Posted April 16, 20187 yr 15th April 2018 It's Canadian Ria Mae on top with the classy and clever EDM of Bend heading off the mighty singalong yee haw of Kylie's A Lifetime To Repair, surely it must be a single! Of last week's deluge of album tracks, Eels leapfrog themselves to grab a second top 10 of 2018, and that surely must be the next single. Lana Del Ray's definitively touching version of You Must Love Me gives her a 6th top 10, 3 of them covers - Blue Velvet from the 60's, You Must Love Me from the 90's, and Disney's Once Upon A Dream from 1959. It's rare that I like covers better than the originals, but Lana has a knack for it. Kylie gets a 4th top 10 of the year with Jack Savoretti, a 6th top 20, and a 7th top 30, and it's only April. I don't know how many times she's featured in my charts (my stats are not anywhere near complete yet) but she's had at least 55 since 1997, and I'm guessing at least 25 prior to that so well on the way to 100. Not bad from someone I dismissed as a weedy-voiced SAW novelty soap-star 30 years ago, and who I'm paying £80 to see in September (again). The Weeknd replaces himself in my top 20, his 3rd of the year, Kacey Musgraves goes top 30, Florence is back in the 40, her 19th chart entry in 9 years. There are only 2 new entries, at 74 another single from P!nk (wrong choice though, Where We Go was the commercial one) and yet another Pet Shop Boys album track from their debut Please, and the last one lined up to debut in my chart. Actually will get attention next, the deluxe version. 1 5 1 7 BEND Ria Mae 396300 2 2 2 2 A LIFETIME TO REPAIR Kylie Minogue 230000 3 1 1 2 I’M A MARIONETTE Abba 255000 4 3 1 4 YOU’RE SO COOL Jonathan Bree 368000 5 4 1 10 BEST DAYS Lissie 779000 6 6 1 11 ALL THE STARS Kendrick Lamar and SZA 926350 7 7 7 5 MAKE YOUR OWN KIND OF MUSIC Paloma Faith 172300 8 28 8 2 YOU ARE THE SHINING LIGHT Eels 66300 9 50 9 2 YOU MUST LOVE ME Lana Del Ray 57000 10 36 10 2 MUSIC’S TOO SAD WITHOUT YOU Kylie Minogue & Jack Savoretti 59400 11 17 11 2 SWEET SCORCHED EARTH Eels 60000 12 8 4 5 STOP ME FROM FALLING Kylie Minogue 251000 13 13 13 3 RAINING GLITTER Kylie Minogue 83750 14 9 9 3 NOTHING TO REGRET Robinson 103000 15 12 3 12 SAY SOMETHING Justin Timberlake featuring Chris Stapleton 597000 16 19 16 11 RHIANNON (ALBUM VERSION) Fleetwood Mac 204600 17 30 17 2 EVERY LITTLE PART OF ME Kylie Minogue 41000 18 11 6 9 STARCROSSED LOSERS The Fratellis 292100 19 16 4 10 LET ME GO Hailee Steinfeld featuring Florida Georgia Line & watt 400200 20 25 20 2 CALL OUT MY NAME The Weeknd 38750 21 14 11 6 SANCTIFY Years & Years 161850 22 10 10 9 CAPITAL LETTERS Hailee Steinfeld featuring BoodPop 217300 23 15 15 5 KANDY KRUSH Kim Wilde 82650 24 56 24 2 SINCERELY YOURS Kylie Minogue 29600 25 18 10 6 IN DEEP LOVE Beca 178750 26 20 20 2 HURT YOU The Weeknd featuring Gesaffelstein 38500 27 54 27 2 HIGH HORSE Kacey Musgraves 29400 28 21 14 8 LULLABY Sigala & Paloma Faith 153900 29 24 1 10 MONSTERS Saara Aalto 887200 30 32 30 6 VINCENT Don McLean 98400 31 22 6 8 MAKE ME FEEL Janelle Monae 263000 32 27 27 5 TIME IN A BOTTLE Lykke Li 78000 33 37 33 4 SAY AMEN (SATURDAY NIGHT) Panic!

April 16, 20187 yr John, where is a new track (Hot Boy) from Samantha Fox or you don't like her songs ? I had the idea about a ranking of all 100 ABBA songs, but the list wasn't finished, maybe one day I will do it. Edited April 16, 20187 yr by Good Old Days
April 17, 20187 yr Hello John! Heard the Ria Mae song, it's good. I also like the re-entry for "These Days" and the debut for "Whatever You Want"! Great chart as always!
April 18, 20187 yr Hi John! Just given the Kylie/Jack song a listen - it definitely sounds like a grower, I'll try to give it a few more listens! Nice to see Flames climbing - hope it can become a moderqate-sized hit over here! Great chart :D
April 22, 20187 yr Hi John, Still a lot of Kylie... The Weeknd up :cheer: Years & Years down :nono: Love both new entries at 74 and 75!
April 23, 20187 yr Author John, where is a new track (Hot Boy) from Samantha Fox or you don't like her songs ? I had the idea about a ranking of all 100 ABBA songs, but the list wasn't finished, maybe one day I will do it. Hi Alex, I'm afraid I was never a fan of Sam's voice, oops! :D Snap! I've also thought about a top 100 Abba ranking, though I will eventually have a complete chart "sales" of how any Abba track has done in my charts on database - I'm over half way through all my old charts getting them onto spreadsheets, so I just have the sales to sort once that's done - though actually I already have the single sales pretty much so I just have to work out Happy Hawaii I think.... :lol: There's still loads of old fave album tracks that have never charted though so it wont be entirely accurate on how I feel :o

Nice to see Flames climbing - hope it can become a moderqate-sized hit over here! Great chart :D Hi Pete, Thanks, and that Kylie/Jack song is fab in the right mood - I wasnt quite in the right mood when I compiled my chart yesterday, so a slight dip. Flames is still going up, though I am hearing it quite a lot on Radio 2 and over-familiarity can be an issue :lol: cheers! john B-)
April 23, 20187 yr Author Hi John, Still a lot of Kylie... The Weeknd up :cheer: Years & Years down :nono: Love both new entries at 74 and 75! Hi Sven Thanks and yes Kylie rules pretty much, who coulda guessed!? :o Years & Years is still good, but other stuff I love more - oops! Still playing it in my car though :) cheers! john B-)
