Subject: Andy Gibb chart help
Written By: robby76 on 07/02/05 at 10:16 pm
Does anyone know what chart positions Andy's albums got to in both the UK and the US? And if you have time the singles charts for the UK only. I found the US ones on the net. Thanks!

Not sure about the US albums, but can do the UK data...
He didn't have much of a chart career here, so this won't take long...!

I Just Wanna Be Your Everything - #26/7w (25 June 1977)

Wow that's a shock... I always thought he did well in England. He seems to be pretty popular in the rest of the world though, but I suppose it's where you do your promotion. Thanks for that Paul, appreciate it.

Very surprising, but we were getting the 'punk' movement into and out of our systems at the time - so I don't really think we were ready for another teen heart-throb...!
Robby seems to think it was the promotion that did it...possibly, but Andy (like his brothers) was managed by Robert Stigwood, who was one of the finest agents in the business at the time - well, y'can't win 'em all...
In any event, we missed out on some fine tunes by the man...

Andy was different from the other teen heart throbs in my opinion... musically anyway... people like Shaun Cassidy were awful and Leif Garrett I'm not too sure about. But Andy's music (though mostly written with Barry) had a lot more substance. Oh well I guess you can't force it down people's throat... especially not 30 yrs on... ha ha! I've just completed his cd collection - only 5 in all - but some songs really stand the test of time, worth checking out if you have some pounds or dollars to spare.
And thanks for the info on the chart positions!

That's more like it! ;D Way to go Canada!
I personally think Andy's finest moment was with After Dark in 1980 - but that album suffered from poor single choices.

Well, you didn't ask for it...but here's some info on Dutch Top 40.
1977 - I Just Want To Be Your Everything
1978 - (Love Is) Thicker Than Water
1978 - Shadow Dancing
1978 - An Everlasting Love
1979 - (Ourr Love) Don't Throw It All Away
1980 - Desire
1980 - I Cant Help It (with Olivia Newton John)
means it got stuck in bubbling under section, somewhere between #41 and 70.
None of his albums made it to Dutch Album Top 100...
