25th february 2018

It's Saara Aalto on top for a 3rd week, chasing by 2 Black Panther tracks (which I saw this week), giving Kendrick Lamar 2 of the top 3. No relation to Austrian inventor and movie actress Hedy Lamarr, who basically invented bluetooth in the 30's (sort of) as part of a radio-wave missile-guidance system for allied troops and then became a gorgeous movie star in Hollywood. I can however listen to Kendrick Lamar now via bluetooth, so sort of linked. No relation in either case to fictional Hedley Lamarr in Blazing Saddles. Hedy had a film-worthy life, though.

Florida Georgia Line and Hailee Steinfeld both have 2 top 20, and top 40, respectively, while CAIN (who?!) have the highest new entry with an unavailable Witchhouse track. Janelle Monae is back 3 years from her last chart entry - with Duran Duran - and 6 years since her monster fun. track. I now have a complete 1997-2017 database so can quote accurate stats from my charts during that period. Just 1968-1996 to add now...

5 Seconds of Summer get a second chart entry 4 years since the first, Imagine Dragons make it 4 off the latest album, Paloma Faith links with Sigala to give her 3 on the chart, and 23 in total. Sigala have had 4, and Franz Ferdinand get their 11th chart entry 9 years on from the last one (excluding their FFS project with Sparks).

Hi John!

Really liking the new Fratellis track now I've given it a listen! Could possibly be a future Top 5 for me...

I see a few BJSC tracks sneaking in, none of my favourites but Heart to Break was quite nice!

Nice to see Lullaby sneak in as well, much better than CHFL in my opinion and hope it can grow for you!

Great chart

Hello John!
Great to see "All The Stars" gain in the top 10!
Also great big gainers that I like are: "It's My House" and "Capital Letters".
Finally from your debuts I like: "Want You Back", "Lullaby" and "Feel The Love Go"!
Great chart overall!
