True class from Ms Bush :wub: but still only the second best song in the top ten :o

Damn Kate Bush not being top 5. What squeezed her out?

 

Probably Calvin Harris/Example.

Probably Calvin Harris/Example.

 

Another reason for me to dislike that track then.

 

This is so refreshing to hear. Best track in the top 10.

I don't feel I've explored Kate Bush enough, this is really good (as is Wuthering Heights obviously)

i like his piece in the song discription here but on polyhex it says that wham rap entered the uk chart in jan 1983??Young Guns entered in Oct 1982?

 

 

I was there at the time!!! My first ever gig was Wham in 1983 when I was a 14 year old!

 

George is getting a bit mixed up bless 'im. Wham Rap was indeed released in the summer of 1982 but didn't make the Top 75. I can't even say if it made the Top 100.

Young Guns became their first big hit later in 1982 reaching No.3. Due to this, Wham Rap popped out again and went Top 10 early in 1983 and the rest is history!

Hope that explains the anomaly.

I still think George is fantastic after all these years and love "White Light". Scared to think where it would have ended up without the Olympics though! Probably borderline Top 40!!!!

You absolutely haven't! She's so so good...

Running Up That Hill, pure heaven :wub:

I despise Kate Bushes voice but I actually do like 'Running Up The Hill', however I am not feeling this remix at all.

'We'll Be Coming Back', is undoubtedly a huge summer anthem. A melodic guitar-led intro gives way to a hard electro synth-fuelled chorus backed by Example's catchy, addictive vocals. From the terraces in Ibiza to the festival fields, it is set to be the soundtrack to the summer. Remixes come courtesy of Michael Woods, Killsonik, R3hab and Jacob Plant. - HMV

Ah yes thanks this explains it, so he was right to say it went to radio but they didnt have a fan base as of yet to help it climb high on the chart - a bit like releasing an ep single these days and then re-releasing it later in the release campaign - like Ben Howard nowadays with The Wolves or Florence with Dog Days are Over!!

Formed in Manchester, U.K., in the late 1990s, this five-piece rock outfit hit big with their debut album, ASLEEP AT THE BACK. Combining socially relevant lyrics concerning the contemporary British experience with complex, passionate music, they drew comparisons with both classic rock acts of previous decades--including Pink Floyd and Talk Talk--and more contemporary bands like Radiohead, while pursuing a more mainstream path than experimentally inclined millennial bands like Sigur Ros and Godspeed You Black Emperor. - HMV

It FINALLY becomes their highest charting hit... about time!

YES! This is finally top 5 - the best song on the chart by MILES.

It is extremely difficult to believe this peaked at 35 until today. Justice finally done.

So glad to see this in the top 5, an amazing song from an amazing band!

What was its peak before - like 39 or something?
