Posted March 13, 20187 yr 11th March 2018 It's a second week on top for Kendrick Lamarr and SZA, a great movie song for the closing credits, leading a static top 4, all still sounding fab. The Partridge Family's 1970 album track and TV show performance finally makes my top 10, err, 47 years late - the episode featured around a Black urban area show for charity, so fits in nicely with a blockbuster black superhero movie. In 1971 (when I first saw the TV show) I was into DC comics with social conscience themes, like Teen Titans and many others. It was a time of optimism that things were changing. Killer makes the top 10 for the 3rd time for Seal, all versions different, and The Fratellis make it a 4th top 10, while highest new entry is from a newish US singer called Beca who popped up on my twitter with her new mid-80's sounding track, We exchanged some messages, I bought it, and here it is in at 18, ironically ahead of the lead track from Pet Shop Boys first album - it's sort of late 80's Pet Shop Boys-sounding in some respects with the synth chords. The PSB's have 3 reissues with bonus tracks, giving me an opportunity to own them on CD as well as vinyl, charting in the UK top 75, and a chance to chart all those tracks that I excluded because I didnt let album tracks into my charts once I started buying Abba albums - or else the chart would have been Ed-Sheeran-ed to death. Big climbs for LPX and Meghan Trainor, Years & Years return, Don McLean's classic 1972 UK chart-topper is back for the first time in 46 years as it re-enters the UK top 75 sales chart this week, giving me a perfect reason to let it have a decent chart run - I preferred American Pie at the time, and it was much better than I rated it at the time. Vincent isn't about me (my middle name), but is about Van Gogh. His great great nephew lives locally running a transport service: Vincent Van Hire. Maybe. Others: Leona Lewis is back, Owl City is back, both after breaks, Rainbow Kitten Surprise is not as cuddly as it sounds at all, alt-rock pretty much, but good, and in at the bottom end it's Sting back with an assist from Shaggy. Some have commented on the Youtube video that they are surprised at the pairing, never saw that one coming, and the like. Being old, I'm more surprised it took this long for them to pair up: Sting had non-stop reggae-rock monsters for 3 years in The Police, almost 40 years ago, and by 1993 when Shaggy was huge, so was reggae huge again, including Sting having more reggae hits with reggae acts on loan. The new one's more gentle and less gutsy or poppy than the older ones, but nice to have them both back. 1 1 1 6 ALL THE STARS Kendrick Lamar and SZA 456350 2 2 1 5 MONSTERS Saara Aalto 740000 3 3 3 5 BEST DAYS Lissie 254000 4 4 4 7 SAY SOMETHING Justin Timberlake featuring Chris Stapleton 355000 5 6 5 5 LET ME GO Hailee Steinfeld featuring Florida Georgia Line & watt 179200 6 9 6 3 MAKE ME FEEL Janelle Monae 106600 7 5 5 7 THE DECONSTRUCTION Eels 259950 8 11 8 16 BANDALA The Partridge Family featuring David Cassidy & Shirley Jones 347500 9 23 9 2 KILLER Pete Tong Heritage Orchestra featuring Seal 62250 10 16 10 4 STARCROSSED LOSERS The Fratellis 101100 11 7 2 6 PRAY FOR ME The Weeknd and Kendrick Lamar 419000 12 13 12 3 HEART TO BREAK Kim Petras 85400 13 8 4 5 FEEL LIKE I DO Disclosure & Al Green 257000 14 15 14 4 IT’S MY HOUSE MIKA 93500 15 12 12 5 MEANT