Posted March 22, 20241 yr 17th March 2024 It's a delayed number one for Hold Tight! Dave Dee & co were a fave band when I was a kiddie, and this was a rockin' great song now being used in advert, and that gave me a great excuse to chart it belatedly, being as 1966 predated my first charts, so the 58-year-old stompin' fuzzy guitar chanter gives the band their 3rd chart-topper. I was 8 years old when this was brand new and it's one of the longest waits for any record to top my chart trailing only The Moody Blues Go Now! Dua Lipa grabs yet another top 10, and ditto David Guetta and Galantis, all of them ratcheting up the future back catalogue. Above & Beyond get a second top 10, meanwhile. Steve Harley sadly passed away this week, I had a ticket to see him on tour, but that got postponed and now tragically cancelled, and it's almost 50 years since Judy Teen started his chart career with Cockney Rebel, so that returns and pushes out Sebastian which flopped in 1973. His Andrew LLoyd-Webber chart hit is also returning as I under-rated it at the time (1986-ish) The Phantom Of The Opera is the title track of a fab musical. Other new entries: Ariana follows up with a new one, Selena Gomez too, both are pretty good, Kasabian are back after a short break, James now have two in the chart, they've done that many times in their career, and Good Neighbours debut. Finally Pharrell has been absent a bit of late, but grabs Miley Cyrus to help get a bit of a push with his Doctor. 1 2 1 3 HOLD TIGHT! - Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich 330000 2 1 1 5 CARRY YOU - Martin Garrix, Third=Party & Oaks featuring Declan J Donovan 417000 3 3 1 7 HOLD ON HOPE - Glen Campbell & Eric Church 601000 4 9 4 9 NIGHTFLIGHT TO VENUS - Boney M 207300 5 10 5 3 RIDE - Mia Rodriguez 115500 6 4 1 9 BURNING IN FLAMES - Kaiser Chiefs 671000 7 12 7 5 TRAINING SEASON - Dua Lipa 163500 8 8 8 5 LET IT RIDE - Paloma Faith 167000 9 17 9 3 LIGHTER - Galantis, David Guetta & 5 Seconds Of Summer 86400 10 15 10 6 CRAZY LOVE - Above & Beyond featuring Zoe Johnston 141600 11 5 1 8 BLAME YOU - Nero featuring Alana Watson 762000 12 11 3 8 OH NO :: HE SAID WHAT? - Nothing But Thieves 457000 13 6 1 4 THE SOUND OF THE CROWD - The Human League 372000 14 7 1 11 SEND IN THE CLOWNS - Glynis Johns 555800 15 18 12 9 THE ANSWER - Johnny Marr 204600 16 13 10 7 TURN THE LIGHTS BACK ON - Billy Joel 208200 17 19 17 4 SATURN - SZA 69000 18 14 6 9 ALL NIGHT LONG - Kungs, David Guetta & Izzy Bizu 343200 19 23 19 2 I JUST WANNA STAY HERE - Steve Lawrence & Eydie Gormez 40250 20 16 8 8 LONELINESS - Pet Shop Boys 264000 21 20 15 7 KISS OF LIFE - Shaznay Lewis 137650 22 25 19 8 BEAT OF YOUR HEART - Purple Disco Machine & ASDIS 115550 23 24 23 5 THERE’S NO ME...WITHOUT YOU - Glen Campbell & Carole King 94550 24 22 10 9 NEVER BE ALONE - Becky Hill & Sonny Fodera 195150 25 47 25 2 SWEATPANTS - Paloma Faith 31250 26 28 26 4 I’M NOT BITTER - Dadi Freyr 59650 27 21 7 9 SELFISH - Justin Timberlake 265350 28 38 28 4 GIMME SOME KINDA SIGN - UB40 featuring Gilly G 47900 29 29 29 6 OH HI - Crowded House 81400 30 26 2 8 SPITFIRE - WE ARE ONE 429500 31 50 31 4 ILLUSIONS - Jalen Ngonda 48000 32 32 32 6 LONELY DANCERS - Conan Gray 92100 33 27 22 7 STARS ON 45 THEME - Sgt Slick featuring Starsound 119300 34 40 34 6 I’LL BE AROUND - The Detroit Spinners 70650 35 52 35 3 SECRETS - Glockenbach and Ownboss featuring Jazz Montell 39400 36 39 36 5 IS THIS LOVE? - James 65400 37 33 33 6 DANCE ALONE - Sia & Kylie Minogue 99100 38 77 38 2 KISSING STRANGERS - Usher 21800 39 30 15 9 SUPERNOVA - Bananarama 183500 40 69 40 3 END OF BEGINNING - DJO 27000 41 45 41 6 COULD IT BE I’M FALLING IN LOVE - The Detroit Spinners 58900 42 58 42 3 DIZZY - Olly Alexander 27550 43 31 22 10 YES, AND? - Ariana Grande 161250 44 46 44 7 NOT PREPARED FOR YOU - Beverley Knight 71600 45 64 45 4 ENOUGH - Jess Glynne 32500 46 36 9 9 NO STRINGS - X Ambassadors 220700 47 37 8 9 AM I GETTING THROUGH