The 2 Girls Alouds were Number 1's, and Cant Speak french at least went Top 10:) I really liked 2008 though - the UK music chart scene was still quite varied and interesting. These days it's slow and one-dimensional, and Radio 1 in the UK is bent on making it even more niche appeal - dance/grime or pop, rap rnb, occasional rock and nothing else. Buzzjack charts are more interesting by far.

May 28, 201312 yr Good evening, John "Poison Prince" is my clean favourite from the last part. Amy Macdonald is the best singer on current music scene. Britney Spears had top 5 hit with "Break The Ice". "Touch My Body" is my favourite Mariah Carey song and her single # 1 hit. So many Eurovision songs, but nothing from my favourites in that year. Really love these ESC entries : Andorra, Germany, Cyprus + maybe Bulgaria [3 songs didn't qualified in the final] Coldplay "Viva La Vida" - My sister loves this single, this song in her all-time top 10, maybe even top 5. "Denial" (9 weeks # 1) , "Can't Speak French" (7 weeks # 1) are very underrated here. Both songs could have 10 and maybe even more # 1 weeks, but were released in 1 month.

Thanks Alex, There will be some more eurovision songs (I think) in June as I bought the official cd's from about 2007, and they often sound better on cd than sung live (or vice versa) B-) Viva La Vida got to my number 2 on one listen (which is extremely rare for me). I actually pulled the car over to listen to it the first time I heard it on the car radio, it was so awesome (and still is) so your sister has good taste! B-) Cant Speak French had peaked inside my top 10 the month before, Denial I liked a lot but didn't love, but I must re-listen to it sometimes records improve with age...! cheers! john

August 14, 201311 yr Author AUGUST 2008 Only 5 years ago, and the great Glen was back chart-topping 40 years on with covers of Green Day, and Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, that were better IMHO (In My Humble Opinion) than the originals, while Abba were being big-timey rechartey thanks to Mamma Mia - and what better excuse for a few extra weeks at Number One for golden oldies! Pop-wise, Kylie mysteriously under-performed in the real world with a fab single (but hey, big here), joined by Gabriella Cilmi, Sharleen and a few other pop ladies. 3rd August chart GOOD RIDDANCE (TIME OF YOUR LIFE) Glen Campbell 1 1 2 4 7 VIVA LA VIDA Coldplay 2 3 4 6 6 MAMMA MIA Abba 3 4 7 13 13 THE ONE Kylie Minogue 4 5 9 16 17 THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL Abba 5 2 1 5 11 DANCING QUEEN Abba 6 7 13 21 24 WALK LIKE A MAN The Four Seasons 7 32 41 41 41 LAY YOUR LOVE ON ME BWO 8 13 18 22 35 ALL THE TIMES I CRIED Sharleen Spiteri 9 6 6 14 20 THE BULLET TRAIN The Blow Monkeys 10 10 16 24 40 SLIPPING THROUGH MY FINGERS Meryl Streep 11 16 33 47 THE WHOLE WORLD SHOULD REVOLVE AROUND ME Little Jackie 12 12 8 8 14 I CAN BE Taio Cruz 13 18 26 40 60 DIVINE (France) Sebastien Tellier 14 22 31 38 47 BELIEVE (Russia) Dima Bilan 15 41 64 CLOSER Ne-Yo 16 26 38 46 51 GIMME GIMME GIMME (A MAN AFTER MIDNIGHT) Abba 17 11 11 10 5 THE NIGHT HAS A THOUSAND EYES Bobby Vee 18 15 14 9 15 ALL SUMMER LONG Kid Rock 19 19 36 36 43 THE FIRE IN YOUR EYES (Israel) Boaz 20 23 32 39 48 PHOTOGRAPH Nickelback 21 21 42 48 58 BLACK AND GOLD Sam Sparro 22 24 24 28 32 GIVE IT 2 ME Madonna 23 42 65 65 67 BRING IT ON Leon Jean Marie 24 39 46 56 73 VIOLET HILL Coldplay 25 25 37 42 50 SHUT UP AND LET ME GO The Ting Tings 26 31 21 23 25 HAVE YOU MADE UP YOUR MIND?

