Posted May 5, 20197 yr 5th March 2019 It's a second week on top for Raleigh Ritchie's lovely track which speaks to me as much as him, I expect - the sentiment is something I can relate to, being as my life is a rollercoaster of busy-ness interspersed with the odd bit of time doing charts. Just sitting and enjoying life gently passing by isn't something I get to do much. Madonna is still at 2 for a second week and Harry James & Kitty Kallen shoot up to 3, which easily makes it the highest-placed charting track to predate the 1950's, courtesy of Endgame's closing credits. Mark Ronson makes it 2 in a row top 10's, and his 4th in total, Lykke Li getting her first, while Dennis Lloyd does the same. Bruce Springsteen leaps into the 20 in a single bound, his first top 20 charting track in 5 years, or his 10th in the last 20 years, and umpteenth since his first in 1975. Yes that one. Born To Run peaked outside the top 10 first time round but topped my chart in 2009. Vargas and Legoland get a second simultaneous top 30 as As Long As I Have To enters, while Selfish goes top 20, and a debut for New Hope Club at 30 outdoes more established acts entering like Noel Gallagher at 53, making 26 Oasisfestfilled years, Kylie in New York City - with some way to go to match T.Rex's 1975 song of the same name - Redbone returning for a fourth run courtesy of Avengers again, one from 1974 and the rest from Marvel film boosts. Kool & The Gang have never charted with Jungle Boogie, which is a bit surprising for a track and I knew at the time and quite liked, but then my chart was limited to a top 30 in those days - even Redbone only just scraped in, and turnover was fast to try and squeeze records in back in 1974. It's also one of their best records and is currently getting blanket TV ad plays, much better than their bland disco phase that lasted for eternity. So, 27 years since they last charted, and 46 years since it was released, that would be impressive if Harry James wasn't making it look quite recent in comparison. It's been 9 years since Hot Chip last charted, but they belatedly get their 6th some 13 years after their first, in at 61 with a funky workout, Georgia gets a second, Shocking Blue get a 3rd-time-round hit with a World Record Store vinyl release of Venus almost 50 years since the first time, Taron Egertin is about to star in the Fantasy Elton John biopic, and enters with Rocket Man, his second charting song (the first was in 2016 with Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark & Hugh Jackman, from the Eddie The eagle biopic spin-off album, Thrill Me), a former Elton chart-topper from 1972, and Motorhead return for a third WRS Day vinyl-pushed blowout with a spot of Overkill. 1 1 1 3 TIME IN A TREE Raleigh Ritchie 373000 2 2 2 3 MEDELLIN Madonna & Maluma 259000 3 15 3 2 IT’S BEEN A LONG, LONG TIME Harry James & His Orchestra & Kitty Kallen 112000 4 29 4 3 LATE NIGHT FEELINGS Mark Ronson featuring Lykke Li 90200 5 3 3 9 KIND OF LOVE Rat City featuring Isak Heim 436100 6 12 6 3 NEVERMIND Dennis Lloyd 110000 7 7 7 9 OCEAN EYES Billie Eilish 231600 8 5 5 9 STUFF LIKE THAT Bananarama 277500 9 4 1 6 THE SUN AIN’T GONNA SHINE ANYMORE The Walker Brothers 729000 10 6 1 9 CHRYSALIS Empire Of The Sun 702000 11 14 11 7 FEEL THE SAME Olly Murs featuring Nile Rodgers 163000 12 18 12 9 OLD WILD MEN 10cc 130700 13 10 1 6 JACKIE Scott Walker 539000 14 8 6 9 YOU BELONG TO ME Cat Pierce 429000 15 17 15 4 WEDDING BELL BLUES Morrissey 91500 16 32 16 5 SELFISH Vargas & Lagola 90850 17 20 17 7 PATIENCE Tame Impala 130400 18 21 18 4 SOS Avicii featuring Aloe Blacc 78000 19 19 19 3 OLD TOWN ROAD Lil Nas X featuring Billy Ray Cyrus 60200 20 68 20 2 HELLO SUNSHINE Bruce Springsteen 26400 21 11 7 9 DON’T CALL ME UP Mabel 204600 22 33 22 4 BORDERLINE Tame Impala 55100 23 9 3 6 ROCK THE BOAT The Hues Corporation 317250 24 NEW 24 1 AS LONG AS I HAVE TO Vargas & Lagola 19000 25 28 25 3 FEELINGS John Newman 47650 26 13 1 11 YOUR EX Paloma Faith 622300 27 27 27 4 HUSTLE P!nk 73200 28 35 28 6 MY SHIP IS COMING IN The Walker Brothers 78550 29 16 16 5 STRETCH Louise 92200 30 NEW 30 1 LOVE AGAIN New Hope Club 18000 31 34 31 3 LET ME DOWN SLOWLY Alec Benjamin featuring Alessia Cara 41900 32 46 32 4 SHOW ME ABC 44450 33 26 2 12 365 Zedd & Katy Perry 579700 34 22 9 9 SUCKER Jonas Brothers 264350 35 66 35 2 ALL DAY AND NIGHT Jax Jones, Martin Solveig (aka Europa) & Madison Beer 24300 36 38 36 4 PIECE OF YOUR HEART Meduza featuring GOODBOYS 64100 37 25 3 12 BEST 54 (ALL GOOD NOW) Jungle 571900 38 24 10 12 TALK Khalid & Disclosure 342200 39 60 39 2 ME!

May 6, 20197 yr Raleigh Ritchie at #1. I absolutely loved 'Stronger Than Ever', it was a personal #1 for me back in the day and should have done better officially. 'Time In A Tree' I am just listening to now and it is nice and certainly different. The chorus sounds very 1950s I think. And I see you have joined the Billie Eilish hype train around at the minute, she has just come out of nowhere to dominate pop at the minute. All Day and Night is a great upbeat dance tune, don't usually get dance songs like that these days, they are mostly deeper more sensible dance tracks or of the calmer tropical Jonas Blue variety.
May 7, 20197 yr I like that "Late Night Feelings" reached the top 10 and hey, nice to See "All Day And Night", "ME!" and "So Close" gain huge! I like the debut for "About Work The Dancefloor" and the debut of "Jungle Boogie"! I love a good classic! Great chart!
May 12, 20197 yr Author Good to see lykke li making an impact here also Great chart! Thanks toffo! :)

Hi snakey B-) , Glad u like the raleigh ritchie track, its very retro in parts which is unusual, prob why i love it so much. Billie e is a pleasamt surprise success, it sounds like its her older brother being key to it, which is way better than paying teams of professional songwriters to get you big! Cheers! John B-)
