26th December 2021

 

It's a 5th chart-topper of the year for Abba, as Xmas single Little Things sneaks in amongst the xmas playlists, giving Abba the most chart-toppers in one year with new material for any act since....Abba in 1979. No other act had done that before or since. I would have been incredulous if someone had said at the start of the year that Abba would do it again...! That means that huge fave of mine, Todd Rundgren's 1973 remake of his own 1969 original Hello It's Me, is new in at 2, having gone top 5 in early 1974 and now back in the sales chart for a reason I know not. It's brilliant.

 

The other chart news is the death of Monkees fave Michael Nesmith, weeks after completing his farewell tour with Micky Dolenz, 3 of my heroes now gone from the band. I've seen them in various line-ups, including all 4 originals, and I love them. I last saw Micky in Wimbledon theatre dancing with dragged-up Michael Ball in hairspray. Mike Nesmith was a bonafide talented songwriter, so I've included some of The Monkees best non-hit-singles which were written and sung by Mike, all of them gems, plus his 1977 solo hit Rio as he eyed up creating MTV with his promo of that year.

 

The only new track I've heard in the last 2 weeks that has made an impression on me while I've been busy being full-time carer for my mum is Years And Years/ Galantis - and I only heard that once. Other than that, Harry Belafonte's Mary's Boy Child xmas classics is new in - number one when I was born, dad had Harry Belafonte's album for me to listen to growing up, I'm retreating to my childhood for some solace from this f***ing awful year. Good riddance 2021.

Hi there!

Nice to see ABBA hit the top in your chart, even though the song they did it with was sadly my least favourite song on the album.

I do like the debut for "Sweet Talker" in your chart.

Great chart, wishing you a merry christmas and a happy new year!

26th December 2021

1. LITTLE THINGS - ABBA

 

John, sadly this chart is not official UK hitlist. Possibly it's my favourite # 1 from your non-retrospective Buzzjack charts.

 

I thought that ABBA will get top 10 result with "Little Things" in UK. :(

I only know about two or three from The Monkees, the obvious ones of course. The Abba domination showing no signs of easing I see. :lol:

 

Fantastic chart as always :wub:

Hi Sergej! :)

 

Thanks and Happy New Year to you too, hope it's a good one!

Hi Alex, it was always going to be a tough sell without a reason to buy the CD single (though I bought a download cos it was for charity) after everyone had the album, but it was an actual UK chart entry, ABBA had 5 official chart entries in 2021, not bad for a band that hasn't existed for 40 years! It's very sweet, though, and I hope it comes back every xmas :wub:

Hi John,

I only know about two or three from The Monkees, the obvious ones of course. The Abba domination showing no signs of easing I see. :lol:

 

Fantastic chart as always :wub:

 

Hi AH, mum's improving fingers-crossed, thanks, and I hope to get her mobile again with some therapy NHS help. ABBA domination is officially on the decline this week though....oops! :D

 

The Monkees were a great band, well worth a Greatest Hits listen as their own songs are as good as the professionally-written songs that tended to become the singles. It helps if you like poprock country songs with Michael Nesmith songs (and I do) though :)

 

thanks as ever for the longalist B-)