TO BE Bebe Rexha featuring Florida Georgia Line 121300 16 19 16 4 CAPITAL LETTERS Hailee Steinfeld featuring BoodPop 76800 17 10 10 8 NEVER Embrace featuring Kerri Watt 250400 18 NEW 18 1 IN DEEP LOVE Beca 22000 19 14 1 7 ANYONE WHO KNOWS WHAT LOVE IS (WILL UNDERSTAND) Irma Thomas 640000 20 29 20 4 ALL FALLS DOWN Alan Walker featuring Noah Cyrus & Digital Farm Animals 55100 21 28 21 3 LULLABY Sigala & Paloma Faith 43850 22 26 22 4 SAY YEAH Kishi Bashi 67400 23 21 3 12 ON OUR WAY HOME Empire Of The Sun 661600 24 17 3 8 I WISH I KNEW YOU The Revivalists 365400 25 52 25 2 SLIDE LPX 30250 26 18 18 7 THESE DAYS Rudimental featuring Jess Glynne, Macklemore & Dan Caplen 136150 27 27 27 2 BREAK Ria Mae 36800 28 20 7 7 BIG AS I CAN DREAM/ COMEBACK SSION 260300 29 38 29 3 NEXT TO ME Imagine Dragons 41400 30 35 30 6 RHIANNON (ALBUM VERSION) Fleetwood Mac 98400 31 22 5 8 TIL I’M DONE Paloma Faith 281400 32 25 8 9 FOR YOU Liam Payne & Rita Ora 233750 33 57 33 2 NO EXCUSES Meghan Trainor 28100 34 36 34 4 LABYRINTH MONDO GROSSO featuring Hikari Mitsushima 52700 35 24 24 3 SUICIDE GIRLS DANCE CAIN 55250 36 37 36 5 MEXICO Mexican Institute Of Sound 68200 37 33 1 14 UNTIL YOU COME BACK TO ME (THAT’S WHAT I’M GONNA DO) Aretha Franklin with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra 953450 38 42 38 2 LOVE TO LOVE YOU BABY Rosemary Martins 30950 39 NEW 39 1 SANCTIFY Years & Years 17100 40 30 19 7 POP DON’T STOP Kim Wilde featuring Ricky Wilde 120200 41 NEW 41 1 NOT ABOUT YOU HAIKU HANDS 14000 42 31 1 16 I KNOW YOU Craig David featuring Bastille 641800 43 32 4 10 WHERE WE GO P!nk 312100 44 NEW 44 1 VINCENT Don McLean 13250 45 34 26 7 ISTANBUL IS SLEEPY The Liminanas featuring Anton Newcombe 97000 46 NEW 46 1 HANDERNA MOT HIMLEN Petra Marklund 12750 47 39 13 8 THE LAST OF THE REAL ONES Fall Out Boy 173400 48 40 40 5 SOFIA Alvaro Soler 58950 49 NEW 49 1 YOU ARE THE REASON (DUET VERSION) Calum Scott & Leona Lewis 12100 50 53 50 6 DEEPER nervous_testpilot 52450 51 59 51 2 FEELING GOOD Strobe! featuring KIDDO 21850 52 44 3 16 LIST OF PEOPLE (TO TRY AND FORGET) Tame Impala 587450 53 51 1 16 HOW CAN I BE SURE David Cassidy 981300 54 43 30 6 TWO HIGH Moon Taxi 92150 55 60 55 2 MY NAME IS RUIN Gary Numan 20800 56 45 5 24 FEEL IT STILL Portugal.

Thrilled to see Hailee & co Top 5! Great chart as ever :D Thanks AH, always fab to see how much you love - and you MUST be psychic as I just played the Please remaster and there will be a high new entry (at looooong last) for a previously uncharted quote as the album is in the UK 75 and that allows me to chart uncharted album tracks :lol: kylie dropped fast, partly cos I got a bit less enamoured of it quickly but also cos I didnt get tickets for her Bournemouth concert as she allowed O2 customers & inflated priced secondary ticketing sites to get priority ahead of Friday general sale (by which time they had sold out). So I'm a bit miffed at the undemocratic attitude at the mo and hearing Dancing just rubs it in :( cheers! john
March 18, 20187 yr Hi John! Starcrossed Losers Top 10 :cheer: hopefully it can continue its path upwards Great to see Lucid Dream enter - glad you've taken to it! It's an early contender for my EOY #1 although I do hope I find something better I thought that was a new Pet Shop Boys track for a second there :P Beca sounds nice anyway, reminds me of that NINA track I sent to BJSC Great chart :D
