Posted December 1, 20204 yr 29th November 2020 It's Perfectly True - after 3 weeks at 2 Lucia & The Best Boys are back on top for a second week, I just love that guitar work and the song, holding off the fab Tape Machines off the top spot, the highest of 3 Golden songs. Kylie is up to 3 with the fab Last Chance (let's hope it's the next single) as Supernova makes it 6 top 10's off Disco, and replaces Celebrate You in the top layer. Highest new entry is a track I'd never heard until a week ago - yet it's a track I knew OF 48 years ago. I'd seen it listed in music magazines and was intrigued by the title - but in those days if radio didn't play it you never got to hear it, so despite being a European hit, I had to wait till it popped up on Twitter last week, several celebrities I follow all going apeshit over it. So, I checked out Prisencolinensinaincuisol and it's a record ahead of it's time - rapping, and in made-up sounds designed to sound American to Italian ears, as Adriano Celentano was making a statement that American songs were so popular he could have a hit with something that sounded American but wasn't even English-language. It worked! His wife did the female vocal, though Rafaella Carra helped promote it, her of Do It Do It Again fame from 1978. She's in the video. The video is brilliant. Two more oldies enter, Texas' career-best track, Inner Smile from 2000, pops back, written by New Radicals Gregg Alexander who was on a songwriting run at the time, having given up being a pop star; and also George Michael's heartfelt Praying For Time from 1990. Both were selling itunes, as was Adriano Celentano. A second new Christmas song debuts, Beverley Knight having a good try at a great festive future fave - that's hard to carry off, the regulars always hog the airplay, but at least radio 2 is helping a bit. The Vamps get a 2nd of 2020, Billie Eilish a 3rd, and I manage to cut the chart down to 90. Still aiming for 75, hopefully reduced releases over Xmas and a Christmas song exodus in the New Year will do the trick! 1 2 1 7 PERFECTLY UNTRUE Lucia & The Best Boys 815000 2 5 2 3 ARMS OF GOLD Tape Machines featuring Mia Pfurrman 235000 3 4 3 3 LAST CHANCE Kylie Minogue 205000 4 NEW 4 1 PRISENCOLINENSINAINCUISOL Adriano Celentano & Claudia Mori 65000 5 1 1 4 LAY ALL YOUR LOVE ON ME Abba 360000 6 3 1 4 EDGE OF MIDNIGHT (MIDNIGHT SKY REMIX) Mile Cyrus featuring Stevie Nicks 480000 7 9 7 8 LIE TO ME Vera Blue 209750 8 10 8 4 ALL I NEED Jake Bugg 114200 9 17 9 3 SUPERNOVA Kylie Minogue 81250 10 6 2 5 GOLD Paloma Faith 402000 11 7 7 5 INTERSTELLAR LOVE The Avalanches featuring Leon Bridges & The Alan Parsons Project 217000 12 8 8 4 CELEBRATE YOU Kylie Minogue 132400 13 12 1 7 FALLING DOWN Paloma Faith 515000 14 14 14 4 THE PIPER Abba 96500 15 11 4 8 NO ORDINARY Labrinth 319800 16 19 16 3 BURN DOWN THIS ROOM Ruben 63800 17 18 17 5 LOVE PAINS Yvonne Elliman 72400 18 16 10 9 WONDER Shawn Mendes 256700 19 13 8 6 LAST NIGHT ON EARTH Paloma Faith 188600 20 22 20 3 PARAPHERNALIA Temples 58250 21 27 21 4 GOLDEN Harry Styles 62550 22 20 4 10 MAGIC Kylie Minogue 380000 23 29 23 4 SNOWSTORM The Raveonettes 47150 24 24 24 3 GOOD DAY FOR DREAMING Ruelle 49500 25 25 7 6 I LOVE IT Kylie Minogue 196500 26 21 1 16 MIDNIGHT SKY Miley Cyrus 1360850 27 42 27 2 ROUND AND AROUND DMA’s 32150 28 23 1 13 NUMB Jessi 893800 29 35 29 6 TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT McFly 74100 30 38 