Posted November 1, 20213 yr 31st October 2021 It's 2 weeks on top Agnes, Here Comes The Night still banging dance, but being chased by Purple Disco Machine's Dopamine at 2, both of them nodding to classic disco era tracks (Abba/Agnes, and Crown Heights Affair/Purple Disco). I still love disco, obviously! Texas get a big climb to 5, the lovely Unbelievable giving them 4 from 4 top 10's from the Hi album, that hasn't happened since 2005/6. Tears For Fears get an even bigger climb as Radio 2 playlist The Tipping Point, a grower and their 3rd biggest track of the 21st century, and 12th (at least) top 10 in 40 years. ABBA make it 3 top 10's at the same time, a first for them with new material, and Johnny Marr gets his first-ever solo top 10 38 years after getting his first with The Smiths (and many more under various guises in the years since). Highest new entry is a duet version of the classic Marvin Gaye Motown soul track, Abraham (Lincoln), Martin (Luther King Jr) and John (Kennedy) in a tribute to the assassinated politicians, this time with Beverley Knight doing a good job at keeping the vibe real. 51 years since that charted. Steps keep the hits coming with their cover of the 1987 Five Star hit, The Slightest Touch, new at 58; it's halloween, and so Monster Mash is back again, and so are Backstreet Boys with the still-fabulous Everybody - Bobby 'Boris' Pickett hit my top 2 in 1973, when I was 15 - and it was already a decade old by then! This is the 6th time it's charted, and Everybody has done it for the 4th time. David Bowie's abandoned early 2000's album is imminently due, and getting promo is You've Got A Habit Of Leaving, his then-new version of his 60's song. You can't buy it yet, annoyingly. I thought the days when record companies forced you to buy albums were deservedly dead and buried... Kasabian return after a 3-year break for their 18th chart entry, Alygatyr, for a 17th year of chart action, Meduza bring in Hozier for a chart return after a 3-year gap, and Swedish House Mafia return following disbanding 8 years back, with a little help from their freinds - the friend being The Weeknd which can't hurt at all for chart success. The Weeknd debuted the year they disbanded for a nice bit of baton-handing. 1 1 1 5 HERE COMES THE NIGHT - Agnes 537800 2 6 2 5 DOPAMINE - Purple Disco Machine featuring Eyelar 240600 3 2 1 9 DON’T SHUT ME DOWN - ABBA 1280000 4 3 1 9 I STILL HAVE FAITH IN YOU - ABBA 1035000 5 27 5 3 UNBELIEVABLE - Texas 88600 6 9 6 6 MY UNIVERSE - Coldplay x BTS 235000 7 45 7 4 THE TIPPING POINT - Tears For Fears 80100 8 16 8 2 JUST A NOTION - ABBA 73000 9 4 3 10 BITTER TASTE - Billy Idol 527300 10 13 10 6 SPIRIT POWER AND SOUL - Johnny Marr 135250 11 18 11 3 WHEN YOU WERE MINE - Joy Crookes 76800 12 7 5 6 HEAT ABOVE - Greta Van Fleet 272100 13 11 9 6 ANNIVERSARY - Duran Duran 181200 14 15 14 8 HEAT WAVES - Glass Animals 155600 15 10 7 9 ALIBIS - Sneaker Pimps 273600 16 21 16 5 BACK TO OZ - Sufjan Stevens & Angelo De Augustine 85700 17 22 17 5 FUEL TO FIRE - Agnes Obel 75300 18 30 18 3 SORRY - Emma Steinbakken 52750 19 19 19 8 DUM DUM DIDDLE - ABBA 146200 20 12 4 10 ON THE WRONG SIDE - Lindsey Buckingham 454000 21 14 14 8 CARE FOR - Blossoms 131750 22 17 3 15 WAVES OF BLUE - Majid Jordan 669200 23 35 23 3 ON MELANCHOLY HILL - Gorillaz 43150 24 28 24 4 ALL OF THE TIME - Jungle 53500 25 36 25 6 THAT’S WHAT I WANT - Lil Nas X 58050 26 5 5 23 DON’T LET THE SUN CATCH YOU CRYING - Gerry & The