Posted February 26, 20187 yr 25th february 2018 It's Saara Aalto on top for a 3rd week, chasing by 2 Black Panther tracks (which I saw this week), giving Kendrick Lamar 2 of the top 3. No relation to Austrian inventor and movie actress Hedy Lamarr, who basically invented bluetooth in the 30's (sort of) as part of a radio-wave missile-guidance system for allied troops and then became a gorgeous movie star in Hollywood. I can however listen to Kendrick Lamar now via bluetooth, so sort of linked. No relation in either case to fictional Hedley Lamarr in Blazing Saddles. Hedy had a film-worthy life, though. Florida Georgia Line and Hailee Steinfeld both have 2 top 20, and top 40, respectively, while CAIN (who?!) have the highest new entry with an unavailable Witchhouse track. Janelle Monae is back 3 years from her last chart entry - with Duran Duran - and 6 years since her monster fun. track. I now have a complete 1997-2017 database so can quote accurate stats from my charts during that period. Just 1968-1996 to add now... 5 Seconds of Summer get a second chart entry 4 years since the first, Imagine Dragons make it 4 off the latest album, Paloma Faith links with Sigala to give her 3 on the chart, and 23 in total. Sigala have had 4, and Franz Ferdinand get their 11th chart entry 9 years on from the last one (excluding their FFS project with Sparks). 1 1 1 3 MONSTERS Saara Aalto 510000 2 2 2 4 PRAY FOR ME The Weeknd and Kendrick Lamar 332000 3 25 3 4 ALL THE STARS Kendrick Lamar and SZA 116350 4 4 4 3 FEEL LIKE I DO Disclosure & Al Green 178000 5 8 5 5 THE DECONSTRUCTION Eels 149950 6 6 4 5 SAY SOMETHING Justin Timberlake featuring Chris Stapleton 225000 7 3 1 5 ANYONE WHO KNOWS WHAT LOVE IS (WILL UNDERSTAND) Irma Thomas 590000 8 5 3 6 I WISH I KNEW YOU The Revivalists 323400 9 15 9 3 BEST DAYS Lissie 84000 10 10 10 6 NEVER Embrace featuring Kerri Watt 185400 11 7 7 5 BIG AS I CAN DREAM/ COMEBACK SSION 222000 12 13 12 14 BANDALA The Partridge Family featuring David Cassidy & Shirley Jones 252500 13 18 13 3 LET ME GO Hailee Steinfeld featuring Florida Georgia Line & watt 64200 14 9 5 6 TIL I’M DONE Paloma Faith 244000 15 12 3 10 ON OUR WAY HOME Empire Of The Sun 622600 16 14 8 7 FOR YOU Liam Payne & Rita Ora 197200 17 28 17 3 MEANT TO BE Bebe Rexha featuring Florida Georgia Line 59300 18 21 18 5 THESE DAYS Rudimental featuring Jess Glynne, Macklemore & Dan Caplen 95650 19 20 19 5 POP DON’T STOP Kim Wilde featuring Ricky Wilde 85200 20 35 20 2 IT’S MY HOUSE MIKA 37500 21 11 2 6 DANCING Kylie Minogue 426750 22 17 4 8 WHERE WE GO P!nk 280800 23 27 23 5 NEVER BE THE SAME Camila Cabello 79950 24 16 1 14 I KNOW YOU Craig David featuring Bastille 610150 25 NEW 25 1 SUICIDE GIRLS DANCE CAIN 18750 26 32 26 5 ISTANBUL IS SLEEPY The Liminanas featuring Anton Newcombe 66400 27 NEW 27 1 HEART TO BREAK Kim Petras 18400 28 19 13 6 THE LAST OF THE REAL ONES Fall Out Boy 143800 29 23 1 12 UNTIL YOU COME BACK TO ME (THAT’S WHAT I’M GONNA DO) Aretha Franklin with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra 918450 30 30 30 4 TWO HIGH Moon Taxi 67650 31 22 10 6 TILL THE AM (STRAWHATZ X KOHARU SUGARAWA’S “KIMONO” DANCE VERSION) TroyBoi 171400 32 45 32 2 CAPITAL LETTERS Hailee Steinfeld featuring BoodPop 30800 33 29 5 22 FEEL IT STILL Portugal.

Hi Jordan :) yes, Black Panther rules the last week or so, film and music :cheer: I had never heard of Chris Stapleton till this collab - he has a great soulful voice, and I had no idea he'd written so many songs - for Adele, Dierks (natch!) and others, including this one! Moon Taxi are another southern US act I'd not heard of, sounds like we need some more breakthrough's into the charts to give 'em a push in the UK... cheers! john

March 4, 20187 yr Hi John! Really liking the new Fratellis track now I've given it a listen! Could possibly be a future Top 5 for me... I see a few BJSC tracks sneaking in, none of my favourites but Heart to Break was quite nice! Nice to see Lullaby sneak in as well, much better than CHFL in my opinion and hope it can grow for you! Great chart :D
March 5, 20187 yr Hello John! Great to see "All The Stars" gain in the top 10! Also great big gainers that I like are: "It's My House" and "Capital Letters". Finally from your debuts I like: "Want You Back", "Lullaby" and "Feel The Love Go"! Great chart overall!

Great chart :D Thanks Pete :) The Fratellis track is also bounding up into my top 20, really catchy, and Paloma Faith could sing a phone book and make it sound good, so Lullaby is also leaping into my 40 cheers! john
