Posted September 6, 2024Sep 6 1st September 2024 It's straight in on top for Beach Baby, a 1974 number 2 for me from the British songwriting/producing team that brought us The Flowerpot Men's Let's Go To San Francisco in 1967, which is why they can fade out to that tune without paying royalties. It was also the last hit to feature multi-group frontman Tony Burrows on lead, having topped my charts with Love Grows in 1970. It's a surf nostalgia mini-masterpiece which conquered America. It just edges out Reve from the top spot, and also a Four Tops invasion - I just found out the last surviving member died last month, just ahead of their appearance in Bournemouth on tour. I saw the original line-up in 1989, and they were as fabulous as you could hope with a massive back catalogue like theirs. Duke Fakir kept the band going in latter years, and died at age 88. So, reappearing at 3 is Bernadette, a 1967 fave that was a hit again in 1972 (when I bought it, and it topped my chart), so this is it's 3rd chart run, but I wasnt doing charts in 1967, but obv it would have charted if I had been. Simple Game topped my charts in 1971, I loved that dramatic Moody Blues cover, no-one could emote like the timeless Levi Stubbs, give or take Roy Orbison and Gene Pitney. Back at 8, as the never-charted 60's classic Baby I Need Your Lovin' debuts at 47, oldies chart-topper Walk Away Renee returns at 73 57 years after it would have topped my coulda-been charts, and two more debut lower down for 1973's Ain't No Woman, and 1967's Standing In The Shadows Of Love, and their most-famous smash also pops in, Reach Out I'll Be There has previously peaked at 2. Shed Seven climb into the top 10 for the first time since 1999's Disco Down, 25 years it's been, and this is their best single in that time, as good as the old classics and playlisted on Radio 2. The chart is expanded to 90, with an invasion of new tracks as well as oldies - the highest new one being Piya Piya Calling from a group of debutantes at 53, headed by Karpe, loving the sounds and melody, I'm not sure if it was recorded in Pakistan but it might be. Jungle return at 69 with their first new material since album Volcano exploded last year, the new one Let's Go Back could easily fit onto that fab album. Sabrina Carpenter drops a new album, and Coincidence is my choice of third track of 2024 to chart - the public says not, though. Travis get a 5th charted track from their album, Manic Street Preachers return after a gap of 3 years to extend their chart career to 30 years, Twenty One Pilots get a 4th entry over 8 years, JVKE makes it 3 over 2 years, Jesus & Mary Chain extend their recent comeback with a second track, Public Service Broadcasting get a 4th over 9 years, ASDIS is on a follow-up to the previous collab chart-topper, Rizzle Kicks are back after being MIA for a decade, to extend their run to 13 years, Jack White drops another solo entry to extend his White-Stripe beginnings to 23 years. Finally Nick Heyward is back with Haircut 100 for a tour, and they've done a new record for the first time in 42 years!! Their chart career was basically 12 months before Nick went for the solo career, which lasted until the mid-90's, though he's been touring he hasn't charted for almost 30 years. 1 NEW 1 1 BEACH BABY - The First Class 170000 2 1 1 6 SATURN RETURN - Reve 654550 3 NEW 3 1 BERNADETTE - The Four Tops 85000 4 3 3 8 MY OH MY - Kylie Minogue with Bebe Rexha & Tove Lo 301000 5 2 1 7 I’LL BE SEEING YOU - Jimmy Durante 683000 6 10 6 4 EDGE OF SATURDAY NIGHT - The Blessed Madonna & Kylie Minogue 134800 7 4 4 6 HIGH IN LOW PLACES - Beach Weather 224500 8 NEW 8 1 SIMPLE GAME - The Four Tops 48000 9 30 9 5 WAITING FOR THE CATCH - Shed Seven featuring Issy Ferris 101550 10 8 8 6 STARBURSTER - Fontaines D.C. 164350 11 15 11 4 CRY BABY - Clean Bandit, Anne-Marie & David Guetta 100650 12 20 12 3 TRAIL OF DESTRUCTION - Kim Wilde 67100 13 9 9 6 ON THE GAME - The Black Keys 161500 14 19 4 19 FEEL - Pet Shop Boys 669800 15 21 15 4 LIFETIMES - Katy Perry 70850 16 27 16 4 THE FEELING YOU GET - Empire Of The Sun 68400 17 26 17 3 DIE WITH A SMILE - Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars 53500 18 5 3 6 NOWHERE TO GO - Tinlicker featuring Brian Molko 317800 19 7 4 11 INTO GOLD - London Grammar 375450 20 14 1 19 NEW LONDON BOY - Pet Shop Boys 2389000 21 25 21 8 BLACK FRIDAY (PRETTY LIKE THE SUN) - Lost Frequencies & Tom Odell 120900 22 12 7 17 FOREVER - Loreen 417900 23 11 3 19 CLOSER - Ben Hemsley featuring Chenai 1212250 24 22 4 13 BIRDS OF A FEATHER - Billie Eilish 462900 25 13 4 12 BARCELONA - Alan Walker & Ina Wroldsen 419350 26 62 26 4 NOBODY’S SOLDIER - Hozier 30300 27 28 27 8 ENDLESSLY - Camelphat & Nadia Ali 113200 28 29 28 4 BRIGHT LIGHTS - The Killers 57850 29 33 29 5 BELIEVER - Freemasons featuring Wynter Gordon 65100 30 18 18 7 SMILE - Martin Garrix featuring Carolina Liar 122250 31 6 1 7 ANGEL OF THE MORNING - Juice Newton 507900 32 23 6 13 IT’S NOT A CRIME - Pet Shop Boys 439050 33 39 33 3 EVERYBODY WILL DANCE - Pet Shop Boys 39400 34 36 34 8 DEATH VALLEY HIGH - Orville Peck & Beck 101600 35 16 15 11 SLOW IT DOWN - Benson Boone 195750 36 24 1 21 COMING BACK TO ME GOOD - Kasabian 1291400 37 57 37 5 ES VEDRA - Armin van Buuren 43200 38 56 38 4 FLOATING PARADE - Michael Kiwanuka 38600 39 49 39 4 CARRY YOU HOME - Alex Warren featuring Ella Henderson 49950 40 31 8 11 PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE - Sabrina Carpenter 318900 41 42 41 5 I ADORE YOU - HUGEL, Topic & Arash featuring Daecolm 47650 42 38 5 20 ESPRESSO - Sabrina Carpenter 644650 43 48 43 7 I WANNA BE LOVED (JUST A LITTLE BETTER) - Alison Goldfrapp 51000 44 32 1 21 GOOD MOURNING - Shaznay Lewis featuring Shola Ama & General Levy 1251150 45 34 7 13 LOST IN SPACE - Foster The People 344850 46 47 46 4 ANGEL OF SATISFACTION - Rose Gray 39850 47 NEW 47 1 BABY I NEED YOUR LOVING - The Four Tops 12500 48 40 12 13 FIND A WAY - Vintage Culture 291300 49 63 49 2 OOH CHILD - Levitation Room 19300 50 59 50 2 BLOOM - Good Neighbours 22100 51 45 15 11 LIFE’S A SHOCKING MIRACLE - James 164850 52 60 52 5 DIRTY LITTLE SECRET - Artemas 36400 53 NEW 53 1 PIYA PIYA CALLING - Karpe, Kaifi Khalil & Delara featuring The Quick Style 11250 54 35 19 9 I’VE GOT PLANS (INVOLVING YOU) - Pet Shop Boys 155550 55 43 37 7 DARKEST LULLABY - Kasabian 75400 56 44 6 20 GOOD LUCK, BABE!

Duke kept touring too after the other 3 died. I expect the current version touring will be the replacement members unless they call it a day. Cheers! B-)

You have my sympathies, and I know all about ageing body syndrome - in my case getting out breath with any exercise, aches, pains that never go away and realising that doing a pathetic 9 sit ups and 4 press ups has left me aching all over today after sitting in front of a laptop for years since covid hit and I stopped going to the gymn. :o B-) Back To The Future features the famous songs from the first film, but specially written plot-driven songs too - they arent that memorable but they get the mood right and the special effects are pretty good. Thanks for the Beach baby wishes - in the end it managed bottom 5, which wasn't a surprise, I'd thought about 32nd might be about right, but in the event it did ended even lower, oops! Kim didn't do Cambodia?! That's a surprise, it's her biggest European hit and probably her greatest single from a critical point of view - albeit maybe too downbeat for a happy clappy greatest hits set. Shame about Bruno Gaga getting overplayed, I'm hearing it not too much (and mostly on my own car CD/ipod) so still sounds fresh and it strikes me, the first real classic-style soul ballad in a very long time to make the top 40. The "Soul" sound died a long time ago, bar the occasional bluesy-version of it :o Believer an all-time top 10!! Freemasons have 2 in my all-time top 1000, both fairly middlingly-placed, but this one I missed entirely. Glad Good Luck babe finally clicked with you, the song is actually beautifully constructed, and she sings like she lived the lyrics, I have no doubts its a future 2020's classic that will stand the test of time. Like A Prayer peaked at 2 behind The Monkees re-issue, mostly because my grandma was seriously ill and died around that time, and I couldnt bear listening to anything that reminded me of her passing away, and that one did, so did Eternal Flame. Thanks for the picks and chit chat comments as ever :wub: B-)