Pacemakers 432850 27 23 17 8 HANGING ON YOUR HINGES - Stereophonics 124500 28 8 8 2 MOVIESTAR - Harpo featuring Frida 66300 29 29 29 8 AS GOOD AS NEW - ABBA 119550 30 33 30 5 TALAMANCA - BURNS 70300 31 25 7 12 COLD HEART (PNAU REMIX) - Elton John & Dua Lipa 383650 32 24 10 10 SUNSHINE - Liam Payne 243250 33 50 33 3 HUMANKIND - Coldplay 39800 34 39 34 6 JUSTIFIED - Kacey Musgraves 72200 35 56 35 2 A SECOND TO MIDNIGHT - Kylie Minogue & Years & Years 28100 36 20 12 4 NO TIME TO DIE - Billie Eilish 104400 37 26 4 10 A NIGHTINGALE SANG IN BERKELY SQUARE - Tori Amos 288450 38 NEW 38 1 ABRAHAM, MARTIN & JOHN - Marvin Gaye & The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra featuring Beverley Knight 17200 39 38 28 9 ETERNAL LOVE - JLS 132650 40 48 40 3 FAMILY - Emeli Sande 36100 41 32 3 12 DIRT - Keane 524700 42 34 8 10 GOODBYE - LP 257550 43 47 43 10 HONKY TONK WOMEN - The Rolling Stones 90350 44 31 19 8 LOVE UNDER PRESSURE - James Blunt 126750 45 55 45 3 WHO’S GONNA LOVE ME NOW? - James Morrison 31000 46 42 1 23 YOU - Regard, Troye Sivan & Tate McRae 1263850 47 52 47 8 BROKEN LAND - The Adventures 69700 48 37 20 13 GOOD 4 U - Olivia Rodrigo 189400 49 40 19 8 BETTER DAYS - Dermot Kennedy 124450 50 66 50 3 BURNING BRIDGES - Sigrid 24800 51 41 28 7 ON MY WAY - Natalie Imbruglia 87000 52 57 52 5 TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD - Ewan McVicar featuring Rufus & Chaka Khan 41200 53 43 8 10 I DON’T MIND - Lindsey Buckingham 233650 54 44 33 7 SEASIDE - Diane Warren, Rita Ora, Sofia Reyes & Reik 95050 55 59 55 3 UNDENIABLE - Kygo featuring X Ambassadors 26700 56 64 56 5 DON’T BREAK THE HEART - Tom Grennan 35000 57 46 12 12 IF SOMETHING’S GONNA KILL ME (IT MIGHT AS WELL BE LOVE) - The Stranglers 233800 58 NEW 58 1 THE SLIGHTEST TOUCH - Steps 10200 59 72 59 2 SHIVERS - Ed Sheeran 15700 60 63 60 9 MISTY BLUE - Dorothy Moore 54600 61 54 4 15 MOVE WITH ME - Mad Circuit 369850 62 NEW 62 1 EVERYBODY (BACKSTREET’S BACK) - Backstreet Boys 7300 63 69 63 3 GET TOGETHER - Belinda Carlisle 18800 64 49 5 12 YOU CAN CALL ME - Texas 380950 65 NEW 65 1 YOU’VE GOT A HABIT OF LEAVING - David Bowie 7000 66 58 1 24 LEAVE BEFORE YOU LOVE ME - Marshmello x Jonas Brothers 1364850 67 71 67 3 EASY ON ME - Adele 17600 68 51 9 12 PSYCHO - Maisie Peters 265300 69 73 69 3 STARLIGHT - Westlife 11600 70 75 70 2 SEE YA WHEN I SEE YA - Miles Kane 11000 71 NEW 71 1 ALYGATYR - Kasabian 5800 72 53 40 7 IF IT’S LOVE - Sting 67650 73 NEW 73 1 MONSTER MASH - Bobby ‘Boris’ Pickett & The Crypt Kickers 5400 74 NEW 74 1 TELL IT TO MY HEART - Meduza featuring Hozier 5200 75 NEW 75 1 MOTH TO A FLAME - Swedish House Mafia & The Weeknd 5000 DROP OUTS 60 60 6 WHO - Donny Osmond 44000 61 44 9 FANTASY - Mariah Carey 76850 62 10 14 KISS MY (UH-OH) - Anne-Marie & Little Mix 271700 65 29 9 FLASHBACK (COLLRBONE REMIX) - Javiera Mena featuring Collrbone 109500 67 67 3 ANGEL FACE - The Glitter Band 19000 68 22 11 FLY AWAY - Tones And I 163800 70 70 3 LET’S GET TOGETHER AGAIN - The Glitter Band 16600 74 1 22 GYPSIES, TRAMPS AND THIEVES - Cher 745500
November 1, 20213 yr Hi there John! Nice to see "Dopamine" climb almost to the top, hopefully it gets there someday! I also like seeing "The Tipping Point" and "Just A Notion" reaching the top 10, the big gains for "THAT'S WHAT I WANT", "Humankind", "A Second To Midnight", "Burning Bridges" and "Shivers" and the debuts for "Everybody", "Monster Mash", "Tell It To My Heart" and "Moth To A Flame". Great chart!
