UK Top 40 Singles Chart for Sunday 15th March 1992

So this was the chart that Radio 1 DJ Bruno Brookes broadcast from 4:30-7pm with data from the GALLUP computer based on record sales from Monday 9th to Saturday 14th March 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 four non-movers! And it was announced like this…

40. 2 Unlimited – “Twilight Zone”
2 Unlimited survive a ninth week inside the top 40, just. Their second single falls eleven places, the first of a handful from the PWL label.

39. The Lightning Seeds – “The Life Of Riley”
The Lightning Seeds finally make a return to the top 40 this week with a new entry. They’ve only done it once so far, with their debut release, “Pure”, back in 1989.

38. RAF – “We’ve Got To Live Together”
Here comes a second PWL Continental release, this one is was a new entry last week and a chart debut for producer RAF, but seven days later, the song goes down four places.

6. Ce Ce Peniston – “Finally”
One place ahead of them is this week’s highest new entry…or should that be a re-entry? Ce Ce Peniston brings her first single from November last year back to the UK chart and much higher than she originally took this track five months ago!

5. Eric Clapton – “Tears In Heaven”
Last week’s highest climber was Eric Clapton with this new and very personal recording that comes from a live set he recently recorded with MTV. He takes it into the top ten this week with a climb of eight places.

4. The KLF – “America: What Time Is Love?”

Shanice swapped with The Temptations last week as the challenger for the number one spot this week, but like everyone else, she too finds it hard to go anywhere for a second week.

1. Shakespear’s Sister – “Stay”
And nor does the number one best seller from Shakespear’s Sister, which ‘stays’ at the top for a fifth week, unchallenged once more. But can Siobhan and Marcella manage a sixth or will Eric Clapton, Ce Ce Peniston or someone else break their run? There’s only one way to find out…
