Posted January 29, 20187 yr 28th January 2018 It's in at 1 for a record I didn't know a week ago - Irma Thomas' brilliant 1960's soul ballad fresh from use in an episode of Dark Mirror (via Buzzjack Song Contest). Hauntingly fab. That stops Kylie grabbing another chart-topper, but she adds to her long list of 2's anyway. Paloma Faith gets a 3rd top 10 a in a row in a frantic chart, up 54 places. It's been a long time since so many tracks were climbing at a pace like this, and bar the number one they are all new or recent-ish. That means a clear-out of 2017 tracks. In at 7, highest new song is the first good track off Justin T's forthcoming album, while The Revivalists shoot up to 8, and Liam Payne gets more solo top 10's than One Direction managed, joined by Rita Ora getting a rare one. At 12, SSion, is a ballad, pop song and pyscho Jesus & Mary Chain/Jesus Jones Info freako-ish popchartfreakout. Epic. Fall Out Boy get a 2nd top 20 in a row, Rudimental are back with Macklemore and Jess Glynne in tow, Dua Lipa doesn't give a ... about being late into my chart, ditto Tom walker, Eminem and Camilla cabello. Oldies Eels are back for over 20 years of hits including a chart-topper with Last Stop: This Time. Turin Brakes return, but it's nothing next to Kim Wilde's 37 year run aided by bruv (as ever) who gets a credit for the first time as he's actually singing. Ricky first charted in 1972 with his flop (but well-played) pre-teen track I Am An Astronaut, and hit my top 10 with Teen Wave in 1974, a template for Kim's 80's smashes (sort of). So, Rick makes it 46 years (gasp!) and he's younger than me...! 1 NEW 1 1 ANYONE WHO KNOWS WHAT LOVE IS (WILL UNDERSTAND) Irma Thomas 170000 2 3 2 2 DANCING Kylie Minogue 200000 3 1 1 10 I KNOW YOU Craig David featuring Bastille 484150 4 8 4 4 WHERE WE GO P!nk 156300 5 2 1 5 LIFETIMES Oh Wonder 465600 6 60 6 2 TIL I’M DONE Paloma Faith 65000 7 NEW 7 1 SAY SOMETHING Justin Timberlake featuring Chris Stapleton 50000 8 36 8 2 I WISH I KNEW YOU The Revivalists 65400 9 4 3 6 ON OUR WAY HOME Empire Of The Sun 292800 10 27 10 3 FOR YOU Liam Payne & Rita Ora 66200 11 13 11 2 TILL THE AM (STRAWHATZ X KOHARU SUGARAWA’S “KIMONO” DANCE VERSION) TroyBoi 69000 12 NEW 12 1 COMEBACK SSION 35000 13 5 1 8 UNTIL YOU COME BACK TO ME (THAT’S WHAT I’M GONNA DO) Aretha Franklin with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra 832000 14 7 5 18 FEEL IT STILL Portugal.

January 29, 20187 yr Good selections from BJSC... although I must point out that it is Black Mirror that the song is featured on... and that Comeback is actually just the middle 4 minute section of the video (although it is still fab in any form) - the beginning part is a different track from the upcoming album and the ending is just there for fun! Still, as I say, both fantastic choices. ^_^

That's a shame about the mix of tracks for Comeback, I always like tracks that are made up of parts and the mad bit at the end is terrific! They should release it as a formal single! Cheers! john :)

Oops at Andy Grammer in my next chart, it's peaked this week - still good though, just overwhelmed by fresher ones. I was big on Linger back in the day, very sweet record and I think the States picked up on it before the UK did, seem to recall it had a slow burn to charting which was unusual in the mid 90's UK charts. cheers! john B-)
