22nd October 2017
Evangeline finally gets on top, holding off another Hurts challenger, the soulful Wait Up. My Kingdom was entered into Buzzjack Song Contest 98 and failed to make the final. I wasn't in that semi, sadly, cos I don't know what substances everyone was one to ignore this brilliant track, the sexiest track of the year - that's sexy tingly passion not rapper "sexy" sweary-naughty-words which are not remotely sexy or passionate. This one builds, a great melody, a convincing vocal to match the tastefully passionate lyrics, and then that driving beat getting louder with rising passions right through to the "drop" as I believe the youngsters call it, and frenzied electrobeats. Perfectly constructed. Obviously all too young to know what it's about Sparks shoot up into the top 10 with Edith Piaf. That's the song, not a duet with a French ghost chanteuse. That gives the boys 43 years of top 10's and around about a dozen at least to date, I reckon, probably more, with another cantering a bit lower with the Macbeths, reality TV stylee. Class! Pet Shop Boys get another top 10 with a non-charted oldie, we are really closing in on 70 or 80 top 10's for that UK duo, the biggest by far outpacing the US nearest version - Sparks. There's a load of new entries following the George Michael TV show (which I haven't seen yet) as they all charted in the sales chart, so they may yet go up when I watch it. Another UK duo are also back - it's OMD, and I think they may must be the 2nd biggest duo in my charts of all-time. Can't think of any other that would rival, barring Erasure, but OMD have 5 years start on them. 1 2 1 7 MY KINGDOM (WILLIAM BLACK REMIX) Evangeline 561650 2 3 2 4 WAIT UP Hurts 278000 3 1 1 4 MAGNIFICENT Hurts 570000 4 7 4 3 GO 2.0 Burak Yeter & Ryan Rybak 132300 5 5 3 4 READY TO GO Hurts 280000 6 4 1 7 FOOTSTEPS Pet Shop Boys 755000 7 6 1 8 CRYBABY Paloma Faith 675000 8 11 8 5 BEST FRIEND Sofi Tukker featuring NERVO, The Knocks & Alisa Ueno 145150 9 27 9 6 EDITH PIAF (SAID IT BETTER THAN ME) Sparks 141350 10 16 10 2 BETWEEN TWO ISLANDS Pet Shop Boys 67000 11 9 6 10 GET LOW Zedd & Liam Payne 328750 12 12 3 7 CLOSER TO HEAVEN Pet Shop Boys 340700 13 15 3 11 DRINK UP Train 562000 14 10 10 4 CLOSE TO YOU ARLE 130900 15 8 8 11 I HEAR YOU CALLING DJ Licious 272300 16 13 13 7 DUSK TILL DAWN ZAYN featuring Sia 155400 17 22 17 11 BOTH SIDES NOW Glen Campbell 181000 18 21 18 2 SEXY NORTHERNER Pet Shop Boys 41750 19 19 19 3 WORD UP The BossHoss 61000 20 20 20 4 BEAUTIFUL TRAUMA P!nk 68700 21 17 10 10 RUN FOR COVER The Killers 223750 22 14 14 8 ALL STARS Martin Solveig featuring Alma 154400 23 18 18 7 FANTASY George Michael featuring Nile Rodgers 143750 24 24 24 6 LIFE WITH THE MACBETHS Sparks 92600 25 35 25 7 DO IT AGAIN Steely Dan 102000 26 26 12 8 TALL THIN MEN Pet Shop Boys 212750 27 43 27 2 LOVE HURTS Roy Orbison & The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra 31900 28 25 4 12 MORE MESS Kungs featuring Olly Murs & Coely 504450 29 23 7 11 NEW RULES Dua Lipa 281750 30 40 30 3 SPENT THE DAY IN BED Morrissey 46000 31 28 1 14 STILL FEELS LIKE THE FIRST TIME Zoot Woman featuring Kylie Minogue 822000 32 32 14 6 WALK ON WATER Thirty Seconds To Mars 