Posted March 15, 201510 yr 15th February 2015 It’s Calvin Harris getting his second number one, but this time it’s not Hurts, it’s another “H”, Haim. The pattern is clear! It’s a terrific record and has finally made the UK Top 40, after being in the sales Top 40 charts a few weeks. Stevie Nicks has that rhythm, and she finally gets into the top 5, 34 years on, with Edge Of Seventeen. Marlon Roudette hasn’t had to wait quite so long, but it’s still taken 22 weeks to peak at 5, I’ve never gotten bored with it any stage. Highest new entry? Phil Spector’s classic, Dirty Dancing-used, TV advert pushed, Brian Wilson all-time fave (yes him at 18), Be My Baby by The Ronettes. The record would have been number one in my charts for weeks and weeks in 1966 (had I been doing charts) as dad bought the record when we lived in Liverpool and got our first record player, and I was a bit mad on it. It finally topped my chart as an oldie in 1974, so that’s a 41-year gap for a 52-year-old girl-group classic. Paloma is singing in Bournemouth tonight, and shoots up to 16 even though I couldn’t get tickets to watch Beauty Remains done live. Last night, though, I did get to see actual legend Morrissey in concert, as irascible, witty and political as always. He has an enormous catalogue of classic hits, sadly he chose not to do any faves of mine, bar one, in favour of his new album. On the plus side, his pre-show videos had a handful of fab oldies for me to search out and download - the man has taste when he’s passionate about music. Which explains Charles Aznavour and Tim Buckley, father of Jeff (both of them dying young) as new entries. There would have been another had I been able to find out who the punk-bhangra singer was! Train are back, the long run of chart entries gets longer, with Bulletproof Picasso at 23, and Sigma and Labrinth both add to theirs, together Higher at 27. Ace Of Base go top 40 for the first time since the 90’s, Jess Glynne wants to Hold My hand at 30, and Mumford And Sons have a welcome return, Believe it! Shayne Ward has unlikely return of the week, and Bryan Ferry extends his run of chart entries to oooh, a mere 43 years. Gosh! He’s Driving Me Wild, in a very low-key way. Marvin Gaye gave it up a long time ago, but his family crossed some blurred lines recently, which boosted sales of the 1977 soul disco classic enough to hit the sales charts lower down, and re-enter mine 38 years on. 1 2 1 6 PRAY TO GOD Calvin Harris featuring HAIM 404600 2 1 1 8 OUTLINES Mike Mago and Dragonette 540000 3 3 1 4 LOST STARS Adam Levine 358000 4 7 4 3 EDGE OF SEVENTEEN Stevie Nicks 128250 5 17 5 22 WHEN THE BEAT DROPS OUT Marlon Roudette 455450 6 NEW 6 1 BE MY BABY The Ronettes 55000 7 24 7 3 KING Years And Years 74000 8 8 8 5 HOLD TIGHT Madonna 168900 9 4 2 7 RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW Giorgio Moroder featuring Kylie Minogue 480000 10 6 4 9 LIVING FOR LOVE Madonna 264650 11 13 11 6 WE’RE ALL WE NEED Above & Beyond featuring Zoe Johnston 149050 12 20 12 4 STYLE Taylor Swift 79000 13 5 5 3 TOWARDS THE SUN Rihanna 152000 14 10 6 9 I BET MY LIFE Imagine Dragons 290000 15 11 7 6 UMA THURMAN Fall Out Boy 224000 16 72 16 3 BEAUTY REMAINS Paloma Faith 36200 17 9 2 8 LOVE ME LIKE YOU DO Ellie Goulding 366100 18 18 18 2 THE RIGHT TIME Brian Wilson featuring Al Jardine and David Marks 44000 19 26 19 4 FALLING AWAKE The Kaiser Chiefs 63400 20 27 20 4 BABY LOVE Petite Meller 66900 21 14 1 6 SPEED KILLS 10CC 521750 22 15 10 7 WHAT I DID FOR LOVE David Guetta featuring Emeli Sande 175500 23 NEW 23 1 BULLETPROOF PICASSO Train 19250 24 25 24 6 HERE I GO AGAIN Archie Bell And The Drells 97500 25 19 19 2 LOVE IS A DRUG Markus Feehily 39750 26 16 6 7 THE NIGHTS Avicii 254500 27 NEW 27 1 HIGHER Sigma featuring Labrinth 18400 28 56 28 3 WOULD YOU BELIEVE Ace Of Base 38900 29 21 9 7 SUGAR Maroon 5 172150 30 65 30 2 HOLD MY HAND Jess Glynne 25000 31 23 1 4 YOU DON’T OWN ME Lesley Gore 257150 32 32 32 2 THEY DON’T KNOW The Disciples 35600 33 48 33 4 WHAT KIND OF MAN Florence And The Machine 54600 34 22 3 12 EARNED IT (FIFTY SHADES OF GREY) The Weeknd 571100 35 39 35 2 LONG STRETCH OF LOVE Lady Antebellum 34600 36 30 20 5 TEACH ME Bakermat 80600 37 49 37 3 SACRED Erasure 46400 38 41 1 13 GHOSTTOWN Madonna 828200 39 40 39 2 STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU Electro Velvet 34100 40 12 8 10 SOLID GOLD EASY ACTION T.Rex 351000 41 31 1 11 INSIDE OUT Spoon 410350 42 33 2 8 BACK HOME (MATOMA REMIX) MYNGA featuring Cosmo Klein 402950 43 45 43 2 SUGAR DADDY Spada 26500 44 67 44 2 KING OF THE WORLD Blue 19850 45 29 26 4 WINDFALL TheFatRat 66800 46 46 46 2 YOUNG AMERICANS David Bowie 25500 47 50 47 4 MIRROR MAN Ella Henderson 46000 48 NEW 48 1 BELIEVE Mumford And Sons 12300 49 36 1 17 LOVE ME HARDER Ariana Grande featuring The Weeknd 717600 50 54 50 3 SOMETHING FROM NOTHING Foo Fighters 29200 51 34 34 5 LANA DEL DRE Tep No 71750 52 52 7 13 FADE TO GREY (ORCHESTRAL VERSION) Visage 284650 53 53 53 3 MASTER PRETENDER First Aid Kit 29500 54 37 12 7 THE BALLAD OF THE MIGHTY I Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds 149850 55 28 15 9 COMING WITH YOU Ne-Yo 143500 56 35 35 5 MINE Phoebe Ryan 68700 57 38 1 21 TAKE ME TO CHURCH Hozier 893050 58 60 58 11 ALFIE Cilla Black 78800 59 NEW 59 1 GOLD Andreya Triana 10100 60 59 1 13 UPTOWN FUNK!
