Posted November 15, 20159 yr 15th November 2015 2 weeks at 1 for the brilliant Coldplay new single, nothing like any of their previous singles, it’s so intricate and joyously irresistible, multiple hooks galore both instrumental and the main vocal melodies. Straight in at 2, it’s the perennial British bridesmaids, Hurts, with a glorious power ballad, Wings, and their 3rd in a row to hit my top 3 in 2015. Hugely popular in parts of Europe, fabulous live, great albums, and the UK remains stubbornly ignorant of one of our best acts of this century, which, given the drivel that occupies a fair portion of the singles chart, makes me rather peed off. Staying at 3, it’s the fabulous Heaven, with that sexy throbbing teasing class dance track from Shaun Frank, KSHMR and Delaney. To be honest, in normal times any of the top 10 could be topping my chart quite happily, while the track at 40 would be around 15 spots higher, and the one at 75 should be scraping on the doors of the top 40. So many great records around that I’ve bought, I’ve had to give up and admit defeat and expand my chart to 100 for the first time since 1983 to catch good tracks that just can’t get into the 75 after weeks of hanging around. The number 100 would generally be inside the top 75 comfortably. Sigma and Rita Ora move into the 10, ELO get a 2nd top 10 of the year with the very 70’s ELO sounding One Step At A Time - if I have one complaint, it’s my MP3 download sounds like it’s been recorded with ear muffs around the mixing deck. Which brings me to another complaint I have with MP3’s from itunes: so many tracks start and continue with what sounds like vinyl record hiss, clicks and pops, and it is really pissing me off - there is no need for all of this fake extraneous pretentious background noise, and I’m going to stop buying any artist that insists on doing it, it’s not clever and it’s doesn’t make them sound “classic”, just annoying. So there, naming names Olly Murs, CeeLo, Selena Gomez, Breakdlaw, and other assorted pop and dance tracks. New entries: Noel Gallagher gets another high flying new entry off his latest album, while also oldie Oasis charting in the UK thanks to John Lewis, Half The World Away, is in belatedly at 95. It’s a very Kylie early Christmas too, with 3 new entries, a sweet cover of Yazoo’s 1982 chart-topper Only You at 29 with comedian/host/actor James Corden, a song new to me, but classic xmas sounding, at 34 White December, and finally 100 degrees with sister Dannii returning after a long break at 81. It’s a dance number and if anyone can tell which one is which, got better ears than me! Others: Shane Filan and Nadine Coyle have a duet, Matrix & Futurebound are back, ditto Simply Red’s 70’s soul groove, and Panic! At The Disco’s rocking out, not to mention crazy Paloma Faith’s theme toon, Life Of Dillon’s return, and oldies from Stevie Wonder, For Once In My Life is back after first charting in 1969, 1960’s oldie The Wanderer is back for Dion thanks to an advert for some computer game or other, and charting for the first time since 1976, while the Back To The Future 30th “anniversary” got Huey Lewis into the UK sales charts, and a bit late into mine, 30 years on since it last exited. 1 1 1 2 ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME Coldplay 340000 2 NEW 2 1 WINGS Hurts 115000 3 3 3 4 HEAVEN Shaun Frank & KSHMR featuring Delaney 270000 4 2 1 11 QUEEN OF PEACE Florence + The Machine 1545000 5 4 1 4 HELLO Adele 410000 6 7 6 8 CHAMAK CHALLO CHEL CHABELI Kumar Sanu, Shreya Ghoshal & Sajid - Wajid 234250 7 5 5 4 CIRCLES Truls 218000 8 6 3 5 HAPPINESS IAMX 243000 9 24 9 2 COMING HOME Sigma & Rita Ora 64000 10 NEW 10 1 ONE STEP AT A TIME Jeff Lynne’s ELO 42000 v5y3VomnDPA 11 8 8 3 ECHOES IN RAIN Enya 122000 12 9 9 4 MUSIC TO MY SOUL CeeLo Green 124750 13 16 13 3 LET IT HAPPEN Tame Impala 75000 14 11 3 7 BLACK SOAP Ex Cops 338500 15 28 15 4 SUPERHEATED New Order featuring Brandon Flowers 80300 16 17 16 4 SAME OLD LOVE Selena Gomez 83800 17 19 17 9 THE RAIN THE PARK AND OTHER THINGS The Cowsills 163800 18 18 18 4 USED TO LOVE YOU Gwen Stefani 85250 19 13 10 7 EX’S AND OH’S Elle King 158200 20 21 20 5 WAVES DANCE WITH THE DEAD 84050 uy0oWuhTzh8 21 10 4 5 HEY BOY Take That 210750 22 15 9 7 HERE FOR YOU Kygo featuring Ella Henderson 177550 23 12 4 11 WILDEST DREAMS Taylor Swift 331700 24 NEW 24 1 THE DYING OF THE LIGHT Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds 19000 25 14 2 11 CRASH AND BURN Thomas Rhett 805750 26 20 20 8 HOLY HOLY Orenda Fink 139100 27 30 27 3 IMMORTALS Jean-Michel Jarre & f*** Buttons 47000 28 29 28 7 LOVE ME LIKE YOU Little Mix 101900 29 NEW 29 1 ONLY YOU Kylie Minogue featuring James Corden 18200 30 35 30 2 BURNING LOVE Elvis Presley with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra 35500 107C8PMY8cM 31 39 31 3 GO!
