2nd December 2017
It's a first week on top for the fab Amen, (Bucks) Fizz' best record since Heart Of Stone or New Beginnings, possibly since My Camera Never Lies! It's either their first number one (for the new bloke and the band under that name) or their 6th (for Cheryl and Mike) or a 5th (for Jay). Whatever, it's been a gap of 31 years between chart-toppers with new material, so that's pretty much up there with the longest gaps. David Cassidy drops to 2 with his classic 1972 UK chart-topper, but climbs to 5 with his 1973 gorgeous I'm A Clown, which peaked at 3 originally for me. Another late fave, Glen Campbell hits 4 with his version of Joni Mitchell's Both Sides Now. Glen's version is my fave version, though I love others too. I was 13 when I first loved it. I was 14 when I first loved Steely Dan's Do It Again, and 13 when I loved The Partridge Family's I Think I Love You. All my teen faves dying is so sad. Cola is top 10, better late than never, Craig David & Bastille jointly outdo their recent solo stuff for me, on a track that I shouldn't have liked on paper, but actually do! Best thing either has done in quite a while. Pet Shop Boys are in yet again, this time with a track I didn't know off their recharting Fundamental unreleased or obscure tracks, Fugitive at 30. Clean Bandit and Tame Impala have big climbs, Nick Jonas is back, one of the few new entries that is actually new, and 2 Xmas oldies sneak in as the tinsel appears everywhere! 1 3 2 5 AMEN The Fizz 540000 2 1 1 2 HOW CAN I BE SURE David Cassidy 285000 3 2 2 5 MYSTERY OF LOVE Sufjan Stevens 442000 4 13 4 17 BOTH SIDES NOW Glen Campbell 391000 5 10 5 2 I’M A CLOWN David Cassidy 102000 6 20 6 3 PHASES Alma & French Montana 92400 7 4 4 5 TIMEBOMBS HURRICANES Written By Wolves 216900 8 8 8 4 THE CALLING TheFatRat featuring Laura Brehm 151500 9 6 1 8 I LOVE YOU BUT I’M LOST Tears For Fears 583500 10 19 10 3 COLA CamelPhat & Elderbrook 70400 11 7 1 14 CRYBABY Paloma Faith 955000 12 16 12 13 DO IT AGAIN Steely Dan 237500 13 5 1 3 MAID OF ORLEANS (THE WALTZ JOAN OF ARC) Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark 262000 14 9 1 10 WAIT UP Hurts 712000 15 18 15 3 GOLDEN SLUMBERS The Beatles 68000 16 11 3 8 BETWEEN TWO ISLANDS Pet Shop Boys 394000 17 12 3 10 READY TO GO Hurts 531000 18 14 1 13 MY KINGDOM (WILLIAM BLACK REMIX) Evangeline 860650 19 23 19 3 ONLY YOU (2017 VERSION) Yazoo 59000 20 28 20 3 HOLD ME TIGHT OR DON’T Fall Out Boy 48400 21 29 21 3 BLUE ANGEL Roy Orbison & The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra 55450 22 17 1 10 MAGNIFICENT Hurts 834500 23 68 23 2 I KNOW YOU Craig David featuring Bastille 25650 24 33 24 4 GO BANG PNAU 60100 25 24 18 6 ULTRA LOVE Marlon Roudette 125750 26 22 15 4 COMIN’ UP Tungevaag & Raaban featuring Victor Crone 90000 27 26 17 5 ANYWHERE Rita Ora 92900 28 36 28 2 I CAN FEEL YOUR HEARTBEAT The Partridge Family featuring David Cassidy & Shirley Jones 35700 29 39 29 3 GUILTY Paloma Faith 40300 30 NEW 30 1 FUGITIVE (RICHARD X EXTENDED MIX) Pet Shop Boys 18000 31 15 7 6 IMMIGRANT SONG Led Zeppelin 214900 32 25 25 8 OH, PRETTY WOMAN Roy Orbison & The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra 130000 33 31 17 5 YOU WERE RIGHT RUFUS 98350 34 38 34 3 GOLDEN SLUMBERS Elbow 41400 35 40 35 3 WAY TO GO (GOMEZ & TRITTER REMIX) Empire Of The Sun 47000 36 27 4 9 GO 2.0 Burak Yeter & Ryan Rybak 314100 37 41 37 4 (DON’T FEAR) THE REAPER Blue Oyster Cult 55800 38 32 1 13 FOOTSTEPS Pet Shop Boys 887400 39 RE 39 4 SILENCE Marshmello featuring Khalid 45200 40 65 40 4 I MISS YOU Clean Bandit featuring Julia Michaels 35200 41 30 10 8 SEXY NORTHERNER Pet Shop Boys 200750 42 34 34 7 ROBOT MAN Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark 97350 43 35 12 13 LIFE WITH THE MACBETHS Sparks 232350 44 44 6 16 GET LOW Zedd & Liam Payne 429400 45 74 45 2 LIST OF PEOPLE (TO TRY AND FORGET) Tame Impala 18200 46 37 8 11 BEST FRIEND Sofi Tukker featuring NERVO, The Knocks & Alisa Ueno 297200 47 21 20 8 LOVE HURTS Roy Orbison & The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra 142900 48 53 48 2 GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY U2 23550 49 49 49 6 HOW LONG Charlie Puth 56400 50 54 50 2 COULD IT BE FOREVER David Cassidy 33000 51 46 22 6 COMIC LIFE Matt Maltese 99100 52 58 52 4 LET YOU DOWN NF 32700 53 59 53 4 GALAXY Dannii Minogue 33350 54 47 31 5 DRIVEWAY culpriit 76500 55 55 1 22 DREAMS Grace Slick 677500 56 45 30 8 EVERYTHING IS NEVER ENOUGH (VIDEO MIX) Goldfrapp 110300 57 48 3 13 CLOSER TO HEAVEN Pet Shop Boys 446950 58 50 50 3 FIELDS OF GOLD Katie Melua 33000 59 42 16 6 HOLY MOUNTAIN Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds 106400 60 NEW 60 1 FIND YOU Nick Jonas 10000 61 43 29 4 ELECTRICITY Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark 57000 62 57 29 7 A DIFFERENT CORNER George Michael 96550 63 61 1 21 TRUE FEELING Galantis 981150 64 RE 10 16 WHAT ABOUT US P!nk 302400 65 75 65 2 DAYDREAMER David Cassidy 12000 66 66 1 23 TWO FUX Adam Lambert 1085100 67 67 1 38 ALONE AGAIN OR Love 997950 68 64 19 10 BEAUTIFUL TRAUMA P!nk 149000 69 69 14 14 ALL STARS Martin Solveig featuring Alma 234350 70 71 70 2 BANDALA The Partridge Family featuring David Cassidy & Shirley Jones 11800 71 51 10 13 THE PUNISHMENT OF LUXURY Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark 202950 72 72 72 3 XANADU (LIVE AT WEMBLEY) Jeff Lynne’s ELO 16600 73 56 3 17 DRINK UP Train 648900 74 NEW 74 1 SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN The Crystals 5200 75 NEW 75 1 DRIVING HOME FOR CHRISTMAS Chris Rea 5000 DROP OUTS 52 35 4 JEALOUS (I AIN’T WITH IT) Chromeo 63500 60 9 11 EDITH PIAF (SAID IT BETTER THAN ME) Sparks 249300 62 44 4 DEADLY VALENTINE Charlotte Gainsbourg 44150 63 13 12 DUSK TILL DAWN ZAYN featuring Sia 230100 70 46 5 LOVING IS EASY Rex Orange County featuring Benny Sings 52800 73 73 2 JIG OF LIFE Kate Bush 10600 |

