Posted April 6, 20205 yr 5th April 2020 It's Doja Cat on top, finally getting past Barry White to the top spot, but challenged by Billie Eilish at 2 with her highest-charting track to date, No Time To Die not quite overtaking Say So. Dua Lipa pushes herself out the top 20, but not to worry she has two massive climbs for album cut Levitating (hoping this is the next single) and current INXS-sampling single Break My Heart. She's in a pop class of her own right now. The highest new entry is the late Bill Withers' 1972 chart-topper Lean On Me, plus a couple of others lower down in tribute to the great man, and also 3 new entries from forgotten mid-70's teen stars Arrows as lead singer, and writer of I Love Rock 'n' Roll, Alan Merrill dies of coronavirus. Bill's Use Me and Arrows original version of the Joan Jett biggie have never charted before - cos I didn't know them at the time! If radio didn't play them - and they didn't - that was it, no chance of hearing them. Paloma Faith gets over a decade of top 20's, Mel C makes it 22 years of solo top 20's, and Lauv gets 2 simultaneous top 20's. Actual new entries with current material are thin on the ground, thank goodness, as I dont have the space and will never expand beyond 100, that takes too long to do as it is! :lol: Nerina Pallot, though, is back after a gap of 5 years, when she topped my chart with Rousseau (and then failed to follow-up!). Her previous chart-topper was Turn Me On Again in 2012, and she now spans 15 years, 10 top 10's and no other track that has charted without going top 10 - so no pressure on her fab low-key version of the 2013 Drake hit, then. Only me and two-dozen people had even checked out the youtube! Yet another track from the latest Taylor Swift album charts, The Man, Five return with their best track selling on itunes again, and finally Kygo is also back with a newie. 1 2 1 6 SAY SO Doja Cat 501600 2 6 2 8 NO TIME TO DIE Billie Eilish 308500 3 1 1 9 I’M GONNA LOVE YOU JUST A LITTLE MORE BABY Barry White 1129000 4 4 4 6 THE WHOLE 9 Marina Kaye 263100 5 5 1 9 TEARS OF GOLD Faouzia 826000 6 7 6 7 MODERN LONELINESS Lauv 221500 7 49 7 2 LEVITATING Dua Lipa 62100 8 8 2 9 HALFWAY James Blunt featuring Ward Thomas 425700 9 3 3 3 STAY Rihanna featuring Mikky Ekko 215000 10 13 10 8 ONE OF A KIND Ronan Keating & Emeli Sande 164300 11 9 9 6 THE OTHER SIDE SZA, Justin Timberlake 191550 12 18 12 5 MURPHY’S LAW Roisin Murphy 104300 13 19 13 4 CAUTION The Killers 77550 14 30 14 6 MISTAKES Jonas Blue & Paloma Faith 84700 15 57 15 2 BREAK MY HEART Dua Lipa 37400 16 NEW 16 1 LEAN ON ME Bill Withers 25000 17 35 17 3 WHO I AM Melanie C 51500 18 14 14 6 COME ON OUTSIDE Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds 98400 19 26 19 5 LOST AT SEA Cashier No.9 75150 20 34 20 5 WHO Lauv featuring BTS 61900 21 10 4 10 YOU ARE THE ONE Pet Shop Boys 398500 22 11 8 10 PHYSICAL Dua Lipa 261550 23 12 12 7 BROKEN SLEEP Agnes Obel 177350 24 28 24 5 ALL OF THE FEELINGS Kiesza 77800 25 16 16 7 WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU The Avalanches featuring Blood Orange 125850 26 15 3 10 THERAPY Duke Dumont featuring Sharlene Hector 473000 27 17 17 7 INSTANT DESTINY Tame Impala 114900 28 21 