Posted February 21, 20223 yr 20th February 2022 It's 2 weeks on top for LEON, Wishful Thinking has paid off, and ABBA obviously pay close attention to my personal chart, noted that the only track from Voyage to fail to make the top 10 was No Doubt About It, so they released it as a single to make it the entire album as a top 10 track. That has never happened before in my charts, in 54 years of charting. The Super Trouper album from ABBA has almost done it, just one track left to chart (and to be fair had I allowed album tracks at the time Me And I would have gone top 10 for sure). A bunch of tracks leap into the top 40 as it gets a bit of a shake-up, led by Liam Gallagher at 21, and just behind Elton John and Stevie Wonder adding to their list of top 40's. Highest new entry is a retro disco track from Train, AM Gold new at 46 extending their long run of hits to 22 years. Father John Misty is featured on radio 2 with a classic 1940's-sounding classy orchestral-backed ballad, Funny Girl is lovely, and in at 52. Charli XCX is back, Regard team up with Years & Years, Olly Alexander getting everywhere lately, and Troye Sivan gets another chart entry after 2021's wonderful chart-topper with Tate McRae. That leaves the USA Superbowl performance to give a welcome return to Dr Dre and Mary J. Blige's chart-topper Family Affair. She was fab in Umbrella Academy. 1 1 1 5 WISHFUL THINKING - LEON 467400 2 2 1 4 EVERLASTING LOVE - Love Affair 570000 3 3 3 6 BETTER DAYS - Neiked, Mae Muller & Polo G 350800 4 4 4 7 LESS THAN ZERO - The Weeknd 344000 5 6 5 5 WE STAND ALONE - George Cosby 199000 6 5 4 8 DANCING AWAY IN TEARS - Yola 396000 7 7 7 7 NO CHOICE - Tame Impala 213150 8 9 8 5 SHOW ME LOVE - Tove Styrke 137100 9 10 9 4 LOST - Tinlicker featuring Run Rivers 118750 10 21 10 11 NO DOUBT ABOUT IT - ABBA 206700 11 16 11 5 YOU TOOK THE WORDS RIGHT OUT OF MY MOUTH - Meat Loaf 111550 12 8 6 7 BRAVE - Ella Henderson 294750 13 11 1 16 WHEN YOU DANCED WITH ME - ABBA 1364000 14 12 5 7 NOTHING’S EVER GONNA BE GOOD ENOUGH - Miles Kane featuring Corinne Bailey Rae 304000 15 19 15 4 NEW LOW - Nightlife 76450 16 17 16 9 PAPA GENE’S BLUES - The Monkees 153100 17 13 3 16 BUMBLEBEE - ABBA 811000 18 18 18 4 I STILL HAVEN’T FOUND WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR - Scarlett Johansson & Bono 82750 19 22 19 5 SHADOWS - Bonobo featuring Jordan Rakei 76700 20 14 1 15 GIVE IT ALL UP - Duran Duran featuring Tove Lo 1296000 21 57 21 3 EVERYTHING’S ELECTRIC - Liam Gallagher featuring Dave Grohl 37350 22 20 1 16 ODE TO FREEDOM - ABBA 1113900 23 49 23 4 FINISH LINE - Elton John & Stevie Wonder 47550 24 26 24 6 WON’T STAND DOWN - Muse 89300 25 41 25 4 NEW TRICK - CXLOE 50850 26 54 26 3 RIBBON ROUND THE BOMB - Blossoms 35300 27 29 27 4 WINTER KILLS ME - Markus Schulz featuring Lady V 65900 28 55 28 2 THE JOKER AND THE QUEEN - Ed Sheeran featuring Taylor Swift 29100 29 56 29 3 ORIGINAL SIN - Sofi Tukker 34200 30 35 30 7 SEVENTEEN GOING UNDER - Sam Fender 86750 31 37 31 5 SWEET YOUNG THING - The Monkees 74050 32 30 1 25 I STILL HAVE FAITH IN YOU - ABBA 1387250 33 48 33 4 BREAKUP RITUALS - Mishcatt 48100 34 15 15 6 OH MY GOD - Adele 124900 35 50 35 4 THE BEST MISTAKES - The Divine Comedy 45500 36 23 17 7 SACRIFICE - The Weeknd 135650 37 42 37 4 SHUT OFF THE LIGHTS - Bastille 48700 38 34 1 25 DON’T SHUT ME DOWN - ABBA 1666300 39 31 5 16 KEEP AN EYE ON DAN - ABBA 587750 40 27 1 9 HELLO IT’S ME - Todd Rundgren 698400 41 24 24 7 WHERE ARE YOU NOW - Lost Frequencies & Calum Scott 110300 42 52 42 3 BLOOR STREET - Kiefer Sutherland 35450 43 43 43 7 IF YOU COULD READ MY MIND - Gordon Lightfoot 68100 44 36 36 5 GHOST - Justin Bieber 69850 45 25 18 8 MY HERO - Westlife 136650 46 NEW 46 1 AM GOLD - Train 12750 47 33 18 9 SWEET TALKER - Years & Years + Galantis 144000 48 28 8 13 HOLIDAY - Confidence Man 344300 49 32 27 7 LET’S ALL DANCE - Donny Osmond featuring Charlie Wilson 112600 50 38 1 17 LITTLE THINGS - ABBA 747900 51 75 51 2 DADDY COOL - LIZOT x Boney 16750 52 NEW 52 1 FUNNY GIRL - Father John Misty 11500 53 58 53 3 BREAK THE MAN - Tears For Fears 28450 54 60 54 2 I SEE STARS - The Shires 21000 55 40 40 6 FLAMES - NERVO featuring Salena Mostroianni 57400 56 61 56 2 IT’S TOO LATE - Carole King 18100 57 39 39 4 C’MON PEOPLE (WE’RE MAKING IT NOW) - Richard Ashcroft featuring Liam Gallagher 52050 58 62 58 2 FINGERS CROSSED - Lauren Spencer-Smith 7400 59 64 59 3 GOOD NIGHT ON EARTH - Eels 22400 60 68 60 2 WALKING IN THE RAIN - The Ronettes 16400 61 44 1 9 YOU JUST MAY BE THE ONE - The Monkees 485500 62 53 62 4 I ENGINEER - Animotion 38850 63 63 63 6 BABY I LOVE YOU - The Ronettes 40200 64 51 51 6 PLANET IN THE SKY - Klingande x Merk & Kremont featuring MKLA 49050 65 66 65 3 ANYONE FOR YOU - George Ezra 19800 66 47 47 6 BILLY GOODBYE - Franz Ferdinand 60000 67 72 67 2 ACT OF LOVE - Simple Minds 12200 68 46 35 6 WILDER DAYS - Morgan Wade 76350 69 70 69 4 MORNING OF MY LIFE - John Holt 22800 70 73 70 2 BRIGHTER DAYS - Emeli Sande 11400 71 NEW 71 1 BEG FOR YOU - Charli XCX featuring Rina Sawayama 5800 72 NEW 72 1 HALLUCINATION - Regard and Years and Years 5600 73 NEW 73 1 FAMILY AFFAIR - Mary J.

