Posted October 11, 2024Oct 11 6th October 2024 It's 2 weeks on top for The Fizz, one more week than it managed in 2017, in a mostly quiet chart bar the sheer number of tracks I'm loving at the mo. Kylie gets a 3rd top 10 inside 8 weeks as Lights Camera Action continues to notch up her total of top 10's. I havent got a complete list of charting years for either act yet (93, 95-97 are missing), but Madonna is on at least 54 top 10's, and Kylie is on at least 56, so I'm willing to posit that Kylie has now overtaken Her Madgeness as the most successful female artist in my charts of all time in 2024. Haircut 100 meanwhile get their first top 10 in 42 years and their 5th in total, but Nick Heyward has another 2 or 3 solo top 10's as well. There's a couple more classic oldies popping into the UK sales 100, so I'm re-charting the 1990 fabness that is Dirty Cash, which went top 5 for Adventures Of Stevie V, and Robyn's fab 2007 chart-topper with Kleerup, With Every Heartbeat. Not sure why either is selling again! Tears For Fears chart another new track to join their great current top 10 single, Astronaut at 94 being another new track from a forthcoming compilation album (I think). Tom Grennan is back with a bomping new track, Higher being at least his 6th in 4 years not counting collabs, while Zedd has been charting since 2013, is on his 5th with an unexpected team-up with Muse on a lyrics-added version of Johanne Sebastian Bach's 1685 dance remix of Prelude In C Major with added Ave Maria. It's quite ambitious but fits in with Muse's very rock-classical-based back catalogue. 24 years into their career, I make that around 30 "hits" in my charts. Meanwhile Teddy Swims makes it 3 in a row, and UK chart hit Move finally breaks into the top 100 for Adam Port & friends. 1 1 1 2 AMEN - The Fizz 340000 2 3 1 5 NEVER GOING HOME TONIGHT - David Guetta & Alesso featuring Madison Love 391850 3 2 2 5 HEART LIKE MINE - Sam Feldt featuring Rosa Linn 334000 4 4 2 6 BABY I NEED YOUR LOVING - The Four Tops 311250 5 5 3 4 LOOKING THROUGH THE WINDOWS - The Jackson 5 270000 6 8 6 5 THE GIRL THAT I CALL HOME - Tears For Fears 131900 7 16 7 2 LIGHTS CAMERA ACTION - Kylie Minogue 75000 8 6 1 11 SATURN RETURN - Reve 1102550 9 11 9 6 THE UNLOVING PLUM - Haircut 100 135750 10 14 7 10 WAITING FOR THE CATCH - Shed Seven featuring Issy Ferris 279550 11 7 7 10 BELIEVER - Freemasons featuring Wynter Gordon 221450 12 21 12 7 BLOOM - Good Neighbours 126950 13 9 9 8 TRAIL OF DESTRUCTION - Kim Wilde 276100 14 10 8 9 CRY BABY - Clean Bandit, Anne-Marie & David Guetta 302650 15 13 9 9 LIFETIMES - Katy Perry 248850 16 12 5 9 EDGE OF SATURDAY NIGHT - The Blessed Madonna & Kylie Minogue 364800 17 19 4 24 FEEL - Pet Shop Boys 779300 18 18 1 12 I’LL BE SEEING YOU - Jimmy Durante 882000 19 15 13 9 THE FEELING YOU GET - Empire Of The Sun 198400 20 31 20 4 DADDY KEEPS CALLING - Kaleena Zanders & Tchami 66200 21 30 21 6 FREEFALL - HAYLA 75350 22 17 10 8 DIE WITH A SMILE - Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars 212000 23 23 23 10 I ADORE YOU - HUGEL, Topic & Arash featuring Daecolm 139850 24 24 24 8 EVERYBODY WILL DANCE - Pet Shop Boys 133450 25 38 25 4 NEVER CAN SAY GOODBYE - The Jackson 5 52350 26 37 26 6 WALK AWAY RENEE - The Four Tops 76800 27 28 27 6 LET’S GO BACK - Jungle 90000 28 42 28 4 NEW MOON (DARK PHASE) - Duran Duran 48850 29 41 29 2 DELIRIOUS (EXTENDED) - Leftwing : Kody & Raphi 32200 30 20 16 9 NOBODY’S SOLDIER - Hozier 139300 31 22 1 6 BEACH BABY - The First Class 369400 32 26 1 6 BERNADETTE - The Four Tops 376300 33 33 33 6 PIYA PIYA CALLING - Karpe, Kaifi Khalil & Delara featuring The Quick Style 93850 34 29 4 11 HIGH IN LOW PLACES - Beach Weather 329300 35 52 35 3 YOU AGAIN - The Lottery Winners featuring Reverend And The Makers 35400 36 27 9 11 ON THE GAME - The Black Keys 259300 37 25 2 6 SIMPLE GAME - The Four Tops 309050 38 43 38 10 DIRTY LITTLE SECRET - Artemas 109200 39 34 4 18 BIRDS OF A FEATHER - Billie Eilish 551400 40 40 19 13 BLACK FRIDAY (PRETTY LIKE THE SUN) - Lost Frequencies & Tom Odell 212750 41 50 41 10 WILDFLOWER - Billie Eilish 89200 42 54 42 3 STAY WITH ME - Blue Mink 30950 43 32 24 9 BRIGHT LIGHTS - The Killers 145400 44 35 8 11 STARBURSTER - Fontaines D.C. 261100 45 39 17 5 HALO - Texas 90500 46 45 4 17 BARCELONA - Alan Walker & Ina Wroldsen 492200 47 46 8 16 PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE - Sabrina Carpenter 383000 48 36 3 13 MY OH MY - Kylie Minogue with Bebe Rexha & Tove Lo 414450 49 49 1 24 NEW LONDON BOY - Pet Shop Boys 2462300 50 47 3 24 CLOSER - Ben Hemsley featuring Chenai 1285300 51 59 51 3 RANDY - Blue Mink 26450 52 63 52 2 THE LIGHTHOUSE - Stevie Nicks 18700 53 48 47 7 OOH CHILD - Levitation Room 78950 54 55 54 7 SAILOR SONG - Gigi Perez 64700 55 58 55 6 FLASHBACK - ASDIS 42100 56 57 56 4 DANCING IN THE FLAMES - The Weeknd 31400 57 61 57 3 ALL MY LIFE - Purple Disco Machine & The Magician 23100 58 60 58 3 FOREVER - HUGEL & Diplo featuring Malou & Yuna 24000 59 68 59 2 SAFETY NET - Bea and her Business 16500 60 70 60 3 BURNING DOWN - Alex Warren 18600 61 69 61 2 SECONDS TO MIDNIGHT (11:59) - Cassie Henderson 13700 62 62 62 6 LIKE YOU DO - Talk in waves aka The Frontier 40100 63 44 30 9 CARRY YOU HOME - Alex Warren featuring Ella Henderson 123600 64 53 7 22 FOREVER - Loreen 483450 65 67 65 6 STANDING IN THE SHADOWS OF LOVE - The Four Tops 30800 66 56 3 11 NOWHERE TO GO - Tinlicker featuring Brian Molko 387000 67 79 67 3 OUR WORLD - Blue Mink 13000 68 65 1 26 COMING BACK TO ME GOOD - Kasabian 1339700 69 73 5 25 ESPRESSO - Sabrina Carpenter 682650 70 86 70 3 HOW LONG (2024 VERSION) - Paul Carrack 11600 71 74 71 4 PERFECT ME - Blossoms 17800 72 78 72 4 ECLIPSE TOTAL - Javiera Mena 16600 73 51 26 13 ENDLESSLY - Camelphat & Nadia Ali 183550 74 66 1 26 GOOD MOURNING - Shaznay Lewis featuring Shola Ama & General Levy 1297850 75 76 75 2 STARS WILL ALIGN - Kygo & Imagine Dragons 9800 76 64 6 18 IT’S NOT A CRIME - Pet Shop Boys 493300 77 71 71 6 AIN’T NO WOMAN (LIKE THE ONE I’VE GOT) - The Four Tops 26600 78 77 6 25 GOOD LUCK, BABE!

