More recently known as the Euro Hit 40, the Europarade was a chart combining the weekly charts of various European countries into a single countdown. It was first compiled and aired in May 1976, and was broadcasted weekly on a variety of AM/FM radio stations around the continent until the beginning of 1994. The main weekly shows were those of TROS-Radio on Hilversum 3, and on SR-1 Europawelle - the former were the original compilers, but by the end of this period, responsibility had shifted to the latter - and the charts and other details which are now going to be presented in a series of these threads, each covering a three-year period, are primarily from notes made while listening to these broadcasts, and others, during these years.

Changes in the basis of compilation - and indeed the presentation of the weekly programmes - will be mentioned at appropriate points of the various threads. However, the main raw material for the chart was the top fifteen positions of each major country's weekly singles chart, combined on a points system. Each chart-topper received 15 points, each number two received 14 points, and so on down to each number 15 receiving 1 point.

Initially, only six countries were combined into the Europarade - Belgium, France, Germany, Netherlands, Spain and the UK. During 1979, Denmark and Italy were added; during 1980, Austria and Switzerland; and in 1983 Ireland was added. From that point on (and, therefore, the majority of the period covered here) the Europarade was a top 40 chart based on the charts of these eleven countries. 1983 was also the year in which the length of the chart was increased from a top 30 to a top 40.

I will try to update at least a couple of these threads with a couple of weeks each day if possible - but there is some incompleteness/uncertainty in the notes, so corrections and other observations will be very gratefully received. For at least part of this period, virtually all the constituent charts are now accessible in various places, so it may be possible to completely analyse the occasional chart into its points totals from each and every country - but to do this for every chart would involve far too much extra work. However, as some of the Europarade presenters used to mention every country in which each hit was charting, those details will usually accompany the weekly charts on these threads.


The first chart on this thread was, as far as we are aware, never broadcast. At the end of the 1985 thread, attempts were made to establish the four missing positions not revealed in the "last week" positions of the next week's chart - numbers 29, 32, 33 and 36. While it seems certain that the number 36 was Joy, the other three are more doubtful, and shown here are best guesses:

I can remember listening to the Europarade chart on a Sunday afternoon back in 1979-1982 from an AM station broadcasting from Hilversum in Holland (it may have been on 675khz, the frequency recently abandoned by Arrow Classic Rock) . After the chart had been counted down the station then used to play the new Billboard top 10, which in those distant pre-internet days was the only way I could get to hear or see the new chart before I bought Record Mirror a few days later which carried the US chart.

The signal was always terrible though, not brilliant to start with and often prone to fading. I only really tuned in for that Billboard top 10 chart though, so only really listened to the end of the Europarade chart countdown.

I heared the show too,on hilversum 3 !
on a big old radio with terrible sound !
in this time hilversum 3 was my popradio nr.1 because the wdr was soo terrible with new music !

I mentioned some of this at the beginning of the 1983 thread - yes, I think that was the frequency.

On one of the chart shows this week "So Far Away" was played instead of "Walk of Life" - but the latter is definitely the Dire Straits track which should be at number 24.

From the points totals of the individual countries - which I've noted for the seven of the eleven national charts I have available for this week - it is clear that the Irish chart used is one week more up-to-date than previously. One of the hits that lost out from this was "Living In America", which would have been a few places higher with a #8 placing, and 8 points, from Ireland. As it is, it can be seen that this scored more points from being at #1 in Belgium than from the rest of Europe put together, with a handful of other chart positions in the #13-#15 range!

By the way, CZB, could it be your mailbox is full, because the mail I sent you with country details for 1989 is still in my outbox?

This one is ROCAZINO - RIDDER LYKKE

Thanks - amended now.

By the way, CZB, could it be your mailbox is full, because the mail I sent you with country details for 1989 is still in my outbox?

No, it's showing 37% full at present. I think the mail remains in the outbox until the recipient collects it - then it moves to the sentbox.

The only curious thing is that I normally get an automatic e-mail to say a message is there - in this instance, I didn't! But I have just collected your message, and will now make the corrections on the other thread!

