Posted October 22, 20186 yr 21st October 2018 It's a first chart-topper for Gallant after a few years of trying, as he also hits 4 with his second biggest-track. TOOGOODTOBETRUE is just gorgeous and it also gives Sufjan Stevens a second chart-topper less than 2 years after his first, and 13 years since frist going top 10. Sam Cooke hit 11 around that time with A Change Is Gonna Come, written for the Civil Rights movement of the 60's in the USA, which meant a lot to me at the time (the cause, that is, the song came years later as Sam Cooke was dead before I even knew who he was). The Doctor Who Rosa Parks episode struck a chord with me, and boosted this 50-odd-year-old track into my top 10 for the first time, Sam Cooke's first since 1986's Wonderful World advert reisssue. Paul Weller gets his first top 10 in a couple of years, and extends his run of top 10's to 40 years since he was down in the tube station at midnight. Sia gets a 3rd simultaneous track with the highest new entry at 18 - I'm Still Here she sings. I don't think we had any doubt about that, her songs are everywhere! Alan Walker is back for a 4th top 40, Mylo is back after a decade-long absence with Judie Tzuke also in the 40 after a gap of oohhh, 38 years or so. Rod makes it 47 years of top 40's. Shawn Mendes & Zedd are both returning, T'Pau's Carol Decker is back after a gap of well-over 2 decades with her best single in 25 years, Spock's Vulcan religious/political matriarch was called T'Pau. Staying with the 80's theme, it's not just T'Pau...a mega-artist collab enters for the touring 80's package acts New Kids On The Block, Tiffany, Debbie Gibson, Salt-n-Pepa, Naughty By Nature, and it's nicely got that late 80's vibe about it. Most of them havent bothered my charts since the early 90's, bar Jordan Knight (NKOTB) and Salt-N-Pepa who carried it on to the late 90's. Friendly Fires and LP both return, Laibach debut after decades of raucous shouty metal - with something completely opposite, classy orchestral works, and the late fab Ofra Haza returns with her signature tune 30-years-on. 1 2 1 4 TOOGOODTOBETRUE Gallant featuring Sufjan Stevens & Rebecca Sugar 391000 2 1 1 3 SHE Charles Aznavour 345000 3 3 3 4 IDEA The O’My’s featuring Chance The Rapper 258000 4 5 4 4 MAD AT YOU Noah Cyrus & Gallant 168750 5 8 5 2 TIME CAN HEAL A MAN SAVEUS 108000 6 40 6 6 A CHANGE IS GONNA COME Sam Cooke 107650 7 6 6 6 SECRETS P!nk 248400 8 7 2 5 NOTHING BURNS LIKE THE COLD Snoh Aalegra featuring Vince Staples 428000 9 9 9 4 MOVES Olly Murs featuring Snoop Dogg 141000 10 37 10 2 GRAVITY Paul Weller 59300 11 11 11 3 ON MY WAY Bunt. featuring Leah Haywood 79400 12 4 1 5 LEFT TO MY OWN DEVICES (ALBUM VERSION) Pet Shop Boys 610000 13 15 13 4 HEAVY, CALIFORNIA Jungle 89000 14 12 1 18 HEY LOOK MA, I MADE IT Panic!

October 27, 20186 yr Hi John! Giving your #1 a listen now - it sounds quite relaxing, not something I think I'd choose to listen to but I'm enjoying listening to it now! Don't think I realised Sia had a new song out :o On first listen it's definitely sounding like a grower. Lots of BJSC here as well - in fact most of the songs I charted! Girls Go Wild, Starfish, Stop Talking and Deep Water were all great. Great chart :D
October 27, 20186 yr Hello John! Nice to see the big gains for "All I Am" and "Polaroid" and the debuts for "Diamond Heart", "Lost In Japan (Remix)", "Heaven Let Me In" and "Girls Go Wild"! Great chart!

Sia has new songs out almost weekly these days, it's hard to keep up! :lol: Not surprised at all that we like a lot of the same BJSC tracks, I often go for your choices and pick up helpful tips from your charts :) cheers!
