Posted May 4, 20205 yr 3rd May 2020 It's a 4th week on top for Dua Lipa's Levitating, as she drops one with Break My Heart to make a Lipa sandwich of Galantis & Wrabel's The Lake, the new challenger to her throne. Melanie C gets an 8th top 10 in 22 years of solo entries and is starting to catch up on the Spice Girls total, The Fizz get a second track in this week's top 40, one day I'll count how many they've had in total, but it's pretty much every single they released under the name Bucks Fizz and The Fizz, plus some recent album tracks! One day I'll also do the same for Pet Shop Boys and UB40, as I Don't Wanna's B side also enters the 40, and Ali Campbell's cover of Lean On Me becomes his latest top 40 in 40 years-worth of them, and goes where Bill Withers went only 2 weeks ago, or 48 years ago, depending on how you look at it. Pet Shop Boys total of entries in my charts is likely to be higher than any other act - unless you count solo stuff from bands in with band totals in which case it'll be The Beatles by a country mile, and maybe Abba will give them a good run too. As I finally get my chart back down to a more-manageable 75 there are only 2 new entries: Lissie back In A Rocket with someone I don't know, and Sia adding to her 20 years of charting. As I type this I should be somewhere over Portugal in an alternate universe where coronavirus didn't happen, so I've just been been consoling myself that the ghost town of Playa Del Ingles in Gran Canaria is starting to wake up this morning on webcams, more activity going on, more traffic, more people going out - still no tourists, but the Canaries seem to be preparing for at least locals to be eased outside and things coming open again. I'll try again in October, hopefully, if Tui get me the promised voucher to re-book through soon. 1 1 1 6 LEVITATING Dua Lipa 742100 2 4 2 2 THE LAKE Galantis & Wrabel 180000 3 2 2 6 BREAK MY HEART Dua Lipa 377400 4 3 2 12 NO TIME TO DIE Billie Eilish 688500 5 5 1 10 SAY SO Doja Cat 771600 6 6 5 8 CAUTION The Killers 307550 7 7 7 13 I DON’T WANNA Pet Shop Boys 232550 8 8 6 9 MISTAKES Jonas Blue & Paloma Faith 280700 9 12 9 6 DANCING NEXT TO ME Greyson Chance 141400 10 15 10 7 WHO I AM Melanie C 168500 11 11 11 9 LOST AT SEA Cashier No.9 215150 12 16 12 5 I’LL WAIT Kygo & Sasha Sloan 83800 13 9 4 10 THE WHOLE 9 Marina Kaye 395100 14 10 1 13 TEARS OF GOLD Faouzia 993000 15 17 15 6 SPOTLIGHT Jessie Ware 108050 16 13 9 9 MURPHY’S LAW Roisin Murphy 248300 17 20 17 6 ANTISOCIAL SOCIALITES Kyan Palmer, nicopop & Yuri Joness 91300 18 21 18 12 LA VIE EN ROSE Louis Armstrong 178350 19 18 6 11 MODERN LONELINESS Lauv 330500 20 24 20 6 IN YOUR EYES The Weeknd 60800 21 14 12 8 GOLIATH Smith & Thell 151050 22 19 15 9 WHO Lauv featuring BTS 151400 23 30 23 9 SOMETIMES Kodaline 107650 24 27 24 9 LOOK AFTER YOU Aron Wright 113050 25 25 25 6 BLUE SKIES Music from Star Trek: Picard featuring Isa Briones 96300 26 29 26 5 HOLD ON, WE’RE GOING HOME Nerina Pallot 62900 27 38 27 8 HARVEST MOON Neil Young 96650 28 35 28 6 STORM The Fizz 51300 29 33 29 5 THE MAN Taylor Swift 59500 30 34 30 8 KINGS & QUEENS Ava Max 87150 31 22 19 9 ALL OF THE FEELINGS Kiesza 155450 32 23 1 13 I’M GONNA LOVE YOU JUST A LITTLE MORE BABY Barry White 1273050 33 46 33 6 RESERVATION The Fizz 42450 34 26 2 13 HALFWAY James Blunt featuring