Stonesthrow Soldatti-- Your post on #1 songs and albums, while interesting, has information that conflicts with information I have. What is the source of your information? I referred to the book, The Rock 'n' Roll Years edited by David Heslam (1990). It indicates its US chart material is from Billboard Magazine, and it credited New Music Express (NME) for access to archive material presumably for UK information. The following are areas where your information and mine conflict:

1. It's All Over Now did not appear to be #1 even in UK. A Hard Day's Night was #1 in UK for the last 2 weeks of July and the first 3 weeks of August 1964.

2. Little Red Rooster did not appear to be #1 even in UK. I Feel Fine was #1 in UK all through December 1964.

3. The album No. 2 was #1 in UK for 13 consecutive weeks between January and April 1965 with no breaks in between.

4. The Last Time was #1 in UK for 4 weeks in March and April 1965-- not 3 weeks.

5. Satisfaction was #1 in UK for 3, not 2, weeks in September of 1965.

6. Aftermath was #1 in UK for 9, not 8, weeks from the last week of April 1966 through the end of June 1966.

7. Let It Bleed was never #1 in UK. Abbey Road was #1 from October 1969 through January 1970.

8. Get Your Ya-Yas Out was never #1, even in UK. A Question Of Balance and Bridge Over Troubled Water were the #1 albums in UK during September 1970.

9. Sticky Fingers was #1 in UK for 8, not 5, weeks from 2nd week of May through June 1971.

10.Exile On Main Street was #1 in UK for the last 2, not 1, weeks of June 1972.

11.Emotional Rescue album was #1 in UK for only 1 week-- the third week of July 1980.

12.Dancing In the Street was #1 in UK for 3, not 4, weeks
in September of 1985.

Otherwise, my information pretty much agrees with yours.

Soldatti Your information is complete wrong, this list is the oficial for the Billboard Hot 200 Charts and in England many numbers are wrong (19th Nervous Breakdown is listing at No.1, but only got the No.2 (by 3 weeks).

I got the entire list of all the songs and albums what enter in the UK and US since 1963 to now.

I can said: the 90% of the books with the hits are complete wrong. I spend one year searching the TRUE information and is in the list posted before.

Soldatti Anybody got doubts still?, well in this links everybody can confirm the dates:

UK dates:
http://uk10chs.tripod.com/UKCHS.HTM

USA dates:
http://members.tripod.com/~chart98a/US/USCHS.HTM

Note: From the year 1994 the list is expanded at the Top 10.
The Voodoo Lounge album is the most succesfull because Stripped and Bridges To Babylon only stayed one week in the Top 10. Here is the week by week what figure in the list:

Voodoo Lounge
UK -- 1-2-4-4-6
USA -- 2-6-8-7-9

Stripped
UK -- 9 (droped at #24 in the second week)
USA -- 9 (droped at #19 in the second week)

Bridges To Babylon
UK -- 6 (droped at #13 in the second week)
USA -- 3 (droped at #11 in the second week)

Gazza Up until about 20 years or so ago,there was never one DEFINITIVE UK chart - which might explain the disagreements. for example,its generally believed that "from me to you" was the first beatles #1 in the UK,whereas its predecessor "please please me" actually topped some of the "lesser established" charts.

The one that was always used by the BBC for their chart rundown plus "top of the pops" etc. was compiled by the British Market research Bureau and often differed from charts such as the NME one. Only around the 80's/late 70's did they agree on an official national chart,which at the time was compiled by Gallup (the company that runs opinion polls etc)

The first Stones #1 in the UK was "Its all over now" and was generally recognised as such. "Little Red Rooster" also was a number 1 in the UK charts. It is,to this day the only blues record ever to reach #1 in the UK, part of the reason why this feat was so memorable to fans of that particular style of music.


On June 16, 2001 the hit counter of the WET page was inserted here, it had 174,489 hits. Now the hit counter is for both the page and the board. The hit counter of the ITW board had 1,127,645 hits when it was closed and the Coolboard didn't have hit counter but was on line only two months and a half.
