Posted April 3, 20169 yr 3rd April 2016 It’s Squeeze finally getting that elusive chart-topper, the tuneful, retro, and classy Nirvana, almost samba stylee and with a hint of Band Of Gold’s twangy guitar and strings. Fab. They’ve only had to wait 38 years to top my charts, I’m sure they feel it was worth the wait! That leaves yet another Bowie classic leaping into the top 5, The Jean Genie had a good chart run first time round in 1972, but never quite made it into my top 10 as I saw it as a bit lesser than John I’m Only Dancing, his previous single. That mighty riff has grown with the years though, and so peaks so far at 2, same as the UK singles chart. Pet Shop Boys get 2 simultaneous tracks off the now-released Super, as B side to The Pop Kids, One-Hit Wonder, enters the 40. McAlmont & Butler return to the top 10, Yes they do, 21 years on, and Yes it’s still Fab. Tame Impala have a leap into my top 30 for the 5th time, and Chairlift finally grab a top 40 spot after climbing slowly for weeks. Gwen Stefani makes it 2 in the 40 as delightfully retro-ska album track, Where Would I Be?, is my highlight off her latest. Midge Ure adds to his total of top 40’s, a cool 40 years since he debuted as lead singer of Slik, all teen-pop and monk chanting. A lack of new entries allows me to chop the chart down to 90 at long-last, hoping to drop some more down to 75 in the next week or two, but newies are left to Culture Club’s classic Victims, back 33 years on from topping my chart; All Saints album track One Woman Man, The Chainsmokers and Rozes, AlunaGeorge popping back with Popcaan. He probably goes down well at the cinema. Lastly, Raleigh Ritchie replaces himself in my chart as he does a terrific Graham Norton performance. About time he broke big, I say. 1 2 1 3 NIRVANA Squeeze 345000 2 15 2 12 THE JEAN GENIE David Bowie 328400 302500 3 1 1 7 ONE LAST NIGHT Vaults 797000 4 3 1 7 THE POP KIDS Pet Shop Boys 632700 5 7 5 2 HAPPINESS Pet Shop Boys 110000 6 4 2 5 ANGEL OF THE MORNING Juice Newton 347000 7 5 1 12 FADED/ FADED (RESTRUNG) Alan Walker featuring Iselin Solheim 1195000 8 6 6 5 ONE STRIKE All Saints 196100 9 8 8 4 SHE’S ON FIRE Bo Saris 141600 10 17 10 2 YES McAlmont & Butler 65000 nlro9eS0Wek 11 11 11 3 THRILL ME Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark featuring Taron Egerton and Hugh Jackman 91300 12 9 9 8 WHERE THE LIGHT GETS IN Primal Scream featuring Sky Ferreira 180800 13 10 10 7 MAKE ME LIKE YOU Gwen Stefani 135600 14 20 14 5 OBJECTS IN THE MIRROR a-ha 77300 15 14 4 7 AMANECER Bomba Estereo 292000 16 13 7 6 I TOOK A PILL IN IBIZA (SEEB REMIX) Mike Posner 178800 17 22 17 4 OVERCOME Laura Mvula featuring Nile Rodgers 62000 18 12 12 3 SANCTUARY Markus Feehily featuring Clannad 92000 19 18 5 7 NEVER BE LIKE YOU Flume featuring Kai 238000 20 23 20 8 CAKE BY THE OCEAN DNCE 134650 vWaRiD5ym74 21 16 5 7 GOOD TO LOVE FKA Twigs 205350 22 35 22 4 REAL LOVE Florrie 39300 23 26 23 12 BOYS KEEP SWINGING David Bowie 187250 309900 24 21 16 7 SWINGS & WATERSLIDES Viola Beach 124800 25 19 6 5 SLIP INTO SOMETHING MORE COMFORTABLE Kinobe 186750 26 30 26 13 A DAY IN THE LIFE The Beatles 226000 27 27 19 7 THE GREATEST KING 119200 28 58 28 3 THE LESS I KNOW THE BETTER Tame Impala 38500 29 25 10 7 I’VE GOTTA BE ME Sammy Davis Jr 161100 30 52 30 7 MOTH TO A FLAME Chairlift 60300 sBzrzS1Ag_g 31 33 31 2 VENUS Frankie Avalon 35600 32 70 32 2 ONE-HIT WONDER Pet Shop Boys 23800 33 31 1 31 QUEEN OF PEACE Florence + The Machine 2845850 34 36 34 3 AIN’T IT A DRAG Jeff Lynne’s ELO 47000 35 71 35 2 WHERE WOULD I BE?

Plus he was interviewed on Radio 2 the other week and came across as so nice and down-to-earth! Looking forward to some more chart tips! :yahoo: cheers! john B-)
