Posted February 12, 20205 yr 9th February 2020 It's 3 weeks on top for Blinding Lights as Will Young gets his biggest track since Love Revolution hit 2 in 2015 and his 3rd top 3 in 18 years - Friday's Child topped my chart in 2004. Nathaniel Rateliff outpeaks his debut hit SOB by 6 places, while Duke Dumont gets his 4th top 10 in 6 years, and slightly more succesful in the dance arena, David Guetta gets his first top 10 in 5 years, his 11th top 10 in 17 years of hits, and over 25 chart entries. Highest new entry at 11 is Barry White's debut hit from 1973, the very very sexy, sultry I'm Gonna Love You Just A Little More Baby which had a short chart run in my top 10 back in the day, but was evicted early due to a short UK chart run (I only allowed current UK top 30 hits in my actual charts of the time) despite still being probably his best record. Thanks to a prime spot in Birds Of Prey, it now gets to set things right some errr 47 years late and just a few months before I changed my chart rules to allow all current singles and album tracks into my charts. Highest actual new song is at 19 from Faouzia, a 19-year-old Canadian-Moroccan, it's fab, while Pet Shop Boys dominate the chart even more with a number of climbers, notably You Are The One into the top 20, and another new entry - B Side of Monkey Business is At Rock Bottom at 61. That's 9 tracks or over 12% of the chart. Noel Gallagher adds yet another top 40 to his increasingly long list of top 40 tracks, and newies include Adam Lambert & Nile Rodgers, the latter extending his run to a not-unimpressive 42 years since I first disco-danced to Dance Dance Dance. Purple Disco return, talking of discos, and sample some vintage Jocelyn Brown, who's charted with numerous dance acts, and solo, across her 5th decade now. The track doesn't give credit to Al Stewart, but I do - his classic Year Of The Cat riff is nicked for a key backdrop to the track, and I adore the original, so in he goes to extend his mentions to 43 years. Alanis Morissette hasn't troubled my listings for 12 years, but she's back, and makes it a sweet 25 years since her jaw-droppingly bitter You Oughta Know hit my top 10, kick-starting a brilliant album and run of singles. Pussycat Dolls also return after an absence of 11 years, their 4 years of singles being followed by a number of Nicole Scherzinger hits, who's back on board 9 years since she topped my charts with Right There, which unfortunately also gave the usually unlistenable 50 Cent billing on a chart-topper. 1 1 1 10 BLINDING LIGHTS The Weeknd 927600 2 2 1 7 FADES AWAY Avicii featuring Mishcatt 822000 3 6 3 3 FOREVER Will Young 162000 4 5 4 3 WILL O’THE WISP Pet Shop Boys 143750 5 7 5 4 KISS SOMEBODY Julie Bergan with Seeb 224700 6 3 3 3 SUPERNATURE Cerrone 225000 7 4 4 6 MONKEY BUSINESS (RADIO EDIT) Pet Shop Boys 307000 8 18 8 3 AND IT’S STILL ALRIGHT Nathaniel Rateliff 76400 9 13 9 3 THERAPY Duke Dumont 88500 10 17 10 3 MAKE IT TO HEAVEN David Guetta & MORTEN with Raye 71800 11 NEW 11 1 I’M GONNA LOVE YOU JUST A LITTLE MORE BABY Barry White 37000 12 10 8 4 THE VOID Muse 157000 13 8 6 6 OFFLINE Friendly Fires & Friend Within 179800 14 15 14 3 ALL MY LOVE Jeff Lynne’s ELO 66600 15 9 9 5 THE WORLD WE LEFT BEHIND The Fizz 144200 16 12 9 4 OH YEAH!

I adore that Summericia song, just fab! :wub: Hey you know Dion's The Wanderer :cheer: Yes, I agree that's his best record, it was a UK hit all over again in the long hot summer of 1976 so it's a record I associate with my teen years really :lol: Becks Hill is always good, I've now bought this one too cheers!
