30th June 2019

 

It's a third week on top for ELO as Livin' Thing returns to the top almost 43 years later, since Steely Dan knocked them off the top with a Haitian Divorce. Thanks to the Toy Story 4 trailer, which is a solid 8/10 film, still got it does Pixar. I also bought the Spiderman multiverse DVD which belatedly brings Sunflower into my chart for Post Malone & Swae Lee, while voice actor in it Hailee Steinfeld goes up a few spots with her guest vocal. I saw Hailee support Katy Perry in Barcelona a year or two back, she was good, and Katy was fab, she makes the top 40 with her latest, just ahead of former frenemy Taylor Swift. Talking of concerts, Stormzy got a boost at Glasto and enters with Crown, while The Killers return with When We were Young due to back catalogue itunes boosting after their set with the Pet Shop Boys and Johnny Marr. Only fair since the Pets got his support at the Brits a decade ago, and they have also worked with Johnny consistently over the years, The Smiths entering again with their Glasto cover from Brandon. His two fave acts and albums don't cha know, both together. Suedey and I both saw Marr, Tennant & Lowe them in The Royal Albert Hall t'other year. They were fab. Name-dropper!

 

2 Gallaghers sailing in the top 10 for the price of one, bit of a Shockwave, MIley Cyrus grabs another top 20, Kool & The Gang also get one after decades of drought, with their earliest track and one that never charted for me originally. The advert is good too! Highest new entry - prepare yourselves - is, err Celine Dion. 6 years since she last graced my top 20, and 30 years since she first scraped into my chart, she's only gone and done a dance banger where for once her OTT vocals suit it. Celine has had the occasional top 10 from me (around one a decade on average and she's overdue another...). Mark Ronson gets a 3rd album track in my chart, another goodie, while Lykke Li fresh of his chart-topper, also enters with her own track. Mabel's back with a follow-up, David Guetta gets a second - well Titanium is back, thanks to an advert, for a third run in my chart. Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello both get a simultaneous 2nd charter, and Keane sneak in extending their chart run to knocking on 15 years.

Hello John!

Like the big gains for "Mother's Daughter", "You Need To Calm Down", "Stay" and "If I Can't Have You"!

I also like the debuts for "Don't Leave Me Lonely", "Sunflower", "Crown", "Mad Love", "Senorita" and "Summertime"!

Great chart!

The Pet Shop Boys ans Johnny Marr were, indeed, great that night. Good to see Brandon Flowers getting to work with his heroes on such s big stage. His performance with the PSBs remains one of my Brits highlights and now he’s added a new Glastonbury highlight.

Hi John!

 

Giving Don't Leave Me Lonely a play now, it's sounding quite good! YEBBA's vocals are very good.

 

Giving Renaissance a play as well. It's quite a good drum & bass track, sounding strong on first listen!

 

Nice to see The Way I Feel crack your chart as well, a solid comeback in my opinion! Hope it climbs for you as well.

 

Great chart :D

Yes they were weren;t they :) , and I still have yet to see The Killers in concert, that's on my to-do list

 

cheers Simon! B-)

Thanks Pete! :)

 

It's nice to have Keane back, I'm hoping they do some more-indie-ballad type stuff, that tends to be my fave type of single B-)

 

cheers!