30 3 BEFORE I GO Marisha Wallace 40600 31 40 31 6 MAKE YOU MINE PUBLIC 74850 32 26 26 6 AMEN Tom Grennan 97100 33 NEW 33 1 INNER SMILE Texas 17700 34 36 34 4 IS IT TRUE Tame Impala 56300 35 37 35 4 SOMETHING IN YOUR EYES Steps 55400 36 34 1 28 LEVITATING Dua Lipa 1369600 37 54 37 3 A LITTLE LOVE Celeste 31900 38 47 38 3 STOP CRYING YOUR HEART OUT BBC Radio 2 All Stars 31400 39 43 39 6 ONE MINUTE YOU’RE HERE Bruce Springsteen 67400 40 41 40 3 NOTHING ELSE (WHEN I THINK OF YOU) Joe Stone featuring Janet Jackson 43750 41 31 1 8 MIND GAMES John Lennon 478400 42 32 1 8 #9 DREAM John Lennon 472800 43 28 28 5 FEVER Dua Lipa & Angele 74200 44 30 30 6 STRAIGHT TO THE MORNING Hot Chip featuring Jarvis Cocker 69350 45 50 45 3 THE FOOL Overcoats 29600 46 46 46 3 HIGHER Bishop Briggs 32700 47 33 33 6 11 PAST THE HOUR Imelda May 69250 48 48 48 4 LOVE OF YOUR LIFE RAYE 32300 49 49 49 2 PRISONER Miley Cyrus featuring Dua Lipa 24200 50 15 15 16 LOVE AND AFFECTION Joan Armatrading 249450 51 52 51 3 LAMB’S WOOL Foster The People 27250 52 45 3 15 TICK TOCK Clean Bandit & Mabel featuring 24kGoldn 558000 53 70 53 2 HOW LOW CAN YOU GO LP 17250 54 39 20 9 SAVE YOUR TEARS The Weeknd 142000 55 55 55 4 SHAME SHAME Foo Fighters 30000 56 NEW 56 1 PRAYING FOR TIME George Michael 10600 57 82 57 2 OLD TV SHOWS Smith & Burrows 14000 58 59 58 3 “1-2-3” Len Barry 23100 59 67 59 4 ELAINE Abba 16100 60 60 60 7 TWO HEARTS Phil Collins 46800 61 64 61 5 GANGSTERS The Specials 31400 62 44 6 10 CHASING A FEELING LEON 222900 63 77 63 2 YOU KNOW IT’S CHRISTMAS Dion featuring Joe Bonamassa 11800 64 88 64 2 NEVER LEARN MY LESSON Four Of Diamonds 9500 65 71 65 2 WITH YOU I’M BORN AGAIN Billy Preston & Syreeta 12800 66 74 66 4 FEEL SOMETHING Armin Van Buuren & Duncan Laurence 15100 67 76 67 3 CLASSICAL GAS Mason Williams 13300 68 85 68 2 EVERYBODY DANCE Cedric Gervais & Franklin featuring Nile Rodgers 9400 69 73 69 2 SILLY GAMES Janet Kay 11600 70 91 70 2 MY HEAD & MY HEART Ava Max 7900 71 57 57 5 LOOK BUT DON’T TOUCH Dame Shirley Bassey 24900 72 79 72 2 HOW DOES IT FEEL Slade 9800 73 65 1 19 SAY SOMETHING Kylie Minogue 950600 74 93 74 2 LOVE NOT WAR (THE TAMPA BEAT) Jason Derulo & Nuka 6900 75 81 75 2 FOREVER YOUNG Alphaville 8800 76 51 7 11 I HOPE Gabby Barrett featuring Charlie Puth 236050 77 78 77 6 WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD Louis Armstrong 19200 78 66 2 16 GHOSTKEEPER Klangkarussell & GIVVEN 753850 79 68 8 11 SOMETHING MORE (EDIT) Roisin Murphy 225650 80 61 33 7 CALIFORNIAN SOIL London Grammar 80350 81 87 81 2 SUMMERTIME THE GERSHWIN VERSION Lana Del Ray 6400 82 63 63 4 TOO MANY NIGHTS 220 Kid x JC Stewart 19200 83 53 15 11 ONE TOO MANY Keith Urban & P!nk 182050 84 86 84 3 I’LL STAND BY YOU Pretenders 7400 85 NEW 85 1 BETTER The Vamps 3000 86 NEW 86 1 A CHRISTMAS WISH Beverley Knight 2800 87 NEW 87 1 THEREFORE I AM Billie Eilish 2600 88 58 24 8 BEFORE I GO Mimi Webb 105000 89 NEW 89 1 MAKE U STAY Sega Bodega & Halsey 2200 90 95 90 2 LOVE HURTS Nazereth 3500 DROP OUTS 56 22 6 LIGHT Michael Kiwanuka 104100 62 14 7 ARM’S LENGTH Kacy Hill 117800 69 21 8 WE’VE ONLY JUST BEGUN Carpenters 129750 72 72 4 GOOD AT GOODBYES Bright Light Bright Light featuring Andy Bell 19000 75 75 4 SHOT IN THE DARK AC/DC 12800 80 17 7 NAKED (WITH MY HEADPHONES ON) Rat City & Kiesza 99600 83 37 9 LET ME GO (CERRONE MIX) Duke Dumont & RY X 84700 84 84 5 GHOSTS Bruce Springsteen 12800 89 89 3 LILY WAS HERE David A.
