Posted January 22Jan 22 19th January 2025 It's 2 weeks on top for APT. There's certainly no new competition threatening the top spot, though the Osmonds' The Proud One hit a chart peak of 3 50 years late, and still may go all the way, cos it's fab. The Osmonds have never topped my charts in any combination, that's the entire family, though Crazy Horses and One Bad Apple both peaked at 2 as oldies, so that is an omission that may yet be corrected. The top 10 gets busy at long last, as Armin van Buuren grabs two top 5 tracks this week, and Alok gets his first in 3 years since topping with Ellie Goulding on All By Myself. Sam Fender gets his first-ever top 10, and Pet Shop Boys make it 40 years of top 10's. They may have missed out on the odd year here or there, but essentially it's been an ongoing achievement throughout. I've lost count on how many the total is. Gwen Stefani meanwhile grabs her first top 10 in 4 years for a total of 11 not including No Doubt stuff. 16, if you do include No Doubt, beginning in 1997. Betty Boo has the highest climber, the intro sounds like something from Phantom Of The Opera and it extends her chart career to 36 years. The highest new entry is an afrobeat-ish dance track from jazzy and KILIMANJARO, while in a quiet week, Franz Ferdinand chart a second track - from their new album - and Enter Shikari go where they've never gone before - into my charts, with a Prodigy-ish track. 1 1 1 9 APT. - ROSE & Bruno Mars 599350 2 2 1 10 EXTREME WAYS - Armin van Buuren & Moby 999250 3 10 3 3 THE PROUD ONE - The Osmonds 140000 4 3 1 10 LATE NIGHT PHONE CALL - Reverend And The Makers 1177800 5 21 5 3 EUPHORIA - Armin van Buuren, Norma Jean Martine & LAWRENT with Alok 91000 6 19 6 10 PEOPLE WATCHING - Sam Fender 177900 7 15 7 7 THE DARK END OF THE STREET - Pet Shop Boys 147850 8 16 8 10 ALL YOUR FAULT - Gwen Stefani 178250 9 9 9 7 DON’T TAKE AWAY THE MUSIC - Tavares 203200 10 4 4 11 WITHOUT YA - Bakermat featuring Gladys Knight 448300 11 5 4 14 FANTASY - JADE 489400 12 6 3 10 DISCO AT THE STRIP CLUB - Reve 639500 13 14 13 14 TABOO - Kylie Minogue 253800 14 11 1 17 YOU AGAIN - The Lottery Winners featuring Reverend And The Makers 984400 15 30 15 8 TRUCKS - Cars On The Road Cast 142900 16 17 16 8 CAN’T SLOW DOWN - almost Monday 144000 17 13 5 7 HEAVEN MUST BE MISSING AN ANGEL - Tavares 272800 18 8 8 10 NOW OR NEVER (IT’S MY LIFE) - Bon Jovi x Pitbull 262250 19 25 19 9 MIDNIGHT TRAIN - Kim Wilde 115100 20 18 8 11 DISCO WITCH - LEXXE 303750 21 24 21 7 NIGHTMARE - Geowulf 115750 22 7 1 11 SCREAMLAND - Father John Misty 601750 23 12 4 13 LEFT TO MY OWN DEVICES - Pet Shop Boys 487050 24 20 1 20 NEVER GOING HOME TONIGHT - David Guetta & Alesso featuring Madison Love 1064850 25 23 12 13 THE FEELING - Rudimental, 1991, PNAU & AR/CO 285100 26 22 1 10 WHAT HAVE I DONE (TO DESERVE THIS) - Pet Shop Boys and Dusty Springfield 527000 27 47 27 3 MORE THAN A WOMAN - Tavares 38000 28 51 28 6 BARBARELLA - Betty Boo 55450 29 35 29 7 ANOTHER NIGHT - Grace Davies 93000 30 28 1 20 THE GIRL THAT I CALL HOME - Tears For Fears 972600 31 27 25 14 SHOULDA LEFT YA - Kylie Minogue 196700 32 42 32 8 LATE ’88 - Deacon