Posted May 11, 20223 yr 8th May 2022 It's BirdSMITH kissing it better on top, what a great record, very Stevie Nicks 80's era. Keith Urban can't stop getting those top 10's, Nightfalls is just the latest, and Sigrid climbs fast into the 20 as it gets dark. Highest new entry is a 41st year of Bananarama top 40's since Aiemwana, their cover of Yamasukis 1971 obscure great aka Daft Punk's dad. Tom Grennan is back, DNCE are also back after a break while Jonas brothers had more of a profile, and Tears For Fears make it a 4th from the new album to chart. PSY is back after a long absence with a bit of an assist from his BTS connections, Doja Cat finally does something more interesting, sampling the 70-odd years-old Elvis-inspiring Hound Dog herself, Big mama Thornton, and Suggs and Paul Weller do a Jam/Madness Britpop bit of combo fun. 1 3 1 6 KISS IT BETTER - BirdSMITH 345400 2 1 1 6 AS IT WAS - Harry Styles 402600 3 2 1 9 THE LAST GOODBYE - ODESZA featuring Bettye LaVette 977000 4 4 3 7 PURPLE ZONE - Soft Cell & Pet Shop Boys 435000 5 5 1 9 SPACE MAN - Sam Ryder 763250 6 9 6 6 PARTY IN MY MIND - Dolores Forever 194250 7 10 7 6 KALIMA MINOU - Shanguy & Mark Neve 142950 8 11 8 6 NIGHTFALLS - Keith Urban 155900 9 14 9 6 MONA LISA - mxmtoon 139450 10 7 2 9 MY LOVE - Florence + The Machine 604750 11 16 11 6 PYRAMIDS - Otto Knows 121200 12 18 12 6 DIE IN THE DISCO - Night Club 115450 13 8 1 12 AM GOLD - Train 764850 14 27 14 6 DEEPER - ZIDA & Rat City 85950 15 39 15 3 IT GETS DARK - Sigrid 50500 16 17 16 4 ALL OF YOU - Duran Duran 71800 17 21 17 4 ABOUT DAMN TIME - Lizzo 65550 18 20 18 4 LOST TRACK - HAIM 59400 19 26 19 6 STRANGE GAME - Mick Jagger 85500 20 12 10 8 OUT YONDER - Elle King 191100 21 13 7 9 ESCAPE - Kx5 (Kaskade & Deadmau5) featuring Hayla 230350 22 6 1 3 THE HUSTLE - Van McCoy & The Soul City Symphony 244500 23 25 23 5 WILD CHILD - The Black Keys 74500 24 15 8 10 RUN - Becky Hill & Galantis 254900 25 36 25 2 FREEDOM - Jon Batiste 36150 26 19 19 12 TROUBLE - Troye Sivan & Jay Som 152400 27 32 27 5 CITY OF GODS (PART II) - Alicia Keys 52400 28 29 28 2 FREE - Florence + The Machine 36500 29 24 1 16 WISHFUL THINKING - LEON 1158350 30 22 8 10 HELLO WORLD - Alan Walker & Torine 241900 31 33 31 7 MAKE YOUR MARK - Seth Lakeman 99300 32 23 10 12 HALLUCINATION - Regard and Years and Years 236150 33 31 31 10 FORGIVE ME - Sofi Tukker & Mahmut Orhan 134700 34 34 34 8 A LITTLE BIT OF LOVE - Weezer 93600 35 35 35 13 IT’S TOO LATE - Carole King 169750 36 28 19 9 BONES - Imagine Dragons 139700 37 70 37 2 THERE ISN’T MUCH - Emeli Sande 23300 38 42 38 4 FORGET ABOUT US - Albin Lee Meldau 47950 39 NEW 39 1 FAVOURITE - Bananarama 17100 40 43 40 3 BAGGY TROUSERS - Madness 44000 41 30 2 18 LESS THAN ZERO - The Weeknd 840500 42 47 42 6 PRAYER - Secret Garden 68150 43 48 43 9 FROZEN - Madonna 86950 44 37 5 12 FUNNY GIRL - Father John Misty 410600 45 64 45 2 WHEN YOU’RE GONE - Shawn Mendes 20100 46 53 46 6 SWEET HARMONY - The Beloved 52600 47 59 47 3 HAND IN GLOVE - Sandie Shaw & The Smiths 32700 48 40 7 11 WEST COAST - OneRepublic 296850 49 38 6 13 WALKING IN THE RAIN - The Ronettes 324400 50 56 50 6 BLOW - Jackson Wang 49700 51 46 3 17 BETTER DAYS - Neiked, Mae Muller & Polo G 648500 52 49 1 27 WHEN YOU DANCED WITH ME - ABBA 1531550 53 60 53 9 GIMME SOME LOVIN’ - The Spencer Davis Group 62450 54 54 1 36 I STILL HAVE FAITH IN YOU - ABBA 1521100 55 45 1 16 SHOW ME LOVE - Tove Styrke 739000 56 72 56 2 DINNER TABLE - Nina Nesbitt 16200 57 55 1 27 ODE TO FREEDOM - ABBA 1259450 58 63 58 3 WATERLOO SUNSET - The Kinks 24000 59 66 59 5 FANTASY - Mariah Carey 33900 60 73 60 2 WHY DOES IT HURT - Will Young 15400 61 NEW 61 1 REMIND ME - Tom Grennan 7500 62 57 1 15 EVERLASTING LOVE - Love Affair 762600 63 NEW 63 1 MOVE - DNCE 7200 64 52 8 11 SAME AIR - The Rocket Summer 272850 65 74 65 2 GREEN GREEN GRASS - George Ezra 12200 66 NEW 66 1 CLOSURE - Wrabel 6800 67 65 1 36 DON’T SHUT ME DOWN - ABBA 1787250 68 68 68 4 NEVER GIVE UP - Chronixx 23400 69 75 69 2 SOMEBODY WAS WATCHING OVER ME - Robert Plant & Alison Krauss 11200 70 NEW 70 1 MY DEMONS - Tears For Fears 6000 71 69 1 27 GIVE IT ALL UP - Duran Duran featuring Tove Lo 1601150 72 NEW 72 1 21 REASONS - Nathan Dawe x Ella Henderson 5600 73 NEW 73 1 THAT THAT - PSY & SUGA 5400 74 NEW 74 1 OOH DO U FINK U R? - Suggs & Paul Weller 5200 75 NEW 75 1 VEGAS (HOUND DOG) - Doja Cat featuring Big Mama Thornton 5000 DROP OUTS 41 10 6 YOU’VE GOT MY NUMBER (WHY DON'T YOU USE IT!) - The Undertones 151250 44 30 10 KING - Florence + The Machine 122450 50 24 7 BRING BACK THE TIME - New Kids On The Block featuring En Vogue, Rick Astley & Salt ‘n’ Pepa 114400 51 20 17 IF YOU COULD READ MY MIND - Gordon Lightfoot 241800 58 27 16 BABY I LOVE YOU - The Ronettes 189000 61 12 2 SUNDAY GIRL - Blondie 42500 62 30 7 KICK - Def Leppard 92250 67 27 10 NIGHT AND DAY - Johnny Marr 114850 71 32 10 IMPOSSIBLE - Royksopp & Alison Goldfrapp 110700
May 11, 20223 yr Hi there John! Nice to see "It Gets Dark", "FREEDOM" and "When You're Gone" gaining huge and the debuts for "Remind Me", "Move", "21 Reasons" and "Vegas". Great chart!
May 12, 20223 yr Hey John! ^_^ My love continuing to do well is groovy. I'm quite liking Free at the moment as well. Lost Track kinda got lost on me in the end. It's a nice song but it lacks substance. It gets dark is such a good song. Nice to see it doing well here. Blechhh the fact that Run is continuing to fall is naff 😀 it's still slaying the hell out of my chart. That's a fab climb for when you're gone. Hopefully it's on course to become a hit here. I really like 21 reasons. Love the sample. I'm glad it's entered your chart :wub: ^_^

Lost Track is under-stated, but it's pleasant, Run has had a good run for my chart (anything over 10 weeks is a pretty good run, over-familiarity can be an issue with me and Radio 2 have been hammering it for ages! :lol: ) cheers for the comments!
