(eurgh at Chico though, so cringe - PCD deserved)

'Sewn' by The Feeling is brilliant and of course proof at #3 that a superior version of that track existed years before TikTok was thought up. Note the Michael Jackson entry at #15 from when he tried to replicate the Elvis re-issue success of 2005 and thankfully failed.

Same with Hot Chip and 'Over And Over'. Both of those do feel a lot more well remembered these days than their chart peaks suggested! Sewn is definitely my favourite new entry from the week though, I hadn't heard that one in many many years!

It's a shame Sewn was beaten by those shocking new entries in the Top 2 though.

The latter not being so random and 'of the time' when soon we may have a Majestic and Boney M song in the chart I liked the Jack Johnson track at the time, Because of You is another very good Kelly Clarkson song. Boys Will Be Boys is good but a bit jokey and overplayed as a soundbed in TV programmes since, Gold Digger is good but I prefer Touch the Sky. You Spin Me Round, great and it really sounds different to anything else in the charts when it charted in 1985. The Fall Out Boy song is good but its no Thnks Fr Th Mmrs. The Charlotte Chruch song is nowhere near as good as Crazy Chick. The Shakira song sounds a bit 90s alternative, its very good, I had forgotten about that song.

So much nostalgia even with hearing Zane Lowe and Steve Lamacq doing commentary on the new entries
