2012 Number Ones

As I allow oldies into my charts, if released physically, or making the Archive Top 40 or Singles Top 100, or album tracks on album charts (not before charted) these are my actual number ones in 2012:

6* PRINCESS OF CHINA Coldplay/ Rihanna

1 THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY Katy Perry

1 I SAY A LITTLE PRAYER Aretha Franklin

2 AT LAST Etta James

1* TITANIUM David Guetta/ SIA

1 THE TRUCK DRIVER AND HIS MATE Pet Shop Boys

5 SOMEBODY THAT I USED TO KNOW Gotye/Kimbra

1 I DIDN'T GET WHERE I AM TODAY Pet Shop Boys

1 IF IT WASN'T FOR THE NIGHTS Abba

1 JEEPSTER T.Rex

1 HIT AND MISS Pet Shop Boys

1 STARMAN David Bowie

1 GIRLS DON'T CRY Pet Shop Boys

1 SHOULD I LAUGH OR CRY Abba

1 ANOTHER DAY Paul McCartney

1 ANYONE WHO HAD A HEART Cilla Black

1 SOLDIERS Abba

2 SAD Elton John vs Pnau

(* plus one additional week to add for 2011)

Showing the problem with allowing classic oldies. They hog the number one slot from new ones!

Without them the new/current number ones in my chart this year would look like this...

9** PRINCESS OF CHINA Coldplay/ Rihanna

1 THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY Katy Perry

1 DEDICATION TO MY EX (MISS THAT) Lloyd/ Andre 3000/ Lil Wayne

3* TITANIUM David Guetta/ SIA

1 NO LIGHTS, NO LIGHTS Florence + The Machine

9 SOMEBODY THAT I USED TO KNOW Gotye/Kimbra

3 WE ARE YOUNG fun./Janelle Monet

2 SAD Elton John vs Pnau

(* plus 1 additional week august 2011 total 4)

(** plus 2 additional weeks Dec 2011 total 11)

(Elton isn't a remix, it's a re-imagining, so I'm counting it as new as it's nothing like the originals)
