UK Rock/Metal Charts (1980s and early '90s)

[Blondini]

^ also, curious that Kerrang! initially didn't include Cher.
Are we close to the chart compilation changeover?

[Metalweb]

^

Not really! The chart actually shrinks to a Top 20 later in '88 before expanding to a Top 40 in '90.

[Blondini]

The Stranglers?

Gets odder! They're barely even punk, never mind rock/metal.

[Metalweb]

^

Indeed...

[andrej]

The Stranglers?

Gets odder! They're barely even punk, never mind rock/metal.

At least, they are far more rock acts than all those Heart, Starship, Bryan Adams, and Cher. Generally, I find these charts rockier and heavier than those of 1985-87...

[Blondini]

I wouldn't include Starship at all. Cher was included because she shared songwriting/production team with Bon Jovi (Desmond Child).

[Blondini]

I think The Who have more right to be there than many that are in that chart. Wouldn't extend that to the solo members, though.
Ignoring Faith No More is shoddy, though.

[Metalweb]

Yeah, just seems weird to see a 20+ year old re-release included....

[andrej]

Heaven Knows has been the first really noticeable Plant's song for many years since Big Log. Great video and Jimmy played the solo on the song.

No.1 magazine no longer publishing the MRIB chart....

[Robbie]

Did No. 1 magazine mention why the Rock Chart was being dropped? Was the Rock Chart the only chart dropped or did the magazine stop publishing other charts too?

Checking back it seems the HM singles chart was the only one dropped - replaced by a dance albums chart!

As far as I can see, they don't say why!
