Their track is in at 52 here, along with a host of Euro-tracks, headed up by the winner, the lovely ballad by the Portugal brother-sister singer-writer low-key and non-manufactured charm of Salvador Sobral in at 30. Had I compiled a top 200 current fave tracks (too much hard work!) the UK entry would not feature in it... Another electronic music duo are in at 12, The Knocks, with a goodie. Knock Knock Who's There, as Mary Hopkin once said in her 1970 UK Eurovision song (now I could hum that one!) - answer: no-one, just The Knocks. The late Robert Miles has his 2 great singles enter my chart, topped by One And One in at 18, still lovely. Highest climber is a mid-70's American hit from Guardians Of The Galaxy, I'm very into Wham Bang Shang-A-Lang right now. In fact I'd rate it higher than both Bang Shang-A Lang by The Archies (1968) and Shang A Lang by The Bay City Rollers (1974) but not quite up to Wham! standards. There aren't enough songs about superheroes. There just aren't. We've had Supergirl (Graham Bonney) and Donovan's Sunshine Superman (which also mentioned Green Lantern), Batdance (Prince's movie theme mash-up), well at long last there's another goodie to add: Batman & Robin, all about a naughty dream. Fun n fab, and in at 32 for the wonderfully puntastically-named Cazzie Opeia & Jin x Jin (a swedish/kpop hookup) a singalong a la Charli X. 1 NEW 1 1 INTO THE FIRE VINAI featuring Anjulie 170000 2 3 2 4 BEAUTIFUL ONES Hurts 347000 3 1 1 6 FEELS LIKE SUMMER Weezer 540000 4 2 1 8 CHARIOTS Paper Route 622000 5 7 5 4 HURRICANE Drones Club 180000 6 4 3 5 IN MY WORLD Lindsey Buckingham & Christine McVie 311000 7 5 5 8 TRUTH IS A BEAUTIFUL THING London Grammar 324400 8 10 8 3 BUSTED AND BLUE Gorillaz 117000 9 6 1 8 WE GOT THE POWER Gorillaz featuring Jehnny Beth 735000 10 13 10 3 WAY BACK TLC featuring Snoop Dogg 91300 11 12 11 8 BECAUSE The Beatles 188150 12 NEW 12 1 CLASSIC The Knocks featuring Powers 35000 13 11 2 5 CRAZY (ASH HOWES RADIO EDIT) Bird 299000 14 8 5 8 WAITING FOR THE STARS Vitalic featuring David Shaw and The Beat 308200 15 9 5 8 LOST ON YOU LP 367000 16 16 16 4 PASSIONFRUIT Drake 73600 17 49 17 4 WHAM BANG SHANG-A-LANG Silver 49700 18 NEW 18 1 ONE AND ONE Robert Miles featuring Maria Naylor 22000 19 24 19 7 SYMPHONY Clean Bandit featuring Zara Larsson 111350 20 14 1 9 SEASONS (WAITING ON YOU) Future Islands 619000 21 25 21 4 LONG TIME Blondie 66200 22 15 4 8 CAN I SIT NEXT TO YOU Spoon 357500 23 17 1 9 ALONE AGAIN OR Love 706250 24 18 18 5 THUMBS Sabrina Carpenter 94100 25 29 25 4 STORY OF A HEART Steps 54850 26 21 1 14 CHAINED TO THE RHYTHM Katy Perry featuring Skip Marley 1274500 27 20 10 9 UNDER YOUR SKIN SeeB and R.

Beautiful song. Classic is a 2014 song but I didn't know it. Dance music is shining in your chart recently. Robert Miles is a dance legend. I love Children and One & One. Oh yes! Great to see the Eurovision winner at #30. It's a cute song and I like his mannerisms and charisma. Good chart!

Hi Jason, Glad you like the new number one - I must check out that video! I didn't realise Classic was from 2014, it's new to me too, and Robert Miles both those tracks went top 10 for me first time round - Children did the best, but I prefer One And One these days. I loved the Euro winner, very charming and sweet I thought. cheers! john

I think you're right about streaming and Gorillaz and Kasabian, the banishing of older acts from the singles chart has been it's second-worst feature. The closest parallel I can think of was when the British Invasion in the States decimated established American pop stars - and even there they still had minor hits. Not heard that 7th heaven remix, must check it out.. cheers! john
