EMI have informed us that "She's Madonna" is receiving a lot of airplay on radio stations around the world and is number 9 this week on the pan-Euro Top 100. Radio chart positions in European countries include Austria (4), Belgium (2), Denmark (6), Finland (1), Germany (3), Italy (9), Holland (5), Switzerland (5), Sweden (3).

In countries where singles are still released commercially, "She's Madonna" is currently charting in Italy (3), Austria (15), Holland (5), Switzerland (8 ) and Sweden (31).

It's not bad, isn't it?

In Germany it's #4.

Robbie's hardly unique in this. You could say exactly the same about dozens of pop stars.

But in Robbie those feelings are so extreme, that they make him a malfunctioning human being.

Tell us something we don't know!

Something in my mind says to me that this single will go up.

If only Top Of The Pops was still running.

Oh, be prepared for an announcement later in the year.

Interesting, although if it came back it should be with a different format. I always liked the format of the old ITV Chart Show - except when they only played a snippet of a track I liked and then one I didn't like in its entirety.

The Chart Show was the perfect, erm, chart show. No brainless bimbo presenters, no wall-to-wall Westlife and it always played a wide variety of music, ie: the likes of Ned's Atomic Dustbin on the Indie chart. It did make a semi-comeback on Channel 4 in the mornings a year or so ago but I think they were only half-hour programmes. Still, I live in hope of the only truly democratic chart show returning one day in the future.

Agreed. Best UK music show ever. I used to love the trivia that they put onscreen over the instrumental part of the song.

Well, his single with PSB may have been a UK flop by his standards but at least Robbie can console himself with some really great news....

This topic is now the biggest, most viewed and most replied-to on-topic thread in the history of this beloved forum. I bet he'll sleep better now. Who needs rehab to come off anti-depressants when you have real life achievements like that to big up yourself with, eh boy? lol:

Sorry to be such a geek, but according to the "statistics" link, this thread is the 2nd most viewed thread and the 12th most replied to thread.... I think Robbie's going to go back into rehab now.

Strangely, it says it's the top in both if you're not logged in, but then it changes if you look at 'Statistics' when you ARE logged in.

Oh, I see. That seems to be because when you're logged in you get to see the "off-topic" forum which has more popular threads than the PSB part of the forum.

I simply fail to understand the official Dutch charts anymore, but something VERY suprising happened..

In the Mega Top 50, after peaking a #4, She's Madonna stayed there for one week, then fell down to #5 and the next week to #7.

Believe it or not, but this week, the song CLIMBS from #7 to #2.

So, to summarize things: She's Madonna reached #2 in both relevant Dutch singles charts now. In the other one, the Top 40, it's currently at #4.

Since when have the charts and their attendant shows been democratic?
