20th March 2016

 

It’s Vaults for a 2nd week ahead of a resurgent Pet Shop Boys and a very 80’s chart. Not only are there actual 80’s tracks, there are many a regular 70‘s/80’s veteran in the chart doing well - just count all the acts who were around then but with new material! - but thanks to the soundtrack to Fly (the Eddie The Eagle movie) Gary Barlow has worked with a whole album-worth of 80’s acts on new material for the film. That leads most noticeably to the first chart return in over 20 years for Go West (who I saw in concert last year), Midge Ure, OMD (both have topped my chart in recent years), and in at 24 with their first chart entry with new material in a whopping 30 years, Heaven 17. That’s the length of time contemporaries Pet Shop Boys have been having number ones in my charts!

 

That’s not all, though, Squeeze are back and new at 5 with the highest new entry, a sort of fab mellow almost-bossa-nova nirvana. That’s their first top 10 in over 20 years, and 38 years since their first. All Saints get a first top in 10 years, Bo Saris leaps to 10 from 67 thanks to a car advert, and Primal Scream grab another top 20 26 years on from their first. The veterans are back on form collectively for sure, as ELO and Bryan Adams (also Jeff Lynne) pop in, Gwen Stefani gets another top 10 almost 2 decades on, a-ha leap into the 30 30 years on, and Nile Rodgers just keeps adding to his long list of featuring’s with Laura Mvula grabbing a second top 40. James also replace themselves in the chart, just to rub it in. Oh, and Westlife’s Markus Feehily gets a second big top 40 entry as he decides passion is better than stools on stage.

Thanks Harry, I was glad I hung around after BJSC dubtrack for that Vaults track, totally worth it fabness! Thanks for the tip and entering it :yahoo: :heart:

 

I get all sad playing Viola Beach, great record but so tragic.

 

Glad you like the bottom 3 entries, they should be way higher but my charts are just SO full! :lol:

Good chart! :D

 

Hi Jason, thanks! And yes I always thought the lyrics might hold back Mike Posner on radio - mind you that never stopped E's are good Ebeneezer Goode back in the 90's, and they get round it with a title change!

 

Markus is a good singer shock! I never had much time for Westlife, but he does have that gospel/soul thing going on, as you say

 

cheers!

Hi John *.*

 

Nice to see Faded still slaying and also the Restrung version. it's quite a nice addition to the already two versions out but it's not as good as either of them. The single version remains my favourite.

 

oh is Moth To The Flame still growing on you. Quite impressive to see it climbing slowly but surely after limping in 5 weeks ago *.*

 

great chart :D

Hi James,

 

sorry for the delayed reply, been away this Easter, busy busy! Moth To The Flame is such a subtle record it's easy to under-rate it, but I'm still not getting bored with it, and it's hanging in there where most of the BJSC rivals have dropped out :yahoo:

 

cheers!