Poor Sufjan! I hope only musicians you don't care for die this week and that you don't go to see any more gigs or indeed venture outside at all for fear of hearing a forgotten classic somewhere. You may venture outside again once Sufjan has ruled. Bad popchartfreak |

amen is actually not bad at all and possibly should've done better on my chart but was pushed out by competition...
nice craig & bastille doing well for you aswell... impressed at pnau going top 30 too, now top 10 for me... that marshmello silence track is an odd one for me too, liked it, hated it, now love it again.... good chart! |

There is a big gap in quality between oldies (even if we talk about new songs from old acts) and the modern songs from 2017.

Hi Toffo, Yes, Amen is ebbing and flowing weekly for me a the mo, but it's such a great tune. marshmello, snap, I like it then, got a bit bored with it, now I like it even more than I did. Mood is everything in chart positions! cheers! john |

John, it's not only about Bucks Fizz.
Put on the first scale old acts from your chart (David Cassidy, PSB, OMD, Roy Orbison, Beatles, Glen Campbell, George Michael, Bucks Fizz) and any current act (Burak Yeter, Alma, Rita Ora e.t.c.) on the second. |

Hi Jordan, Thanks for the comments, I just don't seem to get bored with Get Low at all, and Train always have a long shelf-life in my charts Yes, Craig D & Bastille, didn;t see that one coming, or me liking it! Nick Jonas is consistently good it's a shame the boat seems to have sailed in the UK, but then I look at the streaming-based chart and I'm mystifed generally why some tracks are popular Will comment on your chart monday or tuesday) cos I fly tomorrow on me usual December week in Gran Canaria and I can listen to some of the newies in your chart properly (and other folks) I def need them as good new entries are a bit thin on the ground in my chart the last few weeks! cheers! john |
