Posted November 9, 2024Nov 9 3rd November 2024 It's a new number one from The Lottery Winners, as You Again also gives Reverend and The Makers a second chart-topper this decade, lush orchestration helps this fab track along nicely as I continue to be up half the night with jetlag from getting back from Florida. My body has never liked travelling eastwards around the globe and insists on taking at least two weeks to adjust. I planned to avoid the US elections in case the stuff hit the fan as election deniers decided to cause trouble from losing. Needn't have worried, the morons got the proof they wanted that US elections aren't fixed by voting in the one who's been lying about it for 4 years aided by a billionaire propaganda spreader illegally bribing people to vote, effectively. So, yes, You Again is as good as any title to celebrate America's descent away from democracy and reality. My chart is fairly static apart from that, a bit of upward movement here and there, Duran Duran returning Evil Woman (the song) to my top ten nearly 49 years on from topping it, and giving the band 43 years of top 10's and still fab. Biggest climber is Sophie Ellis-Bextor up to 31 for a 15th year of top 40 tracks, and highest new entry comes from Pet Shop Boys - my biggest track of 2024 is New London Boy, which speaks to me personally of early 70's Glam experiences to social backdrops (and presumably both Chris & Neil, who feature in vintage photos on the sleeve/video of the newly-released single this week) and obviously more specifically personal lyrics for them than usual. They do the sensible thing though, and make it a relevant double-A side with the Glamtastic David Bowie/Mott The Hoople song All The Young Dudes. Bowie wrote, produced and sang on it, so it might as well have been a duet in the billing, and it topped my charts as an oldie long after it first went top 3 for me in 1972. The single above has bonues tracks too, including the laid-back Beauty Has Laid Siege To The City which wouldnt be out of place on the Nonetheless album, and there is also another new entry from The Cure, leapfrogging Alone with A Fragile Thing, themes of loss also hit home to those of us of a certain age who have to try and learn to deal with the ongoing loss of loved ones, which gets exponentially more difficult to avoid as one gets older. Getting hit with occasional loss when you're young is hard, but not nearly as hard as multiple ongoing losses as you grow older, so The Cure's new album will remain ever-relevant to new generations, I expect. 1 6 1 6 YOU AGAIN - The Lottery Winners featuring Reverend And The Makers 353400 2 2 1 9 THE GIRL THAT I CALL HOME - Tears For Fears 616900 3 5 1 9 NEVER GOING HOME TONIGHT - David Guetta & Alesso featuring Madison Love 686850 4 3 1 9 HEART LIKE MINE - Sam Feldt featuring Rosa Linn 769000 5 7 4 6 LIGHTS CAMERA ACTION - Kylie Minogue 310000 6 4 1 6 AMEN - The Fizz 625000 7 1 1 8 LOOKING THROUGH THE WINDOWS - The Jackson 5 605000 8 8 8 10 WALK AWAY RENEE - The Four Tops 221300 9 9 9 7 NEVER CAN SAY GOODBYE - The Jackson 5 188350 10 34 10 5 EVIL WOMAN - Duran Duran 77900 11 10 2 10 BABY I NEED YOUR LOVING - The Four Tops 495250 12 13 12 7 STAY WITH ME - Blue Mink 129200 13 20 13 6 THE LIGHTHOUSE - Stevie Nicks 109200 14 14 9 11 BLOOM - Good Neighbours 271950 15 15 15 5 HIGHER - Tom Grennan 95700 16 16 16 7 ALL MY LIFE - Purple Disco Machine & The Magician 111500 17 12 1 15 SATURN RETURN - Reve 1250550 18 21 10 12 DIE WITH A SMILE - Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars 290550 19 18 7 14 WAITING FOR THE CATCH - Shed Seven featuring Issy Ferris 394550 20 11 4 28 FEEL - Pet Shop Boys 889300 21 17 9 10 THE UNLOVING PLUM - Haircut 100 250500 22 22 13 8 DADDY KEEPS CALLING - Kaleena Zanders & Tchami 157200 23 23 17 10 FREEFALL - HAYLA 156350 24 24 24 6 DELIRIOUS (EXTENDED) - Leftwing : Kody & Raphi 107950 25 27 25 14 WILDFLOWER - Billie Eilish 162250 26 28 26 7 FOREVER - HUGEL & Diplo featuring Malou & Yuna 95600 27 31 27 7 RANDY - Blue Mink 99150 28 33 28 7 OUR WORLD - Blue Mink 70350 29 19 13 8 NEW MOON (DARK PHASE) - Duran Duran 147100 30 32 30 5 DIRTY CASH - The Adventures Of Stevie V 62450 31 63 31 4 FREEDOM OF THE NIGHT - Sophie Ellis-Bextor 28300 32 29 1 16 I’LL BE SEEING YOU - Jimmy Durante 956250 33 36 33 7 BURNING DOWN - Alex Warren 83300 34 25 8 13 CRY BABY - Clean Bandit, Anne-Marie & David Guetta 379750 35 40 7 14 BELIEVER - Freemasons featuring Wynter Gordon 293900 36 30 9 13 LIFETIMES - Katy Perry 323550 37 35 29 14 DIRTY LITTLE SECRET - Artemas 180400 38 26 9 12 TRAIL OF DESTRUCTION - Kim Wilde 356550 39 49 39 6 STARS WILL ALIGN - Kygo & Imagine Dragons 58250 40 48 40 6 HEAVY IS THE CROWN - Linkin Park 51800 41 38 38 8 DANCING IN THE FLAMES - The Weeknd 89100 42 50 42 10 STANDING IN THE SHADOWS OF LOVE - The Four Tops 77600 43 68 43 2 LEFT TO MY OWN DEVICES - Pet Shop Boys 30100 44 39 27 10 LET’S GO BACK - Jungle 154750 45 46 45 6 SECONDS TO MIDNIGHT (11:59) - Cassie Henderson 53550 46 43 42 6 SAFETY NET - Bea and her Business 70250 47 47 4 22 BIRDS OF A FEATHER - Billie Eilish 603500 48 52 48 8 PERFECT ME - Blossoms 59400 49 37 24 12 EVERYBODY WILL DANCE - Pet Shop Boys 198550 50 41 5 13 EDGE OF SATURDAY NIGHT - The Blessed Madonna & Kylie Minogue 426000 51 44 23 14 I ADORE YOU - HUGEL, Topic & Arash featuring Daecolm 198850 52 45 13 13 THE FEELING YOU GET - Empire Of The Sun 257900 53 54 5 29 ESPRESSO - Sabrina Carpenter 717300 54 51 19 17 BLACK FRIDAY (PRETTY LIKE THE SUN) - Lost Frequencies & Tom Odell 260100 55 55 1 28 NEW LONDON BOY - Pet Shop Boys 2506650 56 53 53 6 SOMETHING IN MY EYE - Callum Beattie 45250 57 61 57 7 99 MILES FROM L.A. - Art Garfunkel 36500 58 77 58 3 TABOO - Kylie Minogue 18600 59 81 59 2 THE FEELING - Rudimental, 1991, PNAU & AR/CO 13900 60 64 60 7 ANOTHER ‘WITHOUT YOU’ DAY - Blue Mink 32700 61 56 8 20 PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE - Sabrina Carpenter 425200 62 65 62 6 SNAP!
