Posted October 18, 20177 yr 15th October 2017 3 weeks for Hurts on top, as they challenge themselves with the soulful Wait Up up to 3, and a massive leap for Burak Yeter up 30 spots to 7. Hurts new album has peaked at 21 in the UK chart which is ludicrously low for such a great band. Two Pet Shop Boys from the recharting extended Release CD set, both I already knew but hadn't charted before, dating from 2002-4-ish. The album excluded any (much better) tracks that didn't fit into the mood, including these two gems, one latin-tinged, one banger singalong. Two new revamped tracks a la Elvis for Roy Orbison gives us 2 late lamented Traveling Wilburys in the chart, as well as the band itself. Love Hurts has been much-covered over the years (Nazereth and Jim Capaldi for two hit versions, for a start) so about time Roy charted his original. Chaka Khan gets a credit, which allows me to claim her charting in my charts for 43 years, starting with Rufus' Tell Me Something Good in 1974. 1 1 1 3 MAGNIFICENT Hurts 485000 2 2 2 6 MY KINGDOM (WILLIAM BLACK REMIX) Evangeline 391650 3 6 3 3 WAIT UP Hurts 163000 4 4 1 6 FOOTSTEPS Pet Shop Boys 700000 5 3 3 3 READY TO GO Hurts 220000 6 5 1 7 CRYBABY Paloma Faith 625000 7 37 7 2 GO 2.0 Burak Yeter & Ryan Rybak 67300 8 9 8 10 I HEAR YOU CALLING DJ Licious 245300 9 7 6 9 GET LOW Zedd & Liam Payne 291750 10 10 10 3 CLOSE TO YOU ARLE 101900 11 12 11 4 BEST FRIEND Sofi Tukker featuring NERVO, The Knocks & Alisa Ueno 97150 12 8 3 6 CLOSER TO HEAVEN Pet Shop Boys 305700 13 14 13 6 DUSK TILL DAWN ZAYN featuring Sia 130400 14 15 14 7 ALL STARS Martin Solveig featuring Alma 134900 15 11 3 10 DRINK UP Train 530000 16 NEW 16 1 BETWEEN TWO ISLANDS Pet Shop Boys 25000 17 13 10 9 RUN FOR COVER The Killers 204000 18 18 18 6 FANTASY George Michael featuring Nile Rodgers 124500 19 24 19 2 WORD UP The BossHoss 40000 20 26 20 3 BEAUTIFUL TRAUMA P!nk 48700 21 NEW 21 1 SEXY NORTHERNER Pet Shop Boys 19750 22 28 22 10 BOTH SIDES NOW Glen Campbell 158000 23 16 7 10 NEW RULES Dua Lipa 263550 24 29 24 5 LIFE WITH THE MACBETHS Sparks 73600 25 17 4 11 MORE MESS Kungs featuring Olly Murs & Coely 486150 26 23 12 7 TALL THIN MEN Pet Shop Boys 194250 27 19 19 5 EDITH PIAF (SAID IT BETTER THAN ME) Sparks 96350 28 25 1 13 STILL FEELS LIKE THE FIRST TIME Zoot Woman featuring Kylie Minogue 804100 29 32 27 7 SWINGIN’ WITH MY EYES CLOSED Shania Twain 114100 30 30 6 8 LIKE AN ANGEL PASSING THROUGH MY ROOM Madonna 264250 31 27 1 14 TRUE FEELING Galantis 899300 32 20 14 5 WALK ON WATER Thirty Seconds To Mars 112800 33 34 33 7 DARK NIGHTS Dorothy 105600 34 21 13 9 REGGAETON LENTO CNCO & Little Mix 200700 35 40 35 6 DO IT AGAIN Steely Dan 83250 36 22 8 18 SWISH SWISH Katy Perry featuring Nicki Minaj 384100 37 39 37 7 WOULDN’T WANNA BE YA YONAKA 80400 38 47 38 2 TALK OF THIS TOWN Catherine McGrath 29700 39 45 39 2 END OF THE LINE The Traveling Wilburys 30100 40 54 40 2 SPENT THE DAY IN BED Morrissey 28000 41 31 9 10 HOLDING ON Dannii Minogue featuring Jason Heerah 233050 42 33 33 7 DUM DUM Kideko featuring Tiny Tempah and Becky G 84050 43 NEW 43 1 LOVE HURTS Roy Orbison & The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra 13500 44 35 10 10 WHAT ABOUT US P!nk 244500 