Posted February 19, 20187 yr 18th February 2018 It's 2 weeks on top for the Eurovision hopeful, as Al Green gets a first top 5 since Let's Stay Together in 1972 (and it's reissue in 2010 when it topped my chart). He last made my top 10 with new material in 2008, and would have been charting for 50 years had I compiled charts in early 1968. The Eels grab a 5th top 10 some 21 years after the first one, while Lissie gets a top 20 8 years on from her first rocketing up 35 places. Hailee Steinfeld gets greedy, up 40 spots into the 20, while also entering at 45 with BloodPop assisting, t'other assistants Florida Georgia Line leapfrog themselves. Kendrick Lamar joins himself in the 30, SZA gets a second top 40. Highest new entry is MIKA, last in my top 10 in 2013, and first in with Grace Kelly in 2007, in between topping with flop Rain in 2009. The Fratellis also enter, having been absent for almost a decade, but having 3 top 10's in 2006/7. Kishi Bashi grabs a 7th chart hit, Alan Walker a 3rd, Noah Cyrus a second, and sneaking in with an unreleased track (at least until friday) is Mel & Kim. Poor Mel died at a very young age at the height of their success, and are owed another bit of chart success, as it's not bad at all from what I've heard so far, 30 years on. 1 1 1 2 MONSTERS Saara Aalto 340000 2 3 2 3 PRAY FOR ME The Weeknd and Kendrick Lamar 217000 3 2 1 4 ANYONE WHO KNOWS WHAT LOVE IS (WILL UNDERSTAND) Irma Thomas 540000 4 8 4 2 FEEL LIKE I DO Disclosure & Al Green 113000 5 4 3 5 I WISH I KNEW YOU The Revivalists 275400 6 5 4 4 SAY SOMETHING Justin Timberlake featuring Chris Stapleton 230000 7 7 7 4 BIG AS I CAN DREAM/ COMEBACK SSION 185000 8 23 8 4 THE DECONSTRUCTION Eels 89950 9 9 5 5 TIL I’M DONE Paloma Faith 215000 10 10 10 5 NEVER Embrace featuring Kerri Watt 143400 11 6 2 5 DANCING Kylie Minogue 407000 12 12 3 9 ON OUR WAY HOME Empire Of The Sun 595600 13 16 13 13 BANDALA The Partridge Family featuring David Cassidy & Shirley Jones 217500 14 14 8 6 FOR YOU Liam Payne & Rita Ora 172200 15 50 15 2 BEST DAYS Lissie 39000 16 11 1 13 I KNOW YOU Craig David featuring Bastille 591150 17 15 4 7 WHERE WE GO P!nk 261300 18 58 18 2 LET ME GO Hailee Steinfeld featuring Florida Georgia Line & watt 32200 19 13 13 5 THE LAST OF THE REAL ONES Fall Out Boy 125500 20 22 20 4 POP DON’T STOP Kim Wilde featuring Ricky Wilde 64200 21 24 21 4 THESE DAYS Rudimental featuring Jess Glynne, Macklemore & Dan Caplen 73650 22 17 10 5 TILL THE AM (STRAWHATZ X KOHARU SUGARAWA’S “KIMONO” DANCE VERSION) TroyBoi 153500 23 18 1 11 UNTIL YOU COME BACK TO ME (THAT’S WHAT I’M GONNA DO) Aretha Franklin with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra 900250 24 25 24 5 FIREWORKS First Aid Kit 81300 25 62 25 3 ALL THE STARS Kendrick Lamar and SZA 31350 26 19 1 8 LIFETIMES Oh Wonder 542100 27 34 27 4 NEVER BE THE SAME Camilla Cabello 60700 28 30 28 2 MEANT TO BE Bebe Rexha featuring Florida Georgia Line 36300 29 21 5 21 FEEL IT STILL Portugal.

February 20, 20187 yr Yes I'm very loyal to old pop stars! :lol: I have caught the new Bucks Fizz track thanks for the link, I need to hear it a bit more as it's not quite as immediate as the first 3 (I havent heard the whole album yet but will flick through them at some stage for gems) John, how you can like any current young mainstream acts, when you grew up with the music from Beatles, ABBA and other old acts, when the quality of songs was 100 times better ? Can you share this secret ? ;) Only 8 new tracks were recorded for comeback album, the rest tracks are new versions of their classics. :) Edited February 20, 20187 yr by Good Old Days
February 20, 20187 yr Hello John! Good to see "Let Me Go" and "All The Stars" gain big! Also nice debuts for "Capital Letters" and "All Falls Down"! Great chart overall!
February 20, 20187 yr Author John, how you can like any current young mainstream acts, when you grew up with the music from Beatles, ABBA and other old acts, when the quality of songs was 100 times better ? Can you share this secret ? ;) Only 8 new tracks were recorded for comeback album, the rest tracks are new versions of their classics. :) Hi Alex, I think music was more creative and experimental when pop was young in the 60's and 70's but I've always liked new music and exciting new sounds as well as familiar old classics, and I get more pleasure playing stuff I don't know than stuff I do know, so I suppose that's why I've always stayed on the side of new music (not all of it though, much of the current chart is Paint-By-Numbers and dreary, but that's always been the case - but at least in the old days they didnt hang around for years and ruin the charts) :lol: Most people tend to love chart music most when they are in their teens and it drops off as they get older and have families and jobs, maybe it's because I stayed single-ish :lol: cheers! john
February 24, 20187 yr Hi John, The Weeknd and JT still Top 10 :cheer: Only In your chart !! : Disclosure ft Al Green climbing :cheer: 2 tracks of Hailee Steinfeld climbing the chart :cheer: nice

Great chart :D Hi Pete, Yes Embrace is a build-er song, I love songs that build like the master Roy Orbison used to write :heart: MIKA is still very fresh to me, but it might wear off quickly too - Kylie's new one was instant for me but I'm a bit less keen fairly quickly, so it might go the same way :lol: cheers! :)
