649 15 Sep The Joker Steve Miller Band 2
    For the week ending 15 September 1990, two records - The Joker by Steve Miller Band
and
Groove Is In The Heart by Deee-Lite - tied on panel sales and The Joker was awarded
the number one position becuase its sales had increased more from the previous week.
It was subsequently announced that
The Joker had sold eight more copies than Groove
that week, though eight copies across the whole country is hardly the sort of margin that
one could have much confidence in. Anyway, by the chart rules in force at the time, The
Joker got the top spot and Deee-Lite had to be content with number two. So near, yet so
far away.
