31st December 2017
It's Aretha Franklin's orchestral oldie on top, almost exactly 44 years since the gorgeous Stevie Wonder song first charted for me, and it's been a week of oldies xmas invasions, as a refuge from the stress of having a father unexpectedly in hospital from xmas eve (and still there) while caring for a mother who needs help with everything. Lots of TV playlist oldies has created a nostalgic xmas chart invasion, belatedly, some of them having charted dozens of times before, some just a couple or a few times. The Fizz make it 2 top 10's with the christmassy Home For My Heart, and also give Rick Wakeman his first ever top 10 singles chart credit - though he was tinkling the ivories in my top 10 way back in the early 70's on many records. Paloma gets a second top 10 of the year, Streets Of London incredibly makes my top 20 for the first ever time, criminal for such a great song! Joe Goddrad heavily samples a 70's disco soul flop from Brainstorm, one I didn't know at the time (or since) so I've given them credit, cos it's great. Buckingham McVie return for 5th track off the Mac-side-project album, Oh Wonder get a second chart single, Taylor Swift gets her first of the year, and Jose Feliciano's xmas oldie finally charts - largely because I keep hearing it, having spent the best part of 45 years never having come across the 1970 track at all. Jose Feliciano had a top 10 fab hit with me in my first charting days in late 1968, with the Doors song, Light My Fire - a stylised version covered by Will Young more recently - and then...nothing. Never made my chart again, not even his current Jools Holland stuff. So, a new chart record - albeit with an oldie - for Jose, as his 49-year-drought comes to an end and he finally gets a follow-up. 1 2 1 4 UNTIL YOU COME BACK TO ME (THAT’S WHAT I’M GONNA DO) Aretha Franklin with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra 455000 2 1 1 5 DRIVING HOME FOR CHRISTMAS Chris Rea 332300 3 3 1 6 HOW CAN I BE SURE David Cassidy 740000 4 4 4 6 LIST OF PEOPLE (TO TRY AND FORGET) Tame Impala 258200 5 5 1 9 MYSTERY OF LOVE Sufjan Stevens 817000 6 6 5 7 PHASES Alma & French Montana 322400 7 7 2 9 AMEN The Fizz 780000 8 10 8 6 I KNOW YOU Craig David featuring Bastille 157150 9 27 9 3 HOME FOR MY HEART The Fizz featuring Rick Wakeman 80900 10 12 10 7 GUILTY Paloma Faith 155600 11 9 9 17 DO IT AGAIN Steely Dan 399500 12 16 12 8 (DON’T FEAR) THE REAPER Blue Oyster Cult 151400 13 8 8 7 COLA CamelPhat & Elderbrook 224400 14 25 14 2 PRETTY BABY Sister Sledge 47750 15 15 3 12 BETWEEN TWO ISLANDS Pet Shop Boys 492000 16 32 16 2 ON OUR WAY HOME Empire Of The Sun 42800 17 17 17 6 I CAN FEEL YOUR HEARTBEAT The Partridge Family featuring David Cassidy & Shirley Jones 119950 18 30 18 2 HOME Joe Goddard featuring Brainstorm 40000 19 29 19 2 SHINE ON ME Dan Auerbach 39200 20 40 20 2 STREETS OF LONDON Ralph McTell featuring The Crisis Choir with Annie Lennox 37000 21 13 10 7 BLUE ANGEL Roy Orbison & The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra 171200 22 11 7 7 HOLD ME TIGHT OR DON’T Fall Out Boy 204900 23 18 1 12 I LOVE YOU BUT I’M LOST Tears For Fears 683750 24 26 24 5 FIND YOU Nick Jonas 79250 25 36 25 2 THIS CAN’T BE TRUE Eddie Holman 36150 26 14 4 9 TIMEBOMBS HURRICANES Written By Wolves 377400 27 23 1 18 CRYBABY Paloma Faith 1044650 28 22 5 6 I’M A CLOWN David Cassidy 208800 29 75 29 2 STOP THE CAVALRY Jona Lewie 23200 30 20 20 4 YOU MAKE IT FEEL LIKE CHRISTMAS Gwen Stefani featuring Blake Shelton 74850 31 19 19 8 SILENCE Marshmello featuring Khalid 114850 32 28 17 9 ANYWHERE Rita Ora 169750 33 24 8 7 GOLDEN SLUMBERS The Beatles 187700 34 21 8 8 THE CALLING TheFatRat featuring Laura Brehm 259850 35 31 3 14 READY TO GO Hurts 604700 36 39 36 4 LAST CHRISTMAS Wham! 61800 37 34 4 21 BOTH SIDES NOW Glen Campbell 464300 38 49 38 6 BANDALA The Partridge Family featuring David Cassidy & Shirley Jones 60500 39 65 39 2 STEP INTO CHRISTMAS Elton John 24100 40 33 1 14 WAIT UP Hurts 783850 41 41 1 7 MAID OF ORLEANS (THE WALTZ JOAN OF ARC) Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark 326600 42 37 1 14 MAGNIFICENT Hurts 898400 43 35 24 8 GO BANG PNAU 127600 44 38 17 9 YOU WERE RIGHT RUFUS 164200 45 43 1 17 FOOTSTEPS Pet Shop Boys 941150 46 44 10 12 SEXY NORTHERNER Pet Shop Boys 254000 47 54 47 3 RUT The Killers 28500 48 45 1 17 MY KINGDOM (WILLIAM BLACK REMIX) Evangeline 917950 49 56 49 3 WOLVES Selena Gomez & Marshmello 27900 50 NEW 50 1 LAY DOWN FOR FREE Lindsey Buckingham & Christine McVie 12000 51 48 6 20 GET LOW Zedd & Liam Payne 478550 52 46 15 8 COMIN’ UP Tungevaag & Raaban featuring Victor Crone 150150 53 51 18 10 ULTRA LOVE Marlon Roudette 180900 54 NEW 54 1 WHEN A CHILD IS BORN Johnny Mathis 11000 55 55 1 26 DREAMS Grace Slick 720700 56 RE 5 14 FEEL IT STILL Portugal.

So John & Yoko have been appearing in my chart since I was 14 years old when I was totally mad on it over xmas 1972, and it hit number one. It's topped my chart many times since but not in the 21st century as I prefer to go with less familiar (to me) xmas songs mostly these days! Elton's xmas song made my top 10 in 1973 but wasn't one I loved compared to his other songs at the time, but I've remained fond of it with time passing. Fall Out Boy is a goodie, it's a shame they don't chart singles anymore in the UK. I'm glad you know The waitresses song, I wasn't even sure it would be known at all in the US! Just bought Andy Grammer's track to appear on my next car CD (I'm still old-fashioned )Cheers john
