Posted January 10Jan 10 5th January 2025 It's a 4th week on top as Reverend & The Makers get that Late NIght Phone Call again during a a still-quiet period for new releases, and the post-Christmas exodus - albeit a small one. JADE reaches a new peak, which will make Fantasy a 2025 hit for my chart purposes, and ditto Bon Jovi and Pitbull, as It's My Life goes top 10 for the second time. New entries as usual these days, include tribute oldies, this time for Wayne Osmond, with Love Me For A Reason and The Proud One returning 50 years on - the former under-performed unfairly in my charts of the time, the latter is my fave Osmonds record, the Four Seasons cover has been a turntable fave for about 30 years now. Brenton Wood also passed away, so his 1968 goodie Gimme Little Sign was just a few months early for my first charts and deserves a chart run. Meanwhile a Tavares classic also returns, More Than A Woman. For new tracks, Armin van Buuren seems to be dropping a new banger each week at the moment, there now 3 in the chart, the latest being a great dance track Euphoria - not Loreen! The big chart return is Bonnie Tyler, absent since Eurovision and now grabbing a 49th charting span with a pretty good rock ballad track Yes I Can. Fontaines D.C. finally get a second chart entry, with Bug, as I continue to be late to that party. 1 2 1 8 LATE NIGHT PHONE CALL - Reverend And The Makers 1027800 2 1 1 8 EXTREME WAYS - Armin van Buuren & Moby 769250 3 3 3 8 DISCO AT THE STRIP CLUB - Reve 549500 4 10 4 12 FANTASY - JADE 392400 5 7 5 9 WITHOUT YA - Bakermat featuring Gladys Knight 341300 6 6 6 7 APT. - ROSE & Bruno Mars 259350 7 4 4 11 LEFT TO MY OWN DEVICES - Pet Shop Boys 432800 8 5 5 5 HEAVEN MUST BE MISSING AN ANGEL - Tavares 217800 9 13 9 8 NOW OR NEVER (IT’S MY LIFE) - Bon Jovi x Pitbull 192250 10 11 1 9 SCREAMLAND - Father John Misty 532250 11 8 1 15 YOU AGAIN - The Lottery Winners featuring Reverend And The Makers 918400 12 12 12 11 THE FEELING - Rudimental, 1991, PNAU & AR/CO 247100 13 15 13 5 DON’T TAKE AWAY THE MUSIC - Tavares 113200 14 17 14 12 TABOO - Kylie Minogue 192800 15 25 15 8 ALL YOUR FAULT - Gwen Stefani 105250 16 19 16 10 ALL THE YOUNG DUDES - Pet Shop Boys 158650 17 14 8 9 DISCO WITCH - LEXXE 261750 18 18 1 18 NEVER GOING HOME TONIGHT - David Guetta & Alesso featuring Madison Love 1025850 19 26 19 11 DISEASE - Lady Gaga 137700 20 16 4 14 HIGHER - Tom Grennan 454700 21 29 21 6 CAN’T SLOW DOWN - almost Monday 96000 22 22 1 8 WHAT HAVE I DONE (TO DESERVE THIS) - Pet Shop Boys and Dusty Springfield 488500 23 21 12 9 I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES - The Jackson Sisters 213000 24 35 24 5 THE DARK END OF THE STREET - Pet Shop Boys 70850 25 32 25 12 SHOULDA LEFT YA - Kylie Minogue 160400 26 30 26 5 NIGHTMARE - Geowulf 77000 27 24 15 15 HEAVY IS THE CROWN - Linkin Park 229600 28 28 1 18 THE GIRL THAT I CALL HOME - Tears For Fears 936300 29 9 5 5 I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND - The Beatles 188200 30 20 20 9 SOMEONE FOR ME - Kylie Minogue 138300 31 31 31 5 SUPERSCAR - Adela 84850 32 46 32 7 MIDNIGHT TRAIN - Kim Wilde 75350 33 23 2 14 EVIL WOMAN - Duran Duran 503600 34 38 34 8 PEOPLE WATCHING - Sam Fender 101800 35 27 15 9 BACK AT YOUR DOOR - Orville Peck & Debbii Dawson 150800 36 34 34 9 YOUNG LION - Sade 117700 37 48 37 5 ANOTHER NIGHT - Grace Davies 57300 38 36 36 6 RISK IT ALL - Shy FX featuring Maverick Sabre 83050 39 47 39 5 TANGERINE RAYS - Zedd featuring Bea MIller & Flood 46800 40 49 40 5 MISERERE - Pet Shop Boys 57900 41 40 1 18 HEART LIKE MINE - Sam Feldt featuring Rosa Linn 1018100 42 33 19 12 GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF - Chesney Hawkes 167950 43 39 31 7 SAY GOODBYE TO MUM AND DAD - Tears For Fears 100500 44 42 8 19 WALK AWAY RENEE - The Four Tops 395850 45 NEW 45 1 THE PROUD ONE - The Osmonds 13000 46 43 1 17 LOOKING THROUGH THE WINDOWS - The Jackson 5 821150 47 58 47 5 BOUQUET - Gwen Stefani 41900 48 57 48 5 LIVE FOREVER - Chesney Hawkes 39900 49 59 49 6 LATE ’88 - Deacon Blue 47800 50 41 30 11 LONELY HEART - Alesso & John Alto 144400 51 37 25 6 TRUCKS - Cars On The Road Cast 97900 52 55 52 2 SAY HELLO WAVE GOODBYE - Soft Cell 22300 53 NEW 53 1 EUPHORIA - Armin van Buuren, Norma Jean Martine & LAWRENT with Alok 11250 54 53 53 4 YOU GET WHAT YOU GIVE - New Radicals 42850 55 45 4 31 BIRDS OF A FEATHER - Billie Eilish 727750 56 60 56 5 HOT TO GO - Chappell Roan 40800 57 62 57 5 YOUR NAME IN LIGHTS - Simple Minds 39100 58 63 58 2 NIGHT OR DAY - Franz Ferdinand 17400 59 44 4 37 FEEL - Pet Shop Boys 1038650 60 67 60 4 BARBARELLA - Betty Boo 25400 61 54 10 21 DIE WITH A SMILE - Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars 400400 62 52 12 16 ALL MY LIFE - Purple Disco Machine & The Magician 295900 63 NEW 63 1 MORE THAN A WOMAN - Tavares 7200 64 50 9 13 FREEDOM OF THE NIGHT - Sophie Ellis-Bextor 258900 65 65 65 5 NICE TO MEET YOU - Myles Smith 32400 66 71 66 2 HURT - OneRepublic featuring Jelly Roll 12600 67 51 30 11 HONEY - Lenny Kravitz 122150 68 NEW 68 1 GIMME LITTLE SIGN - Brenton Wood 6400 69 69 69 5 WINTER SONG - Mike Batt featuring Paul Carrack 28600 70 73 70 2 BEAUTIFUL THAT WAY - Miley Cyrus 11400 71 56 50 7 FORBIDDEN ROAD - Robbie Williams 73100 72 72 72 4 VIVA L’OPERA - Armin van Buuren featuring Natalie Gioia 21600 73 NEW 73 1 YES I CAN - Bonnie Tyler 5400 74 NEW 74 1 BUG - Fontaines D.C. 5200 75 NEW 75 1 LOVE ME FOR A REASON - The Osmonds 5000 DROP OUTS 61 50 8 NEW SPORT - Rizzle Kicks 73050 64 59 7 SO SENSITIVE - Ice Cube 48000 66 60 4 RATATATA - BABYMETAL & Electric Callboy 36800 68 68 1 BACK ON ’74 - Jungle 6400 70 70 4 YOU AIN’T THE ONLY ONE - Mary J.
