Posted January 27, 20196 yr 27th January 2019 It's 2 weeks on top for Pet Shop Boys great 1992 single Jealousy, presiding over a shuffling top 10, with Mark Ronson yet again being denied the top spot due to oldies. Tom Jones The Voice-pushed itunes charting oldie is peaking at 9 for thee second time this century - it last did it in 2003, and charted again in 2011 - had I been charting in 1967 it would have gone top 10 then too, and again in 1969 when it became a US hit (had I been aware of it). Georgia rockets to 10 from 58, one I'd missed late last year, followed closely by the highest new entries from Lizzo, and SHAED, the former on Radio 1 & 2 playlists, the latter an Apple Music advert. Big climbs for The Specials back in the top 30 for at least the 10th time, or 20th counting Fun Boy Three and solo projects, Halsey finally cracks the 40 with her current smash, and Charlotte Gainsbourg does it on her second chart feature, a mere 44 years since her mum & dad were dropping having topped my chart over the new year 1974/75 with a very naughty banned record that I bought. Dua Lipa's back, so many hits so little time for a breather in between, and Dido returns for the first time in years, extending her run to 19 years solo. Both Dua and Dido have topped my charts previously. Trevor Horn does a mellow version of his own production for Grace Jones - this time with Rumer - and at the bottom end, 4 tracks boosted by TV adverts, singing comps and stuff, all in the itunes charts. Only Solomon Burke has never charted before (a 1962 oldie featured in Dirty Dancing) and only Smooth has topped my charts before. 1 1 1 3 JEALOUSY (ALBUM VERSION) Pet Shop Boys 425000 2 3 2 9 NOTHING BREAKS LIKE A HEART Mark Ronson featuring Miley Cyrus 706050 3 2 1 10 THIS FEELING Chainsmokers featuring Kelsea Ballerini 631000 4 6 4 5 LOST CONTROL Alan Walker & Sorana 236500 5 7 5 4 WICKED GAMES RAIGN 156100 6 8 6 5 ONLY YOU Theophilus London featuring Tame Impala 146500 7 5 5 5 BOUNCE Albin Lee Meldau 215500 8 9 8 5 SERMON Mercury Rev featuring Margo Price 165100 9 15 9 4 I’LL NEVER FALL IN LOVE AGAIN Tom Jones 109500 10 58 10 2 STARTED OUT Georgia 52200 11 4 1 8 GOODBYE TO LOVE Carpenters & The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra 1012000 12 17 12 3 MY OCTOBER SYMPHONY Pet Shop Boys 75900 13 NEW 13 1 JUICE Lizzo 32000 14 11 1 15 DIAMOND HEART Alan Walker & Sophia Somajo 945500 15 NEW 15 1 TRAMPOLINE SHAED 27000 16 10 10 4 (UNDERNEATH THE) LOVELY LONDON SKY Lin-Manuel Miranda 102100 17 12 6 8 E-LO Los Unidades (Coldplay) & Pharrell Williams featuring Jozzy 259650 18 19 18 4 BARCELONA Andy Burrows & Matt Haig 82000 19 27 19 3 HOPE IS A DANGEROUS THING Lana Del Ray 57600 20 26 20 5 WHEN THE PARTY’S OVER Billie Eilish 87300 21 14 7 11 BREATHE Camelphat & Cristoph featuring Jem Cooke 265550 22 16 1 13 SHADOWS Black Atlass 768500 23 28 23 3 GIANT Calvin Harris & Rag’n’Bone Man 54550 24 29 24 5 LOVELY Billie Eilish & Khalid 71100 25 57 25 2 VOTE FOR ME The Specials 29150 26 33 26 2 CANDLELIGHT Jack Savoretti 36200 27 13 3 9 SURVIVE Don Diablo featuring Emeli Sande & Gucci Mane 457600 28 20 20 4 NO PLACE Backstreet Boys 70050 29 36 29 5 LOVE HAS ALL BEEN DONE BEFORE Jade Bird 69900 30 35 30 5 HOLA (I SAY) Marco Mengoni featuring Tom Walker 57900 31 31 31 4 REFLECTIONS OF MY LIFE Marmalade 66250 32 22 6 12 THANK YOU, NEXT Ariana Grande 436600 33 40 33 5 WE APPRECIATE POWER Grimes featuring HANA 61950 34 24 24 9 DREAM ON Aerosmith 124500 35 23 7 13 BRAZILIAN SOUL The Knocks featuring Sofi Tukker 433750 36 37 36 3 DANCING WITH A STRANGER Sam Smith & Normani 40300 37 53 37 3 WITHOUT ME Halsey 36050 38 46 38 4 PLAY Jax Jones & Years & Years 42350 39 72 39 2 SUCH A REMARKABLE DAY Charlotte Gainsbourg 22700 40 44 40 3 HELLO MY LOVE Westlife 40850 41 21 1 10 TRUE LOVE WAYS Buddy Holly & The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra 607750 42 30 30 5 SIXTEEN Thomas Rhett 61650 43 18 5 10 EVERLASTING LOVE The Love Affair 238300 44 25 18 5 EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD Trevor Horn featuring The Sarm Orchestra & Robbie Williams 85250 45 NEW 45 1 BETTER THAN ME Ten Tonnes 13000 46 32 32 5 MAY LOVE TRAVEL WITH YOU Paul Weller 72150 47 34 15 10 YOU’RE GONNA MISS ME Connie Francis 197850 48 39 39 5 COO COO COO Santigold 64550 49 52 49 4 LONELY NIGHTS (ANGEL FACE) Captain & Tennille 41300 50 55 50 4 I JUST WANT PEOPLE TO LIKE ME Robbie Williams 34900 51 NEW 51 1 SWAN SONG Dua Lipa 11750 52 41 1 12 DRIVE (SYMPHONIC VERSION) The Cars 806000 53 69 53 2 MY LOVE GOES ON James Morrison featuring Joss Stone 17450 54 43 9 10 RISE Raaginder 224750 55 71 55 2 DANCE MUSIC Bananarama 16600 56 56 56 5 NORMAL BOY Boyzone 40000 57 38 32 11 SWEET BUT PSYCHO Ava Max 122200 58 64 58 3 LONGSHOT Catfish & The Bottlemen 23900 59 NEW 59 1 GIVE YOU UP Dido 10100 60 60 1 32 HEY LOOK MA, I MADE IT Panic!

January 28, 20196 yr Hello John! Nice to see the debuts for "Swan Song", "September" and "Smooth"! I LOVE Dua Lipa, so me liking "Swan Song" is very giving, also it could be my #1 on Friday. As for "September" and "Smooth,", both are very great classics! And very catchy too! Great chart!
January 29, 20196 yr Hi John! Great to see new songs in your chart! Glad you like Georgia's Started Out and seems many others do now. It has a pretty strange tune and arrangement but they work well so it is a pretty good song. Nice week!
February 3, 20196 yr Hi John, Great new entry from Lizzo (Jefferson) Nice entry for Dua Lipa. Love the oldies from Earth Wind & Fire and Santana & Rob Thomas. And Tom Jones Top 10 :cheer:
