Robbie always wears his lyric heart on his sleeve, and just touches me enormously, his gift with words is great and Guy Chambers' melodies heavenly. Robbie needs a slap for not putting it on the album proper, though, unless he has bigger plans for it. Perfectly constructed ballad. The Weeknd still has two top 5 tracks, Coldcut get their 4th top 10, and all the Christmas songs are joined by a new one from ABC, their first, and 7th chart entry this year. 2016 is their best year since 1982 classicness. When they scored a first hit at christmas 1981, just faffing around the lower end of the UK top 75 was a little old minor jolly christmas ditty from The Waitresses, barely even one-minor-hit wonders. Time has been very kind, though, as the song tends to get some annual exposure without ever breaking big. LONG overdue a top 40 visit, we need a campaign to get it there at long last. 14 for me, some 35 years after first cracking my top 40. Busted have a top 20 climb, Alan Walker a huge leap for a second top 30, while chart returns for Kaiser Chiefs, Barry Gibb, Robin Schulz, David Guetta, Zayn and Taylor Swift set them up for a good start to 2017. 1 1 1 6 WHEN YOU KNOW Robbie Williams 1020000 2 2 2 2 I BELIEVE IN FATHER CHRISTMAS Greg Lake 230000 3 3 2 4 SECRETS The Weeknd featuring Tears For Fears 400000 4 5 4 4 I FEEL IT COMING The Weeknd featuring Daft Punk 159400 5 7 5 9 CLOSER The Chainsmokers featuring Halsey 262350 6 8 6 4 MAKE ME (CRY) Noah Cyrus featuring Labrinth 139750 7 4 3 5 REDBONE Childish Gambino 271400 8 9 8 3 NEVER GIVE UP Sia 128000 9 6 6 7 ROCKABYE Clean Bandit featuring Sean Paul & Anne-Marie 254250 10 13 10 6 ONLY HEAVEN Coldcut featuring Roots Manuva 140600 11 10 1 13 HURTS Emeli Sande 1135000 12 21 12 3 ONE MORE SLEEP Leona Lewis 31500 13 10 5 6 BRUCE LEE Robbie Williams 294000 14 32 14 3 CHRISTMAS WRAPPING The Waitresses 50100 15 19 15 6 ONE DAY I’LL FLY AWAY Vaults 106500 16 12 7 5 WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE Adele 158000 17 20 17 6 MAGNETISED Garbage 88100 18 16 2 14 GO!

Hi Steve thanks for dropping by - the numbers are chart point "sales". Back in the 70s i got hold of a book which printed the ratio of uk singles chart sales for one week in 1976, the week Abba were on top with Fernando. So I thought it would be fun to use them for my own charts and compile a year end chart. I just kept going The advantage over a basic 1 to 40 or 75 or 100 points chart point system is it gives a better weighting to tracks you love with passion over ones you like a lot that just hang around a long while. The disadvantage is some tracks get flattered if the tracks going top 3 are due to lack of competition Cheers john

Good chart Hi Jason, Leona is almost in the uk top 40 sales chart this week so just blame spotify playlists as i don't believe for a minute that streamers like it less than 20th century classics and only older downloaders love it! I would LOVE Human to be xmas number one but itll prob be Clean Bandit again... This is my fave Busted record ever Cheers! John
