UK Top 40 Singles Chart for Sunday 28th March 1993

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 22nd to Saturday 27th March 1993.

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, six climbers and two non-movers! And it was announced like this…

40. Van Halen – “Jump” (Live)
Van Halen scored their first UK top 40 hit of the 90’s with the live version of their best known song here last week, but seven days on, it drops fourteen places.

39. Suede – “Animal Nitrate”
Five weeks on and Suede are stepping perilously close to the edge as their biggest hit yet goes down sixteen places.

38. The Almighty – “Addiction”
Scottish band The Almighty are back for 1993 with a brand new album coming. This is the lead single and our first new entry this week.

37. Right Said Fred – “Stick It Out”

36. Chris Isaak – “Can’t Do A Thing (To Stop Me)”
We welcome Chris Isaak back to the UK top 40 this week with a new entry. He has a new album on the way and this is the lead single from it.
