Posted March 5, 20187 yr 4th March 2018 It's a first chart-topper for Kendrick Lamar and SZA as they leapfrog Kendrick's other Black Panther soundtrack hit with The Weeknd who has to be content with yet another number 2 peak. Lissie goes up to 3 with her 6th chart entry, beating the 6 peak of When I'm Alone in 2010, and Hailee Steinfeld gets a first top 10, and a 2nd top 20 in one fell swoop. Florida Georgia Line similarly get a first top 10 and almost get a second one in the same week. Janelle Monae gets her 3rd top 10 in 6 years since she hit 2 with fun. but her first solo entry with the very Prince-inspired and highest-climbing Make Me Feel. Funktastic. The Fratellis get their 5th top 20 entry, the first for 11 years, while highest new entry has gone all Pete Tong - as he turns into a Killer with his 2nd top 40 classic dance cover, featuring Seal, who thus gets a 3rd version of the 1990 Adamski chart-topper into my charts. He got no credit for what is essentially his own song, sung by himself (how times have changed, these days you get a label credit for farting in the background accidentally). He did record his own hit version a few years later but it wasn't as good, though he did get another 2 chart-toppers himself alone in the 90's. Just to rub it in, his 1990 classic debut hit, Crazy, has been covered in a very different style by Think Up Anger, and renamed Mutiny. No idea why Crazy isn't the title. New act Ria Mae is the highest new song, at 27, as Sigala and Paloma Faith both add to their list of top 40 tracks as Lullaby rockets into the 30. Alan Walker gets a 3rd top 40, Noah Cyrus a second, Imagine Dragons 4 out of 4 from the new album, and Rosemary Martins covers Donna Summer reggae-style spearheading a reggae-presence of 3 as UB40 also cover Stevie Wonder to get a 2nd in the chart. Or 2 UB20's (almost, 3 members at any rate) which adds up to UB40 pretty much, given the actual vocalist Ali is singing. Meghan Trainor is back, ditto Marshmello, Anne-Marie, and Gary Numan - Gazza has been absent since 2002, so he now extends his chart career to 39 years since Are 'Friends' Electric topped my chart in the summer of '79. My Name Is Ruin is his best effort in a decade and a half. 1 3 1 5 ALL THE STARS Kendrick Lamar and SZA 286350 2 1 1 4 MONSTERS Saara Aalto 625000 3 9 3 4 BEST DAYS Lissie 169000 4 6 4 6 SAY SOMETHING Justin Timberlake featuring Chris Stapleton 290000 5 5 5 6 THE DECONSTRUCTION Eels 209950 6 13 6 4 LET ME GO Hailee Steinfeld featuring Florida Georgia Line & watt 119200 7 2 2 5 PRAY FOR ME The Weeknd and Kendrick Lamar 382000 8 4 4 4 FEEL LIKE I DO Disclosure & Al Green 226000 9 67 9 2 MAKE ME FEEL Janelle Monae 51600 10 10 10 7 NEVER Embrace featuring Kerri Watt 227400 11 12 11 15 BANDALA The Partridge Family featuring David Cassidy & Shirley Jones 289500 12 17 12 4 MEANT TO BE Bebe Rexha featuring Florida Georgia Line 94300 13 27 13 2 HEART TO BREAK Kim Petras 50400 14 7 1 6 ANYONE WHO KNOWS WHAT LOVE IS (WILL UNDERSTAND) Irma Thomas 619000 15 20 15 3 IT’S MY HOUSE MIKA 64500 16 39 16 3 STARCROSSED LOSERS The Fratellis 59100 17 8 3 7 I WISH I KNEW YOU The Revivalists 346400 18 18 18 6 THESE DAYS Rudimental featuring Jess Glynne, Macklemore & Dan Caplen 117650 19 32 19 3 CAPITAL LETTERS Hailee Steinfeld featuring BoodPop 51800 20 11 7 6 BIG AS I CAN DREAM/ COMEBACK SSION 242000 21 15 3 11 ON OUR WAY HOME Empire Of The Sun 642350 22 14 5 7 TIL I’M DONE Paloma Faith 263500 23 NEW 23 1 KILLER Pete Tong Heritage Orchestra featuring Seal 19250 24 25 24 2 SUICIDE GIRLS DANCE CAIN 37750 25 16 8 8 FOR YOU Liam Payne & Rita Ora 215950 26 36 26 3 SAY YEAH Kishi Bashi 47900 27 NEW 27 1 BREAK Ria Mae 18400 28 71 28 2 LULLABY Sigala & Paloma Faith 24100 29 59 29 3 ALL FALLS DOWN Alan Walker featuring Noah Cyrus & Digital Farm Animals 35100 30 19 19 6 POP DON’T STOP Kim Wilde featuring Ricky Wilde 103200 31 24 1 15 I KNOW YOU Craig David featuring Bastille 628050 32 22 4 9 WHERE WE GO P!nk 298600 33 29 1 13 UNTIL YOU COME BACK TO ME (THAT’S WHAT I’M GONNA DO) Aretha Franklin with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra 936150 34 26 26 6 ISTANBUL IS SLEEPY The Liminanas featuring Anton Newcombe 84000 35 35 35 5 RHIANNON (ALBUM VERSION) Fleetwood Mac 80400 36 49 36 3 LABYRINTH MONDO GROSSO featuring Hikari Mitsushima 35100 37 40 37 4 MEXICO Mexican Institute Of Sound 50800 38 70 38 2 NEXT TO ME Imagine Dragons 23200 39 28 13 7 THE LAST OF THE REAL ONES Fall Out Boy 160900 40 46 40 4 SOFIA Alvaro Soler 46650 41 21 2 7 DANCING Kylie Minogue 440750 42 NEW 42 1 LOVE TO LOVE YOU BABY Rosemary Martins 13750 43 30 30 5 TWO HIGH Moon Taxi 81150 44 34 3 15 LIST OF PEOPLE (TO TRY AND FORGET) Tame Impala 575950 45 33 5 23 FEEL IT STILL Portugal.

March 11, 20187 yr Hi John! Say Something still growing on me, could possibly be my favourite JT track? Chris sounds great on it too! Not heard much of Janelle Monae before but Make me Feel does sound nice!
