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.

As we enter 1989, hits with the same number of points are listed alphabetically by title.

What a pleasure to discover these threads finally, thank you CZB and all other contributors!
Some corrections to what CZB posted:

The Danish hit should actually read
MC EINAR - JUL DET COOL

Number 31 on the 5-8 January chart is wrong and should be
ROCKIP - THE BOXER (A)

Faccia Da Pirla is the name of the song so it should be
CHARLIE - FACCIA DA PIRLA

[cavefan]

I'd actually be willing to try to complete country details for each chart, at least for the period from 1989 on, but how should I do best? Quote every of your charts and complete it in bold is the easiest way I think, but there's risk that the thread gets a bit hard to read with most charts double-posted.
And of course, as you said, this will take some time too, but that shouldn't be the problem...

What I'd suggest, if you're agreeable:

1983-1988 - I think I have most of the country details, occasional corrections could be posted on the threads as above and I'll edit them in.

1989-1991 - maybe you could just send me missing country details by pm and I could edit them in?

1992-1994 - there comes a point, very soon in which my notes become very incomplete. Perhaps you could then take over posting the weekly charts on that thread?

I think that's a good idea, I will try to send you the country details for the first charts of 1989 and 1992 you have posted this evening, as I'm on the point of leaving now. Actually I'm not sure if I'll always be able to keep up with your rhythm of posting the charts but I think the country details can still be added later on.

1992-1994 - there comes a point, very soon in which my notes become very incomplete. Perhaps you could then take over posting the weekly charts on that thread?

I'm willing to do this, even though my info is also not always complete for 1992 (for 1993 however it should be). But combined with your info (even though incomplete as well), it should be possible to get most of the 1992 charts right.

Very late additional note:

I have just corrected the "weeks on chart" for the Glenn Medeiros hit, and discovered for the first time that it spent a total of 41 weeks in the Europarade - only beaten by six other hits!!

[cavefan]

I'm not convinced I have the correct spelling of the new Danish entry at number 39 this week!

You're almost right! It's Michael Meyerheim with Lykkehjulet.

[CZB]

You're almost right! It's Michael Meyerheim with Lykkehjulet.

Thanks - now amended for this and your additional country details.

Some years later, the video for Barbarella's "We Cheer You Up", previously virtually unknown in the UK, became very popular on the "Lifestyle Satellite Jukebox" channel

[cavefan]

"In the Air Tonight" had spent four weeks in the chart in 1988, but probably also a few in 1981!

Yes, but strictly speaking they're not the same, as this was the '88 remix.

Anyway, the Germans really seemed to love this song, as the original version made number 1 there in 1981, and the remix first went top 5 in September 88, and then re-entered at Number 3 half a year later, without any obvious reason!

We discussed on the German charts thread a while ago why it made a somewhat strange/unexpected disappearance in 1988.......

I think, as well as all of these chart-runs, it also reappeared with another track as a double-a-side at some point?

I suppose if those gorilla adverts ever run in Germany, it'll be back yet again!

[cavefan]

I didn't actually know that the remix was only an import at the beginning.

It's strange enough that it was officially issued that late after its UK-release, especially given the artist's and the original version's popularity in Germany.

I can't think of any double-a-side-release of it however.

[CZB]

I can't think of any double-a-side-release of it however.

I wondered if I was mis-remembering.......but I've found it now. It was coupled with "No Matter Who" in early 1997 ( 71 74 70 70 70 69 70 73 80 ).

Very consistent - albeit not very high - sales throughout most of the nine weeks it was allowed to remain in the German chart before becoming one of the earliest victims of the newly-created exclusion rules!

9th - 12th March 1989
I have no number 21 written down for this week - stand-in Metro Radio presenter Tim Smith played the nunber 22 before a break, the number 20 after a break, and didn't mention what was in between them! Anyone?

The number 21 is
SAMANTHA FOX - I ONLY WANNA BE WITH YOU (B/NL)
According to some of my earliest notes from SR1, it didn't reenter (but actually climbed) the following week.

According to some of my earliest notes from SR1, it didn't reenter (but actually climbed) the following week.

Thanks - that was originally almost my guess back at the time, but I realised it had taken a dive in Ireland, and I didn't know it had charted in Belgium. I didn't have any "last week" position from Metro Radio the following week either. I have now amended this, and added in your country details to yeaterday's post.

I never realised that Edelweiss reached number one in Denmark!

It was indeed number 1 for no less than 4 weeks there...

Madonna remains at number one, now top 15 in all eleven countries.


Thanks to cavefan for the country details, now added, and - for the last week - for some of the individual chart positions, to which I've now added quite a few more!

[cavefan]

I'm not sure what this week's Danish new entry is. What I've included may be the title, the artist, both, or neither!!

It's HOBO-EKSPRESSEN - EN AT BLI' SOM

It was a charity single, actually a Danish-language version of the Traveling Wilburys' "Handle with Care" hit from a few months earlier (which had also made the Danish top 10).
