Posted January 18, 20223 yr 16th January 2022 It's back up on top for a 2nd week for Abba's When You Danced With Me - still time to make it an official single! That means Abba have topped my charts in 20 calendar years. Yola gets a 2nd consecutive top 5 with the lovely Dancing Away In Tears, while Ella Henderson gets her 3rd top 10 and first one since Ghost in 2014. The Weeknd makes it at least a dozen as main artist in the top 10, plus others as featured artist, including 2 number ones. Following the sad death of the fab Ronnie Spector, the all-time classic Be My Baby is back again at 18. My dad bought the single around 1966, I grew up loving it, and it eventually topped my charts in 1974, and again in 2015. Baby I Love You, another Phil Spector production for his now late Ex, has charted many times, number one in 1973 for a fabulous Dave Edmunds Spector-ish remake, and another actual Spector-revamp for The Ramones in 1980, but never the original version till now. Sonny & Cher & Darlene Love are on backing vocals and both songs were written by the fab Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich who both have dozens of great songs to their credit. Be My Baby is one of the greatest records of all-time, loved by genius pop makers like Brian Wilson, and rock critics, and me. New tracks include Neiked and the very Doja Cat Say So-ish Better Days, Morgan Wade debuting with Wilder Days, Adele charting the second track off 30 with Oh My God at 50, Franz Ferdinand return with their first chart entry in 4 years, and extending their run to 18 years, Billy Goodbye. Elvis Costello does a quick 2nd chart entry in a row, Paint The Red Rose Blue making it 45 years of chart-busting, Muse make it 22 years and 30 entries with Won't Stand Down at 70, Klingande and Merk & Kremont all chart again with a collab, NERVO gets a 2nd as lead artist 7 years since Kylie, jake Shears & Nile Rodgers lent a helping on the first top 10 The Other Boys, and Joni Mitchell's classic, much-covered, much-charted classic song Both Sides Now debuts for the first time for the original artist/writer. 1 6 1 11 WHEN YOU DANCED WITH ME - ABBA 990000 2 2 1 4 HELLO IT’S ME - Todd Rundgren 515000 3 3 1 10 GIVE IT ALL UP - Duran Duran featuring Tove Lo 1035000 4 22 4 3 DANCING AWAY IN TEARS - Yola 96000 5 1 1 4 YOU JUST MAY BE THE ONE - The Monkees 395000 6 5 1 11 ODE TO FREEDOM - ABBA 980000 7 9 7 2 NOTHING’S EVER GONNA BE GOOD ENOUGH - Miles Kane featuring Corinne Bailey Rae 95000 8 8 8 8 HOLIDAY - Confidence Man 217200 9 25 9 2 BRAVE - Ella Henderson 63750 10 20 10 2 LESS THAN ZERO - The Weeknd 62000 11 7 3 11 BUMBLEBEE - ABBA 637000 12 4 4 4 WHAT AM I DOING HANGING ROUND?
