Posted August 22, 2024Aug 22 18th August 2024 It's 2 weeks on top for Reve's Saturn Return, running rings (arf!) around Jimmy Durante at 2. Fontaines D.C. climb bigly to 11 with Starburster to keep the astronomical theme running, and in a quiet week for new entries Kim Wilde gets the highest at 49 with Trail Of Destruction as played on radio 2 today and sounding very 1986-era dance-diva Kim, which is great to hear, to extend her run of chart entries to 43 years, with number ones from me, the USA (You Keep Me Hangin' On) and several European countries (Cambodia) but never a UK chart-topper, doh! Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars team-up for a pretty good ballad at 50, and he seems to have lost his solo-career self confidence, his recent releases have been with Anderson .Paak and others, it's been 7 years and counting since his last charted solo track in my charts, in 14 years of charting, including 2 number ones with Marry You and Grenade, plus one with Mark Ronson (you know which one!). Gaga has also been partner swapping a bit, and hasn't had a solo entry for 4 years, but her 15-year career includes 3 number ones in Just dance, Pokerface and Bad Romance, plus one with Beyonce, Telephone. Hozier follows-up Too Sweet and Pet Shops Boys drop their 4th single off Nonetheless and it's Feel - still charting and back up (to 27) while two B sides debut, the dance-track, Everybody Will Dance, and the Chris Lowe-sung (yes, it's been 40 years waiting, and it's here) German language version of their album Schlager song, Chris' singing voice is better than mine, though that's not necessarily a compliment, as it's a low-bar and I reckon this song is about my level to try not to ruin - albeit English language version - as it's not as demanding as some. 1 1 1 4 SATURN RETURN - Reve 369550 2 2 1 5 I’LL BE SEEING YOU - Jimmy Durante 508000 3 3 3 4 NOWHERE TO GO - Tinlicker featuring Brian Molko 235800 4 4 4 9 INTO GOLD - London Grammar 304450 5 10 5 6 MY OH MY - Kylie Minogue with Bebe Rexha & Tove Lo 151000 6 5 1 5 ANGEL OF THE MORNING - Juice Newton 435000 7 6 1 17 NEW LONDON BOY - Pet Shop Boys 2340000 8 8 3 17 CLOSER - Ben Hemsley featuring Chenai 1156000 9 7 7 15 FOREVER - Loreen 363400 10 11 10 4 HIGH IN LOW PLACES - Beach Weather 109500 11 34 11 4 STARBURSTER - Fontaines D.C. 74350 12 9 4 10 BARCELONA - Alan Walker & Ina Wroldsen 368600 13 18 13 4 ON THE GAME - The Black Keys 84500 14 13 6 11 IT’S NOT A CRIME - Pet Shop Boys 402000 15 17 15 9 SLOW IT DOWN - Benson Boone 153250 16 14 7 11 LOST IN SPACE - Foster The People 314250 17 16 1 19 COMING BACK TO ME GOOD - Kasabian 1255000 18 33 18 4 LIKE A PRAYER (BATTLE ROYALE MIX) - Madonna 49900 19 32 19 2 EDGE OF SATURDAY NIGHT - The Blessed Madonna & Kylie Minogue 37800 20 20 20 5 SMILE - Martin Garrix featuring Carolina Liar 82250 21 31 21 2 CRY BABY - Clean Bandit, Anne-Marie & David Guetta 36650 22 12 4 11 BIRDS OF A FEATHER - Billie Eilish 424400 23 21 19 7 I’VE GOT PLANS (INVOLVING YOU) - Pet Shop Boys 127000 24 19 8 9 PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE - Sabrina Carpenter 283000 25 27 25 6 BLACK FRIDAY (PRETTY LIKE THE SUN) - Lost Frequencies & Tom Odell 82400 26 26 26 8 THESE WALLS - Dua Lipa 102700 27 29 4 17 FEEL - Pet Shop Boys 619800 28 23 5 18 ESPRESSO - Sabrina Carpenter 613700 29 25 6 18 GOOD LUCK, BABE!

August 22, 2024Aug 22 Hi John! Nice to see "My Oh My" in the top 5, the big gains for "Starburster", "Like A Prayer", "Edge Of Saturday Night", "Cry Baby", "Lifetimes", "Bright Lights" and "I Adore You" and the debuts for "Die With A Smile" and "Nobody's Soldier". Great chart! Take care.
August 23, 2024Aug 23 Hey John! My oh my up to #5 *.* I'm shook. A good climb for cry baby! And re what you replied on your last chart, well that makes complete sense then that their sound sounds so similar to their older stuff. Espresso has done phenomenally well here. Glad to see it. It's still loving for me. A great climb for lifetimes. I'm really enjoying this one. Nice chart ^_^

Yes, also, it's great to see Chappell Roan catch on commercially, it's quite refreshing seeing a BJ favourite break-out to the big time, especially one that's a bit different from the usual pop style. Ah, I love me sci-fi/fantasy/superhero movies so a quick summary is p'easy for me :lol: The Time Variant Authority kidnaps Deadpool at his birthday bash of loved ones to force him to work for them and stop his universe (The Fox X-men-verse) from getting wiped out from existence. So he escapes, leaps forward in time to find Wolverine, who is long-dead, and uses his adamantium invulnerable skeleton body parts to slice the TVA soldiers to shreds to the tune of Bye Bye Bye. That may sound convoluted as a plotline but it's about 10 minutes of film, hilarious and bloody, and the song works SO well :lol: Die With A Smile is a great comeback for both acts, one day they might even drop a classic solo track each, but I won;t hold my breath it's been so long already.... :lol: thanks for the picks and comments! B-)