130600 33 30 6 9 LIKE AN ANGEL PASSING THROUGH MY ROOM Madonna 281950 34 31 1 15 TRUE FEELING Galantis 916900 35 39 35 3 END OF THE LINE The Traveling Wilburys 47600 36 61 36 5 ILL RAY (THE KING) Kasabian 44500 37 53 37 3 KAAMOS Tom Fall 38950 38 29 27 8 SWINGIN’ WITH MY EYES CLOSED Shania Twain 131300 39 NEW 39 1 A DIFFERENT CORNER George Michael 17100 40 47 40 2 I LOVE YOU BUT I’M LOST Tears For Fears 29500 41 44 10 11 WHAT ABOUT US P!nk 258500 42 34 13 10 REGGAETON LENTO CNCO & Little Mix 214450 43 33 33 8 DARK NIGHTS Dorothy 119100 44 41 9 11 HOLDING ON Dannii Minogue featuring Jason Heerah 244300 45 36 8 19 SWISH SWISH Katy Perry featuring Nicki Minaj 397100 46 58 46 2 OH, PRETTY WOMAN Roy Orbison & The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra 22950 47 45 19 13 POWER Little Mix featuring Stormzy 209250 48 37 37 8 WOULDN’T WANNA BE YA YONAKA 92700 49 49 1 16 DREAMS Grace Slick 611100 50 54 50 5 MORE THAN FRIENDS James Hype featuring Kelli-Leigh 44200 51 46 8 14 ROCKIN’ The Weeknd 357350 52 38 38 3 TALK OF THIS TOWN Catherine McGrath 41200 53 59 53 4 I THINK IT’S STUPID BUT I THINK IT’S LOVE The RPM’s 34350 54 NEW 54 1 PRAYING FOR TIME George Michael 11000 55 55 1 17 TWO FUX Adam Lambert 1032000 56 62 56 5 HAVANA Camila Cabello featuring Young Thug 34000 57 69 57 2 EVERYTHING IS NEVER ENOUGH (VIDEO MIX) Goldfrapp 16600 58 51 8 15 I’LL BE AROUND Empire Of The Sun 376200 59 NEW 59 1 SILENCE Marshmello featuring Khalid 10100 60 74 60 2 SAY A PRAYER TIEKS featuring Chaka Khan & Popcaan 15200 61 42 33 8 DUM DUM Kideko featuring Tiny Tempah and Becky G 91550 62 65 62 4 HEROES David Bowie 28200 63 63 1 32 ALONE AGAIN OR Love 957650 64 48 42 7 CHASING HIGHS Alma 63650 65 NEW 65 1 FATHER FIGURE George Michael 7000 66 NEW 66 1 ROBOT MAN Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark 6800 67 66 1 19 SUMMER WINE Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazelwood 811300 68 NEW 68 1 FREEDOM ’90 George Michael 6400 69 70 69 3 AMERICAN GIRL Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers 17600 70 50 38 6 TENSION CENTVRIES 73000 71 NEW 71 1 I KNEW YOU WERE WAITING (FOR ME) George Michael and Aretha Franklin 5800 72 73 72 3 NOBODYS CHILD The Traveling Wilburys 16000 73 NEW 73 1 FAITH George Michael 5400 74 75 74 2 FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH Liam Gallagher 10200 75 NEW 75 1 CARELESS WHISPER George Michael 5000 DROP OUTS 52 27 10 I COULD USE A LOVE SONG Maren Morris 134900 56 19 9 DIVE (3.35 EDIT) Saint Etienne 137950 57 22 7 ELIZABETH TAYLOR (MULHOLLAND EDITION) Clare Maguire 117000 60 1 10 GALVESTON Glen Campbell 746550 64 64 2 ROCKIN’ FOR MYSELF Motiv8 featuring Angie Brown 13100 67 8 11 DARTH VADER Dragonette 233250 68 60 3 BURN SLOW Jaira Burns 23400 71 71 2 VULCANO Francesca Michelin 10800 72 48 2 MASTERPIECE NONONO 17900 |

Hi Chewie Yes Evangeline is just fab! Praying For Time topped my chart at the time, so I was a bit disappointed it didn't do better (and every other track off the album, none of them making the 20, even Freedom which has just recharted in the UK singles chart! Marshmello, me too - one second I think I like it a lot then I'm not sure. It could go either way Cheers! john |
