It's been an erratic climb, but after it finally gets released (and so late it missed the UK Top 40) Capital Cities worldwide smash hits my top. A big raspberry to Radio One who feel it wouldnt appeal to it's core target age group. It has everywhere else... They'll be playing theme tunes to Spongebob Squarepants and Teletubbies next in a failed effort to reduce the listener average age (BTW that wouldn't work either, cos Spongebob is fab and also appeals to the over 30's!).

 

Pet Shop Boys 4th single off Electric gets played on Radio 2 and shoots back up my charts (Radio 2 is fab, just wish the listeners bought singles), joining CHVRCHES , Gavin DeGraw and Drake for a varied new look to the Top 10.

 

Highest new entry is Cher. She's 67. She was getting playlisted on Radio One when she was a mere youngster of 52, and becoming the biggest selling pop song on the planet that year. She's had number ones in my charts in the 70's, 80's and 90's, and would have had two in the 60's had I been compiling charts then (with Sonny) cos I loved (Sonny &) Cher as a kiddie, teen, young adult, adult, and beyond.

 

Sneaking in at the bottom end are 2 80's regulars, Boy George & Dave (Eurythmics) Stewart, and 70's forgotten Beatles proteges Badfinger. This track was a US hit, and last week was the featured song for the series end of Breaking Bad (and is selling pretty well as a result). Badfinger were hit by the financial troubles of Apple Records, and both of the band leaders ended up committing suicide. They hit my number one in 1971 with No Matter What and achieved songwriter immortality with Without You, as definitively covered by Nilsson (and killed by mariah carey).

Hi, John!

I'm very pleased to see Capital Cities are at No.1! And you know why. They spent 5 weeks at No.1 in my Chart. Looks like it was a grower for you. 13 weeks in the Chart before finally getting to No.1

THURSDAY is another amazing track in your Chart.

I love Badfinger. I've got 2 of their albums on CD: No Dice and Straight Up. Very Beatles-like band and very talented music writers. It's a pity they didn't receive the fame they deserved.

I heard that Boy George new song. Truth to tell i was a bit disappointed. Something wrong with his voice now. He sounds different from what he used to be and not the sort of what i liked about him. Looks like his best days are over.

Thanks Andrey, yes Capital Cities is your daughters birthday Number One for you! Its a great pop record B-)

 

I love Badfinger too, the good news is they just made 73 in the official UK Top 75, enough for them to register for the first time in 41 years with a track that may be old but isnt a re-entry/re-issue, that's quite a record in itself. I have Straight Up on vinyl, there's a good track on it I think called We're For The Night or something like that that should have been a single. I love No Matter What, Day After Day, Without You and Macca's song Come And Get It... B-)

 

Boy George's voice has gone all deep, like Elton's did at his age, which is a disappointment in both cases, they just don't quite sound right I know what you mean. Mind you marianne faithful's voice went through the biggest change of all, from sweetly angelic, to drug n booze-razzled rasp, and she went on to make good records anyway!

 

cheers!

I love Badfinger too, the good news is they just made 73 in the official UK Top 75, enough for them to register for the first time in 41 years with a track that may be old but isnt a re-entry/re-issue, that's quite a record in itself. I have Straight Up on vinyl, there's a good track on it I think called We're For The Night or something like that that should have been a single. I love No Matter What, Day After Day, Without You and Macca's song Come And Get It... B-)

 

Boy George's voice has gone all deep, like Elton's did at his age, which is a disappointment in both cases, they just don't quite sound right I know what you mean. Mind you marianne faithful's voice went through the biggest change of all, from sweetly angelic, to drug n booze-razzled rasp, and she went on to make good records anyway!

 

cheers!

Thank you, John for very warm words. I'm very pleased that you remember "Safe and Sound" has been No.1 in my Chart on a day my daughter was born.

I wonder what was the case why Badfinger re-entered the national Chart? Did they reissue their catalogue or what?

You're absolutely right on voices changes with the age. Unfortunately it happens with everyone at some certain point (after 50). Perhaps one day we will hear of a brand new voice-decoder that makes artist voice sounds younger. Someone would say it's against the nature, but i like the idea. As well as the idea that people must live much longer.

Hi AH, thanks for that, I was also sure Capital Cities would be a hit - I think they missed the window of opportunity by delaying release so long, people hear it on holiday and want to buy it when they get back. When you can't you eventually forget about it and get excited about something else newer :(

 

No Visage yet, I' afraid - I did youtube your recent Visage entry but it didnt leap out at me right away and I havent gone back to it yet (I tend to buy anything I like the sound of, or growing on me, about 10 a week and I make cd's for the car shuffling the order each week of the extra tracks, favourite first :lol: )

 

cheers!

john
