Posted September 24, 20177 yr 24th September 2017 It's Pet Shop Boys on top for a 2nd week, fresh as I get back from 5 days in Salou on rollercoasters again (one is never too old for a cheap thrill) and having read the Johnny Marr autobiog - Pet Shop Boys feature, as they should when I saw him helping them out at The Albert Hall charity gig last summer with Suedehead. Footsteps would have fit in beautifully. Evangeline shoots up to 4, and is growing on me bigtime, clubtastic, and The Killers climb 22 to grab a second consecutive top 10, some 13 years on from first doing that! As I enjoy a nice round-robin of reference, Brandon Flowers is a huge Pet Shop Boys and Smiths fan, and Suedehead was Morrisey's debut solo single after The Smiths split up and Johnny Marr moved on to Electronic with Bernard Sumner and guests Pet Shop Boys. Reggaeton Lento was getting some cabaret evening cover in the holiday hotel in the evenings, along with Despacito and other Latin hits, and theatrical musical Cabaret songs - which was a cue for Liza Minelli, who also had an album produced and songs written by Pet Shop Boys in 1989. Life is circular. 1 1 1 3 FOOTSTEPS Pet Shop Boys 455000 2 2 1 4 CRYBABY Paloma Faith 450000 3 4 3 3 CLOSER TO HEAVEN Pet Shop Boys 167700 4 27 4 3 MY KINGDOM (WILLIAM BLACK REMIX) Evangeline 96150 5 3 3 7 DRINK UP Train 418000 6 11 6 6 GET LOW Zedd & Liam Payne 146750 7 10 7 7 NEW RULES Dua Lipa 174300 8 9 8 15 SWISH SWISH Katy Perry featuring Nicki Minaj 312200 9 5 4 8 MORE MESS Kungs featuring Olly Murs & Coely 407400 10 32 10 6 RUN FOR COVER The Killers 107050 11 6 1 11 TRUE FEELING Galantis 842000 12 12 12 4 TALL THIN MEN Pet Shop Boys 121500 13 13 6 5 LIKE AN ANGEL PASSING THROUGH MY ROOM Madonna 209000 14 7 1 10 STILL FEELS LIKE THE FIRST TIME Zoot Woman featuring Kylie Minogue 747600 15 16 15 6 REGGAETON LENTO CNCO & Little Mix 131350 16 19 16 2 WALK ON WATER Thirty Seconds To Mars 46000 17 8 8 7 IT’S ONLY MAKE BELIEVE Glen Campbell 199000 18 24 18 3 FANTASY George Michael featuring Nile Rodgers 58500 19 15 9 7 HOLDING ON Dannii Minogue featuring Jason Heerah 182150 20 30 20 3 DUSK TILL DAWN ZAYN featuring Sia 44400 21 17 8 10 ROCKIN’ The Weeknd 297450 22 23 22 4 ELIZABETH TAYLOR (MULHOLLAND EDITION) Clare Maguire 74350 23 33 23 2 EDITH PIAF (SAID IT BETTER THAN ME) Sparks 36950 24 18 10 7 WHAT ABOUT US P!nk 195450 25 21 19 6 DIVE (3.35 EDIT) Saint Etienne 96700 26 28 26 4 MERMAID Skott 66200 27 26 8 11 I’LL BE AROUND Empire Of The Sun 322350 28 20 20 4 BELIEVE/SONG FOR GUY Pet Shop Boys featuring Elton John 76700 29 29 29 4 SWINGIN’ WITH MY EYES CLOSED Shania Twain 59700 30 25 4 11 AVE PLAGUE KING PLAGUE 487750 31 36 31 4 ALL STARS Martin Solveig featuring Alma 51900 32 14 14 5 3 A.M.

September 25, 20177 yr Hello, John. New Bucks Fizz is simply amazing. True pure pop, much better than Steps' last album. Possibly the best new song, which I heard in this year. :wub: Edited September 25, 20177 yr by Good Old Days

I havent heard the Fizz album properly, though I bought the new single, very retro 80's I can see why you like it! So good to have them back, loved Bucks Fizz, and saw them in concert 3 times, always a good show. cheers! john

Fantastic chart :D aww thanks AH for the long list! I almost sent Elizabeth Taylor too after you'd charted it, but also though it would get vetoed as it was well appreciated at the time. Hey ho! The Barry White sample on Positive Role Model is fab! Sofi Tukker is another one growing on me fast too, and one (along with Kideko, and Portugal.The.Man) I would have sent if I hadnt thought the veto would be forthcoming. I think we may have to adopt the "give it a go" mentality! cheers! john
