Posted July 27, 20204 yr 26th July 2020 As yet another 2020 holiday looks dodgy due to Covid-19 I console myself by going back in time to 1974 and a track that fell short of my top 20 when I was sweet 16 sounds fabulous in 2020, Paul Carrack's fab How Long proving to have bigger legs than it appeared when it was brand new. So only 46 years waiting! That holds off Kylie's new pop banger, right on the form she found with Golden but with a more traditional pop sound, new at 2, I've lost count how many top 10's, but it's at least her 4th number 2 and will be hoping for a 12th chart-topper in her 32-year career. Galantis gets a 2nd top 10 of 2020, his 4th in total, and Faouzia also a 2nd. Foster The People get a 3rd, and Callum Beattie a first top 10. Katy Perry bounds into the top 20 for the first time since 2017, she's Smile-ing, as Bob Marley's 1999 chart-topper remixes it's way up to 21, and Kygo remixes Tina Turner's 1984 top 10 up to 32. Jubel does what Toploader did on two occasions with Dancing In The Moonlight, going top 40, while Miranda Lambert gets a first top 40 aided and abetted by a host of female singing acts, Maren Morris and Elle King having been there before, the others not. Taylor Swift is unexpectedly back with an album of Lockdown ballads, and bounces into my chart at 57 with Bon Iver and Exile, a cool track, as Arlo Parks debuts at 62 with Black Dog. Anyone who's lost a loved one to mental illness and suicide will identify with the touching lyrics. Meanwhile, as if a mini-invasion of a Steady Drip Drip album tracks and singles wasn't enough, Sparks also chart a fab oldie When I'm With You which got no airplay and failed to chart in the UK first-time-round in the 80's. LP is back, having recently topped my chart with Morrissey, Ellie Goulding has a new album out and one track took my fancy, her first appearance on my chart for 5 years. Toyah, meanwhile, has been absent for knocking on 30 years from my chart, though not my concert-viewing (seen her twice in the last few years), but she finally returns with the fellow member of her band The Humans as a tribute to late drummer and King Crimson latter member (and REM) Bill Reiflin. The band are experimental prog-rock-ish, and 21st Century Schizoid Man is a King Crimson song (Toyah's hubby Robert Fripp has been in King Crimson since the 60's). That's a 39-year span of hits for the ageless Toyah. Talking of tributes, 2 Fleetwood Mac oldies return as we lose Peter Green. Alabtross has made my charts many times, so have opted for the unknown Oh Well part 2 instrumental, which is nothing like part 1 at all. More like Albatross than Oh Well! 1 2 1 3 HOW LONG Ace featuring Paul Carrack 335000 2 NEW 2 1 SAY SOMETHING Kylie Minogue 115000 3 3 3 4 HALLUCINATE Dua Lipa 188800 4 1 1 5 WATERMELON SUGAR Harry Styles 429500 5 17 5 3 SALAMANDER STREET Callum Beattie 94750 6 4 1 6 SPINNING OVER YOU REYKO 745000 7 14 7 10 I FLY Galantis featuring Faouzia 232000 8 10 8 6 SAVIOUR (EXTENDED MIX) Dimension & Sharlene Hector 200750 9 5 3 5 MALIBU Kim Petras 303000 10 12 10 3 THE THINGS WE DO Foster The People 89000 11 6 5 6 FADED Izzy Bizu 209400 12 8 1 11 IN YOUR EYES Robin Schulz featuring Alida 846300 13 7 6 5 SHOULD I GIVE IT ALL UP (DEMO) James Blunt 210200 14 18 14 6 HALLUCINOGENICS (SEEB REMIX) Matt Maeson 105900 15 11 5 10 SUMMER FEELINGS Lennon Stella featuring Charlie Puth 347350 16 13 8 5 HUSAVIK Will Ferrell & My Marianne 124800 17 63 17 2 SMILE Katy Perry 30200 18 26 18 4 I USED TO BE COOL Bright Light Bright Light 55000 19 9 9 8 ((TRANCE)) The S.L.P. 184000 20 28 20 3 AND IT BREAKS MY HEART LEON 48700 21 86 21 2 SUN IS SHINING Bob Marley Featuring Robin Schulz 22550 22 20 1 18 LEVITATING Dua Lipa 1237600 23 15 7 11 WHILE WE’RE YOUNG Huey Lewis & The News 378650 24 16 1 8 A CHANGE IS GONNA COME Sam Cooke 626000 25 19 19 8 A GHOST Travis 107850 26 79 26 2 DANCING IN THE MOONLIGHT Jubel featuring NEIMY 22700 27 21 1 11 VIOLENT THING Ben Dolic 928150 28 30 28 5 RIDE (EDIT) Lenny Kravitz 76700 29 34 29 11 BIG LOG Robert Plant 113350 30 22 18 5 OH WHAT A FEELING Walk Off The Earth 95450 31 23 23 5 DIDN’T WANT TO BE THIS LONELY Pretenders 77150 32 81 32 2 WHAT’S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT Kygo & Tina Turner 21600 33 37 33 7 THE SIX-TEENS The Sweet 92650 34 24 3 11 TEARS GETTING SOBER VICTORIA 534600 35 31 2 14 THE