Re: [total-madness] My Girl at No.1 ?

Hi Lars!           They both are!! The NME has always run its own version of the charts, using largely independent stores, or catering for independent labels. The OFFICIAL charts are now done by MRIS and before that by Gallup via the BBC. As an example (and Dr Gardiner will correct me if I'm wrong, I'm sure :o] ), Erasure only officially had one number 1 in the official charts, but numerous in the Indie charts as they are on the Mute label which is indedpendent.   Simesy   ----- Original Message ----- From: Lars Vogelgesang To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 08 February 2001 16:31 Subject: [total-madness] My Girl at No.1 ? Hi there, Maddies! Recently I purchased a book called "Hit Records: British Chart Singles 1970-1990 Top 10", which presents the Top Ten according to "New Musical Express" and "Music Week" for each week between 1.1.1970 and 31.12.1990. Now my question: According to this book "My Girl" entered the British Top 10 on 19th January 1980 and reached No. 1 on 2nd February 1980. But according to the It's Madness-CD-Booklet "My Girl" hit only No.3 three weeks after having entered the charts. Now, who is right ? Bye for now, Lars ------------------------------------- Lars Vogelgesang [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.vogelgesang.xodox.de http://www.madnotmad.de http://www.munsters.de.st - ______________________________________________________________ Visit the Total Madness Mailing List website for: latest news, madmeet info, list charter, games, and more ... http://members.xoom.com/totalmadmail/ Contact the TMML Moderators at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and in the message body put: unsubscribe total-madness
