4th February 2018

 

It's 2 weeks on top for the Irma Thomas 1964 soul gem fresh from Black Mirror. That keeps Kylie in her place as Revivalists have a god climb to 3 leapfrogging Justin Timberlake's under-rated new track and Paloma's 3rd single from the album. Kim Wilde rockets with Ricky to 22 from 74 - Ricky's biggest chart credit since Mrs Malinski made my top 30 in 1974. No you don't have to pretend you know it and it won't be on Spotify. His voice has dropped quite a bit since then! Mine too.

 

The Eels return to my top 40 for the first time in 13 years, quite a gap, while Camilla Cabello outdoes Havana here and becomes her 2nd top 40. The Weeknd has an instant top 40 highest new entry, aided by Kendrick Lamar, who also enters lower with another track, both songs from the forthcoming 50 Shades film. Fleetwood Mac's classic Rhiannon is well over 40 years old, and was last in my charts exactly 40 years ago - this is the album version, though, so the new Fleetwood Mac deluxe has given me an excuse to chart this uncharted version. Fab. Finally, Toto are back after a 30-year gap (bar reissues) with a souped-up version of an old unreleased very Rosanna period Toto, sadly I would prefer Hold The Line-period Toto, though Africa was fab.

Ricky Wilde produced a lot of the Kim Wilde songs back in the 80s! The production on The Second time and You Keep Me Hangin On in particular is great imo!

 

This new one by the two Wilde's is a bit of a disappointment compared to their 80s songs they did together, but still good enough!

Hi Snakey,

 

yes I agree with you, Ricky did a great job as producer back in the day. Pop Don't Stop isn't quite up there with most of them but it's great to have them back and I saw them last summer quite literally performing less than 500 metres from my front door (Upton Country Park Festival) :)
