UK Top 40 Singles Chart for Sunday 27th September 1992

So this was the chart that Radio 1 DJ Bruno Brookes broadcast from 4pm-7pm with data from the GALLUP computer based on record sales from Monday 21st to Saturday 26th September 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 thirteen new entrys, one re-entry, eight climbers and four non-movers! And it was announced like this…

40. Innocence – “One Love In My Lifetime”
We kick off with a new entry this week and another new song from Innocence, the second to come from their forthcoming second studio album, which is out very soon.

39. Salt’N’Pepa – “Start Me Up”
Also back with a new song are Salt’N’Pepa and their second new entry of 1992 with the follow up to “Expression”. This one comes from the soundtrack of a new film called ‘Stay Tuned’.

38. GSP – “The Banana Song”
GSP are producers Ian Gallivan and Justin Stride who have taken the theme tune to the classic children’s TV series The Banana Splits to produce the another ‘reinvented’ dance tune!

37. The Sex Pistols – “Anarchy In The UK”
Coming back to the top 40 for the first time in twelve years are The Sex Pistols and they do it with a re-release of their debut single from November 1976, which got to No.33 then. Only another four places to go next week to match that…

36. Catherine Zeta Jones – “For All Time”
We all know actress Catherine Zeta Jones from the TV series The Darling Buds Of May but now she has a go at pop success as this is her debut single and it gives her a new entry on the music charts this week.

35. Crystal Waters and Sabrina Johnston – “Gypsy Woman/Peace”
Making a return to the UK top 40 with a remix and mixed version of their chart hits from last year are Crystal Waters and Sabrina Johnston, and for Crystal, this is the third time her debut single has made the top 40 in different guises!

34. C&C Music Factory – “Keep It Comin'”
C&C Music Factory enjoyed a number of top ten hits here in 1991 and they have continued to pour out the dance hits this year. This is the latest and it gives them a third top 40 entry.

33. Vegas – “Possessed”
Vegas, as you will remember, is the new duo formed for Dave Stewart and Terry Hall and they landed their first single on the chart seven days ago. Sadly, they drop back one place in week two.

32. Patty Smyth and Don Henley – “Sometimes Love Just Ain’t Enough”
Next up is a new entry from American singers Patty Smyth and Don Henley, who had a big hit back in 1984 with “The Boys Of Summer”. This duet is already top ten in America and also marks Patty’s very first appearance on the UK top 40!

31. Bryan Adams – “Do I Have To The Words?”
Bryan Adams brought his sixth single from his “Waking Up The Neighbours” album to the UK chart last week, but like Vegas, he slips one place in his second.

30. Felix – “Don’t You Want Me?”
We may still want Felix‘s hugely infectious dance anthem from this Summer, but he is no longer wanted in the upper half of the chart as his debut release falls eleven places.

29. Annie Lennox – “Walking On Broken Glass”
The same goes for Annie Lennox as she walks away from all the broken glass and also the top twenty as she too goes down eleven places.

22. Doctor Spin – “Tetris”
We’ve had a wave of children’s TV show themes land on the top 40 for some time, now it’s computer games and the latest craze of matching the coloured blocks together. This produces a new entry for ‘Doctor Spin’ who are none other than composer Andrew Lloyd-Webber and producer Nigel Wright, who has previously had chart hits under the name of Mirage and the UK Mixmasters!

21. Pearl Jam – “Jeremy”
