Sorry, Parkol, I live in Germany. Migrants do not "constantly attack residents". This is AfD or far-right disinformation. There are attacks involving migrants - just as there are many more "attacks" involving "residents" on other "residents". But the idea that migrants are "constantly" attacking ...

Yes it is. Damals und Heute is Then and Now - which was the Imagine doc's subtitle if I remember correctly.

Yeah, unlike Discography, Ultimate has the six megahits. Sadly, it falls down after that by omitting the wry five, Opportunities, Rent, Can you forgive her?, So hard, and Drunk. For me, that makes it unlistenable and contemptuously incomplete. Without those, Ultimate loses too much of their genius ...

I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing missed out on two chart positions by a total of four panel sales on its second week in 1993. It landed at 13, but would have been number 12 (above M People's Don't Look Any Further) if it sold 31 more copies - or number 11 (above Meatloaf) if it sold 61 more ...

Thanks, Drico, I'm finding this thread so fascinating.

Beyond a vague idea that only some shops counted towards the charts when I was growing up, I didn't really understand exactly how the panel system worked until now. I'm guessing the locations of the shops was a closely guarded secret to avoid ...

There can only be one test:

Did you, or did you not, buy that tea set?

QED

Just for completion, Go West fell to number 7 on its fourth week with panel sales of 1,568 - higher than Can you forgive her?'s debut week. The following week, it dropped three to 10, with panel sales of 999. It had 140,475 actual sales by the end of Q3, 1993 (so, the end of September). Can you ...

Go West's third week was the sixth-biggest in their history, selling pretty much exactly the same as Suburbia did. Previous pages updated.


Thoughts on where it might land in the TOTAL Estimated Retail Sales (Units) list?

I recently read that Go West sold over 200,000 in the UK. I'm plumping ...

I wouldn't say I'm a hardcore Pethead - I'm not a completist, rarely buy merchandise, and wouldn't approach them if I saw them walking down the street - but I'll happily pay a small fortune to see them every 18 months if they turn up in my city.

Besides, with the best will in the world, one PSB ...

I'm not surprised they are continuing with Dreamworld. It's an easy and the smart concept to promote as an active heritage band: a greatest hits spectacular.

The days of a tour like Performance are long gone. Now, it's as much nostalgia as art - and this is Champions League-level nostalgia, with ...

Go West's second week sales rose by only 2.4%, meaning that while that was enough to overtake Mr Vain, it fell short by 83 panel sales to Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. In plain English, it lost the number one spot to Boom Shake the Room by 1,245 actual sales.

This was, therefore, the week they ...

To quote Alanis Morisette, it's a little ironic that three of their top four opening weeks were provided by cover versions. I have updated the figures on page 1.

First week sales for Go West have been confirmed. It had 2,880 panel sales - by far the biggest opening week of any of their singles.

Yet, it still sold 12,600 units fewer than Culture Beat's Mr Vain which had about 3,718 panel sales. In other words, it's a myth that Go West was going to go in at ...

So these are still running and we're now up to 1997. A Red Letter Day should have been on this evening but the R Kelly episodes are not being shown so the BBC4 audience misses the opportunity to see Chris in that weird chair and speculate on his health.

I wasn't a regular TOTP viewer by this ...