PARTS 1 & 2 - Sheryl Crow 239100 48 42 1 16 IMMORTAL - Lufthaus featuring Sophie Ellis-Bextor & Robbie Williams 1142050 49 NEW 49 1 JUDY TEEN - Cockney Rebel 12100 50 34 5 12 SHADES OF LOVE - The Blessed Madonna featuring The Joy 403850 51 56 51 4 BELFAST CHILD - Simple Minds 43350 52 35 6 10 BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE (STAY HIGH) - The Black Keys 311250 53 53 53 4 LOCKSMITH - Sadie Jean 40100 54 65 54 4 ALL OR NOTHING - Rebecca & Fiona 30800 55 41 41 5 HIGH - Stephen Sanchez 55750 56 66 56 4 SO MUCH (FOR) STARDUST - Fall Out Boy 26600 57 70 57 3 PURPLE IRISES - Gwen Stefani & Blake Shelton 19400 58 44 23 10 DEEP IN YOUR LOVE - Alok & Bebe Rexha 140100 59 43 12 10 LOSE CONTROL - Teddy Swims 213600 60 74 60 3 PRETTY LITTLE THING - Jungle featuring Bas 18400 61 75 61 2 SHIP OF FOOLS - World Party 12500 62 67 62 4 THE RIGHT WRONG - The Feeling 23800 63 49 24 10 A LITTLE MORE LOST - Georgia Ku 161800 64 57 1 18 GOOD AT BREAKING HEARTS - Jungle featuring JNR Williams & 33.3 934750 65 76 65 3 FLAMME - Juliette Armanet 15200 66 48 30 9 HIGH - Bryn Christopher 124300 67 51 19 9 CAN’T GET ENOUGH - Jennifer Lopez 146200 68 68 68 4 DRIVING ME CRAZY - Rick Astley 22400 69 NEW 69 1 WE CAN’T BE FRIENDS (WAIT FOR YOUR LOVE) - Ariana Grande 6200 70 78 70 2 HEARTS ON THE RUN - Delta Goodrem 10400 71 NEW 71 1 LOVE ON - Selena Gomez 5800 72 72 72 4 ROUND WE GO - Madness 21800 73 NEW 73 1 THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA - Steve Harley & Sarah Brightman 5400 74 NEW 74 1 BEEN LIKE THIS - Meghan Trainor & T-Pain 5200 75 79 75 2 DO NOT DISTURB (KRYSTAL KLEAR NEW WAVE REMIX) - Bananarama 9200 76 NEW 76 1 CALL - Kasabian 4800 77 80 77 2 ALL BY MYSELF - Eric Carmen 8600 78 NEW 78 1 OUR WORLD - James 4400 79 NEW 79 1 HOME - Good Neighbours 4200 80 NEW 80 1 DOCTOR (WORK IT OUT) - Pharrell Williams & Miley Cyrus 4000 DROP OUTS 54 1 16 SEBASTIAN - Cockney Rebel 1181950 55 55 5 A PLACE IN YOUR HEART - Gabrielle 43600 59 12 7 SHAPE OF ME - Rita Ora featuring Keith Urban 153450 60 60 4 TEXAS HOLD ‘EM - Beyonce 31700 61 42 7 CREEPING ON THE DANCEFLOOR - The Zutons 77200 62 33 7 LIL BOO THANG - Paul Russell 105700 63 63 3 I PREDICT A RIOT - Kaiser Chiefs 21600 71 71 4 I’D LIKE TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR PROBLEM - The Dandy Warhols featuring Slash 22200 73 1 25 HOLD ON TO NOW - Kylie Minogue 1060350
March 23, 20241 yr Hey John! Yay for training season getting that bump this week. What a bop! Unfortunately loneliness looks like it may be on the way out here. There is the potential for it to rebound for me this week though. Sweatpants is quite naff imo, sorry. I was quite dissapointed with the album if I'm 100% honest. We can't be friends is fabulous. Ariana's best song in years but definitely her best song ever for me. The video itself is a masterpiece! Fab chart! ^_^
March 23, 20241 yr Hi John! Nice to see "Training Season" and "Lighter" reaching the top 10, the big gains for "Secrets", "Kissing Strangers", "End Of Beginning", "Dizzy", "Enough" and "Ship Of Fools" and the debuts for "We Can't Be Friends (Wait For Your Love)", "Love On" and "Doctor (Work It Out)". Great chart! Take care.

I tend not to let tracks back in once they drop out, or esle Houdini would be back as well. :D Loneliness still sounds good too, but it's not fresh like the ones above it. Oops I prob wont buy the Paloma album anyway, but may look for a couple more tracks when the current ones depart my chart. We Can't Be Friends is still growing for me while yes and... is still sounding vogue-ily fun. Not seen the video yet though, for either of them! I wish we still had Top Of The Pops.... :( cheers as always! B-)

My Steve Harley faves are also Make Me Smile and Sebastian (glad you like that one!), but both of them are already comfortably inside my All-time Million-sellers already and Judy Teen and Phantom needed the extra chart "sales" so I went for them... cheers!
