Posted April 20, 20205 yr 19th April 2020 It's 2 weeks on top for Levitating as Dua Lipa makes a Billie Eilish sandwich with her INXS-inspired Break My Heart at 3. When we reflect back on Lockdown in years to come, for me it'll be Dua Lipa that brightened it up. It's a quiet chart generally, as I'm not getting to hear my itunes purchases in the car in beautiful surround-sound - not getting out and about, while my home CD player is faulty and PCWorld is shut, doh! Plus I want to chop it down to 75 anyway, almost there this week. Two big climbers into the 40 from Nerina Pallot and Kygo, and new entries from LEON returning with a goodie pop number, as The Goodies return in tribute to the late Tim Brooke-Taylor - Wild Thing was a B side (and excerpt from a TV episode) and a cover of The Troggs classic, both amusing and about as cool as they got musically, as they parodied the mid-70's music scene. Blossoms return, James Blunt gets a 5th track off his album in my charts as his previous single remains top 20, Florence + The Machine return with a Lockdown present, while Ali Campbell covers the already-charting late Bill Withers classic Lean On Me for NHS charity causes, and giving the UB40 brand a chart career of exactly 40 years since Food For Thought went top 3, and at least the 4th version of Lean On Me to chart. Bob Dylan also returns with a new track. He doesn't quite have the chart span of The Scaffold (a few months short for new material, a mere 51 years give or take), and he's never been consistent with new material (though some of his classic 60's period have charted over the years, notably Like A Rolling Stone), a mere 5 chart entries solo, the last of them 30 years ago. That would normally make a notable comment for the entry of I Contain Multitudes after such a lengthy gap, were it not for The Scaffold and Deep Purple already having pissed all over that gap at 52 years and 49 years, respectively, in the chart. Bob, of course was a Traveling Wilbury too, and had some chart hits with his mates, and oodles of covers of his songs over the decades from the likes of Bryan Ferry, Adele, The Rolling Stones, and many others. 1 1 1 4 LEVITATING Dua Lipa 402100 2 2 2 10 NO TIME TO DIE Billie Eilish 538500 3 6 3 4 BREAK MY HEART Dua Lipa 177400 4 3 1 8 SAY SO Doja Cat 651600 5 5 5 6 CAUTION The Killers 197550 6 9 6 8 MISTAKES Jonas Blue & Paloma Faith 184700 7 7 4 8 THE WHOLE 9 Marina Kaye 363100 8 8 1 11 TEARS OF GOLD Faouzia 922000 9 10 9 7 MURPHY’S LAW Roisin Murphy 191300 10 4 1 11 I’M GONNA LOVE YOU JUST A LITTLE MORE BABY Barry White 1236000 11 14 11 7 LOST AT SEA Cashier No.9 141150 12 20 12 6 GOLIATH Smith & Thell 102300 13 13 13 3 LEAN ON ME Bill Withers 89000 14 11 6 9 MODERN LONELINESS Lauv 287500 15 18 15 7 WHO Lauv featuring BTS 110900 16 17 16 5 WHO I AM Melanie C 99500 17 21 17 4 DANCING NEXT TO ME Greyson Chance 61400 18 12 2 11 HALFWAY James Blunt featuring Ward Thomas 482700 19 23 19 7 ALL OF THE FEELINGS Kiesza 118050 20 27 20 4 SPOTLIGHT Jessie Ware 58050 21 16 9 8 THE OTHER SIDE SZA, Justin Timberlake 236300 22 15 10 10 ONE OF A KIND Ronan Keating & Emeli Sande 210800 23 28 23 5 YOU’LL NEVER WALK ALONE Gerry & The Pacemakers 80250 24 33 24 10 LA VIE EN ROSE Louis Armstrong 136600 25 34 25 5 LIMITLESS Bon Jovi 55550 26 30 26 3 LOVELY DAY Bill Withers 54300 27 29 27 4 BLUE SKIES Music from Star Trek: Picard featuring Isa Briones 58800 28 24 4 12 YOU ARE THE ONE Pet Shop Boys 435800 29 19 3 5 STAY Rihanna featuring Mikky Ekko 254200 30 26 3 12 THERAPY Duke Dumont featuring Sharlene Hector 509500 31 22 14 8 COME ON OUTSIDE Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds 135800 32 37 32 4 ANTISOCIAL SOCIALITES Kyan Palmer, nicopop & Yuri Joness 48300 33 46 33 7 LOOK AFTER YOU Aron Wright 75650 34 43 34 7 SOMETIMES Kodaline 70400 35 39 35 6 CRASHING Illenium featuring Bahari 74750 36 40 36 5 THROW MY BONES Deep Purple 50800 37 25 25 5 100 WAYS Jackson Wang 76150 38 73 38 3 HOLD ON, WE’RE GOING HOME Nerina Pallot 26200 39 74 39 3 I’LL WAIT Kygo & Sasha Sloan 23800 40 32 1 20 BLINDING LIGHTS The Weeknd 1376450 41 44 41 6 HARVEST MOON Neil Young 61050 42 36 24 8 YOU SHOULD BE SAD Halsey 123850 43 31 8 12 PHYSICAL Dua Lipa 292950 44 35 16 9 WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU The Avalanches featuring Blood Orange 156600 45 62 45 3 THE MAN Taylor Swift 23600 46 54 46 6 KINGS & QUEENS Ava Max 51550 47 50 47 7 MAMA Genesis 67200 48 56 48 6 I’M TOAST Sparks 43900 49 45 14 11 ROSES Adam Lambert & Nile Rodgers 227100 50 52 35 11 I DON’T WANNA Pet Shop Boys 132550 51 38 12 9 BROKEN SLEEP Agnes Obel 206300 52 41 17 9 INSTANT DESTINY Tame Impala 140400 53 42 36 8 STUPID LOVE Lady Gaga 82650 54 55 54 5 I’M IN LOVE Danny Dove featuring The Flirtations 37600 55 49 1 17 FADES AWAY Avicii featuring Mishcatt 1148100 56 51 4 13 WILL-O-THE-WISP Pet Shop Boys 458900 57 67 57 4 BOYFRIEND Mabel 23300 58 65 58 5 FREAKS Fisher 33400 59 47 39 7 THE STEPS HAIM 80350 60 68 60 5 NO JUDGEMENT Niaill Horan 27600 61 48 20 9 CUZ I LOVE YOU Lizzo 147550 62 71 62 4 IN YOUR EYES The Weeknd 21800 63 78 63 4 STORM The Fizz 15500 64 64 64 5 IS EVERYBODY GOING CRAZY?