September 22, 201311 yr Author SEPTEMBER 2008 When I was very much departing from the singles chart, Glen Campbell's new material impressing me much, and oldies from Dave Dee Dozy Beaky Mick & Tich. If you don't know Last Night In Soho (most likely) and you like a classic epic-sounding single, try this, it's a cinematic adventure covering a wealth of emotions and drama in 4 minutes. Probably the greatest obscure epic of all-time. Meanwhile, Keane, Oasis & Jack White keep up the rock side of things amongst the dance tracks. 7th Sept chart WALLS Glen Campbell 1 1 2 2 SPIRALLING Keane 2 7 11 13 GOOD RIDDANCE (TIME OF YOUR LIFE) Glen Campbell 3 10 17 24 GIMME GIMME GIMME (A MAN AFTER MIDNIGHT) Abba 4 4 15 36 THESE DAYS Glen Campbell 5 2 4 11 SMILIN' Bryn Christopher 6 3 3 3 BEGGIN' Madcon 7 12 12 17 CHANGES Will Young 8 8 8 8 VIVA LA VIDA Coldplay 9 11 14 19 LODI Creedence Clearwater Revival 10 35 SAVE THE LIES (GOOD TO ME) Gabriella Cilmi 11 16 23 28 CAN'T STOP MOVIN' (MIRWAIS REMIX) Sonny J 12 5 13 15 IN THIS CITY Iglu & Hartley 13 6 5 4 THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL Abba 14 21 29 31 LOVE IS NOISE The Verve 15 17 33 34 MAMMA MIA Abba 16 19 21 23 I KISSED A GIRL Katy Perry 17 32 42 42 DISTURBIA Rihanna 18 22 35 37 JOIN WITH US The Feeling 19 9 9 12 NO MILK TODAY Herman's Hermits 20 13 10 7 THE WORLD SHOULD REVOLVE AROUND ME Little Jackie 21 29 40 43 ALL THE TIMES I CRIED Sharleen Spiteri 22 31 31 33 THE ONE Kylie Minogue 23 23 26 26 STEPPING STONE Duffy 24 24 37 47 IF THIS IS LOVE The Saturdays 25 36 45 52 MAD ABOUT THE BOY Ava Leigh 26 42 65 71 THE NIGHT HAS A THOUSAND EYES Bobby Vee 27 44 GIRLS Sugababes 28 28 28 25 STICK WITH ME BABY Robert Plant/ Alison Krauss 29 18 25 35 WHEN I KISSED THE TEACHER Abba 30 26 24 21 DANCING QUEEN Abba 31 37 41 41 SHUT UP AND LET ME GO The Ting Tings 32 54 72 THE SHOCK OF THE LIGHTNING Oasis 33 14 7 5 5 YEARS' TIME Noah & The Whale 34 48 71 72 BLACK AND GOLD Sam Sparro 35 40 43 46 OH MY LIFE Beth Rowley 36 47 HAVE YOU MADE UP YOUR MIND?

September 26, 201311 yr Good evening, John. "I Kissed A Girl" is my favourite Katy Perry song. "Promise" is a little underrated. Random comeback for "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" :wub: Many Eurovision songs, but without my favourite Gisela - Casanova (Andorra). At last No Angels got their deserved place in your chart. So many ABBA songs, which related to "Mamma Mia" film, but where is Amanda Seyfried with her "Honey Honey" cover version ? Even my adorable "When I Kissed The Teacher" here. Do you have any ABBA songs, which weren't in your charts ?
September 27, 201311 yr Author Good evening, John. "I Kissed A Girl" is my favourite Katy Perry song. "Promise" is a little underrated. Random comeback for "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" :wub: Many Eurovision songs, but without my favourite Gisela - Casanova (Andorra). At last No Angels got their deserved place in your chart. So many ABBA songs, which related to "Mamma Mia" film, but where is Amanda Seyfried with her "Honey Honey" cover version ? Even my adorable "When I Kissed The Teacher" here. Do you have any ABBA songs, which weren't in your charts ? Hi Alex, The Promise will be going up in October, trust me :lol: Yes, Bonnie made the UK Archive oldies Top 40 so that was a good enough excuse for me to rechart it :lol: I buy the Eurovision cd's each year and sometimes songs that dont leap out on first hearing grow on me, and No Angels was one of those. There weren't many tracks from the film I charted, but I have the DVD of Mamma Mia which is fun. Slipping Through My Fingers is the best moment in the film for me, and I would love an excuse for Abba's version to finally get to chart (at Number 1 most likely). In the late 70's/early 80's I didnt allow album tracks or else Abba would have occupied half of the Top 20 for 6 years! In retrospect there's plenty of tracks that could still get to top my chart if they made the Archive UK Top 40, or the albums re-charted. Stuff like If It Wasn't For The Nights and many more... B-) cheers! john
October 3, 201311 yr These ABBA tracks could be in my charts (most from them on very high positions), if album tracks were allowed.

