Posted March 23, 20232 yr 19th March 2023 It's a first number one for Niall Horan, the second One Direction solo member to do what the boyband never came close to doing, with Heaven leading the singles pack after 6 years of solo entries and 12 years including the band hits. Kishi Bashi makes it 2 oldies top 10's over the last few months to total 6 top 10's out of 9 chart hits, Manchester being the oldest one to chart at over a decade old. Time he got better known! Meghan Trainor makes it a hat trick of album hits, as Mother gives her a 2nd top 20 in a row, and beats the sampled Mister Sandman's 2016 peak of 33. Jaded leaps up for MIley Cyrus as her other big album track River enters at 56, for 3 on the chart. Highest new entry is an unexpected orchestral makeover for Def Leppard's classic rock hit Animal, and which works rather well at 39 after going top 5 in 1987 in the original version. Lead singer Joe Elliot meanwhile debuts at 42 with mates Ghost on Spillways for a bonafide 40-year chart career here from me. Photograph was the first way back when. Reverend & The Makers replace themselves in the chart with a hat-trick of album singles, Problems at 53, and Information Society return with What's On Your Mind? 35 years on from topping my charts with their big US hit, and Duran Duran-influenced synth hit, the Star-Trek McCoy & Spock sampling (Pure Energy) song new at 57. Talking of 80's veterans, belinda Carlisle is back again with Big Big Love, sounding very much like her old hits, new at 63 and 37 years of solo chart attention, or 41 Gogos included. Loreen is back in Eurovision, and new at 64 with Tattoo, her 5th chart entry, first in 8 years, and following on 2 top 3's - Euphoria at 3, My Heart Is Refusing Me at 2. Taylor Swift is releasing material at a furious pace not seen since the heyday of Prince (let's ignore those who do a lot of "features"), out this week is All Of The Girls You Loved Before stored from a few years ago. Nathan Evans makes it 4 chart entries, Catch You When You Fall, Alison Goldfrapp gets a 3rd off her new solo album, So Hard So Hot, I assume she's overcooked something in the oven, Bebe Rexha and Zara Larsson add to their run of singles, Yeah Yeah Yeahs make it two in a row, Pulp get a 3rd oldie track from 1990's album His 'n' Hers, and finally, Shaky's back! First charting with Hot Dog 43 years ago, most recently in the chart with that Xmas oldie, most recent new recording Echoes Of Merry Christmas Everyone, a sparse 2015 set-up for his new track, an actual slag-off big banking unexpected return with All You Need Is Greed.

March 24, 20232 yr Hey John! Rain archers doing well. Originally it was entering for me in a couple of weeks but I'm gonna wait a week extra. After a quiet start to the year there are far too many good songs out now :lol: That is a huge climb for Mother :cheer: I'm very impressed though! Nice climb for I wrote a song as well. As I said last week, I'm pretty sure this will smash on the night. I'd be quite surprised if it does poorly. River is fab. I much prefer it immediately to flowers. But I do love flowers now. Tattoo is great. I see this getting a top 3 placing on the night and again I'll be surprised if this flops for Sweden. All of the girls you loved before is a beautiful song. It's a shame it wasn't included on lover originally. Blacktop is great although I have removed it from my playlist now. Hopefully this can smash for you. .fantastic chart ^_^
March 24, 20232 yr Hi John! Nice to see "Heaven" at the top, "Ghosts Again" reaching the top 10, the big gains for "Jaded", "Die For You", "I Found Her" and "Oil" and the debuts for "Animal", "River", "What's On Your Mind?" (There's a song and Act that I haven't heard in a while, the song is a fantastic 1988 hit! Really need to catch up with my retro charts soon enough), "Tattoo", "All Of The Girls You Loved Before", "Catch You When You Fall", "Heart Wants What It Wants" and "Can't Tame Her". Great chart!
March 25, 20232 yr Niall Horan gets to #1, well deserved, it's his best song in quite a while :D Also good seeing new peak positions for Gorillaz, Meghan Trainor, When In Rome, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Ellie Goulding and Jason Mraz :D New debuts for Ghost, Miley, Bebe Rexha, Shakin' Stevens and Zara Larsson :D
March 26, 20232 yr Hey John, Niall Horan at the Top and Depeche Mode entering the Top 10 :cheer: Sugababes and Meghan Trainor Top 20, Sophie Ellis Baxter and Miley Cyrus Top 30, The Weeknd & Ariana Grande Top 40 :yahoo: Best new entries bubbling under: Miley Cyrus "River", Zara Larsson, Bebe Rexha, Taylor Swift and Loreen :dance:

B-)

Hi Sergej! :) Thanks for the picks and glad you like Information society, I was very disappointed it was never a UK hit in 1988, it topped my charts and mum and dad bought me a copy while on holiday in the USA. Your retro charts would be welcome to me, but I know how busy life leaves little time to do stuff like that! :) Thanks! B-)
