Posted May 17, 201510 yr 17th May 2015 It’s Brandon Flowers second number one of the year, his 3rd solo topper, and his 4th in total including the Killers, with the fabulous Bronski Beat sampling I Can Change, which means Jimmy Somerville not only had to wait 31 years to get a number one from his debut Smalltown Boy, he then only had to wait another 3 weeks for a second (sort of) based loosely around said first hit. Hot Chocolate, and the late Errol Brown, get knocked off the top only to go up to join themselves in the top 3 with the 1970 Love Is Life, as they push out Brandon Flowers previous number one to 4. Just to keep the repeat themes going, and the tributes, the late Lesley Gore hit number one a couple of months ago with You Don’t Own me, her fab 60’s defiant girl-power ballad, and now it’s back updated by Grace, the highest new entry at 5. Jax Jones enters at 7 with a Massive Attack-borrowed riff, the soulful fabulous Yeah Yeah Yeah, the vocal hook sampling Nina Simone’s 50-year-old Be My Husband, which was co-incidentally written by her then-husband. As I’ve given Nina a featuring credit (I always do where the main vocal of a song is a key sample, but not where the hook is more of a template, so nothing for Massive Attack or Jimmy Somerville) that also means she has a 47-year span of new chart entries (she hit number one for me in late 68 with Ain’t Got No..I Got Life, before it took 30-odd years to come back big again). That makes Nina the new record-holder if I discount Paul McCartney as part of The Beatles. Freemasons get another top 10, having had 2 previous chart-toppers in the noughties, and FFS hit 15, giving Franz Ferdinand their biggest hit in years, and Sparks a run of 41 years of top 20 hits. They hit the top 20 in every decade since topping in 1974. Never huge, but always consistent and always back with interesting stuff. Elsewhere: 4 Brandon tracks in the charts, Leona Lewis is back with one of her better singles, and Quo keep the 1974 theme going as their hit from the spring of 74 returns acoustic and live, Break The Rules, boys! 1 2 1 3 I CAN CHANGE Brandon Flowers 276000 2 1 1 2 SO YOU WIN AGAIN Hot Chocolate 285000 3 6 3 2 LOVE IS LIFE Hot Chocolate 120000 4 3 1 6 CAN’T DENY MY LOVE Brandon Flowers 415200 5 NEW 5 1 YOU DON’T OWN ME Grace featuring G-Eazy 60000 6 8 6 4 COOL Alesso featuring Roy English 126200 7 NEW 7 1 YEAH YEAH YEAH Jax Jones featuring Nina Simone 50000 8 4 2 6 LOVE REVOLUTION Will Young 445000 9 5 1 6 SOME WONDER Jimmy Somerville 480000 10 30 10 5 TRUE LOVE SURVIVOR Freemasons featuring Solah 82050 11 19 11 5 CAN’T STOP PLAYING (MAKES ME HIGH) Dr. Kucho! and Gregor Salton featuring Ane Brun 105200 12 10 2 6 OVERLOADED Life Of Dillon 392000 13 9 9 5 KINGS & QUEENS Brooke Fraser 154300 14 14 14 15 HERE I GO AGAIN Archie Bell And The Drells 304500 15 40 15 3 JOHNNY DELUSIONAL FFS (Franz Ferdinand and Sparks) 54200 16 7 4 10 BELIEVE Mumford And Sons 284200 17 17 17 5 HOME Max Jury 84500 18 23 18 4 LOVE LIKE MINE Miami Horror featuring Cleopold 69450 19 11 1 7 LOVE MERA HIT HIT (BILLU BARBER ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK) Neeraj Shridhar and Tulsi Kumar 556750 20 29 20 4 ARE YOU READY Texas 60900 21 12 9 4 THE WAY YOU ARE (DENMARK) Anti Social Media 112250 22 18 14 9 RIVERMAN Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds 208900 23 15 15 6 WE HAVE TO TALK About The Girl 142500 24 13 13 6 UNDAUNTED Wibi Soerjadi 161500 25 34 25 2 SHIP TO WRECK Florence And The Machine 36350 26 22 8 8 LOVE IS A DRUG Markus Feehily 159900 27 28 27 5 SHE’S NOT THERE The Zombies 90000 28 RE 28 4 I’M IN LOVE Zhala 59300 29 16 8 6 FIRESTONE Kygo featuring Conrad Sewell 188200 30 33 30 4 STOLE THE SHOW Kygo featuring Parson James 48700 31 24 1 10 BE MY BABY The Ronettes 831900 32 59 32 2 LOUD PLACES Jamie xx featuring Romy 27900 33 31 1 17 OUTLINES Mike Mago and Dragonette 911550 34 61 34 2 LONELY TOWN Brandon Flowers 25100 35 38 35 20 ALFIE Cilla Black 203250 36 25 7 5 COOL ENOUGH Spada and Elen Levon 122250 37 NEW 37 1 SHUT OUT OF PARADISE SLO 17300 38 49 38 8 BILLS Lunchmoney Lewis 95100 39 21 1 12 KING Years And Years 660850 40 55 40 4 LEAN ON Major Lazer featuring MO and DJ Snake 41500 41 20 20 2 STAND BY ME Ben E.