45 36 19 12 POWER Little Mix featuring Stormzy 196750 46 38 8 13 ROCKIN’ The Weeknd 345600 47 NEW 47 1 I LOVE YOU BUT I’M LOST Tears For Fears 12500 48 42 42 6 CHASING HIGHS Alma 56550 49 49 1 15 DREAMS Grace Slick 599000 50 41 38 5 TENSION CENTVRIES 67000 51 43 8 14 I’LL BE AROUND Empire Of The Sun 366000 52 50 27 10 I COULD USE A LOVE SONG Maren Morris 134900 53 57 53 2 KAAMOS Tom Fall 21650 54 58 54 4 MORE THAN FRIENDS James Hype featuring Kelli-Leigh 32200 55 53 1 16 TWO FUX Adam Lambert 1021200 56 44 19 9 DIVE (3.35 EDIT) Saint Etienne 137950 57 46 22 7 ELIZABETH TAYLOR (MULHOLLAND EDITION) Clare Maguire 117000 58 NEW 58 1 OH, PRETTY WOMAN Roy Orbison & The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra 10200 59 67 59 3 I THINK IT’S STUPID BUT I THINK IT’S LOVE The RPM’s 23100 60 51 1 10 GALVESTON Glen Campbell 746550 61 63 61 4 ILL RAY (THE KING) Kasabian 27100 62 71 62 4 HAVANA Camila Cabello featuring Young Thug 23400 63 62 1 31 ALONE AGAIN OR Love 950450 64 70 64 2 ROCKIN’ FOR MYSELF Motiv8 featuring Angie Brown 13100 65 65 65 3 HEROES David Bowie 20800 66 64 1 18 SUMMER WINE Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazelwood 804700 67 56 8 11 DARTH VADER Dragonette 233250 68 60 60 3 BURN SLOW Jaira Burns 23400 69 NEW 69 1 EVERYTHING IS NEVER ENOUGH (VIDEO MIX) Goldfrapp 6200 70 73 70 2 AMERICAN GIRL Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers 11400 71 RE 71 2 VULCANO Francesca Michelin 10800 72 48 48 2 MASTERPIECE NONONO 17900 73 75 73 2 NOBODYS CHILD The Traveling Wilburys 10400 74 NEW 74 1 SAY A PRAYER TIEKS featuring Chaka Khan & Popcaan 5200 75 NEW 75 1 FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH Liam Gallagher 5000 DROP OUTS 52 26 6 MERMAID Skott 81450 55 20 6 BELIEVE/SONG FOR GUY Pet Shop Boys featuring Elton John 100750 59 4 13 AVE PLAGUE KING PLAGUE 509850 61 40 8 IN AND OUT Beth Ditto 98100 66 53 5 THIS KIND OF LOVE George Michael 40250 68 36 6 NON BELIEVER London Grammar 77350 69 69 2 DOWN Andrew Belle 12200 72 8 14 UNFORGETTABLE French Montana featuring Swae Lee 322150 74 37 6 POSITIVE ROLE MODEL Pet Shop Boys 65800

Hi Toffo, thanks for the comments! I was tempted to chart I Drove All Night but I'm not that keen on the added vocals and the strings in this case, but I gave the original a good chart run while the 60's oldies like Love Hurts have never charted ( a bit before my charting time :lol: ) I have forgotten that Little Boots track (if I ever knew it) I'll just check my files hang on.... No, I dont know it, oops - all I ever charted was: 5 17 NEW IN TOWN Little Boots 452200 2009 6 14 REMEDY Little Boots 403450 2009 47 6 EARTHQUAKE Little Boots 48600 2009 cheers! john
October 24, 20177 yr John, "Earthquake" was very underrated in your chart. It's the one from my favourite songs of 2009 year (Full top 100 is available here and on Haven too, probably you saw that thread).

October 25, 20177 yr ...and no stuck on repeat either! Not sure about the rules of John's chart, but only singles or the songs with official videos are represented in my countdown. :) Her debut album was perfect from start to finish. "Mathematics" is my favourite song from "Hands". Edited October 25, 20177 yr by Good Old Days
