Posted August 13, 20178 yr 13th August 2017 It's the late great Glen Campbell at 1, spearheading a posthumous invasion of old tracks and one new one. Galveston hit my number 2 when I was doing my first occasional chart dabblings age 10 and 11, this one was summer of '69, and a Jimmy Webb classic. It was also on the first pop album my parents bought for me, so it's pretty appropriate that Galveston now takes the record for longest-wait to top my charts, over 48 years, on his 12th chart-topper. Second-highest charting Glen song is his most recent number one for me, 2014, and his single off his last EP with lyrics that break the heart with his inverted alzheimers love-song to his wife, knowing he soon wouldn't remember her - I'm Not Gonna Miss You is high emotion. Even without Glen's death it would be a busy chart - there are loads bubbling-under - so big climbs for Kungs new track up from 62 to 4 with some help for Olly Murs, equalling their huge hit from last year, Kylie gets another number 2 to add to her long list, and Dragonette get a first top 10 up to 8. Empire Of The Sun have had previous top 10's, but not for a while, and ditto Coldplay (but who never have a long break away). Highest new song is Train at 19, also top 10 regulars, though they have to climb to the top, while DJ Licious is in at 25. Rednex get a third top 40 some 17 years late on it's original release and 23 years since the last one. Pink is back, following her top 10 (here only) earlier this year with SIA, and Danni Minogue joins her sister in the chart for the first time since they did that xmas duet track together a couple of years ago. It's 26 years since she debuted. 1 NEW 1 1 GALVESTON Glen Campbell 170000 2 5 2 4 STILL FEELS LIKE THE FIRST TIME Zoot Woman featuring Kylie Minogue 203600 3 1 1 5 TRUE FEELING Galantis 445000 4 62 4 2 MORE MESS Kungs featuring Olly Murs & Coely 72400 5 NEW 5 1 I’M NOT GONNA MISS YOU Glen Campbell 60000 6 4 4 5 AVE PLAGUE KING PLAGUE 264000 7 3 1 7 TWO FUX Adam Lambert 820000 8 30 8 2 DARTH VADER Dragonette 66000 9 14 9 5 I’LL BE AROUND Empire Of The Sun 130450 10 11 10 4 MIRACLES (SOMEONE SPECIAL) Coldplay & Big Sean 108750 11 2 1 4 NUMB Linkin Park 492000 12 20 12 4 ROCKIN’ The Weeknd 84700 13 10 10 4 IT’S SUNNY TLC featuring Bobby Hebb 117000 14 7 7 5 MR SANDMAN Syml 162800 15 6 4 6 NO GOOD FOR YOU The Union featuring Lovespeake 243800 16 8 8 6 UNFORGETTABLE French Montana featuring Swae Lee 201000 17 22 17 6 BLESS THIS ACID HOUSE Kasabian 105100 18 18 18 4 RAIN The Script 84400 19 NEW 19 1 DRINK UP Train 21000 20 NEW 20 1 WICHITA LINEMAN Glen Campbell 20000 21 9 1 6 DREAMS Grace Slick 464750 22 21 17 6 TOO MUCH Blondie 106050 23 15 3 9 THE MAN The Killers 430250 24 19 19 4 THE PUNISHMENT OF LUXURY Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark 63800 25 NEW 25 1 I HEAR YOU CALLING DJ Licious 18750 26 26 26 4 BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE BEAUTIFUL PROBLEMS Lana Del Ray featuring Stevie Nicks 65000 27 60 27 3 POWER Little Mix featuring Stormzy 38400 28 17 5 7 CHINATOWN Liam Gallagher 261300 29 13 10 5 GENEVE John Otway 162200 30 NEW 30 1 IT’S ONLY MAKE BELIEVE Glen Campbell 18000 31 36 31 3 NERDY BOY Sushy featuring Roachie 45900 32 12 3 6 LOOKING FOR THE RAIN UNKLE featuring Mark Lanegan & ESKA 296300 33 16 16 7 FEELS Calvin Harris featuring Pharrell Williams, Katy Perry & Big Sean 133150 34 34 34 6 LOVE IS LOVE IS LOVE LeAnne Rimes 85300 35 35 35 7 REAL LIFE Duke Dumont & Gordon City featuring Naations 98050 36 23 1 9 SUMMER WINE Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazelwood 705650 37 61 37 2 THE SPIRIT OF THE HAWK Rednex 24800 38 25 4 13 CRYING IN THE CLUB Camila Cabello 466050 39 28 14 12 MALIBU Miley Cyrus 210950 40 33 33 5 CHAMELEON Pnau 82750 41 42 41 15 THE CHAIN Fleetwood Mac 177050 42 31 1 14 INTO THE FIRE VINAI featuring Anjulie 1166150 43 29 6 11 WALL OF GLASS Liam Gallagher 309650 44 32 23 7 LIFE’S ABOUT TO GET GOOD Shania Twain 117400 45 50 45 4 SUBEME LA RADIO Enrique Iglesias featuring Descemer Bueno, Zion and Lennox 37600 46 NEW 46 1 WHAT ABOUT US P!nk 12750 47 NEW 47 1 BY THE TIME I GET TO PHOENIX Glen Campbell 12500 48 48 48 3 FIOR DI LATTE Phoenix 34800 49 39 39 6 DIFFERENT DAYS The Charlatans 63800 50 58 50 3 WILD THOUGHTS DJ Khaled featuring Rihanna & Bryson Tiller 28000 51 NEW 51 1 GOOD RIDDANCE (TIME OF YOUR LIFE) Glen Campbell 11750 52 41 11 15 DESPACITO (REMIX) Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee featuring Justin Bieber 247900 53 38 5 13 FEEL IT STILL Portugal.
