Posted February 21, 20241 yr 18th February 2024 It's a touching posthumous chart-topper for Glen Campbell on his duet with Eric Church, Hold On Hope, a song that remains as relevant as it was in 2011 on Glen's Ghost On The Canvas album, but this version is even better and not only charts for the first time, it becomes Glen's 14th number one 53 and a half years after his first, comfortably grabbing the second spot behind The Beatles' 55-year span - both of them doing it with old material newly reinvented. Glen had 3 number ones in the 70's, 4 tracks from the late 60's charting over the last 25 years, and new stuff on top in the 00's (3), 10's (3) and now in the 20's. The only decade he missed was the 80's, so that's 4 consecutive decades plus the 70's for 5 in total. Previous chart-topper There's No Me...Without You is also now back at 28 in a new duet version with Carole King. Eric Church, OTOH, has his first chart-topper and chart entry - his albums career is nearly 20 years long, and the country singers terrific vocals and harmonies are a major part of the success of the new version of Hold On Hope. Carole King, meanwhile, hasn't charted in 23 years with new material and is yet to top my chart in 53 years of chart span - though my first love, It Might As Well rain Till September would have done it in hypothetical 1963 charts, and still may do as an oldie. She's written loads of number ones though. Glynis John may have died at 100, but her 51-year-old Send In The Clowns sounds as fabulous as ever in the top 5, joining fellow 1972/3 tracks from The Chi-Lites, The Detroit Spinners and Cockney Rebel. Highest new entry is dance track Carry You, Martin Garrix new at 18 on his biggest track in the 11 years since Animals hit the top spot. Fellow collabs on the track all debut, sounding not entirely unlike Lana Del Ray's Summertime Sadness at times. Dua Lipa's new Tame Impala-produced Training Season is in at 26, Paloma faith gets a banging album cut, Let It Ride, making the 3rd off the new CD to chart, James also debut with Is This Love, extending their chart run to 33 years, Stephen Sanchez follows up his number one with a 3rd track, High, and The Dandy Warhols get a Slash assist on rock track I'd Like To Help You With Your Problem, the dandy's first new track in 19 years to chart, 23 years since Bohemian Like You topped my chart and 26 years since they debuted. Slash charted with Ozzy Osbourne and Elton John in 2020, so it's his 2nd credit, but of course he was busy in the 80's and 90's with Guns'n'Roses, including chart-topper Sweet Child O'Mine and guests spots with Michael Jackson and others. That leaves a surprise new entry from Beyonce going Country, didn't see that coming at any part of her 26-year career and 2 chart-toppers, while Taylor Swift is back with one from the vaults and still no chart-topper in over 16 years. 1 3 1 3 HOLD ON HOPE - Glen Campbell & Eric Church 261000 2 1 1 5 BURNING IN FLAMES - Kaiser Chiefs 431000 3 2 1 4 BLAME YOU - Nero featuring Alana Watson 540000 4 4 3 4 OH NO :: HE SAID WHAT? - Nothing but Thieves 280000 5 15 5 7 SEND IN THE CLOWNS - Glynis Johns 191800 6 7 6 5 ALL NIGHT LONG - Kungs, David Guetta & Izzy Bizu 207200 7 8 7 5 SELFISH - Justin Timberlake 165200 8 5 2 4 SPITFIRE - WE ARE ONE 338000 9 10 9 4 LONELINESS - Pet Shop Boys 126000 10 14 10 5 NEVER BE ALONE - Becky Hill & Sonny Fodera 107900 11 6 5 8 SHADES OF LOVE - The Blessed Madonna featuring The Joy 336200 12 12 12 6 LOSE CONTROL - Teddy Swims 154200 13 9 6 6 BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE (STAY HIGH) - The Black Keys 245000 14 20 14 3 TURN THE LIGHTS BACK ON - Billy Joel 67200 15 17 15 5 SUPERNOVA - Bananarama 107900 16 18 16 5 THE ANSWER - Johnny Marr 91600 17 27 17 3 KISS OF LIFE - Shaznay Lewis 48900 18 NEW 18 1 CARRY YOU - Martin Garrix, Third=Party & Oaks featuring Declan J Donovan 22000 19 13 9 5 NO STRINGS - X Ambassadors 154250 20 11 8 5 AM I GETTING THROUGH PARTS 1 & 2 - Sheryl Crow 173000 21 19 19 5 CAN’T GET ENOUGH - Jennifer Lopez 93050 22 26 22 14 MICHELLE - The Beatles 176450 23 28 23 6 DEEP IN YOUR LOVE - Alok & Bebe Rexha 81050 24 29 24 3 STARS ON 45 THEME - Sgt Slick featuring Starsound 44200 25 16 12 4 SHAPE OF ME - Rita Ora featuring Keith Urban 113750 26 NEW 26 1 TRAINING SEASON - Dua Lipa 18500 27 21 1 12 IMMORTAL - Lufthaus featuring Sophie Ellis-Bextor & Robbie Williams 1081000 28 NEW 28 1 THERE’S NO ME...WITHOUT YOU - Glen Campbell & Carole King 18300 29 24 24 6 A LITTLE MORE LOST - Georgia Ku 110800 30 NEW 30 1 LET IT RIDE - Paloma Faith 18000 31 22 22 6 YES, AND? - Ariana Grande 92700 32 76 32 2 CRAZY LOVE - Above & Beyond featuring Zoe Johnston 22600 33 23 1 13 SEBASTIAN - Cockney Rebel 1145950 34 38 34 5 NIGHTFLIGHT TO VENUS - Boney M 59300 35 25 1 14 GOOD AT BREAKING HEARTS - Jungle featuring JNR Williams & 33.3 893000 36 30 30 5 HIGH - Bryn Christopher 71000 37 40 37 14 HEY BULLDOG - The Beatles 166250 38 50 38 2 DANCE ALONE - Sia & Kylie Minogue 29200 39 33 33 4 LIL BOO THANG - Paul Russell 69300 40 77 40 2 LONELY DANCERS - Conan Gray 21600 41 66 41 3 CLARITY - 24kGoldn 26400 42 37 37 6 LOVE HURT REPEAT - Alle Farben & Lewis Thompson featuring Mae Muller 66250 43 31 11 12 PRADA - Casso, D-Block Europe and RAYE 209000 44 44 44 5 THE OTHERSIDE - Ross Quinn 59800 45 46 45 4 BEAT OF YOUR HEART - Purple Disco Machine & ASDIS 37550 46 32 27 8 NO CALIFORNIA - Ilsey 132650 47 47 47 4 CREEPING ON THE DANCEFLOOR - The Zutons 42200 48 54 48 4 LOVER’S LEAP - Elbow 39300 49 36 1 22 HOLD ON TO NOW - Kylie Minogue 1037350 50 34 6 15 HOUDINI - Dua Lipa 408000 51 39 10 11 JAMCOD - The Jesus And Mary Chain 253900 52 42 42 6 ALIBI - Ella Henderson featuring Rudimental 64850 53 56 53 5 GOTTA GO HOME - Boney M 44650 54 43 35 6 MIRACLE - Shaznay Lewis 67000 55 41 30 8 I REMEMBER EVERYTHING - Zach Bryan featuring Kacey Musgrave 103300 56 35 4 13 BAD WOMAN - Paloma Faith 463050 57 61 57 5 WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO MY SONG MA - Melanie 37200 58 58 58 4 STICK SEASON - Noah Kahan 36400 59 79 59 2 OH HI - Crowded House 14300 60 49 2 19 STORY - Kylie Minogue 845200 61 52 52 7 NATURAL MAGICK - Kula Shaker 55600 62 72 62 2 HAVE YOU SEEN HER - The Chi-Lites 13000 63 63 63 3 NOT PREPARED FOR YOU - Beverley Knight 21200 64 65 64 4 RENT - Pet Shop Boys 24900 65 60 60 6 YOU WANT MY - Bright Light Bright Light 41000 66 75 66 2 I’LL BE AROUND - The Detroit Spinners 11800 67 59 59 7 FARAWAY - Cast 48900 68 NEW 68 1 IS THIS LOVE? - James 6400 69 70 69 3 FROM HERE TO ETERNITY - Engelbert Humperdinck 17400 70 74 70 2 A PLACE IN YOUR HEART - Gabrielle 11200 71 71 71 3 NOTHING BUT THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD - Glen Campbell & Eric Clapton 17000 72 73 72 2 WHEN THE STARS GO BLUE - Paul Young 11000 73 78 73 2 COULD IT BE I’M FALLING IN LOVE - The Detroit Spinners 9800 74 NEW 74 1 HIGH - Stephen Sanchez 5200 75 55 55 6 WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT - Dizzee Rascal featuring Jme & Double E 44600 76 NEW 76 1 I’D LIKE TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR PROBLEM - The Dandy Warhols featuring Slash 4800 77 64 1 24 SOMETHING ON MY MIND - Purple Disco Machine x Duke Dumont x Nothing But Thieves 1000250 78 62 4 16 LOOK AT YOU NOW - Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark 533550 79 NEW 79 1 TEXAS HOLD ‘EM - Beyonce 4200 80 NEW 80 1 IS IT OVER NOW?

