Posted September 25, 20168 yr 25th September 2016 It's Kadie Elder for a 4th week on top, still loving my Top 10 finalist in the Buzzjack Song Contest. Talking of, a previous top 10 act for me Kishi Bashi has a new album out, and it's fab, the official single is in at 46, while 2 tracks pop in lower down, a very Pink Floyd-sounding at 75 and a very Jean-Michel Jarre-sounding (via orchestral avante-garde) at 78. Another BJSC act who flopped are also back, Red Sky July at 69 - former members of Texas and Alisha's Attic - and I could make comments about British country music being ageist as far as radio plays go, it doesn't escape my notice that pretty young girlie country tracks get Radio 2 play, and the older, classier country acts, errr, don't. Emelie Sande shoots up to 2, so close to nabbing the top spot in a highly active and fabulous chart (for me, at any rate!) and there are 2 brand new debuts inside the top 10, the blues-ish, quirky fab Cobi at 8, and the ballad Keane-like Tom Chaplin at 9. OK it is Keane. The lead singer having his first solo venture, and it's classic Keane. In at 11, from 1972, because I saw Albert Hammond in concert in Wimborne this week - he hasn't toured for 45 years, and moved the States in 1971 from a successful UK pop song hit-writing machine career, to launch his solo and American songwriter career, the former with initial success for 2 years, before he concentrated on songwriting. It Never rains In Southern California is his best single, I had nostalgic tears in my eyes for it, and his other early 70's singles, only one of which charted in the UK - but not this fab huge American hit which wasn't eligible for my chart at the time due to floppage. Other songs? Little Arrows, When I Need You, One Moment In Time, Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now, The Air That I Breathe, among many many others. Great to have him back! Big jumps for the Kaiser Chiefs into the 20, Billie Ray Martin into the 30, and Mel C leapfrogs herself with her new single. OneRepublic return again, along with a host of 60's tracks I discovered during AH Gold's Ultimate 60's voting. Cat Stevens is new to me, ditto Kathy Kirby's fab track - I had a few huge pop star faves as a nipper, we're talking 5 or 6 years old, the biggest 2 were Billy Fury (also in the chart) and Kathy Kirby. Mad on 'em I was. 1 1 1 4 FIRST TIME HE KISSED A BOY Kadie Elder 680000 2 15 2 2 HURTS Emeli Sande 142000 3 2 2 3 FAMILIAR Agnes Obel 315000 4 4 2 6 FRIENDS Francis And The Lights featuring Bon Iver 415000 5 6 5 3 NEVER EVER Royksopp featuring Susanne Sundfor 134250 6 3 3 5 GET OVER IT RAT BOY 320600 7 5 5 5 BLOW YOUR MIND (MWAH) Dua Lipa 248200 8 NEW 8 1 DON’T YOU CRY FOR ME Cobi 48000 9 NEW 9 1 QUICKSAND Tom Chaplin 45000 10 10 10 5 BOURBON Gallant 143600 96pQTiPWDpA 11 NEW 11 1 IT NEVER RAINS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA Albert Hammond 37000 12 8 6 7 HER (LOVING YOU) GLADES 311400 13 9 9 5 LOST & FOUND BETSY 156400 14 7 7 8 GEMINI FEED Banks 206700 15 20 15 2 GO!

September 25, 20168 yr YAS Billie slaying that top 30 *.* it's quite the tune isn't it :lol: The Cobi track is also decent. I heard it a few months ago and wondered why radio 1 or radio 2 for that matter haven't picked it up? Sounds perfect for either station I think. He reminds me of Hozier a little bit which is why ha! Great stuff all round and nice to see Dua in your top 10 :cheer: Edited September 25, 20168 yr by Rob S

Cobi I got from james' chart this week, love it, yes it could have been a big radio hit that one, and thanks for being polite and not pointing out I'd stuck the wrong youtube link in! :lol: cheers! john
September 26, 20168 yr Hi John Kadie Elder unstoppable. :o Not sure if I will chart Hurts but I think this is the best song Emeli has ever recorded in her career. I'm not yet a massive Emeli fan though. You and JSG love Don't You Cry For Me. :lol: Surprised this is not a UK hit because this is the 'Take Me To Church' of the year. -_- Also Quicksand has surprised me in a good way. Nice song. Good chart especially the top 10. :D
