Nerd question time. Was Please released on CD at the same time as the LP and cassette, or did it come out solely on those formats at first? No, I was researching the Record Mirror CD charts a year or so ago, and that led me to conclude that the CD was likely released in June 1986, whereas the LP/CS...

I'm not sure how/whether this is available in the UK, but if you can read it, there's a nice article from BBC Culture here: https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/202 ... e-comeback

It's more than just a new video. This is such a great new version!

How many physical singles do you have to sell nowadays to be number one? It's pitiful - this time last year, it was about 200, although Wham! sold 4,859 copies of Last Christmas on vinyl, erm, last Christmas. It might have also been a bit higher this week (The Weeknd at #7 sold 106 physical copies,...

Agreed, on every point. I read the fox hunting book once... a very entertaining read as I recall. Strange to see my own posts on the first page of this thread. I have literally no memory of (a) the conversation, or (b) reading the book. I assume it was this one , and that I probably read it around ...

It's been floating around that area for weeks. The short answer is that you don't need to sell many copies to get there - on 8th Feb this year, #58 sold 7 copies; on 1st Mar, #64 sold 6. So it needs fewer than 10 of us to buy it in a week for it to hang around the lower reaches of that chart. Edit: ...

I've been researching old charts for my blog , and discovered that Record Mirror used to publish a wide variety of charts in the 1980s (you may have known this; I did not!), many of which are scanned online, and PSB were prominent on several of them.

Job done, Neil.

Yes, that was what I was thinking - the reaction here has been perfect.

You lot... always finding Opportunities for a bad pun.

Charted way lower than the other reissues. Less copies sold or a particularly busy week? Not really... here's what I said a couple of days ago: They're at #28, 32, and 35 (in chronological order) on the midweek chart . The last batch were #25, 24, and 32, and entered the Friday chart at #65, 59, an...

They're at #28, 32, and 35 (in chronological order) on the midweek chart. The last batch were #25, 24, and 32, and entered the Friday chart at #65, 59, and 73.
