27th September 2020

It's a first week on top for South-Korean-based US act Jessi with the pop diva track, Numb, great vocal. As the top end of the chart keeps a stranglehold in my affections, only Sophie Ellis-Bextor sneaks in with her first top 10 since Bittersweet hit 7 in 2020. Meanwhile Bon Jovi get a first top 20 in 11 years and only their 3rd this century. Erasure take the 1988 classic into the 20 as current track Nerves Of Steel gives a 2nd new top of 2020.

Roisin Murphy leaps into the top 30 with Something More, her 3rd of 2020, while veterans Pretenders also get a second top 40 of 2020, namechecking Barcelona where I was the other week, and NYC, where I was in 1989. A quiet week for new entries, with 90's top 10 The Wannadies cover You & Me Song entering at 68 in a nice version from Joy Crookes. Kylie shows she's still magic as the second Disco track drops with Say Something still riding high, and an Italian edit from 1990 brings Advice For The Young At Heart back into my chart 30 years on for Tears For Fears.
