Posted August 10, 20204 yr 9th August 2020 It's a first week on top for Kylie's new lead single off the next album, and that gives her membership of an exclusive club - acts that have topped my charts in 4 consecutive decades with new material: Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison did it (but needed Beatles songs to qualify, as well as solo), The Bee Gees did it first (60's through 90's), while others include Pet Shop Boys, Madonna, George Michael. No act has ever done 5 decades - but Madonna and Pet Shop Boys only need one more unbeatable track to take that crown. Kylie has now had 13 chart-toppers, not bad considering I took 5 years into her career to be totally convinced. Highest new entry at 7 if a second top 10 for Doja Cat, hot on the heels of her chart-topper Say So, Freak being a naughty song lying on a bed of Paul Anka 50's doo-wops backing (and a bit of Paul Anka at the end, Put Your Head On My Shoulder being a huge hit when I was one-year old in 1959, and Paul was only 18 when he wrote it. Paul hasn't troubled my charts for 45 years, though his songs have popped up in the interim in cover versions. My Way is one nobody has ever heard of, sung by the obscure Frank Sinatra and The Sex Pistols. Not together, obviously. That would be insane. Donna Summer has a massive leap into the 20 with her remixed Grand Illusion, the 1980 track being her first previously-uncharted track since 1994 and her first top 20 since I Feel Love charted for the 4th time, following her death in 2012. Big top 40 leapers for Billie Eilish, her 5th, The Killers rebounding to a new peak after the Springsteen-esque climax made it fresh again, Faithless getting a first with new material since 2004, and The Vamps getting only a 2nd in their chart career, the first in two years. Erasure are back 32 years on with A Little Respect doing better than the new grat track which I couldnt get to hear on youtube, Sub Focus get a 4th chart entry in 8 years, dragging along Wilkinson, who has guested before elsewhere, Charlie Puth brings his Girlfriend along, while he's still having Summer Feelings with another. How rude! Aussie Eurovision Kate gets a rather good quirky follow-up, Johnny Hates Jazz get a first chart entry in 7 years and extend their run to 33 years, Keith Urban cracks another one off in rapid succession, truly a Superman, and it's a big welcome back to 80's electronic duo Yello who have been absent for about 30 years or so, but now have a span of 34 years. Deep Purple make it two 2020 chart hits, that's a first for them. Had hits in 1970, 1971, 1972, 1977, 1980 - but never 2 in a year. 1 2 1 3 SAY SOMETHING Kylie Minogue 400000 2 1 1 2 RIGHT BACK WHERE WE STARTED FROM Maxine Nightingale 285000 3 10 3 8 HALLUCINOGENICS (SEEB REMIX) Matt Maeson 232900 4 4 4 5 SALAMANDER STREET Callum Beattie 224750 5 7 5 2 SUGAR MAN (THE GOLDFISH MIX) Rodriguez 110000 6 3 1 5 HOW LONG Ace featuring Paul Carrack 480000 7 NEW 7 1 FREAK Doja Cat featuring Paul Anka 50000 8 9 8 5 AND IT BREAKS MY HEART LEON 141700 9 6 1 7 WATERMELON SUGAR Harry Styles 529500 