BuzzJack Music Forum _ UK Charts _ The UK #3 singles listening sessions

Posted by: jimwatts 24th January 2024, 10:00 PM



Welcome to the latest of our listening marathons, covering every UK Number 3 hit single ever from November 1952 to the present day!

Julian and I will once again be your hosts for this series, and the sessions will run from 16:00 to 19:00 UK time on Sundays (19:30 including bonus tracks). We'll be playing every song which peaked at #3 in the UK charts in chronological order over sessions of approx. 3 hours, then in the next session we'll pick up where we left off.

We will be using Synctube for the sessions. Anyone is welcome to join, why not give it a go? Feel free to join for as much or as little of the session as you like, and join in the live chat if you wish. Unless otherwise stated at the end of the thread, the Synctube link will be:

https://sync-tube.de/room/e-t8AXpb

The first session will take place this Sunday (28 January) and will cover 1952 up to the end of 1958, with the first 51 #3s (including three double A-sides). To avoid much overlap with BJSC results, we'll finish playing the #3s at the earlier than usual time of 18:35, and aim to complete the bonuses close to 19:00.

We will end each session with a number of bonus tracks in the following categories:

Top 10 hits - each week we will play half a dozen or so songs from the period in question that peaked at #6, #7, #8, #9 or #10. You will have a chance to nominate tracks to play in the weekend leading up to each session.

New #1 & #2 singles and #1 albums as we have already done listening marathons for each of #1 singles, #2 singles and #1 albums, we will keep these topped up as and when there are new songs that fall into these categories!

RIPs whenever someone notable from the music world passes away during the week, feel free to nominate a track of theirs or relating to them to play (does not have to be a chart hit).

Birthday slot if you have a birthday on the day of a session or during the week before or after, you can pm Julian or me with a random track of your choice. Obviously we probably won’t know it’s your birthday unless you tell us!

Jamelia slot this is when somebody thinks of a random track people want to hear for no particular reason. We’ll try and limit these this series to finish as close to 19:30 as possible though.

Hope you enjoy the series!

Queen Winifred was the obvious standout of today for me! Otherwise not a lot I'm likely to remember oops (shoutout to the scooby-dooing on the Teresa Brewer song though, I liked 'The Kid's Last Fight' and a couple of the later songs too, and I suppose there were a couple like Jimmy Boyd and The Goons that are also memorable but not sure they're in a good way kink.gif) A few of the crooner-type songs were nice too if not the most distinct, mainly the Nat King Cole ones.

Don't forget there was also an unintentional Paul Anka Jamelia slot laugh.gif

I’m pleased to say that overall the track list for tomorrow is looking much better than last week. Here is the list of #6 to #10s. I may potentially be a bit less democratic about it to give us some new discoveries - for example I might play something with 1 or 2 votes that many of us won’t know over something with 3 votes that we all know, but we’ll see how it goes. x

For the RIP slot, can we have 'Could It Be I'm Falling In Love' by The Detroit Spinners (just known as The Spinners in the US) for Henry Fambrough who was the last surviving original member of the group. He was part of the The Spinners from 1954 until he retired in 2023. 69 years in one group must surely be a record.

Session 3 coming up to take us to the end of 1969!
Perhaps due to my laptop issues last week, I can't edit playlists in the main SyncTube room, so I've created a temporary one for this session:

Sorry to nitpick but 'Layla' peaked at #4 on its 1982 reissue - we had it as a bonus in the #2s - so I can't count it (likewise the Elvis double A-side of his #2s) and you can all have another vote.

(If I don't hear from Dan, I'll use the other 4 nominations in his first list plus 'Nights In White Satin')

My choices:
Diana Ross - Ain't No Mountain High Enough
Thin Lizzy - Whiskey In The Jar
Elvis Presley – Always on My Mind [>> the PSB version, and I'll have my account deleted on that hill kink.gif ]
Fleetwood Mac – The Green Manalishi (With the Two Prong Crown) [have to stan its 4-week #10 peak]
David Bowie – Starman

Ah okay, in that case I've swapped out 'Layla' for 'Killing Me Softly With His Song' happy.gif

Laura Branigan - Gloria
Queen – Another One Bites the Dust
Bob Marley and the Wailers – No Woman, No Cry (Live)
Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five – The Message
Kim Carnes – Bette Davis Eyes

Posted by: King Rollo 10th March 2024, 01:55 PM

There are so many of my favourites here, the only way to narrow it down to five is to avoid anything with no votes or more than two votes so this is a tactical vote:

Depeche Mode – Just Can't Get Enough
XTC – Senses Working Overtime
Associates – Party Fears Two
ABC - Poison Arrow
A Flock of Seagulls – Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You)

For the RIP slot can we have something by Steve Lawrence? We had his number 3 with Eydie Gormι, 'I Want To Stay Here', a few weeks ago so I think either his UK number 4 hit, 'Footsteps', or his US number 1, 'Go Away Little Girl'.

