Posted May 11, 20241 yr 5th May 2024 It's Nonetheless track New London Boy on top, which sounds very much like an autobiographical Neil Tennant stroll down 70's and 80's memory lane with all the sense of lost past that us older folk get, not to mention a drop-dead gorgeous melody, to give Pet Shop Boys a 49th number one, just 3 behind The Beatles now on my charts. Their other album tracks all climb too, Feel rocketing to 5, a real grower that one, while next single A New Bohemia climbs a mere 18 places to 56. Still time to rethink it boys! Ben Hemsley is up 3 to 3 with Closer, and the chart remains hugely packed and competitive and extended as Eurovision starts to make it's presence felt with Sweden's Marcus and Martinus twins' Unforgettable at 68 - no-one does dancepop so consistently classy as Sweden. Condolences to Malta's Sarah Bonnici who failed to make the final, she wuz robbed given the handful of pap that qualidied instead, but Loop is classy dance at 72. meanwhile, Benjamin Ingrosso had a triple mash-up of songs on semi 1 and enters with the last song, Honey Boy at 69 aiding the always-good Purple Disco Machine. Majestic mash-up Celine Dion and The Whispers rhythm track to surprisingly good effect, not quite as good as And The Beat Goes On, but better than I'm On Fire. Duane Eddy 50's guitar legend died this week, sadly, having charted in April as part of Mark Knopfler's Guitar Heroes charity track, and in tribute his best early song Because They're Young drops in at 85 and 80's smash Peter Gunn Art Of Noise remake a but higher at 74. Personal chart regulars Keith Urban, Cigarettes After Sex, and Alan Walker all return with new stuff - even if the UK singles chart continues to ignore them all. 1 3 1 2 NEW LONDON BOY - Pet Shop Boys 255000 2 1 1 4 GOOD MOURNING - Shaznay Lewis featuring Shola Ama & General Levy 497000 3 6 3 2 CLOSER - Ben Hemsley featuring Chenai 140000 4 4 4 4 COMING BACK TO ME GOOD - Kasabian 222000 5 57 5 2 FEEL - Pet Shop Boys 70400 6 2 1 6 DANCING STAR - Pet Shop Boys 550000 7 5 1 7 ECSTASY - Rose Gray 735000 8 7 5 6 DARK DAYS - Moby & Lady Blackbird 250250 9 9 9 3 TEAR YOU APART - She Wants Revenge 77400 10 11 7 7 BABY WHEN YOU GO - Girls Aloud 264500 11 12 10 7 HUMAN - Lenny Kravitz 213200 12 13 12 2 WHY AM I DANCING? - Pet Shop Boys 67000 13 17 13 4 ALONE - Cat Burns 84850 14 8 1 12 CARRY YOU - Martin Garrix, Third=Party & Oaks featuring Declan J Donovan 1004000 15 35 15 3 HELLO LONELY - Alfie Templeman 50500 16 18 16 6 HOMETOWN OF JUPITER - The Vaccines 116550 17 10 10 6 UNDECIDED - RONDE 187400 18 19 18 6 CHANGES - Empire Of The Sun 103200 19 27 19 3 ESPRESSO - Sabrina Carpenter 53400 20 37 20 3 GOOD LUCK, BABE - Chappell Roan 43700 21 29 21 2 THE SECRET OF HAPPINESS - Pet Shop Boys 37950 22 24 22 13 I’LL BE AROUND - The Detroit Spinners 200650 23 14 2 10 RIDE - Mia Rodriguez 507750 24 25 24 4 FEELING GOOD - Hypaton x David Guetta 66550 25 15 6 8 HOME - Good Neighbours 268900 26 16 2 13 CRAZY LOVE - Above & Beyond featuring Zoe Johnston 537100 27 20 18 7 BEFORE YOU GO - Seeb 128600 28 28 28 5 LOTTA LOVE - Rozalla 70200 29 21 1 14 HOLD ON HOPE - Glen Campbell & Eric Church 874950 30 31 30 13 COULD IT BE I’M FALLING IN LOVE - The Detroit Spinners 178700 31 26 26 7 TOO SWEET - Hozier 97900 32 34 32 4 ELECTRIC - Darin 52400 33 23 9 6 LET ME LIVE/ LET ME DIE - Des Rocs 177950 34 51 34 5 RISE UP SINGING - Paul Weller 46750 35 45 35 5 HERE TO STAY - Jalen Ngonda 54750 36 36 36 6 YA YA - Beyonce 80100 37 22 8 10 LIGHTER - Galantis, David Guetta & 5 Seconds Of Summer 317200 38 30 6 12 TRAINING SEASON - Dua Lipa 393700 39 44 39 6 TIME - Eels 66250 40 60 40 2 BULLET FOR NARCISSUS - Pet Shop Boys 27000 41 33 16 10 DIZZY - Olly Alexander 159300 42 50 42 5 PEOPLE ARE GOOD - Depeche Mode 46150 43 47 43 5 SENSE OF TIME - Pet Shop Boys 44500 44 32 32 8 WE CAN’T BE FRIENDS (WAIT FOR YOUR LOVE) - Ariana Grande 113450 45 40 28 6 YOU AND ME - Take That 88600 46 70 46 2 SMALL TOWN SCANDAL - Zolita 18750 47 67 47 3 GASLIGHT - Travis 23500 48 53 48 3 PASSION FLOWER - PNAU 30150 49 52 49 5 NO ANGELS - Justin Timberlake 45500 50 42 23 10 END OF BEGINNING - DJO 145350 51 38 22 8 BEEN LIKE THIS - Meghan Trainor & T-Pain 129200 52 54 52 6 HEY YOU - Feeder 56800 53 43 26 8 LOVE ON - Selena Gomez 121850 54 59 54 6 HEAVY RAIN - Richard Hawley 49300 55 39 39 6 HUNGRY HEART - Declan J Donovan 73850 56 69 56 3 AUSTIN - Dasha 22400 57 41 33 6 TEARDROPS - Liam Payne 80000 58 76 58 2 A NEW BOHEMIA - Pet Shop Boys 15000 59 71 59 3 I LIKE THE WAY YOU KISS ME - Artemas 20900 60 73 60 2 THE SCHLAGER HIT PARADE - Pet Shop Boys 15400 61 68 61 3 NOTHING TO DO - Kings Of Leon 19700 62 48 1 16 BURNING IN FLAMES - Kaiser Chiefs 835700 63 64 63 4 TEENAGE SUMMER - Crowded House 26200 64 49 1 15 BLAME YOU - Nero featuring Alana Watson 893400 65 65 65 4 ILLUSION - Dua Lipa 25200 66 78 66 2 RUN YOUR MOUTH - The Marias 11200 67 75 67 3 FORTNIGHT - Taylor Swift featuring Post Malone 16400 68 NEW 68 1 UNFORGETTABLE - Marcus & Martinus 6400 69 NEW 69 1 HONEY BOY - Purple Disco Machine & Benjamin Ingrosso featuring Nile Rodgers & Shenseea 6200 70 NEW 70 1 SET MY HEART ON FIRE (I’M ON FIRE X AND THE BEAT GOES ON) - Majestic x The Jammin’ Kid x Celine Dion x The Whispers 6000 71 77 71 3 FALLING DEEP - Will Young 15000 72 NEW 72 1 LOOP - Sarah Bonnici 5600 73 55 15 11 SATURN - SZA 192450 74 NEW 74 1 PETER GUNN - Art Of Noise featuring Duane Eddy 5200 75 85 75 2 LOVE IS THE LAW - Pet Shop Boys 8000 76 63 19 11 GIMME SOME KINDA SIGN - UB40 featuring Gilly G 150350 77 79 77 3 AMERICAN BOYS - Don McLean & Home Free 13000 78 NEW 78 1 GO HOME W U - Keith Urban with Lainey Wilson 4400 79 83 79 2 I’M YOURS - Alessia Cara 7600 80 80 80 3 TWO EYES STREAMING - Marty Wilde featuring Roxanne Wilde 12000 81 56 20 11 ILLUSIONS - Jalen Ngonda 154000 82 NEW 82 1 DARK VACAY - Cigarettes After Sex 3600 83 72 60 6 PANORAMIC VIEW - AWOLNATION 44600 84 NEW 84 1 UNSURE - Alan Walker featuring Kylie Cantrall 3200 85 NEW 85 1 BECAUSE THEY’RE YOUNG - Duane Eddy 3000 DROP OUTS 46 10 11 THERE’S NO ME...WITHOUT YOU - Glen Campbell & Carole King 257050 58 26 8 KISSING STRANGERS - Usher 119000 61 10 13 TURN THE LIGHTS BACK ON - Billy Joel 315550 62 8 11 LET IT RIDE - Paloma Faith 289100 66 46 6 LEGENDARY - Bon Jovi 55700 74 74 3 FEBRUARY SKY - Ringo Starr 14600 81 47 7 OUR WORLD - James 57500 82 69 4 ELVIS I LOVE YOU - Albin Lee Meldau 19000 84 65 6 WHAT’S WRONG WITH THE WORLD? - Fairground Attraction 32800

If I''m forced to hear Lose Control by Teddy Swims one more time I may have to end up being arrested (yes I did quite like it at first. Not any more! :lol: ) Fantastic chart as always :wub:
May 13, 20241 yr Hey John! A great climb for good luck babe and very well deserved. What a bop! It's definitely started strongly here. We can't be friends on its way down like you said. A damn shame is what that is lol. Austin to keep doing please. It's such a bop! I bet it's growing on you already! Fortnight to also keep going. It is definitely a grower of a track and the video is suitable great. Nice chart this week ^_^