10 11 10 4 SUN IS SHINING Bob Marley Featuring Robin Schulz 101550 11 24 11 13 BIG LOG Robert Plant 169350 12 5 3 6 HALLUCINATE Dua Lipa 283800 13 8 1 8 SPINNING OVER YOU REYKO 825000 14 17 14 3 EXILE Taylor Swift featuring Bon Iver 62400 15 15 15 4 SMILE Katy Perry 84200 16 27 16 9 THE SIX-TEENS The Sweet 136250 17 22 17 6 I USED TO BE COOL Bright Light Bright Light 97500 18 65 18 2 GRAND ILLUSION (LE FLEX POOLSIDE MIX) Donna Summer 29000 19 36 19 3 DANGEROUS LOVE Tiwa Savage 45300 20 25 20 5 FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE Miranda Lambert featuring Maren Morris, Elle King, Ashley McBride, Tenille Townes, and Caylee Hammack 66750 21 33 21 2 ONE AND ONE MAKE FIVE Pet Shop Boys 37450 22 18 18 4 DANCING IN THE MOONLIGHT Jubel featuring NEIMY 65950 23 12 1 13 IN YOUR EYES Robin Schulz featuring Alida 900550 24 53 24 2 MY FUTURE Billie Eilish 30250 25 13 8 8 SAVIOUR (EXTENDED MIX) Dimension & Sharlene Hector 251500 26 90 26 8 MY OWN SOUL’S WARNING The Killers 90600 27 16 3 7 MALIBU Kim Petras 346400 28 21 5 8 FADED Izzy Bizu 247450 29 20 6 7 SHOULD I GIVE IT ALL UP (DEMO) James Blunt 248400 30 32 30 4 WHAT’S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT Kygo & Tina Turner 57400 31 19 10 5 THE THINGS WE DO Foster The People 127900 32 40 32 3 BLACK DOG Arlo Parks 42200 33 43 33 4 THIS FEELING Faithless featuring Suli Breaks and Nathan Ball 44400 34 14 7 12 I FLY Galantis featuring Faouzia 278600 35 39 35 10 GOODBYE STRANGER Supertramp 109750 36 38 36 3 THE ONE THAT YOU LOVE LP 41800 37 37 37 3 21ST CENTURY SCHIZOID MAN Toyah & The Humans featuring Jessica Gallo 41400 38 NEW 38 1 A LITTLE RESPECT Erasure 17200 39 23 8 7 HUSAVIK Will Ferrell & My Marianne 161150 40 91 40 2 MARRIED IN VEGAS The Vamps 18900 41 26 18 7 OH WHAT A FEELING Walk Off The Earth 127950 42 29 29 13 FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH Buffalo Springfield 141950 43 67 43 2 TO SPEAK IS A SIN Pet Shop Boys 20100 44 30 1 20 LEVITATING Dua Lipa 1268850 45 45 45 6 ORDINARY WORLD Duran Duran 66300 46 72 46 2 HAPPINESS McFly 18350 47 47 39 5 NATALIE DON’T RAYE 55400 48 54 48 2 SUNDOWN Gordon Lightfoot 23300 49 93 49 2 IN AND OUT OF LOVE Melanie C 13800 50 57 50 9 BREAKING ME Topic & A7S 57000 51 34 7 13 WHILE WE’RE YOUNG Huey Lewis & The News 408000 52 28 5 12 SUMMER FEELINGS Lennon Stella featuring Charlie Puth 277150 53 69 53 5 CHI MAI Ennio Morricone 27650 54 31 9 10 ((TRANCE)) The S.L.P. 212900 55 55 55 3 WHEN I’M WITH YOU Sparks 31700 56 56 56 5 MAKE YOU DANCE Meghan Trainor 35400 57 35 35 7 MARCH MARCH The Chicks 73900 58 52 52 2 CRAZY Daniela Andrade 21700 59 42 1 13 VIOLENT THING Ben Dolic 952000 60 79 60 2 HEAD & HEART Joel Corry featuring MNEK 14200 61 78 61 2 LIGHTER Nathan Dawe featuring KSI 11900 62 49 2 16 THE LAKE Galantis & Wrabel 692400 63 58 7 16 SECRETS Regard & Raye 351650 64 59 1 24 SAY SO Doja Cat 1070850 65 71 65 3 WORRY ABOUT ME Ellie Goulding & blackbear 17800 66 66 66 5 PURE The Lightning Seeds 28400 67 41 1 10 A CHANGE IS GONNA COME Sam Cooke 646600 68 74 68 2 CHARLIE PATTON HIGHWAY (TURN IT UP, PT 1.)