LAKE Galantis & Wrabel 672900 36 66 36 3 FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE Miranda Lambert featuring Maren Morris, Elle King, Ashley McBride, Tenille Townes, and Caylee Hammack 28000 37 52 37 5 MARCH MARCH The Chicks 46000 38 43 38 11 FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH Buffalo Springfield 110000 39 59 39 3 NATALIE DON’T RAYE 30400 40 40 40 6 THE WRITER Four Of Diamonds & Mr Eazi 74200 41 25 17 10 WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBOURHOOD (LEBROCK REMIX) Boston Manor featuring LeBrock 164100 42 29 10 11 ALL THAT Sparks 269750 43 35 7 14 SECRETS Regard & Raye 334250 44 48 44 8 GOODBYE STRANGER Supertramp 75150 45 51 45 6 FIRE AND FURY Overcoats 63650 46 46 46 5 OLD ME 5 Seconds Of Summer 47500 47 32 3 11 MOVE The Mamas 493550 48 33 2 11 ALL OF MY LOVE Destiny & B.O.K. 630500 49 36 23 10 FET HOUSE MODE Rebecca & Fiona 145050 50 38 22 8 DREAM GIRL Anna Of The North 121600 51 39 16 9 BLAME IT ON ME Melanie C 162750 52 44 1 22 SAY SO Doja Cat 1053650 53 53 53 4 ORDINARY WORLD Duran Duran 40300 54 42 42 11 ISN’T SHE LOVELY Stevie Wonder 103750 55 88 55 2 THIS FEELING Faithless featuring Suli Breaks and Nathan Ball 13200 56 57 56 5 MY HURRICANE Jamie Scott 39200 57 NEW 57 1 EXILE Taylor Swift featuring Bon Iver 10400 58 54 54 5 HEAVEN ON MY MIND Becky Hill & Sigala 33100 59 NEW 59 1 WHEN I’M WITH YOU Sparks 10100 60 61 60 5 KARAOKE BooDaBash & Alessandra Omaroso 28200 61 55 55 7 TAKE CARE OF YOU Ella Henderson 42300 62 NEW 62 1 BLACK DOG Arlo Parks 7400 63 NEW 63 1 THE ONE THAT YOU LOVE LP 7200 64 45 10 11 LEFT OUT IN THE COLD Sparks 272900 65 NEW 65 1 DANGEROUS LOVE Tiwa Savage 7000 66 NEW 66 1 21ST CENTURY SCHIZOID MAN Toyah & The Humans featuring Jessica Gallo 6800 67 69 67 7 BREAKING ME Topic & A7S 34600 68 70 68 4 THOUSAND FACES Don Diablo & Andy Grammer 18900 69 62 62 6 PYRAMIDS Noonie Bao 34800 70 58 34 6 MY OWN SOUL’S WARNING The Killers 70100 71 68 68 5 WHERE I’M COMING FROM Lila Ike 22900 72 74 72 3 MAKE YOU DANCE Meghan Trainor 14200 73 73 73 3 PURE The Lightning Seeds 14800 74 56 56 5 ARISTOCRATS Raleigh Ritchie 33800 75 NEW 75 1 WORRY ABOUT ME Ellie Goulding & blackbear 5000 76 64 1 12 THE MODEL Kraftwerk 397650 77 80 77 5 THE TIME IS NOW Moloko 14300 78 82 78 3 CHI MAI Ennio Morricone 10200 79 83 79 2 I WISH YOU WELL The Big Band Collective featuring Jimmy Somerville & Rick Astley 7600 80 84 80 3 SHE SELLS SANCTUARY The Cult 9200 81 65 29 11 BE KIND Marshmello & Halsey 128150 82 NEW 82 1 OH WELL PART 2 Fleetwood Mac 3600 83 67 58 7 LEARN TO FLY Surfaces & Elton John 47800 84 89 84 2 RETURN OF THE MACK Mark Morrison 5400 85 85 85 4 I’M ON MY WAY Bob Sinclar 10800 86 90 86 2 BACK TOGETHER AGAIN Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway 4800 87 49 9 12 PEOPLE ON THE HIGH LINE (RICHARD X RADIO EDIT) New Order 267400 88 41 31 6 BREATHE Marilyn 65200 89 NEW 89 1 MAN OF THE WORLD Fleetwood Mac 2200 90 NEW 90 1 STOP!

Maybe theyre waiting.... :o Watermelon Sugar top 40 in yours, :yahoo: It's great to sing along to loudly. One day I'll get blind drunk and choose it as my karaoke song in public :lol: Well done on going with hallucinogenics, I would hope it qualifies, it's fab, fingers-crossed, but if it flops blame me :D Leon is also fab, I didnt even consider it as a potential BJSC track, just didnt cross my mind :D Yes I saw that Madonna/Missy release due soon, bizarre as they are still plugging Hallucinate, though the song needs to be a single, so I'll take any version rather than no single release.. Sparks When I'm With You never made my charts, and I wasn't even aware that I sort of vaguely knew till I bought the 3cd hits package - I'm guessing I prob heard it as a new release single on Roundtable (it got no other radio 1 airplay that I recall, the music scene was changing fast in 1980) and just forgot to chart it in 1980 (It was finals exams year at Uni and busy busy busy). Thanks as always for the chartlove :)
August 4, 20204 yr Author Hi john! Great to see The One That You Love on your chart! It needs to appear more on different charts as this is quite a great and expressive song! Love the viewership on YouTube though! Thanks Uhsting, :) Yes LP is quirky but emotive, I can see why people might not take to her but I like artists who put themselves out there to be different, and she's got a great range...!
