The Suedehead Chart Commentary is back! The latest ramblings can be found from the front page and the latest news box as usual.

Glad to see that you're well enough to resume these commentaries again Suedey - I don't comment on them much any more but still always make sure to read them. (thanks to John for taking over the last few weeks as well of course)

Thanks Bre. I've missed doing these over the last few weeks! It's a relief to be in a position to do them again.

ACTS WITH THE No.1 & No.2 SINGLES AT THE SAME TIME

Ed Sheeran has become only the 7th Act to have the UK's No.1 Singles, in the same Week. He's also the 1st living UK Solo Act to achieve it. It is only the 22nd Chart in which the No.1 & No.2 Singles have been credited to the same Act. Justin Bieber has done it for 6 Weeks on his own & for 3 Weeks as a 'Featured' Artist. Which means that he's had the UK's No.1 & No.2 Singles - at the same time - for 9 Weeks, out of the 22 Weeks that it has ever been achieved.

NOTE – As they were not given their own credits on one, or both, of their simultaneous No.1 & No.2 Hits, I’m not counting Donny Osmond, W/E 7th September 1974 – No.1 – The Osmonds – Love Me For A Reason & No.2 – Donny & Marie Osmond – I’m Leaving It All Up To You. For the same reason, I’m not counting - W/E 15th December 1984 – George Michael. He was on the New Entry at No.1 – Band Aid – Do They Know It’s Christmas? & the New Entry at No.2 – Wham! - Last Christmas/Everything She Wants – 5 consecutive Weeks at No.1 & No.2. Nor am I counting Jason Donovan, who was on the No.1 & No.2 Singles for W/E 6th January 1990 – No.1 – Do They Know It’s Christmas? - Band Aid II & No.2 – When You Come Back To Me – Jason Donovan. Nor do I count Clean Bandit – W/E 29th November 2014 – No.1 – Band Aid 30 – Do They Know It’s Christmas? & No.2 – Clean Bandit – Real Love -- With Jess Glynne. She was not on the Band Aid 30 Single.