Ward Thomas 518800 35 40 35 6 LIMITLESS Richard Marx 48900 36 49 36 3 WHO YOU LOVIN’ LEON 35700 37 51 37 2 NEW BOY Pet Shop Boys 29050 38 68 38 2 SECRETS Regard & Raye 23600 39 45 39 6 BOYFRIEND Mabel 53400 40 69 40 3 LEAN ON ME UB40 featuring Ali Campbell & Astro 27600 41 28 9 10 THE OTHER SIDE SZA, Justin Timberlake 268600 42 66 42 2 HARD TIMES FOR LOVERS Rumer 20550 43 54 43 3 THE GREATEST James Blunt 29500 44 32 32 8 CRASHING Illenium featuring Bahari 105800 45 31 25 7 LIMITLESS Bon Jovi 86450 46 56 46 3 IF YOU THINK THIS IS REAL LIFE Blossoms 28950 47 47 47 9 MAMA Genesis 92200 48 63 48 2 LIVING IN A GHOST TOWN The Rolling Stones 19500 49 41 1 22 BLINDING LIGHTS The Weeknd 1402550 50 37 3 14 THERAPY Duke Dumont featuring Sharlene Hector 538800 51 36 36 7 THROW MY BONES Deep Purple 79950 52 59 52 3 I LOVE YOU NOW CHANGE Twinnie 27400 53 58 53 7 FREAKS Fisher 54850 54 70 54 3 I CONTAIN MULTITUDES Bob Dylan 21200 55 39 39 8 I’M TOAST Sparks 71800 56 80 56 2 IF YOU’RE TOO SHY (LET ME KNOW) The 1975 14600 57 64 57 6 I LOVE YOU’S Hailee Steinfeld 29800 58 42 4 14 YOU ARE THE ONE Pet Shop Boys 459750 59 73 59 3 LIGHT OF LOVE Florence + The Machine 20300 60 43 13 5 LEAN ON ME Bill Withers 108500 60 62 60 6 GHOST TOWN The Specials 4200 61 75 61 2 HOUSE PARTY New Kids On The Block featuring BoyzIIMen, Big Freedia, Naughty By Nature & Jordin Sparks 12500 62 72 62 2 TIMES LIKE THESE Live Lounge Allstars 13000 63 79 63 2 DIAGNOSIS Alanis Morrissette 11400 64 76 64 2 THE BUZZ Pretenders 11900 65 60 60 7 NO JUDGEMENT Niaill Horan 44600 66 44 10 12 ONE OF A KIND Ronan Keating & Emeli Sande 230850 67 55 8 14 PHYSICAL Dua Lipa 310350 68 67 1 36 NOBODY ELSE The S.L.P. 1273100 69 71 69 3 JUST THE TWO OF US Grover Washington Jr & Bill Withers 17200 71 NEW 71 1 IN A ROCKET Beoga & Lissie 5800 72 77 72 4 THANK U VERY MUCH FOR THE NHS The Scaffold 17800 73 NEW 73 1 SAVED MY LIFE Sia 5400 74 53 14 10 COME ON OUTSIDE Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds 152250 75 65 14 13 ROSES Adam Lambert & Nile Rodgers 239100 DROP OUTS 48 23 6 YOU’LL NEVER WALK ALONE Gerry & The Pacemakers 92550 50 26 4 LOVELY DAY Bill Withers 66300 52 3 6 STAY Rihanna featuring Mikky Ekko 265700 57 25 6 100 WAYS Jackson Wang 86550 61 24 9 YOU SHOULD BE SAD Halsey 131350 74 64 6 IS EVERYBODY GOING CRAZY?

May 4, 20205 yr Hi John! Nice to see "Levitating" at #1, as well as the big gains for "Secrets", "The Greatest", "Living In A Ghost Town", "Light Of Love" and especially "If You're Too Shy (Let Me Know)"! Great chart!
May 4, 20205 yr Hi John! The new Galantis song isn't hitting me as much as I thought it would :( The verse and bild-up all seem to be going in the right direction but that drop just isn't it. Who I am is actually growing on me a bit - nice to see that sneak into the Top 10! Giving the new Sia song a listen now - not her usual type of music but I'm actually quite liking it! Could definitely grow to become one of my favourites. Great chart :D

Great chart :D Hi Pete! :) I think I like the Galantis track for confounding expectations - it starts all Paul Simon Graceland-era, and then the drop when it comes is orchestral-based not a banging dance hook :D Mel C is hanging around longer than I thought in my upper chart, I expected I'd cool on it fairly quickly but it's a nice production. Cheers! B-)
