Posted January 7, 20196 yr 6th January 2019 It's a 6th total week on top for the Carpenters, as the new year brings fresh music, fresh climbs, and oldies dropping, xmas songs exiting again. Camelphat get a 2nd top 10, Alan Walker joins himself in the top 10, his 4th, and Albin Lee Meldau his first. Mercury Rev get a 4th top 20, Monkees an umpteenth, depending on how EP's count, and Robbie gets yet another top 20 as he also brings in a low-key lead track off his fansite only 3rd album. What with Take That, Boyzone, Backstreet Boys, it's quite the 90's boyband theme. Andy Burrows is the highest new entry, he's previously topped my chart twice, once with Razorlight, once with I Am Arrows, and gone top 10 solo a few times too. Tom Jones did a flawless off-the-cuff vocal performance on The Voice, with the son of Lonnie Donegan, writer of I'll Never Fall In Love Again, Tom's fab 1967 hit ballad - and has sold loads on itunes as a result. So an excuse to make my charts for the 3rd time then, as I loved it when I was 9 years old and I wasn't quite charting at the time, or else it would have been 4th time round. Other oldies in: lead vocalist of Marmalade Dean Ford died this week, sadly, so Reflections Of My Life is also back, their best record of many minor gems, and also the Captain (Daryl Dragon) of Captain & Tennille has died, so Neil Sedaka's 1976 song top 5 hit for them (in my charts and the USA, but not the UK) is back in. A Chris Isaac moody cover is in for RAIGN, Backstreet Boys get a swift 2nd entry on their latest comeback, and Mary Poppins Returns with the 2 best songs from the new fab movie. It's underperforming at the box office and charts, but I see a future children's classic there. 1 1 1 5 GOODBYE TO LOVE Carpenters & The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra 795000 2 2 2 6 NOTHING BREAKS LIKE A HEART Mark Ronson featuring Miley Cyrus 441050 3 7 3 7 THIS FEELING Chainsmokers featuring Kelsea Ballerini 261000 4 3 3 6 SURVIVE Don Diablo featuring Emeli Sande & Gucci Mane 365200 5 5 1 12 DIAMOND HEART Alan Walker & Sophia Somajo 829500 6 8 6 5 E-LO Los Unidades (Coldplay) & Pharrell Williams featuring Jozzy 156650 7 15 7 8 BREATHE Camelphat & Cristoph featuring Jem Cooke 179800 8 43 8 2 LOST CONTROL Alan Walker & Sorana 61500 9 47 9 2 BOUNCE Albin Lee Meldau 57500 10 6 1 7 TRUE LOVE WAYS Buddy Holly & The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra 542000 11 13 7 5 DOES THE HOMOSAPIEN KNOW Abba vs Pete Shelley 193000 12 9 1 10 SHADOWS Black Atlass 69700 13 11 7 10 BRAZILIAN SOUL The Knocks featuring Sofi Tukker 374000 14 16 14 7 EVERLASTING LOVE The Love Affair 142800 15 4 4 6 SUNSHINE ON LEITH The Proclaimers 220000 16 49 16 2 SERMON Mercury Rev featuring Margo Price 37100 17 10 6 9 THANK YOU, NEXT Ariana Grande 379800 18 23 18 4 WONDERFUL CHRISTMASTIME The Monkees 71050 19 20 19 6 FAVELA Ina Wroldsen & Alok 97750 20 53 20 2 EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD Trevor Horn featuring The Sarm Orchestra & Robbie Williams 31250 21 17 1 9 DRIVE (SYMPHONIC VERSION) The Cars 761750 22 12 4 12 STARFISH Rhys featuring FELIX SANDMAN 465500 23 NEW 23 1 BARCELONA Andy Burrows & Matt Haig 19250 24 24 13 10 BABY Clean Bandit featuring Marina & The Diamonds & Luis Fonzi 202900 25 14 5 8 DON’T START WITHOUT ME The Fizz 233600 26 19 10 8 KEEPING THE DREAM ALIVE The Fizz 211000 27 34 27 6 DREAM ON Aerosmith 68900 28 22 9 7 RISE Raaginder 182550 29 18 8 7 IT’S FOR YOU Cilla Black with The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra 208200 30 21 15 7 YOU’RE GONNA MISS ME Connie Francis 149750 31 40 31 8 OOH LA LA The Faces 88200 32 32 32 8 SWEET BUT PSYCHO Ava Max 81100 33 35 33 5 BACK ON THE CHAIN GANG Morrissey 63800 34 61 34 2 ONLY YOU Theophilus London featuring Tame Impala 25100 35 NEW 35 1 I’LL NEVER FALL IN LOVE AGAIN Tom Jones 17500 36 28 28 5 TIMBUKTU Cassper Nyovest & Los Unidades (Coldplay) featuring Stormzy & Jess Kent 81900 37 45 37 2 WHEN THE PARTY’S OVER Billie Eilish 30300 38 27 3 9 ARREST THE PRESIDENT Ice Cube 330600 39 NEW 39 1 WICKED GAMES RAIGN 17100 40 63 40 2 MAY LOVE TRAVEL WITH YOU Paul Weller 24200 41 25 25 11 BURN Super8 & Tab featuring Hero Baldwin 168400 42 31 4 13 JOY. for KING & COUNTRY 400850 43 30 30 9 HEY DJ CNCO, Meghan Trainor & Sean Paul 127950 44 NEW 44 1 REFLECTIONS OF MY LIFE Marmalade 13250 45 26 26 9 LOVE OF MY LIFE Queen 133700 46 33 33 6 PUNK RIGHT NOW HYO & 3LAU 73550 47 NEW 47 1 NO PLACE Backstreet Boys 12500 48 29 29 9 LONELY STAR Ariana and The Rose 122700 49 37 37 7 INFINITY (MOVEMENT 6) Jean-Michel Jarre 94800 50 57 50 2 COO COO COO Santigold 22400 51 36 20 9 ALGORITHM Muse 149650 52 55 52 2 LOVE HAS ALL BEEN DONE BEFORE Jade Bird 22300 53 41 8 12 HEAVEN LET ME IN Friendly Fires 277450 54 46 2 8 GOOD NIGHT The Beatles 352050 55 58 55 6 PAPER DREAMS Jamie N Commons 45900 56 59 56 6 SPEECHLESS Robin Schulz featuring Erika Sirola 47100 57 56 1 29 HEY LOOK MA, I MADE IT Panic!

It's mainly pain management now, but 12 hours in total worrying in a&e isn't great for one's stress-levels!
January 7, 20196 yr Hello John! Nice to see "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" in your top 20! I also like the debuts for "Happy Now" and "Play"! Great chart!
January 8, 20196 yr Hi John! Giving Lost Control a listen now, I'm quite liking it! Is it a single or just an album track? The drop is particularly nice I think. I don't think I'm that familiar with Marmalade so I'm giving Reflections of My Life a listen now, I'm quite enjoying it! Sounding very much of its time I think but in a good way. Nice to see Play and Happy Now enter lower down in your chart as well - both nice little dance tracks :D Great chart!

That reminds me, I need to compile my BJSC chart of the year 2018 :lol: Lost Control is an album track so far, I think, I'm hoping it's the next single and gets a push. Marmalade were big for 4 years or so in the UK, but have largely been forgotten, which is a shame, they had some good stuff, and so did solo spin-off Junior Campbell. Reflections could prob sound decent with a new version for a xmas ad, I think! cheers! john B-)