February 21, 20223 yr Hi there! Nice to see the big gains for "Everything's Electric", "Finish Line" and "The Joker and the Queen" and the debuts for "Beg For You", "Hallucinations", "Family Affair", "Trouble" and "The Next Episode". Great chart!
February 22, 20223 yr Hey John! It's nice to see Better Days still doing well here Weeks and weeks after release. I'm not quite sure if I'm still into it to be honest. The Joker and the Queen is a beautiful song. I'm really into it at the moment although I do wish he'd give be right now an official release. Oh My God is alright but I do feel like if any other ther artist released this as a single it would have missed the top 100 officially. I'll be giving that new train song a listen once I'm don't commenting here. Hopefully that's good. I was hoping yomsee She's all I wanna be enter here but I guess we'll see if that pops up. Nice chatt ^_^

Nice chatt ^_^ Hey James! Hope the new stuff is working out for you and thanks for dropping in! :) I'm starting to reach saturation point with Better days but it had a good run (though I was very late on it :lol: ). Joker & Queen is best thing off the new album, annoyingly it'll be excluded by the lingering early singles I expect, the first single has especially outstayed its welcome! Oh My God is not peak Adele, it's not bad Adele, but it's a step up on plodding Adele - though that popped up on my random playlist today (Easy On Me) and turns out it's quite decent when it catches me unexpectedly after a few weeks away from it. She's All I wanna Be sounded OK on first listen, I didn't dislike it, but I prob need to hear it some more to be persuaded to buy it. Thanks and cheers! B-)

So just in case, it was 1st preference. And it got through :cheer: Hoping a few see it as a discovery, love that 50's twangy guitar bit especially. Original Sin is a goodie, liked that one on half a song listen and bought it without bothering to finish the video :lol: Daddy Cool is a fun remix of a track I've always loved, I hope it does a Rasputin and hits the charts. I ought to rewrite the lyrics to Rasputin for 2022 in the hope someone would like to record Ya Ya Mad Putin for charity to Ukraine causes! I Engineer is back up as I got it onto my car CD player and actually had time to listen to music in the car loud going to play tennis, I got out the house! It sounded much better played loud :lol: Thanks as ever! B-)
