The OCC actually changed the instant grat rules specifically to allow Bowie to chart - instant grats were completely ineligible until that point, after that they allowed 1 per album (and they obviously must have quietly dropped the rule entirely at some point during the streaming era).

 

But yes, that is indeed another asterisk I should have mentioned.

 

Super interesting read though!! It is crazy how male heavy that list is though - it is basically all males apart from Whitney which is an old sample and Olga Merediz who is a feature on a dance track.

 

And Agnetha. (ABBA have male members too obvz but only female vocals on that song)

"Padam Padam"

 

Amazon (non-prime/prime): #9/#11 (new peaks)

Apple Music: #8 (new peak)

Spotify: #24 (new peak)

 

New peaks all around today! :cheer:

Rik Mayall - Noble England (52) {released in 2010, charted posthumously in 2014}

 

This was an amazing post, thank you.

 

Not really about the charts, but I first read your post about 20 minutes ago and thought to myself "I don't know who Rik Mayall is". And now I've just had a news article about him pop up in the "For you" section on Google News... Just wow. I knew Google spied on us, but I thought it was just like "User visits buzzjack.com = interested in pop music", I didn't think it went all the way down to reading all the text on every page.

This was an amazing post, thank you.

Don't use Google use other browsers like Duck Duck Go, Google have always spied.

I think this is a complete list of new top 10 hits from 2010-present which had at least one credited vocalist aged 45+ at the time of the song's release* (might be a year out with some of the ages, having to do a bit of mental maths here):

 

Even then it's hard to say many if any of these are really comparable to 'Padam Padam' potentially becoming a genuine 'normal' top 10 hit without any gimmicks that just happens to be by an older artist - Public Enemy charted from being used heavily in Paralympics coverage, Rik Mayall was a posthumous tribute, Waze & Odyssey/Kygo/Luude were remakes of older hits/recordings that just credited the original vocalists, The Wealdstone Raider and The Kunts/The Krown Jewelz were short lived novelty campaigns, the two Eminem songs both charted as part of an album bomb (one of them was never a single), Michael Ball/Tom Moore was a charity single. ...and that just leaves David Bowie and ABBA, which were both comeback singles from their first albums in 10 and 40 years respectively!

 

(did I spend too much time making this post? Yes. But I hope at least some people read it and find it interesting ddd)

 

Wonderful research. Thank you. Yes, I would agree that ‘Padam Padam’ is unique amongst this list - if it makes the top 10.

Going off topic here I know but the freakiest one for me was when I was in the car with a friend who was telling me about a certain podcast, and then the next day Spotify randomly suggested that very podcast to me! I mean it could just have been a coincidence but it did freak me out a little.

 

Anyway, back to the topic, good to see new peaks all round for Kylie. It's truly amazing how well this has done but of course the real test is going to be whether she can come close to repeating the streaming success with the next single.

And Agnetha. (ABBA have male members too obvz but only female vocals on that song)

 

It was such an incredible achievement that ABBA managed that new top 10 hit in the streaming era. Kylie is still so young compared to them.

 

Is Frida not a credited vocalist on that? I can hear her vocals on the chorus.

 

That post was super interesting btw, shows how closed off the charts are to any woman over the age of 50 now, and how incredible Kylie's achievement would actually be.

I wasn't sure about that but Google just said Agnetha performed 'lead vocals', and there was a link to a list of all ABBA songs with who does vocals on them which only listed Agnetha - although looking it up again I found another source that says all 4 members have vocals on it. (I clearly don't remember what it sounded like well enough for that to not ring any bells :lol:)

I'm really not expecting this to last beyond one single, it feels like they've captured lightning in a bottle which is why I'm savouring every moment of it.

 

It would be nice to see some support for the next single though, especially as this "comeback" feels like it's been a really notable moment in pop culture.

I've seen rumours on Reddit of there being some kind of Drake drop again tonight (possibly an EP, also saw a separate rumour that there's a Central Cee/Drake collab coming soon). So far doesn't look like there's any sign of that but I guess it could show up at 5am. Just what BuzzJack wants to see if true x

 

There is a new Gunna album confirmed coming though, intrigued to see how that'll do following the whole YSL arrest / 'snitching' debacle.

Kylie now #9 on Amazon, that's insane!

Did HHUK not add Doja or Leigh Anne? (Or anything new?)

Leigh-Anne's track is exactly 3 minutes long, the Eurovision track UK needed but didn't get.

I was also surprised that HH didn't add Leigh Anne

Doja Cat might be added on Monday as per usual with US artists

 

think they added this Noah song but not 100% song

 

of course Jazzy back to #1 on HH :D

Heat Waves back up to #28! A second wave of auto-play

Kylie still holding up well at #24
