23rd July 2017
In the week of the tragic loss of Chester Bennington, I had to finally give the epic Numb the love I didn't give at the time, 14 years ago (I was in a bad place that year and couldnt cope with depressing music) - it only peaked at 30 in my charts, and it took the Jay-Z mash-up to take it to 15 on a long chart run to see what I'd missed. So, 16 years after In The End hit 7 in my charts (and re-enters at 15 here), Faint did ditto a few years later, and Steve Aoki took A Light That Never Comes to 5 4 years ago, Linkin Park finally get a number one here, knocking off the still-superb Adam Lambert track.
The Union climb fast into the top 5, Syml into the top 20, and the highest new new entry, as opposed to older tracks, is from The Script at 27 - it never rains on Danny, it seems, but hey, for TLC it's Sunny - a fab reworking of the 1966 Bobby Hebb classic (who features on the track along with an Earth Wind & Fire sample - September). Last in my charts courtesy of Boney M 40 years ago! OMD got top 40, along with a host of returnees, but they also have another new track in at 55 - the new album title track, The Punishment of Luxury, while The Weeknd makes it 5 in a row off Starboy, Rockin' in at 48.
Coldplay at back with a goodie at 53, Miracles, and Kylie is also back for her 31st year of chart hits here, assisting Zoot Woman at 58, as Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks assists Lana Del Ray on her 3rd of the year, nicel leapfrogging her two Mac compadres in the process for 41 years of charting. Enrique's Latin smash also enters at last (I've given in, I'm bound to hear it next week on a Spanish theme park family break), and gives him 18 years-worth of hits, loads of 'em. You want longevity though? The Selecter have been away for a while, since their 2-tone heyday - Pauline Black has always popped up here and there over the years in the media or touring, but they haven't troubled my charts since 1980, or solo Pauline since 1982's Shoorah Shoorah - so a gap of 35 years, that's one of the longest gaps ever for a returning act with new material.

great chart!
Hiya John, here are my favourites of the week!
It's nice to see Ben Haenow poke his head in at #75
I love your number one, the Jay-Z version was my jam back in the day but since Chester's passing the original version has taken on a whole new meaning for me! A lot of their music feels different to me now as I think about the anguish he must have been in.
I really like the Steve Aoki collab that was prevously your highest charting Linkin Park single!
Your number #2 is really good too, his last album was really good and I likd Welcome To The Show last year!
It's nice to see Subeme La Radio enter too, that song was a #2 for me bakc in March.
The Script's new single I really like too!
