Posted May 17, 20241 yr 12th May 2024 It's 2 weeks on top for Pet Shop Boys gorgeous New London Boy, the first time they've done that since Burn topped my charts. Still picking the wrong album tracks as singles then.... :D Plenty others still climbing though from Nonetheless. Cat Burns grabs another top 10, but the big event of the week was Eurovision, lots of good entries but not as many great entries as the last few years, I thought. My highest new entry is from a guest spot from Alcazar reforming with their 2001 chart-topper Crying At The Discoteque at 17. Sweden's Marcus & Martinus top the new tracks and is the biggest climber at 21, Switzerland's winning The Code is new at 31 for Nemo, Spain's disco ZORRA is in at 44 for Nebulossa, last year's winner Loreen topped my charts, and she returns with new track plugged Forever at 71, and Kaleen and Tali new in at 83 and 84. When I was nipper my fave pop star for a while was Kathy Kirby, but by the time I started doing personal charts in 1968 her career was long over. I rediscovered a classic dramatic gem in You're The One this week, so she gets her first ever chart appearance 60 years' late, though she would likely have had a number one with Spanish Flea which I was mad on at the time. Finally, Travis get a second track on the chart as they go top 40 with Gaslight, it's Raze The Bar at 78 with a not-name-dropping none-credit from Chris Martin and Brandon Flowers joining in. Missing a real boost there, so I've credited them, just because. 1 1 1 3 NEW LONDON BOY - Pet Shop Boys 425000 2 2 1 5 GOOD MOURNING - Shaznay Lewis featuring Shola Ama & General Levy 612000 3 3 3 3 CLOSER - Ben Hemsley featuring Chenai 225000 4 4 4 5 COMING BACK TO ME GOOD - Kasabian 287000 5 5 5 3 FEEL - Pet Shop Boys 130400 6 12 6 3 WHY AM I DANCING? - Pet Shop Boys 122000 7 7 1 8 ECSTASY - Rose Gray 785000 8 8 5 7 DARK DAYS - Moby & Lady Blackbird 298250 9 10 7 8 BABY WHEN YOU GO - Girls Aloud 309500 10 13 10 5 ALONE - Cat Burns 126850 11 6 1 7 DANCING STAR - Pet Shop Boys 587000 12 11 10 8 HUMAN - Lenny Kravitz 248200 13 9 9 4 TEAR YOU APART - She Wants Revenge 154400 14 20 14 4 GOOD LUCK, BABE - Chappell Roan 72700 15 15 15 4 HELLO LONELY - Alfie Templeman 77500 16 19 16 4 ESPRESSO - Sabrina Carpenter 78400 17 NEW 17 1 CRYING AT THE DISCOTEQUE - Alcazar 23000 18 24 18 5 FEELING GOOD - Hypaton x David Guetta 88550 19 21 19 3 THE SECRET OF HAPPINESS - Pet Shop Boys 58950 20 22 20 14 I’LL BE AROUND - The Detroit Spinners 220650 21 68 21 2 UNFORGETTABLE - Marcus & Martinus 26150 22 18 18 7 CHANGES - Empire Of The Sun 122700 23 16 16 7 HOMETOWN OF JUPITER - The Vaccines 135800 24 14 1 13 CARRY YOU - Martin Garrix, Third=Party & Oaks featuring Declan J Donovan 1023000 25 17 10 7 UNDECIDED - RONDE 206150 26 30 26 14 COULD IT BE I’M FALLING IN LOVE - The Detroit Spinners 197200 27 34 27 6 RISE UP SINGING - Paul Weller 65150 28 28 28 6 LOTTA LOVE - Rozalla 88500 29 32 29 5 ELECTRIC - Darin 70600 30 35 30 6 HERE TO STAY - Jalen Ngonda 72750 31 NEW 31 1 THE CODE - Nemo 17900 32 40 32 3 BULLET FOR NARCISSUS - Pet Shop Boys 44800 33 25 6 9 HOME - Good Neighbours 286600 34 23 2 11 RIDE - Mia Rodriguez 525350 35 29 1 15 HOLD ON HOPE - Glen Campbell & Eric Church 892450 36 26 2 14 CRAZY LOVE - Above & Beyond featuring Zoe Johnston 554500 37 27 18 8 BEFORE YOU GO - Seeb 145700 38 46 38 3 SMALL TOWN SCANDAL - Zolita 35950 39 33 9 7 LET ME LIVE/ LET ME DIE - Des Rocs 195050 40 47 40 4 GASLIGHT - Travis 40500 41 31 26 8 TOO SWEET - Hozier 111900 42 36 36 7 YA YA - Beyonce 93850 43 37 8 11 LIGHTER - Galantis, David Guetta & 5 Seconds Of Summer 330700 44 NEW 44 1 ZORRA - Nebulossa 13250 45 48 45 4 PASSION FLOWER - PNAU 43150 46 78 46 2 GO HOME W U - Keith Urban with Lainey Wilson 17150 47 NEW 47 1 YOU’RE THE ONE - Kathy Kirby 12500 48 38 6 13 TRAINING SEASON - Dua Lipa 406000 49 49 49 6 NO ANGELS - Justin Timberlake 57600 50 41 16 11 DIZZY - Olly Alexander 171300 51 45 28 7 YOU AND ME - Take That 100350 52 58 52 3 A NEW BOHEMIA - Pet Shop Boys 26500 53 39 39 7 TIME - Eels 77500 54 56 54 4 AUSTIN - Dasha 33400 55 43 43 6 SENSE OF TIME - Pet Shop Boys 55300 56 44 32 9 WE CAN’T BE FRIENDS (WAIT FOR YOUR LOVE) - Ariana Grande 124050 57 59 57 4 I LIKE THE WAY YOU KISS ME - Artemas 31300 58 69 58 2 HONEY BOY - Purple Disco Machine & Benjamin Ingrosso featuring Nile Rodgers & Shenseea 16400 59 61 59 4 NOTHING TO DO - Kings Of Leon 29800 60 60 60 3 THE SCHLAGER HIT PARADE - Pet Shop Boys 25400 61 72 61 2 LOOP - Sarah Bonnici 13100 62 63 62 5 TEENAGE SUMMER - Crowded House 33600 63 42 42 6 PEOPLE ARE GOOD - Depeche Mode 53350 64 65 64 5 ILLUSION - Dua Lipa 32300 65 66 65 3 RUN YOUR MOUTH - The Marias 18200 66 52 52 7 HEY YOU - Feeder 63600 67 67 67 4 FORTNIGHT - Taylor Swift featuring Post Malone 23000 68 70 68 2 SET MY HEART ON FIRE (I’M ALIVE X AND THE BEAT GOES ON) - Majestic x The Jammin’ Kid x Celine Dion x The Whispers 12400 69 54 54 7 HEAVY RAIN - Richard Hawley 55500 70 71 70 4 FALLING DEEP - Will Young 21000 71 NEW 71 1 FOREVER - Loreen 5800 72 50 23 11 END OF BEGINNING - DJO 150950 73 79 73 3 I’M YOURS - Alessia Cara 13000 74 74 74 2 PETER GUNN - Art Of Noise featuring Duane Eddy 10400 75 75 75 3 LOVE IS THE LAW - Pet Shop Boys 13000 76 77 76 4 AMERICAN BOYS - Don McLean & Home Free 17800 77 64 1 16 BLAME YOU - Nero featuring Alana Watson 898000 78 NEW 78 1 RAZE THE BAR - Travis featuring Chris Martin & Brandon Flowers 4400 79 62 1 17 BURNING IN FLAMES - Kaiser Chiefs 839900 80 82 80 2 DARK VACAY - Cigarettes After Sex 7600 81 84 81 2 UNSURE - Alan Walker featuring Kylie Cantrall 7000 82 NEW 82 1 BEAUTIFUL THINGS - Benson Boone 3600 83 NEW 83 1 WE WILL RAVE - Kaleen 3400 84 NEW 84 1 FIGHTER - TALI 3200 85 85 85 2 BECAUSE THEY’RE YOUNG - Duane Eddy 6000 DROP OUTS 51 22 8 BEEN LIKE THIS - Meghan Trainor & T-Pain 129200 53 26 8 LOVE ON - Selena Gomez 121850 55 39 6 HUNGRY HEART - Declan J Donovan 73850 57 33 6 TEARDROPS - Liam Payne 80000 73 15 11 SATURN - SZA 192450 76 19 11 GIMME SOME KINDA SIGN - UB40 featuring Gilly G 150350 80 80 3 TWO EYES STREAMING - Marty Wilde featuring Roxanne Wilde 12000 81 20 11 ILLUSIONS - Jalen Ngonda 154000 83 60 6 PANORAMIC VIEW - AWOLNATION 44600
May 17, 20241 yr Hi John! Nice to see the big gain for "Unforgettable" and the debuts for "Crying At The Dicoteque", "The Code", "Forever", "Beautiful Things" and "We Will Rave". Great chart! Take care.
May 18, 20241 yr Hey John - your last chart was also dated 5th May! Big yes to 'Crying At The Discotheque', that sounded great during the interval!
May 18, 20241 yr Hey John, you need to get these late charts under control :P Good luck babe is superb isn't it. I'm intrigued to hear what she does next now despite my not charting this one yet. Too sweet unfortunately heading down a tad early. Hopefully it'll have a gracefully descent. Oooh, Austin still climbing, I can't complain despite it's slow rise here. The Schlager Hit parade is superb. I'm surprised it's not climbed or is higher for you so far. I'm loving illusion right now. It's brilliant. So much easier on the ears than the majority of the album. Come on fortnight, you got this. John, definitely listen to the remix I told you about cause that will improve the standing of it for you, I'm sure. Fab chart ^_^
May 18, 20241 yr Author Hey John - your last chart was also dated 5th May! Big yes to 'Crying At The Discotheque', that sounded great during the interval! OOps thanks Jordan, I'm losing control of my diary and my mind...! :o :lol:

Fab chart ^_^ Hey James! :) Yes Good Luck Babe is fab, still growing on me and very different from her last 2 pop stompers. Too Sweet still sounding good, but not dropped out yet :) Yes, everyone seems to love Schlager - where I merely like it quite a bit :lol: Illusion is hanging in there but the new album tracks Ive heard so far are not up to Future Nostalgia quality based on one play, sadly! Fortnight still sounding pleasant, playing the CYRIL remix now, yes it gives it a bit more oomph, though not sure if I like it more than the original, the laid-back version seems classy even if it's very wistfully gentle. cheers for the comments!