Posted by: dandy* 10th March 2024, 02:01 PM

Will be sad to miss this week but there's no way I'll be able to make it on Mother's Day haha.

Like all of these in particular but I'll choose the 5 bold ones:

The Teardrop Explodes - Reward
Tenpole Tudor - Swords Of A Thousand Men
The Human League - Open Your Heart
The Human League - Being Boiled
Joe Jackson - Steppin' Out
George Benson – Give Me the Night
ABBA – Lay All Your Love on Me
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark – Enola Gay
Visage – Fade to Grey
Depeche Mode – Just Can't Get Enough
Associates - Party Fears Two
Hall & Oates – I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)

Can I make an early bid for the Eric Carmen RIP slot song to be Overnight Sensation by his former band The Raspberries? After all, everybody knows All By Myself, both the fantastic original and the version in which Cιline Dion brutally murdered it.

Posted by: danG 12th March 2024, 06:40 PM

have that as well if you like but Hungry Eyes is a must

Posted by: Bjork 12th March 2024, 08:04 PM

was gonna say Hungry Eyes is his best

sadly think i'm gonna miss next Sun, pity cos I was looking for Madonna x 2 in a row

No 'Blue Monday'? I see it isn't in the Chart Vault #9s list either - it would have come just before Black Lace - Superman cheeseblock.png I'll make sure to playlist the original version when it comes up as a #3 then.

('Ain't Nobody' in the #8s is another borderline case, but the remix which reached #6 is rather different. 'Alive And Kicking' probably should be removed from the #7s list though, as it reached #6 in 1992.)

My choices:
Depeche Mode - Everything Counts
Men Without Hats - The Safety Dance
Fiction Factory - (Feels Like) Heaven
Talking Heads - Road To Nowhere
Grandmaster Flash and Melle Mel - White Lines (Don't Do It)

For Eric Carmen, I would like the full 7 minute version of All By Myself but I'm happy to go with either of the other two suggestions.
For Steve Harley, can we have Here Comes The Sun?

Link in the opening post. I’ve been stuck in a tube station for 20 minutes now so who knows whether I’ll be still here or in a tunnel at 4, but I’ve managed to start setting up the session on my phone.

I’ll switch out ‘Enjoy The Silence’ for ‘Pacific State’ if the former is getting a play anyway!

Posted by: Chez Wombat 14th April 2024, 11:41 AM

I'll also swap Depeche Mode for We Didn't Start the Fire (missed that completely on first glance x)

Midnight Oil - Beds Are Burning
Yello - The Race
Billy Joel - We Didn't Start The Fire
Duran Duran - All She Wants Is

RIPs:
Chris Cross from Ultravox - can we have 'All Stood Still' which is the only top 10 hit by them we haven't played yet.
Clarence 'Frogman' Henry - we played his no.3 single recently so can we have his number 6 hit, 'You Always Hurt The One You Love', a former record of the week of mine.

Felix – Don't You Want Me
Nirvana – Smells Like Teen Spirit
U2 – One
Radiohead – Creep

Some very tough choices, none moreso than leaving out R.E.M. – Everybody Hurts which is my favourite song of the 90s, but it did get a play in the #1 albums' sessions (edit: as did The Smiths – This Charming Man), whereas of those above I think only U2 – One did, and I was away that week!

Pixies - Where Is My Mind would be another possible RIP song for Steve Albini but PJ Harvey is a good suggestion.

I was going to suggest something from 'In Utero' for Steve Albini but I see I've been beaten to a suggestion (I don't know that PJ Harvey song but she is usually good so interested to hear x).

Also didn't know he was behind 'Where Is My Mind?'!

RIPs:
For Richard Tandy from ELO, I've picked this song from an acoustic session that he and Jeff Lynne did in 2012. You will see a lot more of him here than you would in a normal video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0AuhqFFsyU

For Duane Eddy can we have the 80s version of Peter Gunn with the Art Of Noise? He's not in the official video so I've found his performance on Top Of The Pops:
