January 21Jan 21 Completely didn't clock Run To The Hills peaked at 7! Thought it peaked higher in the future but then realised I confused it with Number Of The Beast :cry:
January 21Jan 21 Author 28 points Camila Cabello – Never Be The Same The Fortunes - Storm In A Teacup Eddie Grant - Gimme Hope Jo'anna Ella Henderson - Glow Kool and The Gang - Celebration Labrinth - Jealous Bridgit Mendler – Ready Or Not Andy Williams - Home Lovin' Man 3GwjfUFyY6M This party anthem was a number 1 single for Kool and The Gang in their own country and one of seven UK top 10 hits. Gimme Hope Jo'anna was Eddie Grant's first top 10 hit for five years when it came out in 1988. Home Lovin' Man, from 1970, was Andy Williams' sixth top ten single, coming thirteen years after his only number 1, 'Butterfly'.
January 22Jan 22 'Run To The Hills' and 'Glow' were close to my votes, otherwise not much of note dropping out today.
January 22Jan 22 Author 29 points Paloma Faith – Picking Up The Pieces Marv Johnson – You Got What It Takes Paul McCartney and Wings - Jet Manic Street Preachers - Theme From M.A.S.H. (Suicide Is Painless) Nightcrawlers featuring John Reid - Surrender Your Love The Walker Brothers - No Regrets Tion Wayne featuring Dutchavelli and Stormzy – I Dunno UIZjuJwYfYw From 1974, Jet was a sixth top 10 hit for Paul McCartney, with or without Wings. The Walker Brothers split up in 1968 but got back together in 1975 and quickly had one more big hit with No Regrets. Marv Johnson had two top 40 singles in 1960 (one of which was You Got What It Takes) and two more in 1969 but nothing in between. The Manic Street Preachers' cover of the number 1 single, Theme From M.A.S.H., was their first top 10 hit.
January 22Jan 22 Author 30 points Beyonce - Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) DHT featuring Edmee – Listen To Your Heart Free - Wishing Well eKy_puDDnRk The British group Free are best known for 'All Right Now' but they had two other top 10 hits, one of which was Wishing Well in 1973. Single Ladies by Beyonce won three Grammy awards in 2009. I'm surprised only two people voted for it. Also here is a cover of the Roxette song, Listen To Your Heart.
January 22Jan 22 Author 31 points JP Cooper - September Song D-Side – Invisible Girls Aloud - Long Hot Summer Demi Lovato - Cool For The Summer Britney Spears featuring Pharrell Williams - Boys (The Co-Ed Remix) 9ORWF5RkdO0 From 2016, September Song is the only top 40 hit for JP Cooper as the lead artist. In the same year, he featured on a single by Jonas Blue which got to number 2. Most of September is part of the summer which also features here in songs by Girls Aloud and Demi Lovato. All four of Britney Spears' number 7 singles received votes and Boys is the first one to drop out.
January 22Jan 22 Author 32 points Lionel Richie - Dancing On The Ceiling U.S.U.R.A. - Open Your Mind ovo6zwv6DX4 Dancing On The Ceiling was the seventh top 10 hit for Lionel Richie, he still has one more song left. Seven years later, Open Your Mind was the first of three top 40 singles for the Italian dance group U.S.U.R.A.
January 23Jan 23 A fair few favourites dropping out now for me, specifically the Manics, Maiden, Prince and Betty Boo.
January 23Jan 23 I lost three of mine in one day! I've always had a big soft spot for 'Invisible' by short-lived Irish boyband D-side, I'm a sucker for that kind of guitar-led pop which bands like that do so well. I'm just happy someone else voted for it! I thought 'September Song' was still reasonably well remembered so I'm surprised it's dropped out on such a low number of points :( 'Wishing Well' is easily one of my ultimate seventies rock bangers! Not as well known as their bigger hit 'All Right Now' but it's so much better. That DHT cover of Roxette on the other hand received far too many points. Way to ruin one of my songs of the 80s!

January 23Jan 23 Author 33 points Herman's Hermits - No Milk Today Pitbull featuring TJR - Don't Stop The Party wdCHlJoAP8I Herman's Hermits had four of their singles peak at number 7. This is the second of the two that received votes. It was written by Graham Gouldman who appeared two days ago as part of 10cc. Pitbull has a second song still to come.
January 23Jan 23 Herman's Hermits had four of their singles peak at number 7. That's disproportionately high given that they only had 20 top 40 singles altogether! I quite like a lot of their discography and 'No Milk Today' is definitely one of their best (although there is a good reason 'I'm Into Something Good' was their only number one :D)
January 23Jan 23 Author 34 points Celine Dion - Pour Que Tu M'aimes Encore Outkast featuring Sleepy Brown - The Way You Move AzaTyxMduH4 This is Celine Dion's only UK hit single in the French language. It sold more than two million copies in both Canada and France. She has another song left in.
January 23Jan 23 Author 35 points Flip & Fill featuring Kelly Llorenna – True Love Never Dies Elton John - Pinball Wizard Taylor Swift featuring Ed Sheeran – Everything Has Changed Britney Spears - 3 Take That - A Million Love Songs xyFB3QjGX0A Elton John has five number 7 singles and three of them caught the attention of the voters. Pinball Wizard was recorded first by The Who in 1969. Elton John performed the song in the 1975 film adaptation of Tommy and released it as a single the following year. Take That and Britney Spears are both preoccupied with numbers, one big and one small.
January 23Jan 23 Author 36 points Zedd, Maren Morris and Grey – The Middle M3mJkSqZbX4 From 2018, this is one of nine top 40 singles so far for the German DJ Zedd.
January 24Jan 24 'No Milk Today' just missing out on the Top 30. 'Don't Stop The Party' another one for mine to go on my list.
January 24Jan 24 I wonder whats gonna be the cutoff point. Last year 62 was the cut off point for Buzzjack's Ultimate UK Number 6 Single.
