Posted August 26, 201213 yr Well, still lots of Olympic oldies entering the chart (they are all bubbling under the Top 75 in the real world), but Pet Shop Boys get another 2012 Number One with their Robin Gibb tribute. Big jumps for fun, Lawson, Owl City, and Little Mix. I resist XFactor records on the whole, but this is a good pop song, obviously Number 1 next week. Pet Shop Boys now have 5 tracks on the chart, 4 new and one Olympic oldie... 1 1 3 I STARTED A JOKE Pet Shop Boys 400000 2 2 4 LITTLE TALKS Of Monsters And Men 205400 3 3 5 SOME NIGHTS fun. 133500 4 1 2 RUNNING UP THAT HILL (DEAL WITH GOD 2012 REMIX) Kate Bush 210000 5 1 7 UNDER THE WESTWAY Blur 411000 6 6 13 STAYIN' ALIVE The Bee Gees 341850 7 7 8 SURVIVAL Muse 223200 8 5 7 FOREIGN FIELDS Elton John vs Pnau 280800 9 1 44 PRINCESS OF CHINA Coldplay/ Rihanna 3186400 10 10 7 RUNAWAYS The Killers 159750 11 1 3 A CERTAIN "JE NE SAIS QUOI" Pet Shop Boys 292000 12 12 6 BLOW ME (ONE LAST KISS) P!nk 113600 13 5 10 BABY COME HOME Scissor Sisters 422100 14 14 14 A HORSE WITH NO NAME America 303250 15 15 11 OUR HOUSE Madness 171450 16 2 14 50 WAYS TO SAY GOODBYE Train 726500 17 17 2 TAKING OVER ME Lawson 28200 18 18 4 GOOD TIMES Owl City/ Carly Rae Jepson 49400 19 5 8 THAT GIRL Noisettes 314250 20 10 4 FIRST STEPS Elbow 99100 21 21 2 WATERLOO SUNSET The Kinks 38750 22 1 10 SAD Elton John vs Pnau 778500 22 15 4 PHOENIX Elton John vs Pnau 90650 23 23 8 WHITE LIGHT George Michael 113550 24 24 4 INVINCIBLE Lemar 60900 25 4 14 WHEN THEY FIGHT, THEY FIGHT The Generationals 539250 26 26 2 CELEBRATE Mika/Pharrell Williams 37000 27 17 6 TRAVELIN' BOY Rumer 118650 28 28 2 THE WAY THROUGH THE WOODS Pet Shop Boys 30600 29 29 16 VENUS Shocking Blue 226750 30 30 1 WINGS Little Mix 18000 32 7 8 WIDE AWAKE Katy Perry 245400 33 1 17 SOLDIERS Abba 833150 34 3 22 DRIVE BY Train 722450 35 4 11 BLACK HEART StooShe 332600 36 36 5 WE'LL BE COMING BACK Calvin Harris/ Example 54850 37 19 7 NO CHURCH IN THE WILD Jay-Z/ Kanye West/ Frank Ocean 102800 38 38 3 UNDER THE SUN Cheryl 31600 39 39 1 WEST END GIRLS Pet Shop Boys 17100 40 40 8 UNFINISHED SYMPATHY Massive Attack 73000[/size] 41 18 5 SPRINGSTEEN Eric Church 76600 42 1 24 ANYONE WHO HAD A HEART Cilla Black 775950 43 4 8 WINNER Pet Shop Boys 284000 44 44 1 LOST INSIDE OF YOU Emilia Mitiku 13250 45 3 14 RESCUE ME Gemma Ray 813700 46 1 13 ANOTHER DAY Paul McCartney 632500 47 38 2 ONE DAY LIKE THIS Elbow 29700 48 48 1 COLOR ON THE WALL (DON'T STOP) Foster The People 12300 49 49 3 HEROES David Bowie 26300 50 50 6 30 MINUTE LOVE AFFAIR Paloma Faith 51700 51 1 41 I SAY A LITTLE PRAYER Aretha Franklin 1397600 52 28 3 COME TOGETHER The Arctic Monkeys 47700 53 9 9 SPECTRUM (SAY MY NAME) Florence & The Machine 261400 54 1 31 SOMEBODY THAT I USED TO KNOW Gotye/Kimbra 1591800 55 4 18 TOO CLOSE Alex Clare 446400 56 13 13 CHASING THE SUN The Wanted 227050 57 57 3 (I'M NOT YOUR) STEPPIN' STONE The Monkees 22800 58 1 65 GOD ONLY KNOWS The Beach Boys 1559850 59 1 85 BAKER STREET Gerry Rafferty 1902950 60 60 2 READ ALL ABOUT IT PART 3 Emelie Sande 16400 61 27 6 TURN UP THE RADIO Madonna 88000 62 1 17 SHOULD I LAUGH OR CRY Abba 631950 63 63 2 BACK TO LIFE Soul II Soul/ Caron Wheeler 12800 64 27 6 VEGAS GIRL Conor Maynard 69850 65 6 16 PAYPHONE Maroon 5/ Wiz Khalifa 396000 66 39 4 LAURA Bat For Lashes 46800 67 67 3 TUBULAR BELLS Mike Oldfield 17600 68 68 1 RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW Fatboy Slim 6400 69 45 16 I DON'T WANT TO KNOW Fleetwood Mac 145100 70 70 1 SPICE UP YOUR LIFE The Spice Girls 6000 71 71 1 WE ARE NEVER EVER GETTING BACK TOGETHER Taylor Swift 5800 72 72 1 PINBALL WIZARD The Who 5600 73 73 1 WHEN SHE WAS MINE Lawson 5400 74 74 1 HOW WE DO (PARTY) Rita Ora 5200 75 75 2 HELTER SKELTER The Beatles 10000 Edited August 26, 201213 yr by popchartfreak

August 27, 201213 yr Author I let you in on a little secret I grew up listening to the Pet Shop Boys, oops showing my age now, they have always been my guilty pleasure for the past 25 years plus :lol: Great chart again, I love the old tracks, maybe it needs a bit of the Buggles :lol: Thanks Martin, the new Muse track is a departure, but I like it. Muse records always tend to sound better as the years go by, which is a good sign...:) Pet Shop Boys have never let the standards slip, which is why theyve lasted 25 years:) A lot of my friends hate Neil Tennant's voice, and the dance nature of many of their records, but the songs are pure class, which is why the music biz respects them so much. There arent many 80's acts that could draft in Brandon Flowers and Gaga to sing with them at an awards ceremony (BRITS). Madonna certainly couldn't! The Buggles made my chart some years back (as well as 1979:) Their good follow-up singles haven't yet though...! cheers john
August 27, 201213 yr Author [ Great Chart! :) thanks ken (?):) I'm always impressed by the variety and number of stuff you like that I list! cheers! john
