Posted July 3, 20178 yr 2nd July 2017 In from nowhere it's Adam Lambert with his ambitious and fabulous Two Fux, far and away his best ever record (and he's had a few goodies). In rhythm it reminds me of a 90's gem from ex-New Kid On The Block Jordan Knight's 1998 number 2 (here) Give It To Me, but it is sassier and more swirling. Adam's been having occasional entries here since 2010, so at long last a biggie. That means The Killers get close but no cigar, The Man is great, much better than the ever present Mr Brightside which is outselling it in the UK charts and within 50,000 sales (not streaming) of a million! I just don't get it! Second highest new entry is a 2nd top 20 track for Liam Gallagher, one of his best ballads, Chinatown at 16. Katy Perry rockets into the 20 with Roulette as Swish swish stays ahead, and a new entry for Calvin Harris featuring her at 58 gives her 5 consecutive tracks on the list. My rules won't be amended to exclude artists with more than 3.... Imelda gets a 2nd top 20 of the year, QOTSA get a first one ever, and in at 39 Shania Twain is back and jolly as ever after a gap of 13 years, she topped my chart in 1999 though That Don't Impress Me Much as much as almost 20 years of chart-spanning. Rufus Wainwright covers a Beatles classic, used on a TV advert, while Foo Fighters and Imagine Dragons add to the long run of chart entries, the Foo's covering 20 years, Imagine Dragons 5 or 6 years. 1 NEW 1 1 TWO FUX Adam Lambert 170000 2 1 1 3 SUMMER WINE Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazelwood 455000 3 5 3 3 THE MAN The Killers 180000 4 6 4 7 CRYING IN THE CLUB Camila Cabello 236100 5 4 1 8 INTO THE FIRE VINAI featuring Anjulie 1005000 6 3 1 5 SHE’S LEAVING HOME The Beatles 490000 7 2 2 10 BUSTED AND BLUE Gorillaz 687000 8 10 8 5 WALL OF GLASS Liam Gallagher 154200 9 9 5 7 FEEL IT STILL Portugal.

Hey Jordan! I had to double-check Faller was a Riser, (my vote is for Riser, refers Dierks, is a bit naughty-sounding and is positive in a world of negativity :lol: ) Yes, that Adam lambert track came out of nowhere for me, pow! Unexpected instant love :wub: Kissing Strangers should have been a UK hit, and prob would have been 3 or 4 years back before the "Electrotropicafartbeeps" bandwagon that everyone has jumped on. Rufus is a gorgeous version of a Beatles classic, heavily used in an advert at the moment, happily. Thanks for dropping by and commenting! cheers! john B-)

Hi Toffo! Chinatown is not too far from a couple of Noel's ballads - obviously picked up a tip or two over the years, our Liam. Shania's not in the Impress league, but nice to have her back :) Judging by Katy's singles and album sales, seems like I'm the only one who does still like her lately... :( cheers! john B-)
