UK Top 40 Singles Chart for Sunday 26th January 1992

So this was the chart that Radio 1 DJ Mark Goodier broadcast from 4:30-7pm with data from the GALLUP computer based on record sales from Monday 20th to Saturday 25th January 1992.

This is how the charts USED to look with new entries, climbers and non-movers, all based solely on record purchases.
This week, thirty years ago, there were eight new entrys, eleven climbers and two non-movers! And it was announced like this…

40. Marc Almond – “My Hand Over My Heart”
Marc Almond was hoping for some good news this week with his newest single hitting the top 40 seven days ago. Sadly, the song actually drops seven places in week two!

39. Ronny Jordan – “So What”
British guitarist Ronny Jordan joins the UK top 40 this week for the very first time and with his debut single, which will feature on his very first album, that is due out in a few months time.

38. Lisa Stansfield – “All Woman”

Ray and Anita asked us if we were all ready for this with their last song and with a climb of six places, they mean business once again. But can they take this song that one place higher than their last?

2. Kylie Minogue – “Give Me Just A Little More Time”
Back in 1970. Chairmen Of The Board took their original of this song to No.3 here in the UK. Twenty one years on and Kylie betters that, as last week’s highest new entry goes up three places, which also gives Kylie her highest charting single for nearly two years!
