It's Midge for a second week on top, a synthpop return to form most welcome. Highest new entry at 3 though is native american band Redbone and the terrific 1974 hit and US smash hit (in my charts peaking at 27 or so) Come And Get Your Love. Featured in the "Guardians Of The Galaxy" movie, I'm really getting into these great obscure 70's and 80's revivals in blockbuster movies - Blue Swede and Jim Croce have already charted from 1974 alone this year. Joining them, Elvin Bishop and Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell's singles as featured in the same movie, Ain't No Mountain having previously topped for Diana Ross, and been a minor 2010 reissued hit at 55 in my chart for the original Marvin & Tammi version. Elvin also charted back in 1976 or so.

Saint Motel is among the tracks still not available to download, as Nico and Vinz is finally out today after hitting it big in every single country in the world long ago. I like it but I'm not buying it in protest as the tosspot record companies holding back music from the UK and no other nation. They can piss off as far as I'm concerned. It's a pity everyone else doesn't follow suit as it's guaranteed to be number one after years of being held back.

Jack White is the highest new track to chart, but lots of advert-related stuff, and chart hits lower down, while Erasure extend their run of hits and Dolly Parton does the same, since debuting in 1976 with Jolene.