1 18 BLINDING LIGHTS The Weeknd 1341650 29 24 24 6 YOU SHOULD BE SAD Halsey 92700 30 31 30 4 GOLIATH Smith & Thell 47300 31 20 20 7 CUZ I LOVE YOU Lizzo 127750 32 NEW 32 1 LOVELY DAY Bill Withers 17800 33 45 33 3 YOU’LL NEVER WALK ALONE Gerry & The Pacemakers 42700 34 39 34 3 100 WAYS Jackson Wang 40100 35 22 14 9 ROSES Adam Lambert & Nile Rodgers 202000 36 37 36 6 STUPID LOVE Lady Gaga 68900 37 40 37 8 LA VIE EN ROSE Louis Armstrong 99900 38 23 17 8 KNOW YOUR WORTH Khalid & Disclosure 117900 39 47 39 5 THE STEPS HAIM 57750 40 74 40 2 BLUE SKIES Music from Star Trek: Picard featuring Isa Briones 22200 41 33 33 5 DEAD WEIGHT PVRIS 77500 42 38 1 15 FADES AWAY Avicii featuring Mishcatt 1125200 43 25 25 7 SIX DAYS IN JUNE The Fratellis 105100 44 68 44 2 SPOTLIGHT Jessie Ware 19650 45 32 4 11 WILL-O-THE-WISP Pet Shop Boys 436550 46 27 16 11 LONELY Joel Corry featuring HARLEE 201800 47 29 5 11 AND IT’S STILL ALRIGHT Nathaniel Rateliff 367100 48 52 48 4 HARVEST MOON Neil Young 33800 49 55 49 5 SOMETIMES Kodaline 39300 50 54 50 5 LOOK AFTER YOU Aron Wright 45200 51 51 51 4 CRASHING Illenium featuring Bahari 40150 52 60 52 5 MAMA Genesis 42700 53 62 53 2 DANCING NEXT TO ME Greyson Chance 18650 54 70 54 3 LIMITLESS Bon Jovi 19200 55 82 55 3 THROW MY BONES Deep Purple 16400 56 41 3 11 FOREVER Will Young 406100 57 36 21 9 REACT Pussycat Dolls 139950 58 43 2 6 DRIVER’S SEAT Sniff ‘n’ The Tears 246600 59 63 35 9 I DON’T WANNA Pet Shop Boys 109050 60 66 60 4 KINGS & QUEENS Ava Max 27800 61 42 30 7 GREAT UNKNOWN X Ambassadors 103250 62 71 62 3 I’M IN LOVE Danny Dove featuring The Flirtations 15800 63 75 63 4 I’M TOAST Sparks 21000 64 61 1 32 NOBODY ELSE The S.L.P. 1246700 65 76 65 6 SECOND CHANCE The Shapeshifters featuring Kimberly Davis 35000 66 78 66 3 THE SUN RISING The Beloved 15600 67 67 67 2 ANTISOCIAL SOCIALITES Kyan Palmer, nicopop & Yuri Joness 13200 68 46 46 5 GASLIGHTER Dixie Chicks 55050 69 69 69 3 IS EVERYBODY GOING CRAZY?

April 13, 20205 yr Author Nice #1 although fading a little for me now, Good dua invasion, she's on fire at the moment! See you've gone top 100, is this your biggest chart yet!? Good stuff! Hi Toffo :) Yes I was a bit late on the Doja Catarang, but got there in the end! I've done top 100's before - the first one was January 1983 when Record Mirror starting publishing the UK top 100 for a while, but I got fed up with the amount of time it took to do after a couple of months and went back to 75. I've sporadically done them over the last decade when the charts weren't big enough to hold all the tracks I buy, usually after a significant popstar loss or event, but sometimes just because a lot of good ones have been released. It's going back to 85 this week as there is a bizarre chart week of only one new entry, which almost never happens!

Don;t know how you do it :lol: Aron Wright still sounds good and climbing slowly, it's just an exceptionally busy period for new releases I like - everything should be much higher than they are and all tracks from Sparks upwards would ordinarily easily be in my top 40. Hey ho! Thanks for the best wishes, keeping away from people as much as I can :) You take care too, and stay safe B-) Thanks as always!
