Posted November 15, 20231 yr 12th November 2023 It's 3 weeks on top for The Beatles - no new Beatles single has ever done that since I started charting in 1968, though to be fair many have had more total weeks as oldies and accumulated totals. Hey Jude had one week in 1968, Let It Be and The Long & Winding Road has 2 weeks each in 1970, and Free As A Bird had 2 in 1995. The rest have all been oldies. That leaves ABBA oldies all going up, with Eagle and Knowing Me Knowing You going top 3 again. Kylie still has 2 in the top 10 and now OMD also have two big climbers, the most melodic tracks off the new album, Veruschka at 4 and Look At You Now at 9 means they've had at least 25 top 10's spread over 43 years, with the only decade they've missed since 1980 kicked them off being the Noughties. The new entries are all bunched down the lower end: Dua Lipa's second of 2023 the highest just ahead of Loreen's new single, her 6th in 11 years to chart, and following up her Eurovision chart-topper. Jessie Ware keeps her current run of album picks going, Agentha does a new Xmas version of her previously charted album track, Angelina Mango debuts, as do Brighton act Barbara with a gentle toon. And oh yes, I managed to evict a load of tunes to cut the chart down to 85.

November 16, 20231 yr Hey John :hi: I'm not surprised to see now and then continuing to do well here, I'm glad you're enjoying it. Hold on to now should get a climbing my chart next week but as it stands right now it'll be a short lived revival. This could be a situation where the video helps the song immensely. Tension has done great here considering the type of song it is. I'm still loving it :wub: Skipping like a stone getting a new peak :wub: this one has just left my chart but I did enjoy it immensely. Houdini is a bop. Fantastic song from Dua though that entrance at #3 officially was less than I expected. Fab chart ^_^
November 16, 20231 yr Hi there John! Nice to see "Now and Then" at the top again, the big gains for "Chiqitita", "SOS", "Overdrive" and "Mess It Up" and the debuts for "Is It Love" and especially both "Houdini" and "Che T'o Dico A Fa'". Great chart! Take care.

Fab chart ^_^ Hey James! :) Thanks for the Beatles wishes, and snap Hold On To Now getting a revival for me too :D Tension has legs I think, takes a while to warm to, but has multiple hooks to latch onto once it sticks in the brain! Naughty Kylie always seems to do well :lol: Skipping Like a Stone another one that took a while to click but is great, Houdini sounds good on one listen and obviously appealing, but it's not lodged itself enough for me to tell whether it's one of her greats or one of her pretty goods. Yet! cheers! B-)

I must catch up when I get a moment. Fantastic chart as always of course :wub: Hi AH! :) No worries about ever missing a week! Life gets busy and time is always shooting past in a flash...! :) I did check out your new chart but as there wasnt much in new entries to comment on (and I was late for my evening meal :D ) I left it till this week too, or else I would have made a few comments. I'm trying to get my charts to match the publication dates more often! One day I might even succeed :yahoo: Eagle has bizarrely only been a chart hit three times as I didnt allow album tracks in my charts in the 70's and 80's to avoid "doing an Ed Sheeran" every time I bought the new ABBA album :o So Eagle didn't get a go till I changed my rules in the 90's to allow B sides and uncharted album tracks (one per album) - and Eagle qualified when Dancing Queen was reissued, and I treated it as a double A side. They were on my charts for years! So, ABBA Voyage has triggered the last 2 peaks at 2, for a 2nd and 3rd chart run. KMKY has had 4 runs, SOS, Voulez Vous, Chiquitita and Lay All Your LOve One Me also 3 runs. So none of them as often as one might think - call myself an ABBA fan! Pah! :lol: I think that Sparks cover might be better than the original too, still sounding good! Radiophonic I thought I might have charted, but I never did, so it'll get a proper run now. :dance: Thanks as always for the picks n comments! B-)
November 22, 20231 yr Author Oh yes, Lucía and the best boys! Good stuff! Thanks Toffo! :) I do so agree about Lucia :)
November 22, 20231 yr Author Beatles at #1 for another week :D New peak positions for ABBA and the Rolling Stones, also new debut for Houdini :D Abba & Beatles will always feature in my charts sometime during a year, I expect :lol: Thanks for the picks SSP! :)
