M10 show week # 141

 

Elvis:  What're we doing up so early fer?

Well, the car had to be dropped at the shop today, so I took a day off, and Laurie's back-issuing Restoring Galveston, so there's no time like right now...

Yeah, ta sleep in...

But we have two weeks to let everyone know about!  Last week's lone debut was at #10, and it is somewhat new from Beabadoobee...

*************************************************************

And the rest of last week went like this:

For a third week at #9, The Tragically Hip and Wait So Long...

Dropping 3 to 8, Linkin Park and The Emptiness Machine...

Up one to 7, Matt Berry and I Gotta Limit....

Up 4 big to 6, Nothing More and Jenny...

Slipping one to 5, Geowulf and Nightmare...

Up 3 to #4, Lucinda Williams and While My Guitar Gently Weeps...

Out of the top spot, Linkin Park at 3 with Heavy Is The Crown...

Make that, Heavy WAS the crown, haw!

Honeycutters hold at 2 with Jukebox...

And a new #1- 

...Leon Bridges and That's What I Love!

Okay, so let's hit THIS week's first debut while I gather the feature year info!  I have been trying to shove this one into the top ten since the end of August, and I have finally succeeded!  Here is Phantogram at # 10....

****************************************************

So this week we go to 1984, and our 5 biggest movers in the top 40 are- 

5 (tie)- 7 spots from 16 to 9 for Sheena Easton's Strut- peaking 4 here, 8 Canada, 13 Australia.

         - 7 spots from 31 to 24 for the Honeydrippers and Sea Of Love- At least one Canadian chart had it peak at 2, it hit 3 here, and 5 in Australia.

4- 8 spots to 34 for Duran Duran and The Wild Boys- a chart topper on Cashbox, 3 in Australia, 2 in Canada.

3- Up 10 to 22 for New Edition and Cool It Now- a #2 here, but only 38 in Canada (where they didn't need it any more cooled down, I guess), and non-existent in Australia.

2- 11 spots to 38 for Julian Lennon's Valotte- it topped off at 9 here and in Canada, 75 in Australia.  Unlike the last one, this is a song worth Australians to check out.

And our biggest mover this week:

Oops!  'Pat B' was pat Boone...

...Pat Benatar and We Belong, up 12 to 28!  5 here, 7 Australia, 8 Canada.  My favorite on the top 40 this week... Probably Huey Lewis and the News, Walking On A Thin Line at 32.  That was 23 here, 70 in Australia, 40 Canada (Not surprising it was bigger here, being a Vietnam song).

Um, better get yer other debut in...

Yep, and while I get that together, here's our other M10 debut- the lovely Ms Amira Elfecky....

**********************************************************

The #1s this week in '84- it was Prince and Purple Rain here...  a song that hit 3 in both Australia and Canada.  In Canada, it was Wham! and Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go, a #1 across the board; and in Australia this week, it was Stevie Wonder's I Just Called To Say I Love You, also an across the board #1.

And that leaves us this week's chart!

The Tragically Hip finally move, from 9 to 8 with Wait So Long...

Beabadoobee moves to 7 with The Perfect Pair...

Matt Berry up one with I Gotta Limit at 6...

5 is where the Honeycutters tumble to with Jukebox...

4 and up 2 for Nothing More and Jenny...

3 and holding for Linkin Park, Heavy Is The Crown...

2 and up 2 for Lucinda Williams and While My Guitar Gently Weeps...

And Leon Bridges holds the top spot with That's What I Love!

What, no new picture?

At this point, I'm afraid I'd post Lloyd Bridges....
