I'm really enjoying these commentaries Pete! Nice to get a throwback of exactly what was going on in the chart back then.

Interesting topic - though I think the number of *new* artists should be factored in somehow, as to me, having a load of new songs by *one* artist doesn't seem very fresh to me.

IMO freshness implies variety of music, not just rate of chart turnover.

12/5/2017

arrow right.gif 01. 2007 - 501 Points (351 + 150)
No surprise to see 2007 at #1 for the third week in a row as it breaks the 500 barrier. McFly's 'Baby's Coming Back/Transylvania' entered straight in at #1, a song best know for being (up until 2015) the biggest drop from #1. Akon's 'Don't Matter' and Scooch's iconic Eurovision entry 'Flying the Flag (For You)' both enter the Top 5, and a total of 5 new entries along with lots of high climbers seals the #1 spot for 2007.

arrow right.gif 02. 2017 - 354 Points (264 + 90)
Up 7 points this week, a new #1 plus Shawn entering the Top 5 keeps this chart fresh, as well as exactly 1 newie to the Top 10 ('Unforgettable') and 1 to the Top 20 ('Attention') keep this chart at a clear 2nd place. 3 new entries to te Top 40 to account for as well, and with 'Human' and 'You Don't Know Me edging ever closer to dropping out, expecct this score to increase.

arrow up.gif 03. 2016 - 280 Points (220 + 60)
2016 ascends to 3rd, despite losing 22 points this week. This was the week where all the Beyoncés (bar 'Hold Up') dropped out, leaving space for 6 new entries, including 'Can't Stop the Feeling' at #3, and two horrific Drake songs, 'Too Good' and 'Controlla'. (as well as a nice surprise with Benny Benassi's 'Paradise' at #40) Two Biebers, a Shawn Mendes and a Major Lazer all inflicted point deductions this week.

arrow down.gif 04. 2015 - 235 Points (180 + 55)
And 2015 drops back down to 4th, losing almost 100 points. Blonde's 'All Cried Out' was the highest of 4 new entries at #4, the others of which were Tove Lo's last grasp at relevance with 'Talking Body', Ariana Grande's 'One Last Time', and Fetty Wap's 'Trap Queen', which was cleary here for the long run. 'Chandelier' bounced back up to #35, and with Hozier and Ed Sheeran showing no signs of leaving, the negative points are tallying up.

19/5/2017

arrow right.gif 01. 2007 - 500 Points (350 + 150)
Losing just 1 point from last week, 2007 are yet again #1. Despite last week's #1, McFly's 'Baby's Coming Back/Transylvania' dropping all the way to 20, there were 4 songs in the Top 5 that hadn't been there previously, including a new entry at #1 from Rihanna's 'Umbrella'. 5 new entries as well, the highest being Mutya Buena's 'Real Girl' ( hi.gif Sugababes fans) and also included Men's Needs by The Cribs.

arrow right.gif 02. 2017 - 311 Points (271 + 40)
This year keeps its second place, however with considerably less points than last week. No new songs in the Top 5 and only 1 in the Top 10 ('Did You See') , however Miley Cyrus and Disciples landing themselves Top 20 positions stopped this week's chart from slipping any further. 'You Don't Know Me' dropping out also saved the chart a few negative points.

arrow right.gif 03. 2016 - 279 Points (214 + 65)
Another non-mover at #3 for 2016, losing points for the third week in a row though. ‘One Dance’ stays at #1 (BIG surprise there rolleyes.gif ), and the Top 5 remained static barring Timberlake overtaking Calvin. Drake’s ‘Too Good’ and Desiigner’s ‘Panda’ entered the Top 10, whilst there were four new entries from The Stone Roses w00t.gif, Reggie N Bollie, The Invictus Choir & gnash, although continued presence by two of the Biebers and by Shawn Mendes inflicted big penalties.

arrow right.gif 04. 2015 - 227 Points (167 + 60)
And 2015 remains at 4th, yet again losing a massive chunk of points. ‘Cheerleader’ remained at #1, and despite Galantis’ ‘Runaway (U & I)’ and Lunchmoney Lewis’ ‘Bills’ entering directly into the Top 5, continued presence by the dreary Hozier/Ed/Sia trio drags the whole chart down.

Oh, this time last year we had quite the variety of newies! Not often you get a classic rock band make a comeback, a charity choir record, an acoustic indiepop song and a novelty dancehall afrobeat track enter in the same week wink.gif

Hahahaha I love how accurate this is.


'One Dance' will no doubt drag 2016 down in the coming weeks/months, and then 'Closer' not long after. Oh how naive we were back then...

