I've gone slightly mad on it's hooks and retro-charm! The sisters first charted in 1975 for me, then hit my top 10 with The Best Disco In Town in 1976, and have had to wait a whopping 44 years to get that chart-topper. This week I've been on holiday in Gran Canaria, and haven't had any time to listen to new music, or current music for the most part, so mostly oldies enter my charts. I was at the airport when I heard the sad news about the death of Keith Flint, hence his greatest moment back in my top 5 23 years on, on top of the loss of Talk Talk mainman Mark Hollis, which has also brought their best tracks back in my chart for the 3rd time in the case of chart-topper It's My Life, and twice top tenner Life's What You Make It. 1 NEW 1 1 AMERICAN GENERATION The Ritchie Family 170000 2 2 2 3 365 Zedd & Katy Perry 250000 3 4 3 3 BEST 54 (ALL GOOD NOW) Jungle 167100 4 NEW 4 1 FIRESTARTER The Prodigy 65000 5 1 1 3 THE KILLING MOON (SYMPHONIC VERSION) Echo & The Bunnymen 400000 6 7 6 3 ELECTRO ROMANTICO Bob Sinclar featuring Robbie Williams 122600 7 3 2 6 SWAN SONG Dua Lipa 323000 8 6 3 7 STARTED OUT Georgia 375200 9 10 5 6 TRAMPOLINE SHAED 261000 10 12 10 4 WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT THE RICH?

Firestarter is one of The Prodigy's best, it's tragic what's happened as I've grown up listening to their music and it doesn't feel right that he's not around anymore And of course Talk Talk as well That one reminds me of being younger as well even if I wasn't around when it was released, a great song! Great chart

Great chart Hi Pete, Thanks for dropping by! Glad you like The Ritchie Family track, it's one I liked but got overshadowed by much more famous tracks at the time, so I'm happy to see some Eurodisco cheese make it Sad about Keith & Mark yes, though Talk Talk were also really 90's as they had reissued success with some of their 80's tracks. Cheers!

Khalid still almost top 10 this week due to an invasion of new stuff! cheers! john

I'm also surprised I haven't seen "Such A Shame" by Talk Talk, in your chart, but 2 other songs, one including "It's My Life", which I've heard. "Such A Shame" is actually played from time to time on a german radio I'm hearing. I also like the huge gain for "Graffiti" and the Prodigy debuts! Great chart!