October 12, 2024Oct 12 Amen is head and shoulders above anything else The Fizz have done. It was well recognised at the time as being a decent song, but it was obviously never going to do well commercially. Good to see some love for it and it sitting pretty at your #1.

Could grow on me at some point I guess? Love the wee rebound for espresso. Amazing song. ^_^ " Cry baby didn't really grab me for too long unfortunately and I'm currently not listening to it at all. Loving lifetimes at the moment 🎉🎉 Lights camera action is pretty decent for sure but it is my least favourite of Kylie's singles since tension. " Hey james! :) Hope all is fab! I copied your extra comments over here :lol: Doing OK, ta, just hectic pace as always - back from London and off to Florida on Sunday for 2 weeks. Phew! I'm already exhausted thinking about it! Cry Baby's on the decline for me, Kylie now top 5, it sounds great played loud :lol: It's not so much a song as a series of dance riffs. Espresso stays fresh even after 6 months. I'm expecting to hear it on Orlando radio next week in the car drive to the theme parks - but I may be wrong! :o :lol: Thanks for the comments! B-)

Hi Chris, thanks for commenting about The Fizz, and I agree it's their greatest Fizz track, a beautifully constructed song and under-rated at the time, they were never going to beat the pre-conceptions but if a bigger name had covered Amen I'm sure it would have been a hit. cheers!

Bad Dreams is your avatar? Ah, if only I had the IT skills to do stuff like that on BJ :lol: Robyn's is a great classic oldie that topped my chart back then - though I'm not sure why it's charting all over again! thanks for all the picks and comments! I'll be a couple of thousand miles nearer to you next week (Orlando theme parks) so it's going to be interesting to see how local radio has changed. I can remember when oldies radio was 60's/70's so I expect it'll be 90's/00's now :lol: B-)
