UK Top 40 Singles Chart for Sunday 29th 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 23rd to Saturday 28th 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 ten new entrys, ten climbers and four non-movers! And it was announced like this…

40. Love/Hate – “Wasted In America”
US rock band, Love/Hate, formed in 1985 and released their first album two years ago. After a number of singles and a follow up, the group finally break the UK top 40 this week with our first new entry.

39. Tori Amos – “Winter”
Making her first appearance on the UK top 40 last week was singer Tori Amos. But seven days later, she fails to make good on her entry and takes a big fall of fourteen places.

38. Clivilles and Cole – “A Deeper Love”
Going down seventeen places this week are producers Clivilles and Cole with their second release of this year, less their Music Factory.

28. Curtis Stigers – “You’re All That Matters To Me”
Curtis Stigers hasn’t left it that long, only a few weeks since his first, “I Wonder Why”, left us. Now he’s back with the follow up and hoping for a second top ten hit at the very least.

27. Bruce Springsteen – “Human Touch”
Bruce Springsteen’s brand new song arrived three weeks ago but has struggled to move a muscle ever since. This week he does, but it’s down sixteen places.

26. The Pasadenas – “Make It With You”
The Pasadenas have one of the biggest hits of this year so far with their comeback and after a week’s gap, they are back with another cover, this time of a David Gates 1970 hit, which made No.5 here. So can The Pasadenas take it any higher…?

Dance act Praga Khan along with singer Jade 4 U make their UK chart debut this week with this rave/dance number, which is already top five on the dance chart.

24. Manic Street Preachers – “Slash’N’Burn”

23. Salt’N’Pepa – “Expression”
Meanwhile, Salt’N’Pepa arrived with their latest number last week as well, but seven days on, it fails to go anywhere at all, preferring to be a non-mover.

17. WASP – “Chainsaw Charlie”

15. The Temptations – “My Girl”
The Temptations came crashing out of the top ten last week with their classic tune from the new film of the same name and put the brakes on a bit as this week the song falls just two places.

Make sure to put an “X” next to his name! No, please do!!

11. Vanessa Williams – “Save The Best For Last”
American actress and singer Vanessa Williams finally reached the UK top 40 last week with this former US number one and she’s heading that way here now with an almighty leap of twenty five places, she is this week’s highest climber!

10. Shanice – “I Love Your Smile”

4. Right Said Fred – “Deeply Dippy”
The first two of Right Said Fred‘s singles both made the top three. Their third single stops short as it becomes a non-mover, nevertheless, giving the band three top five hits so far.
