11 10 03 A Letter To You Shakin' Stevens 34,000

The UK has two new million selling singles to add to the list this week, and it was the current No 1 single from Stevie Wonder who managed it first. “I Just Called To Say I Love You” tops the chart for a fourth week and is still showing little sign of fatigue moving 186,000 copies across the counter that makes its total a cool 1,042,000. It is being touted as Motown’s first million seller in the UK making that 18 year wait all worthwhile for Wonder, the album holds at No 2 this week meaning he is denied a double for another 7 days at least.

Following suit as Saturday came around was Mr George Michael whose “Careless Whisper” slumps 3-5 (74,000) to end the week on 1,009,000 as it is overtaken by Wonder. Wham!’s next single is released in just a fortnight called “Freedom” with the album “Make It Big” currently scheduled for November which will house all George Michael’s hits of the year in whatever guise.

Whatever knocks Wonder off the top it probably won’t be Ray Parker Jr, “Ghostbusters” holds at No 2 but sales are off 24% to 85,000. A real scrap emerged for the No 3 position with positions 3-5 all ending up well within 3,000 of each other, U2 continue to press hard moving 4-3 (76,000) whilst Sister Sledge rocket 7-4 (74,000) to pip George Michael.

David Bowie’s 16th album “Tonight” arrives in shops this week, and unless you’ve been nowhere near a TV or radio over the last few weeks you’ll be fully aware of the fact and heard lead single “Blue Jean”. Julien Temple has produced a full 21 promo for the song entitled “Jazzin for Blue Jean” which was aired on Channel 4 earlier this month and the track becomes his 20th top 10 single shooting 17-6 (49,000) in its second week.

Bronski Beat are back with a second single, and would you believe it, a second top 10 hit. “Why” takes a more direct angle on the subject of homosexuality and finds itself a more immediate hit with the UK public as it ascends 22-7 (44,000), the group seem to have no trouble making the charts with songs which only a few years ago would have struggled to make any impact at radio or on TOTP. The test as to whether they can sell any albums or not will come in a few weeks when “Age Of Consent” goes on sale.

“A Letter To You” was written by Dennis Linde, a name you might not know but you should be familiar with his work having penned “Burning Love” for Elvis Presley and is a big star on the country circuit. He’s now penned a hit for Shakin Stevens who releases his “Greatest Hits” in time for Christmas, the single is now his 11th top 10 single of the 80s bringing him nearer the record 14 which is held by Madness who have struggled this year. “A Letter To You” can only float 11-10 (34,000) to make the important step.

Two fallers to round it off, Black Lace drop 5-8 (42,000) as it sells its half millionth copy, and Alphaville drift 8-9 (38,000), finally next week will see the debut of the new Culture Club record, expect it near the top but can it enter at No 1?
