Posted February 17, 20196 yr 17th February 2019 It's a new entry and first week on top for a symphonic version of Echo & The Bunnymen's stunningly great 1984 The Killing Moon, as effectively showcased in the cult movie Donnie Darko. I got the Symphonic 80's album as a CD prezzie, and this was the remaining stand-out version I'd not charted - It originally peaked at 2 in my charts, and the revamp isn't quite as good as the original, but the record has severely under-performed in my charts compared to how I feel about it these days ("absolute classic") so an excuse to chart it is welcome by me. By way of compensation there has been a massive clear-out of oldies from my charts and lots of new stuff. Dua Lipa gets her 2nd number 2, equalling Be The One, and falling short of chart-topper Hotter Than Hell. Zedd's back in the top 20 after his top 20 with Liam Payne in 2017, and Katy Perry is guesting, and back in the top 20 since her swathe of 2017 chart peaks, including a number one with Chained To The Rhythm. The Chainsmokers drag along 5 Seconds Of Summer for another top 40 before the last one has left the 20, while Bob Sinclar gives Robbie Williams his 2nd top 40 guest spot of the year, Robbie's span of hits a surprising 23 years since he gained his Freedom from Take That, or 27 years including the lads. Jungle are back with another top 40, Sigrid pops back with a 3rd, Khalid gets a 2nd in the chart, CHVRCHES are back with another, Kelsea Ballerini gets a 2nd on the chart, and CNCO and Grace Carter both follow-up recent chart action. 1 NEW 1 1 THE KILLING MOON (ORCHESTRAL VERSION) Echo & The Bunnymen 170000 2 10 2 4 SWAN SONG Dua Lipa 188000 3 3 3 5 STARTED OUT Georgia 272200 4 1 1 8 SERMON Mercury Rev featuring Margo Price 460100 5 9 5 4 TRAMPOLINE SHAED 174000 6 4 4 4 JUICE Lizzo 207000 7 12 7 4 BETTER THAN ME Ten Tonnes 121000 8 8 8 5 CANDLELIGHT Jack Savoretti 154200 9 16 9 3 ME & U Tommy Trash featuring Anna Lunoe 81750 10 2 2 6 MY OCTOBER SYMPHONY Pet Shop Boys 297900 11 14 4 8 LOST CONTROL Alan Walker & Sorana 350500 12 6 1 13 THIS FEELING Chainsmokers featuring Kelsea Ballerini 806000 13 20 13 3 GOT TO KEEP ON The Chemical Brothers 57400 14 11 6 8 ONLY YOU Theophilus London featuring Tame Impala 249500 15 7 1 12 NOTHING BREAKS LIKE A HEART Mark Ronson featuring Miley Cyrus 953050 16 19 16 2 WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT THE RICH?

February 17, 20196 yr Hello John! Nice to see "Swan Song" leap to #2! I also like the big gain for "Bones" into the top 20 and the debuts for "365", "Who Do You Love", "Electrico Romantico", "Don't Feel Like Crying", "Talk" and "Graffiti"! Great chart!

February 19, 20196 yr Hi John! Giving your #1 a listen now (or at least the version I think you're referring to), it's sounding quite nice! I did indeed get to see Georgia, she has some great tracks that I'd never heard before and she's great live! Speaking of Jungle, I see Beat 54 enter - it's one of the best from the album, but the song that stuck out to me that I wasn't that familiar with was Casio - and it turns out that's their newest single :o What a coincidence. Great to see Sigrid enter as well, much preferring this one to Sucker Punch, and Talk sounds nice from the few times I've heard it as well! Great chart :D

White Lies is a familiar scenario to me :lol: Pretty sure I had a winner and didn't send it, but then again Jordan had a goodie and passed on it so I had to send that one, so swings & roundabouts. As long as I don't have to host and show how rubbish I am at it :lol:
February 24, 20196 yr Author Hey John! Great to see some new entries here!

Yes I got the name wrong last week (it's Symphonic version) oops! Glad you like it though :) Glad Georgia & Jungle are fab in concert :cheer: Both in my top 10 this week. Playing Casio now it's good indeed, so I;d better add it to my itunes basket pronto! Thanks for the tip! :) It might be my fave Sigrid track yet, and ditto for Khalid, he's very consistently good, I see him breaking through to the big time soon I hope. cheers! John B-)
