copies of the 1992 offering by RATM. So, it could be very interesting...

Yep, it was quite close with Teletubbies and Spice Girls...even closer further back. In 1986, the Housemartins retained top spot until Jackie Wilson went ahead on the Saturday. 1980, again John Lennon was just beaten by the St Winifred`s School Choir, and the #3 by Jona Lewie was not far behind either in the closest Christmas top 3 ever...Shocking really. Even in 1985, Shakin`Stevens Northern sales gave him the #1. As Whitney Houston remained #1, all over Southern England`s regional charts. Before those...In 1970, Dave Edmunds almost missed out to McGuiness Flint with "When I`m Dead And Gone". They were leading until a late surge by "I Hear You Knocking" at the weekend. Cliff could of nudged ahead of Elvis in 1962, but didn`t quite with "The Next Time/Bachelor Boy". So, Elvis retained with "Return To Sender". Danny Williams couldn`t beat off Frankie Vaughan in time for 1961. So, "Tower Of Strength" was tops then. Cliff never got there for 1960, as Elvis stayed there with "It`s Now Or Never". "I Love You" stuck at 2. All that, but the closest ever #1s at Christmas were in 1959, when Adam Faith retained there with "What Do You Want" & Emile Ford And The Checkmates "What Do You Want To Make Those Eyes At Me For", just a few copies away...and similar titles containing those same 4 words! Same small copies apart in 1955, as Dickie Valentine was really going head to head with Bill Haley. Dickie`s "Christmas Alphabet" was not that far from Bill Haley...probably so close it was hard to seperate them.

It has to be said (I think), that both the Darkness & Teletubbies did retain a top position on the midweek part of the charts until the Friday. It was Saturday sales that put the re-made "Mad World" at the top, and also the same for the Spice Girls was it "Too Much", me thinks!

RATM will climb further by Sunday Obviously no Muppets...no downloads on them yet, not released until next week George Michael not released until Monday (again) Chuckie/LMFAO are top ten...If you look properly

Got to address it properly...I mean that dvd sales should not count to the singles chart if they can not be played on a CD player. How is a dvd...a record? I do think the singles charts of today are a complete mess. Reflecting the average 12 year old only. Hence the state of Radio One`s Chart Countdown. Wouldn`t it be just great if it were like the old days of all ages buying singles?

This show featured Kris Kristofferson & Rita Coolidge. Will the Muppets be in the pop chart today? Note: On the Friday of this week in 1978, BBC screens were blacked out by a Technicians strike. Star Trek/Citizen Smith/The Liver Birds were not screened. ITV reigned supreme with the Muppet Show/Survival Special/Sale Of The Century. BBC2 lost the Country Game/Leo Sayer. Also in 1978, we got our first taste of Aussie Soaps via "The Sullivans". Fortunately we were all at work at 12.30pm, and missed it! They were forgiven though, because we did get the Austalian version of the absolutely brilliant & funny "Father Dear Father" with the late & brilliant Patrick Cargill...Now how about a repeat of this hilarious sitcom ITV? Instead of endless re-runs of "Rising Damp".

During the week, I was aproached by a bunch of enthusiasts at DTR headquarters...they said "Dave, we are fed up with the way the charts are manipulated by crap talent shows, 12 year olds music, downloads and the like". I agreed with them all the way. So, I got my thinking cap on, and decided to come up with a more family related chart, like the days of the 60s/70s/80s. Here is what I came up with (after dumping X Factor/all download alones etc) 01 December Song - George Michael 02 Christmas EP - Pet Shop Boys 03 Bad Romance - Lady Gaga 04 Children In Need Medley - Peter Kay 05 Silver Bells - Terry Wogan/Aled Jones 06 A Soldier's Christmas - Soldiers 07 You Know Me - Robbie Williams 08 Meet Me Halfway - Black Eyed Peas 09 What About Now - Westlife 10 Doesn`t Mean Anything - Alicia Keys 11 Tik Tok - Kesha 12 I Wish - Mini Viva 13 I Need You - N-Dubz 14 Fragile Tension - Depeche Mode 15 Morning After Dark - Timbaland 16 About A Girl - Sugababes 17 Empire State - Jay Z 18 All You Need Is Love - Bandaged 19 Invaders Must Die - Prodigy 20 Got Some - Pearl Jam 21 You Got The Love - Florence And The Machine 22 Cornerstone Ltd - Arctic Monkeys 23 Rain - Mika 24 Just Like You - Ian Brown 25 Man`s Machine EP - Jamie T 26 Winter Winds - Mumford & Sons 27 Dominoes - Big Pink 28 The Spell - Alphabeat 29 Goodbye England - Laura Marling 30 Kings & Queens - 30 Seconds To Mars That`s the best I could do...with no downloads/crap talent shows/manipulated radioplay/boring same old Xmas songs...but just physically all ages related sales! Hang on for this week`s singles...

The finale. The complete combined singles compiled thus: The Top 20 based on Chart Show tv, but without airplay plus added sales. The 21-40 based on a mish-mash of physicals/downloads. The 41-75 based on downloads alone for that more up to date chart. All put together by DTR.

Some 9000 more than the rubbish at #2 (and biggest con of the year). Take away the dvd, and it falls to #8, and didn`t actually make #1!

I reckon, she`d carry it off rather well! Not to mention "Let`s Turkey Trot". Now that would be something! ;) "Gob Gob A Diddlet".

That`s the 14th Dec, though...So, we`ll find out next Monday.

I think it`s rather unfair. Even though IMHO I never ever rated Rihanna anyway, so it was a blessing! :lol: I compare Rihanna to Little Eva...both crap singers that can`t hold a note.

Unfortunately or not (for us). In our sampling we have not ever included dvd sales...that`s what has kept him at the top, because let`s face it, the actual madley is crap! :cry:

Slade & Wizzard tired in 2009! The worst song in was "Vada Via" and Drupi...european rubbish. The best (for me) was definately the Glitter (you can`t hairbrush history, and it was a great song with over a million sales in toe). Also Kiki Dee with the best song she ever cut. So, we`ll check out those two...in the oldies.

Where in an ideal world they`d be #1. What a farce of Cowell c*** we have to deal with year after year. As for people going for RATM for a laugh, well! The Physical Chart today has Joe/Peter/George/X Factor Finalists/Pet Shop Boys lining up. So, for our money George Michael is the better winner this Christmas.

Remember the follow up though? "Let`s All Sing Like The Birdies Sing"

It may mention Christmas (Last Year you went away at Christmas), but it`s hardly Christmas really. I mean if you include that, then we could include such songs as Kiss Me & Stephen Tin Tin Duffy because it mentions "Callers like it was Christmas Eve". It has to have a Christmas connection in the title really, and Sugababes would be New Year with this title, as in "This Perfect Year" along with Dina Carroll etc. It certainly does get difficult to compile though because like you say, you have to determine what really is Christmas or not. We don`t include East 17/Frankie Goes To Hollywood or stuff like that either as they cash inon Chrismas with snow & Nativity scenes etc, but don`t mention Christmas anywhere. It also is hard to go under #60 in the list because figures of sales are half cut, and questionable. I question earlier that Kate Bush sold 75,000 and also questioned the fact it wasn`t exactly Christmas either...It`s December based, with a line "Saint Nicholas down the chimney" but not all the way Christmas.

Note: Some figures are not exactly correct on some points, so I haven`t included them. For instance some people suggest that Kate Bush sold 75,000 in 1980 with "December Will Be Magic Again". If that is true, then the Barron Knights would have sold much more with "Never Mind The Presents". So, we are working on it!

Absolutely Pete. I doubt Mills/Or whoever will play any more than Yates. Unfortunately the programme is aimed at a bunch of kids, whom Radio One seem to highly regard it a good thing, to let them get high mobile phone costs, by texting constantly. The annoying thing is over on The BigTop40, they don`t play artists not on their playlists, but play the top ten twice and still manage to play about 45 songs! Radio One could be playing the Top 50 in those 3 hours, and they have no excuse...just a bunch of out of touch producers/crap presenters with a mental age of 12. One week, Yates spoke of going into a shop and sneezing and snot going on the counter. Do people (even kids) want to hear that on the air? Surely the teenagers have less juvenile chat than that themselves. It`s quite ridiculous.

The BBC called it "Gotcha"...sounds to Noel Edmonds! Very strange, when Jimmy Tarbuck turned down "The Generation Game" in 1982, that Noel Edmonds began his Saturday night reign as host of ill-fated "The Late Late Breakfast Show".

Why do people download the same Christmas songs every damn year? Where are the likes of Dana/Showaddywaddy/Gilbert O`Sullivan etc. That was the kind of stuff we listened too. I mean you only have to switch on the radio to hear Mariah/Wizzard/Slade/Pogues...4 songs I personally detest! "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday" is probably the worst, and just a remake of their previous hit "Angel Fingers". Anyway outside the Physical top 20 lurks Ian Brown/Taio Cruz/Timbaland/30 Seconds To Mars/50 Cent. What a shame Ian missed out.