February 21, 20241 yr Hi John! Nice to see "Never Be Alone" in the top 10, the big gain for "Dance Alone" and the debuts for "Carry You", "Training Season", "High", "Texas Hold 'Em" and "Is It Over Now?". Great chart! Take care.
February 22, 20241 yr Hey John. Magnificent to see pet shop boys doing well :cheer: Never be alone top 10 is great as well. It's so good. Carry you is very good. I just need to find room to chart it now. I'm loving everything on my chart at the moment. Training season is decent. Sonically very similar to Houdini but not quite as good I don't think? Good climb for dance alone. Texas hold em is great. Not what I expected Beyonce to release. Kinda fitting you entered it this week alongside ex queen of country Taylor. Is it over now is gorgeous. Fab chart ^_^

Fab chart ^_^ Hey James! :) Thanks for the picks, glad you like PSB, its holding ok top 10 for me, Carry You is a great dance tune, and I like Training Season so far, not sure it will beat Houdini but it took me a while to warm to that one properly, but eventually it got to 6. Beyonce certainly was a Country surprise, albeit old fashioned yee-ha C&W rather than Taylor's more ballad-based stuff. Is It Over Now is taking a while to register with me but it's nice enough. Thanks as always! Cheers :cheer: B-)

I was amazed I didn't fall over from exhaustion. Achy muscles and bones next day though! First track to get me dancing was Sound Of The Crowd, how appropriate! I met the DJ's in Sitges many years ago, so had a reacquaint chat near the end after I'd gone mad for Love Hangover :lol: Hope you have had a good week! Tut tut, Nero is fab, I was going to send it to BJSC but everyone started charting it so I dropped that idea :lol: Nightflight To Venus should have been a hit instead of Painter Man I think, and the similarity to Dance With The Devil (seems popular on BJ this week) was always part of it's appeal. Lonely Dancer, I keep wanting to sing "a safety dance, ahhh", hah :D Thanks as ever for all the chart picks and comments! B-)
March 1, 20241 yr Author ooooh new James stuff gotta check it out! and another single is out this week :o