In fact Rock Me, did briefly, when I let B sides chart for a while in 1975/6, I cant remember how high though...:) cheers john
October 15, 201311 yr Author OCTOBER 2008 Lots of oldies, both vintage records and returning vintage acts back on a roll squeezing out the hit acts of the time from the top of the chart, notably Glen Campbell & Tom Jones and 2 classy ballads.

November 3, 201311 yr Author NOVEMBER 2008 Belatedly peaking at 1 (it would have done it in 1976 had it been eligible as well as 1968 had I charted a bit earlier) the forgotten epic Soho single, along with Glen Campbell's gorgeous new version of Jackson Browne's early 70's These Days, had the unfortunate effect of keeping Kanye West off the top - very much a theme sadly for Kanye singles (bar one)! Tom Jones also back (again and again) with a great song that should have been big. What applies to Kanye also sadly applies to Pink, the perennial bridesmaid in my charts, she's just never quite topped the chart but come close many times. 2nd Nov chart THESE DAYS Glen Campbell 1 1 2 2 2 LAST NIGHT IN SOHO Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich 2 2 1 1 1 LOVE LOCKDOWN Kanye West 3 3 3 3 4 IF HE SHOULD EVER LEAVE YOU Tom Jones 4 5 5 11 18 THE PROMISE Girls Aloud 5 6 6 10 12 SO WHAT Pink 6 4 4 4 9 THE LOVERS ARE LOSING Keane 7 11 17 22 39 TIMES LIKE THESE Glen Campbell 8 10 20 24 24 MILES AWAY Madonna 9 8 8 8 3 SUPERSTITION Stevie Wonder 10 7 21 38 44 NEVER MISS A BEAT Kaiser Chiefs 11 21 34 62 HOT 'N' COLD Katy Perry 12 9 7 6 6 INFINITY 2008/ INFINITY Guru Josh Project 13 12 12 16 28 UP The Saturdays 14 14 11 9 11 WALLS Glen Campbell 15 16 18 19 20 A CHANGE IS GONNA COME Seal 16 13 19 30 42 GREEN LIGHT John Legend/ Andre 3000 17 15 22 33 43 ANOTHER WAY TO DIE Jack White/ Alicia Keys 18 18 15 26 26 TIME OF THE SEASON The Zombies 19 17 16 15 14 NO ONE LIKE YOU Al Green 20 23 35 51 62 NO MILK TODAY Herman's Hermits 21 26 31 34 35 GIRLS Sugababes 22 27 42 61 67 IN THIS CITY Iglu & Hartley 23 35 61 SEX ON FIRE Kings Of Leon 24 37 40 44 50 HUMAN The Killers 25 25 13 7 7 GRANITE Pendulum 26 38 38 47 54 VIVA LA VIDA Coldplay 27 34 43 48 51 LOVE YOU ANYWAY Boyzone 28 28 28 43 46 TRAINS & WINTER RAINS Enya 29 29 27 54 65 ELUSIVE BUTTERFLY Val Doonican 30 24 24 21 19 MAMMA MIA Abba 31 32 32 35 38 COOKIE JAR Gymn Class Heroes/ The Dream 32 22 29 46 49 MISS INDEPENDANT Ne-yo 33 33 36 45 52 RAIN ON YOUR PARADE Duffy 34 30 25 25 22 BEGGIN' Madcon 35 43 51 56 61 I DON'T CARE Fall Out Boy 36 36 52 74 THIS IS MY SONG Petula Clark 37 POT KETTLE BLACK Tilly & The Wall 38 44 71 BE THE ONE The Ting Tings 39 42 66 KIDS MGMT 40 49 59 THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL Abba 41 41 41 41 41 SPIRALLING Keane 42 48 62 LOST!

January 2, 201411 yr Author DECEMBER 2008 Back to the old monthly format for these as it's a new year and I've run out of time before starting 2009 and the others! ** classic 60's pop group that-time-forgot lead off the chart-toppers, tempted to enter that into a song competition just to get it heard! ** childhood fave Elusive Butterfly gives Irish crooner Val a chart-topper, and finally Sharleen Spiteri's best solo track (off her album) ends the year off. Which means not a single new single topped my chart this month (helped by me being on holiday for 2 weeks abroad in the Canaries)! No videos, as it's too recent and you all know them, but closest to the top were Katy Perry's fab Hot n Cold, Gabriella Cilmi's minor xmas classic, and the Killers Human. There's even Miley Cyrus getting a Top 10 hit, something she's not done in 2013 at all! Gasp!