November 2, 20213 yr Hey John! That's a nice climb for just a notion and puts it rightfully in the top 10 :wub: fantastic stuff. I think I say this every week but You has such a phenomenal run here. Better Days rumbling down your chart now. That really is a shame. I adore it. He's quite hot too :lol: Easy On Me only getting those tiny wee climbs is so shit :lol: come on John! You know you love it! Moth to a flame is great. Much better than Take My Breath imo. Nice chart! ^_^
November 3, 20213 yr Not a bad Agnes track, and pdm always bring out a great track, this one recently peaked at 4 for me... Shame Abba dropping down tho!
November 3, 20213 yr Nice climb for Just A Notion, I was worried when this song started only at # 16 on the previous week.

Great chart! Hi Sergej! :) Sadly Dopamine's chances just ended with an Abba invasion :lol: Oops! :D Thanks for the picks! B-)

Nice chart! ^_^ Hey James! :) Sadly Just a Notion gets only one week in the top 10, that's not happened for an ABBA single in my chart since 1975, oops! I blame ABBA having a new album filled with classic tracks :o :yahoo: You, may well be record of the year - hard to call at the moment though! I noticed the visual appeal of Dermot Kennedy when I saw the video recently :lol: Adele, sadly, oops, has peaked I think. It's quite pleasant but it's no Chasing Pavements! :D cheers! B-)
November 11, 20213 yr Author Not a bad Agnes track, and pdm always bring out a great track, this one recently peaked at 4 for me... Shame Abba dropping down tho! Hi Toffo, Agnes is usually decent, ditto pdm - I was a bit late on this one but got there in the end! :lol: cheers! B-)
November 11, 20213 yr Author Nice climb for Just A Notion, I was worried when this song started only at # 16 on the previous week. Hi Alex, yes oops! Quite modest for me for ABBA - it would have been higher this week too if not for the new ABBA album. It would have sounded great on Ring Ring, Waterloo, or Abba I think, very much in that tradition. :)
November 11, 20213 yr Author Hi John, ABBA 3 times Top 10 :heart: :heart: :heart: :D PDM, Coldplay and Tears For Fears all up in the Top 10 :cheer: Lil Nas X Top 30 and Kylie & Olly Top 40 :yahoo: Beautiful track of Marvin Gaye ft Beverly Knight and The RPO :heart: Thanks for that.

Hi Sven! :) 3 Abba top 10 is just for starters! :o :lol: Thanks for all the picks and glad you like the Marvin gaye single, it's been done beautifully and Bev Knight fits in so well. I wish that Bowie single was available for download! cheers! B-)

Spoiler alert: ABBA will be topping my chart again! :lol: (It's not Just A Notion, I see that as more of a late bonus track than a proper new single, given it's well over 40 years old) Harpo making a swift exit as it had two long runs back in 1975 and 1976, and it was back really just to add enough "sales" to get into my all-time Top 900. One day I'll have the time to start that up again....! cheers! B-)
