Posted September 1, 201311 yr 1st September 2013 It was a very close Top 4, but Pet Shop Boys get that number one slot for the 41st time with a literate witty catchy classically-riffed ditty. I've lost count, actually, but the topper run is from January 1986, includes most years that they have released an album (and more) and they've had multiple toppers each of the last 4 decades, not to mention loads with and for other acts. I'm a fan. The only active artist I'm even more of a fan of is Paul McCartney, who has a surprise poppy Mark-Ronson-produced "New" Top 40 hit - it's been many a long year since Macca did a chirpy single. Macca topped my first compiled chart with a band called The Beatles, who would also have been topping my charts in 1963 (had I been compiling them) - I went to the cinema to see A Hard Days Night in 1964 at age 6, I got quite worried when John Lennon appeared to have been sucked down the bath plug-hole. A memory that stuck with me! 50 years a fan, but there's an older act in the Top 20 - Duane Eddy from the actual 1950's. Paul? He's just a youngster! Highest new entry is the hot Naughty Boy (and Emeli), while La La La goes up (because I still love it to absolute bits) and becomes the biggest chart-points record of 2013, just ahead of Postiljonen. It's a crime the album didnt go to number one this week! Elsewhere Ub40 get their 5th hit of the year with a cover of Paul davidson's reggae cover of the Allman Brothers early 70's hippie rock American hit. The reggae version is better. Prefab Sprout chart for the first time in over a decade, always classy, and nearly 30 years of chart hits. Just outside the 75 are several good UK chart hits about to storm the chart (Ive just heard them properly!)

September 1, 201311 yr Hi John, Yay for Pet Shop Boys, I downloaded the EP earlier, mainly for the b-sides (I always get them) but a shorter version of the song was of interest to me too. Big drop for their other track though! Liking most of the rest of the top ten, that's my favourite song by Tears For Fears :D

The Penelopes remix is one I want too as I saw them support Human League last December B-) I adore that Tears For Fears song, it's attempting a 3rd time at number one in my chart...! cheers! john

September 3, 201311 yr Author Hi John, my faves: Great chart as always! So how many PSB tracks have hit No.1 in your chart? I'm intrigued. Despite being my favourite pop group, they've surprisingly not had many in mine, the last being Flamboyant in 2004! :D Thanks AH, PSB's your fave too? hooray! Ive lost count to be honest, but I'll do a bit of research - last time I checked they were pretty much in a 3-way tie with The Beatles and Abba (including solo stuff and spin-offs). In the 80's I only allowed official singles to chart, and pretty much everything they released (bar 2) topped my chart (there would have been album tracks too if I'd allowed), the 90's they started to get less certain of a number one, but they'd had another 8 or so before they became less frequent in the mid-90's, but still had another 4 or 5 I think. In the 00's I allowed album tracks from Top 75 albums and B sides which added to the singles tally (not counting re-issues of former toppers) and they got a new lease of life really, averaging 2 or 3 per album (only the acoustic-based album had no number ones on it). so if i guessed, it must be well over 40! Quite a few acts have 20-odd toppers but only The Big Three are over 40! I counted - it's 41! cheers! john Edited September 4, 201311 yr by popchartfreak
