Did he do Summer Of '69?? You're thinking of Bryan Adams. Bruce Springsteen was in fact best known for singing "Baby One More Time". I just wanna say I prefer the Pet Shop Boys, with the The. I mean do you call the Beatles just beatles? I don't want to say I'm really into boys, I'm into a...

Seems it’s time for another Bobby O cash-in again. Just wish more of the original material got released instead, like that unfinished album or at least the 25-minute jam of the song Pet Shop Boys? How much influence does/did Bobby O actually have over all the reissues of West End girls? The vast ma...

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

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. I figured I'd share, as I found this pretty inter...

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.