26/5/2017

arrow right.gif 01. 2007 - 383 Points (318 + 65)
2017 remains at #1, but with significantly less points compared to last week as there are no new songs in the Top 5 and the only change in the Top 10 is Mutya Buena's 'Real Girl' climbing from 11 to 9. 'Umbrella' continues its mammoth run at the top, whilst the highest of 6 new entries is the Pigeon Detectives' 'I'm Not Sorry' at #12. The lowest entries came from The Twang ('Either Way') and Reverend & the Makers ('Heavyweight Champion of the World'), both of which would crack the Top 10 in the future.

arrow right.gif 02. 2017 - 367 Points (282 + 85)
2017 gains a lot of points this week (thanks to the exit of Rag'n'Bone Man's 'Human'), and whilst 'Despacito' remains at #1, Liam Payne's new song 'Strip That Down' enters straight in at #3. Charlie Puth's 'Attention' enters the Top 10, and there are 4 climbers into the Top 20, including Ariana Grande's 'One Last Time', thanks to a campaign in light of recent events. This means that the two Ed's are currently the only songs inflicting negative points (& no songs over 20 weeks ohmy.gif )

arrow up.gif 03. 2015 - 318 Points (223 + 95)
2015 climbs a place, largely due to the fact that 'Chandelier' ended its 40+ week run in the chart, although it would continue to re-enter until we were sick to death of it. From browsing old threads, it looked like Radio 1 decided to only play the Top 4 of this chart, the highest new entry being Taylor Swift's 'Bad Blood' at #4, whilst 'Cheerleader' stayed at #1 for its fourth and final week. Ella Eyre entered at #12 with 'Together', whilst there were 4 more new entries from Andie Case's cover of 'Want to Want Me', Ne-Yo's 'She Knows', Sheppard's 'Geronimo' and Jessie J's 'Flashlight'. Coincidentially, 'One Last Time' was also in this chart at #34.

arrow down.gif 04. 2016 - 227 Points (192 + 35)
And last year drops back down to rock bottom with a practically stationary Top 10, barring Galantis climbing 1 place to #5. Sigma's flop 'Cry' enters at #21, whilst other new entries come from Kungs, which would go on to disappoint us all by not dethroning Drake from #1 for even a single week, and Craig David's 'One Last Time'. A number of songs on 15+ weeks though, including the final Bieber, 'Sorry', and Shawn Mendes' 'Stitches'; once the chart saviour, now just another chart clogger-upper.

2/6/2017

arrow right.gif 01. 2007 - 431 Points (331 + 100)
After losing a ton of points last week, 2007 picks itself up to remain at #1 by over 100 points. Mutya Buena's 'Real Girl' shoots up to #2, and two new tracks in the Top 10 in the form of The Twang's 'Either Way' and Calvin Harris' 'The Girls', the first of nine new entries. There are, however, six songs with now with more than 15 weeks on the chart and therefore donning negative points.

arrow right.gif 02. 2017 - 296 Points (246 + 50)
2017 stays at #2, but taking a massive tumble in points down to a score which only a few weeks ago would have put it in dead last. Three new entries, the highest being protest song Liar Liar, although none of this week's dropouts were in the chart 2 weeks earlier. No change in the Top 3, and the Eds, despite making downwards progress, are still costing points.

arrow right.gif 03. 2015 - 229 Points (149 + 80)
Another non-mover at #3, but yet another drop in points as 'Chandelier' re-enters, albeit for the last time in a while. Jason Derulo's 'Want to Want Me' enters straight in at #1, with a second new entry in the Top 10 coming from Martin Garrix with 'Don't Look Down'. Just missing out at #11 was Mans Zelmerlow's 'Heroes', the last Eurovision song EVER to reach the Top 40 cry.gif and a final new entry comes from Charles Hamilton & Rita Ora at #30 with 'New York Raining'.

arrow right.gif 04. 2016 - 209 Points (164 + 45)
And everyone's favourite Drake-dominated chart year remains last. The top 5 remain the same, Clean Bandit's 'Tears' enters at #6 and Kungs' 'This Girl' climbs 19 places up to 10. Coldplay's 'Hymn For the Weekend', just as we hoped it would finally drop out, climbed from #40 to #32 as a live performance and a SeeB remix gave it a new lease of life, and three future hits enter the Top 40 in the shape of The Chainsmokers' 'Don't Let Me Down', Adele's 'Send My Love (To Your New Lover)' and OneRepublic's 'Wherever I Go' (okay, only two future hits then kink.gif ) Two Biebers, a Major Lazer and a Shawn Mendes are the main reason the chart loses points.
