14th April 2019

It's a first week on top for Jackie, the late Scott Walker's brilliant dramatic and naughty solo track from 1968, banned on the radio way back and written by the great Jacques Brel, a French star who could pen a great song at the drop of a hat back in the 60's. It's the second time on top, for a second week, both in the 21st century, being as it predated my charts by a couple of months, and was ineligible when I went mad on it in 1976/77 and beyond. Rock The Boat goes top 5 for a second time, thanks to Record Store Day releases (with more waiting to chart), Olly Murs gets another top 20, helped by Niles Rodgers who can claim a sweet 41-year chart-span as a result since Dance Dance Dance went top 10 in my first year at Uni, ah memories of recording onto cassette so I could play them when my room-mates were out or in - I like an audience for my music taste laugh.gif

Talking of oldies Baron Samedi gets top 20 some 45 years late (and outdoing the single off the album Silly Love) for 10cc, Morrissey has a second chart cover, the highly-unlikely version of Mozza crooning Laura Nyro's Wedding Bell Blues, as hit for the The 5th Dimension in 1969, lo those 50 years back. Still a great song and a nice version at 22. P!nk also has 2 on the charts as she hustles her way into the 30, just behind Louise who leaps above her with a great comeback single, one of her best efforts.

The late Avicii gets a posthumous chart entry (a growing club at the moment) with Aloe Blacc helping on SOS, 6 years for Avicii, 8 years for Aloe. Foster The People started selling downloads again on the back of articles stating how they are shifting streaming "sales" in bucketloads to become the biggest track of 2011 since streaming started despite peaking at 18 in the UK charts. It topped my charts back then, so good to see the world catch up with me.... laugh.gif Tame Impala get a second charter, and ABC get two Lexicon Of Love debuts 37-years late. To be frank every track on the classic album is a gem, and Martin Fry is still fab in concert (which I saw last week).

Finally an advert is popularizing Together In Electric Dreams again, so I might as well chart it again, and Alan Parsons is back after a gap of at least 35 years, I'd say. Apart from being an Austin Powers gag, Alan was a music engineer on Abbey Road (The Beatles) and Dark Side Of The Moon (Pink Floyd) just to namedrop 2 classics, before producing brilliant hit records from the likes of Pilot, The Hollies, Al Stewart in the 70's just ahead of his 80's Alan Parsons Project hits like Eye In The Sky. A bit of a veteran then! Jason Mraz lends a vocal hand, 11 years since make It Mine debuted.

Hi John!

Giving Jackie a listen now, it's sounding nice! Not heard of Scott Walker before but it sounds like he was a character, RIP sad.gif

Rock the Boat - well there's a song I've not heard in a while! It's a great song though, makes me feel nostalgic as it was on one of my dad's disco albums that I loved.

Nice to see MEDUZA and SOS make their entrance as well, both great dance tracks that I'm glad are doing so well officially!

Great chart biggrin.gif

Hi Pete glad you like Scott's track, he very much turned his back on pop success and did his own thing, even leaving the USA for Europe where his inspirations were. Good to hear your dad liked disco albums - I've got loads of them, so many that I have some tracks on CD many times over laugh.gif - we all go back to our parents record collections, I know I do, Beatles, Elvis, Roy Orbison and many more!

I was a bit pleasantly surprised that a track like Meduza can still make the charts, and SOS is good to see a hit too, I understand poor Avicii had quite a lot of completed stuff pending so it won't be the last time he charts I'm sure.

cheers!

John cool.gif
