3rd July 2022
It's back up to one for a 4th visit to the top spot, Kate Bush is still Running Up That Stranger Things Hill, as is Moby with a 90's album track I'd never heard before, and rather nice it is too, new at 72 with the unknown Mimi Goese on vocals and collab. The highest new entry is due to Glastonbury as the 80-year-old actual legend that is Paul McCartney sells enough of Band On The Run to make the Sales chart, giving me a long-awaited excuse to chart my 1974 number one again. From the same album Jet topped my chart for 7 weeks, Band On The Run just the one week. The single is a bit of an epic and the album is the best Post-Beatles album by quite a margin for Macca, and it seems insane that there were only 2 singles taken from it. I charted several of the album tracks in 1974.
Bananarama have barely left the top 10 with favourite and return at 6 with Masquerade, a Pet Shop Boys-sounding backing track and all. That's at least their 21st top 10 in 41 years. Roosevelt debuts his Passion inside the top 10 - while Nile Rodgers grabs yet another, at least a dozen or so as an artist/band-member, starting Dance Dance Dance in 1978, and oodles more as songwriter/producer of Sister Sledge and Sheila & B. Devotion, and ooh, producer of Boiwe, Duran, madonna blah blah blah. Speaking of, Duran Duran get a 5th top 20 from the current album, I don't think they've done that since...ever! Their producer on it deserves an artist credit - cos it's Giorgio Moroder, 50 years on from Son Of My father and What's Your Name becoming the first synth-based big hits for Chicory Tip.
Betty Boo's still Doin' The Do over 32 years on, as new single Shining Star drops in after an absence of 30 years or so from my charts, and another track from the Vegas Elvis movie biography enters at 67 courtesy of PNAU mashing up and remixing Elvis' signature tune, Suspicious Minds (which has charted many times since 1969) with the In The Ghetto B side Any Day Now. Picture this: 1969, September, Changi evening streetmarket, sweltering humid Singapore, and an 11-year-old boy finds a record stall. Overcome with the excitement of being able to afford new records for the time ever, thanks to 10 shillings donated by his great-grandparents on the family leaving the UK for 2 years, being disappointed to find they didn't have current obsession In The Year 2525 on the stall, but thrilled they had Dizzy by Tommy Roe, his previous obsession, and In The Ghetto by Elvis Presley, which his mum loved as much as he did. So he bought both, and gave Elvis to his mum (but still knowing he could play it when he wanted to). And the B side was also fabulous, it turned out. So good it charted at number one decades later in his personal charts, as did In The Ghetto. I've held an ambition to do a remix of that Elvis track Candi Staton/Source mash-up stylee, but left it so long that PNAU beat me to it. Hooray!

Hey John! Sorry for my lack of input recently but I've been really unwell recently. Back to normal now though.
Kate with another ANOTHER week at #1
Maybe you're the problem continuing it's ascent is fantastic as well. Great song honestly. It's s ahsnae it's resurgence in the official chart didn't last more than two minutes.
Blues haven't found you yet is actually quite decent. It's played all the time on the radio in my work.
Nice chart
Great to see the PNAU remix of the Elvis track here too, not a fan of his stuff really or voice but it's a good reworking.
Hey there John
Fab to see Paul McCartney so high this week! I really need to catch up on his Glastonbury set - I only managed to catch Kendrick at the time this year.
Also pleased to see Confidence Man entering, the accompanying album was pretty good fun *.*
Great chart
Hi there John!
Nice to see "Running Up That Hill" at the top, the big gains for "TONIGHT UNITED", "I Ain't Worried", "Vision Thing", "Out Of Time" and "Afraid To Feel" and the debuts for "Don't Fly Away (PNAU Remix)" and "Luvin U Is Easy".
Great chart!