Thanks for the picks :cheer: Ya Ya sounds like it is introducing part 2 of the album - Nancy Sinatra is thrilled she used the Boots sample, which is lovely for her to see it still being relevant, glad you like it! Yes you were right to be unsure about Dizzy - looked like we were left-hand side of the scoreboard for about 10 minutes there. Sounds like folk weren't happy with the Boxing theme for the public vote :o The Schlager song I think is based on being and about in Berlin when they recorded it, but I hear Schlager music all the time in German bars in Gran canaria when I'm on holiday. Loads of live singers and beer n singalongs and sedate dancing - usually older folk. :D Alessia was a good track, you've been on a BJSC roll of late I think, one goodie after another! :yahoo: Thanks as always!

My work, after 4 whole years, have finally discovered the invention of the radio. Unfortunately, it appears to be stuck on Heart. And the same 15 songs over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. If I''m forced to hear Lose Control by Teddy Swims one more time I may have to end up being arrested (yes I did quite like it at first. Not any more! :lol: ) Fantastic chart as always :wub: Hi AH! :) Thanks as ever for the picks! Radio at work can be a sweet n sour experience, it's great to have music but yes after a while you get to hate some records, I still have fond memories of a hosiery workhouse in the summer of '79. They had Radio 1 on all day, but in the end you get to know some records backwards and start frothing at the mouth :lol: Poor you, Heart FM!! I don't have much tolerance for hearing the same track too often (3 or 4 times a week is enough on new tracks!) even ones I love. Glad you like Kasabian, I think it's their best record and they need to properly promote it to Radio 2 :wub: Yes, sadly Pet Shop Boys will never chart again without a big name collab I expect, in the singles chart. Still, Beatles, Stones, Madonna and Kylie prove it can still be done....! Thanks for the BJSC congrats :) Did better than I expected TBH! Ooh you like Schlager best? It does seem quite popular, but maybe I've OD'd on actual Schlager music too much when on holiday :lol: Hope all is fab, give or take Teddy Swims :lol: :wub:
May 17, 20241 yr Author Hey John! A great climb for good luck babe and very well deserved. What a bop! It's definitely started strongly here. We can't be friends on its way down like you said. A damn shame is what that is lol. Austin to keep doing please. It's such a bop! I bet it's growing on you already! Fortnight to also keep going. It is definitely a grower of a track and the video is suitable great. Nice chart this week ^_^ Hey James! :) Hope all is fab right now! Good Luck Babe is more of a grower than her 2 previous pop boppers, but it's getting there :dance: Poor Ariana, always underperforms in my charts compared to the UK charts (except her Weekend duet which topped my chart and not the UK's) :lol: Austin is still growing , there's just so many records going up, my chart is stuffed to overflowing :o :lol: I keep meaning to play that Cyril Fortnight remix, the original version is quite low-key and its struggling a bit with other in-ya-face tracks leapfrogging poor ol taylor! Thanks for the comments! B-)