Blue 79350 33 40 33 7 LIVE FOREVER - Chesney Hawkes 74600 34 32 15 11 BACK AT YOUR DOOR - Orville Peck & Debbii Dawson 186200 35 26 26 7 SUPERSCAR - Adela 120850 36 37 36 7 TANGERINE RAYS - Zedd featuring Bea MIller & Flood 81500 37 44 37 7 BOUQUET - Gwen Stefani 72450 38 29 15 17 HEAVY IS THE CROWN - Linkin Park 265000 39 39 39 7 MISERERE - Pet Shop Boys 92100 40 49 40 7 YOUR NAME IN LIGHTS - Simple Minds featuring Sarah Brown 68200 41 31 4 16 HIGHER - Tom Grennan 486600 42 33 12 11 I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES - The Jackson Sisters 244050 43 38 2 16 EVIL WOMAN - Duran Duran 534300 44 34 16 12 ALL THE YOUNG DUDES - Pet Shop Boys 189500 45 41 1 20 HEART LIKE MINE - Sam Feldt featuring Rosa Linn 1045100 46 50 46 4 NIGHT OR DAY - Franz Ferdinand 42150 47 48 47 4 SAY HELLO WAVE GOODBYE - Soft Cell 47100 48 64 48 2 KEEP ME SATISFIED - Jungle 19400 49 56 49 4 BEAUTIFUL THAT WAY - Miley Cyrus 34100 50 43 20 11 SOMEONE FOR ME - Kylie Minogue 163800 51 45 34 11 YOUNG LION - Sade 142450 52 36 19 13 DISEASE - Lady Gaga 166600 53 59 53 4 HURT - OneRepublic featuring Jelly Roll 33950 54 46 8 21 WALK AWAY RENEE - The Four Tops 419600 55 53 4 39 FEEL - Pet Shop Boys 1060700 56 55 4 33 BIRDS OF A FEATHER - Billie Eilish 749150 57 63 57 3 GIMME LITTLE SIGN - Brenton Wood 24000 58 54 1 19 LOOKING THROUGH THE WINDOWS - The Jackson 5 842350 59 57 10 23 DIE WITH A SMILE - Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars 420900 60 52 31 9 SAY GOODBYE TO MUM AND DAD - Tears For Fears 122000 61 58 19 14 GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF - Chesney Hawkes 185650 62 60 60 7 NICE TO MEET YOU - Myles Smith 49800 63 69 63 6 VIVA L’OPERA - Armin van Buuren featuring Natalie Gioia 35000 64 65 64 2 I’M IN LOVE... - Andy Bell featuring Dot Allison and Michael Rother 14100 65 62 36 8 RISK IT ALL - Shy FX featuring Maverick Sabre 97450 66 71 66 3 LOVE ME FOR A REASON - The Osmonds 17600 67 NEW 67 1 NO BAD VIBES - Jazzy & KILIMANJARO 6600 68 74 68 2 COLD DREAMING - Doves 11600 69 75 69 2 LET ME IN - The Osmonds 11200 70 72 70 2 HEY YA! - Tom Speight featuring Lydia Clowes 11600 71 73 71 3 BUG - Fontaines D.C. 16400 72 70 70 3 YES I CAN - Bonnie Tyler 17000 73 NEW 73 1 BLOODSHOT - Enter Shikari 5400 74 NEW 74 1 BUILD IT UP - Franz Ferdinand 5200 75 66 66 7 WINTER SONG - Mike Batt featuring Paul Carrack 40400 DROP OUTS 61 5 6 I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND - The Beatles 195700 67 56 6 HOT TO GO - Chappell Roan 47400 68 30 12 LONELY HEART - Alesso & John Alto 150800

I think you'll like my new chart, :lol: and yes thanks all OK! The APT money-shots for me are the "Hold On Hold On" bit and "Like you want me baby", everything else leads up to them so it's a tease - delayed satisfaction. I always enjoy a tease :lol: Yes The Jackson Sisters totally flopped in 1973, and then got a dance-vibe cult reputation in the late 80's leading to an actual (low) chart position in the UK, before it finally became a Top 40 hit cover for The Pasadenas. I'd love it if it suddenly became a hit half a century on, remixed or otherwise! Thanks for commenting as always! :cheer: :heart:
