22nd April 2018

 

It's Kylie on top with album track country ho-down A Lifetime To Repair, MUST be a future single surely! It's the 2nd time she's taken an album track on top (Aphrodite in 2011 was the previous one), and the 12th time on top. Bizarrely it took her 6 years of singles to grab one (1994 Put Yourself In My Place) and another 6 years to wait for a second one (Kids, with Robbie) before the floodgates opened - 2001, 2 in 2002, 2005, 2 in 2010, 2014, and most recently 2017 as guest vocalist with Zoot Woman. Meanwhile her new version of Stop Me From Falling with added Gente De Zona and Spanish lyrics ahead of my Spanish holiday next week does what it says on the tin - stops her from falling, and it climbs back into the top 5, helped by a Queen's birthday performance.

 

That stops Abba from grabbing the top with 1978 chart-topper Summer Night City, back out for World Record Day, which leads a mini-invasion of vinyl-retro-reissues from The Undertones (1979 under-appreciated gem), William De Vaughan (ditto 1974 gem back with the original version 44 years on), Boz Scaggs 1977 top 10 great, Holland-Dozier's post-Motown goodie a full 46 years since it last made my top 20, and 1998 chart-topper from Air, Sexy Boy.

 

Highest new track is from Built By Titan at 19, with Foster The People (2011 former chart-toppers) back after a 4-year gap with their already second-biggest chart hit at 23, and Miles Kane is back with his first solo entry in 5 years, and some 7 years on from his top 10 Rearrange. Plus he gives Lana Del Ray a second chart presence. Dua Lipa and Ariana Grande add to their list of entries, while Calvin Harris extends his run to 11 years including 2 chart-toppers in 2013 and 2015.

 

Another DJ superstar-producer died tragically young at 28 this week, which explains the several returns for Swedish Tim Bergling aka Avicii. His best track remains Hey Brother for me, one of 4 top 10's, though he also worked with Benny & Bjorn of Abba for a Eurovision collaboration, and belatedly his recent hit with Rita Ora enters my chart for the first time as I caught the video at the end of a music video tribute show.

Summer Night City will be somewhere between # 45 - # 50 in my ABBA songs ranking, I'm A Marionette have a good chances for Top 30.

 

John, you can know all lowest positions (# 100 to # 73) from the separated thread on Haven forum.

Hello John!

Great that "Stop Me From Falling" is in your top 10, it grew on me a lot, also I hope you will enjoy your holiday in Spain!

As for your debuts I really like: the Avicii debuts, "No Tears Left To Cry", "Sit Next To Me" and "One Kiss"!

Great chart as always!

Hi John,

 

Nice oldies from ABBA, Boz Scaggs, DHD and Dinah Washington.

Did you hear ABBA will come together and make some new tracks?

 

Kylie/Gente De Zona already Top 10 :cheer:

Ariana Grande new entry at the bottom. Hope she will climb up the ladder?

 

Nice Avicii tribute !

Hi sven,

 

Thanks and yes i heard the abba news! My jaw dropped!! 44 years since i fell in love with abba its hard to believe :o

Ariana will indeed climb im still only just started listening to it :)

 

Cheers!

Hi John,

 

Bend is one of my favourite songs from this month's BJSC, hope it does well for you :D

 

Speaking of BJSC, glad you've taken to Broken Love so much! I had absolutely no idea it was even a Top 20 contender, my thought process was more of a 'well that's all I've got... might as well send it' :P

 

Some Avicii as well, my prayers are with his family at the moment :( Hey Brother is a real classic, although Waiting For Love is the track that really got me into him, I really like the verse and knowing Simon Aldred was the singer just sweetened the deal.

 

Great chart :D

A Lifetime To Repair is my favourite track from the album, it definitely deserves to be a single! It's great to see it #1 here!

 

Broken Love was a great BJSC track :D