[Hans]

CBZ,

On this link http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php? ... ns&thumb=4 you can see a scan of the chart of 11th Januari 1986. That gives you all an idea of my material and the extra listing of the Eurobusters.

In this way you can correct and complete the charts of 4 and 11 Januari. Modern Talking should be number 23 and not 32 on 4 Januari 1986. You can also see all the countries on each position.

Greetings,
Hans

Many thanks - I've amended and corrected the earlier post now.

I notice that there is one Eurobuster from each country, except Austria - and presumably this is not a coincidence? It's interesting that the Irish Eurobuster was the future chart-topper from Dermot Morgan - presumably this was based on the Irish chart for the next week (the one included in the Europarade of 18th January) in which his record was a new entry at number 12. It then climbed straight to number one the following week, anc accordingly made its entry in the Europarade of 25th January.

If the Eurobusters were the ten highest-ranked hits from one of the national charts of the next week not already in the Europarade (could each one only be listed once?), perhaps some of them must have occasionally come from some way down the national charts, below the top 15?

[cavefan]

perhaps some of them must have occasionally come from some way down the national charts, below the top 15?

The Bonnie Tyler song which is quoted here as Eurobuster from Switzerland only peaked there at 24. If each of the Eurobusters really comes from a different country (maybe Hans can confirm this?) then it's almost inevitable that some are from outside the national top 15's.

36 ---- 01 BJORN TIDMAND - FREE WILD BIRDS (DK13)

I don't know if an English version of this existed but in the Danish charts, this was quoted as:
BJORN TIDMAND - TRE HVIDE DUER

I noticed that several times, the Dutch magazine Hitkrant (from which I got my Europarades of that period) published English titles for hits from Denmark, although obviously they charted in their native language there. I ignore the reason of this.

I wonder if that means the translation should have been THREE wild birds.......?

While a comical version of Falco's current hit now joins it in the Europarade, Jennifer Rush does something more unusual - she has different versions of the same song occupying two places in the same chart!

[Hans]

perhaps some of them must have occasionally come from some way down the national charts, below the top 15?

The Bonnie Tyler song which is quoted here as Eurobuster from Switzerland only peaked there at 24. If each of the Eurobusters really comes from a different country (maybe Hans can confirm this?) then it's almost inevitable that some are from outside the national top 15's.

Underneath the chart of 8th April 1984 (first time with 40 singles) the coming of a chartbuster was mentioned. I quote "A song we're sure will crack the charts all over the continent.".
The first Eurobusters are below the Europarade of 15th April 1984. It's a list of 10 singles out of 11 countries, so one of them is always missing. I can't find a system in rotating the countries. I don't have individual charts of the participating countries. I shall try to get an answer from Hilversum.

Very unusually, three of Europe's top six this week are charting in just three countries, and two other hits make the top ten by charting in only two each! And, as there are several other hits also scoring well in two or three countries, those that have just one number one placing, and nothing else anywhere, are much lower down than normally - three of them end up below the top 30!

Thanks - I knew the Danish title, and that it was their Eurovision entry, but I listed the English title as that was the version Metro Radio played! I suspected that the Danes might really have been buying it in their own language, and have now updated the posting to reflect this.

Well, I'd completely forgotten this - but according to my notes two Eurobusters - described as such! - were played by Metro Radio this week. They were by Laid Back and David Bowie.

"Sail Away", presumably an English version of Gold's "Capitaine Abandonne", was played on one of the radio shows this week.

The English version of Sandra Kim's Eurovision winner is a new entry at number 9 in Austria this week, and those 7 points would appear to have been added to those gained by the original French version, already charting elsewhere.......

In the previous two weeks, Self Aid was "a special number one" in Ireland, ahead of first "On My Own", then "The Chicken Song". For the Europarade, it did not receive any points in either of these weeks. It then "fell" into the Irish chart for one week at number two - hence its new entry in the Europarade with 14 points this week - only to then drop right out of the top 30 a week later, giving rise to speculation as to whether it really had been the massive seller worthy of this status!
