Posted January 22, 20187 yr 21st January 2018 It's back into the top 10 for the 3rd time and all the way to the top for Craig David and Bastille, one of those tracks that doesn't pall with repeat hearings. It's the 3rd chart-topper for Craig (Walking Away and Hot Stuff, the former based on U2's One, the latter Bowie's Let's Dance) and Bastille's first. Hot on their heels though, Kylie's back with a contemporary-sounding dance-country crossover and she's Dancing to enter at 3, giving her a sweet 30 years of top 10 hits since I Should Be So Lucky hit 6. Portugal. The Man are also back into the top 7 months on with Feel It Still, and also with new track Live In The Moment, sandwiching P!nk at 8 - her second top 10 off the new album and a sweet 18 years since There You Go hit 9. New at 13 it's The Straw Hats - well, actually it's Troyboi, but the Norwegian dance troupe have done a fab video for the short-but-sweet dance track in a Japanese-stylee. Appropriating culture or taking it to a wider audience? Actually most modern pop music is appropriated culture, and that includes Japanese acts, so whatever it looks terrific. As a load of oldies depart the chart, some also pop in, topped by the late Dolores O'Riordan's Cranberries, and their best record, Linger. Dolores died suddenly, and far too young, last week. The Revivalists is a couple or 3 years old, but one I missed, and Fall Out Boy are new in at 35 with the new album track, and are besides themselves. Amongst the deluge of new tracks, The Chainsmokers return, as does Noel Gallagher, that'll be 24 years-worth of entries then. Paloma Faith sneaks in with a dance track, for a hat-trick, Embrace enter 21 years since All You Good Good People hit 10 (and 14 years since they topped my chart with Gravity), Imagine Dragons keep the new entries coming 6 years since topping with Radioactive (well, nearer 5, but hey, it was 2012), as The Manics make it at least 25 years of newies, Bruno makes it 8 years (including 2 chart-toppers in Grenade and Marry You), Simple Minds return with only the one chart-topper in 1995 (She's A River) but 36 years of hits. Finally, Mavis Staples pops in solo, after assisting Gorillaz last year, having been helped by Prince in 1991 with Melody Cool and on his tours wot-I-saw, and 46 years since I'll Take You There hit my number 3 for The Staple Singers, Mavis' sisters and dad. 1 11 1 9 I KNOW YOU Craig David featuring Bastille 399150 2 1 1 4 LIFETIMES Oh Wonder 405600 3 NEW 3 1 DANCING Kylie Minogue 85000 4 3 3 5 ON OUR WAY HOME Empire Of The Sun 247800 5 2 1 7 UNTIL YOU COME BACK TO ME (THAT’S WHAT I’M GONNA DO) Aretha Franklin with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra 800000 6 5 3 9 LIST OF PEOPLE (TO TRY AND FORGET) Tame Impala 458200 7 19 5 17 FEEL IT STILL Portugal.
