Posted February 19Feb 19 16th February 2025 It's taken 47 years but Tavares finally get The Bee Gees cover for the monster Saturday Night Fever album soundtrack to the top spot. It peaked at 3 in 1978 for me, but the Gibb brothers did eventually get their version to number one many years later, so it's appropriate that the even-better Tavares song does it too following the death of Pooch last year. That means it's only gone and taken 49 years for them to finally get a chart-topper. Some have had to wait longer (eg The Love Affair), but not many. Miley Cyrus makes it 13 top 10's as Beautiful That Way goes up to 8, Alex Warren has a massive climb into the top 20, and the highest new entry is Sabrina Carpenter with the top bonus track off the revamped album, Busy Woman at 31. Only THumbs had charted for her before, in 2017, but she's now up to 6 if I count correctly. The Weeknd charts 2 off his current album, Cry For Me and a duet with Lana Del Ray, The Abyss. That's also the title of a great film. Ignoring all his features, The Weeknd has had 25 charted tracks in 12 years, including one number one, but loads more with other acts including a number one with Ariana Grande. Lana Del Ray has been a bit quiet lately, but she's on 32 as lead artist, including one chart-topper in 14 years. Alok meanwhile keeps Kylie busy and enters a second track on the chart for himself, and a second for Kylie, and Rizzle Kicks make it 3 in a row in their comeback charting here. 1 6 1 7 MORE THAN A WOMAN - Tavares 3350002 1 1 4 HAMMER TO THE HEART - Teddy Swims 3637503 4 1 8 THE PROUD ONE - The Osmonds 5750004 9 4 5 PINK PONY CLUB - Chappell Roan 1434005 5 5 3 CHASING PARADISE - Kygo & OneRepublic 1860006 2 2 11 THE DARK END OF THE STREET - Pet Shop Boys 4878507 8 7 4 RIPPLE - Good Neighbours 1655008 12 8 8 BEAUTIFUL THAT WAY - Miley Cyrus 1603009 3 1 14 PEOPLE WATCHING - Sam Fender 59290010 10 10 4 A TEAR IN SPACE (AIRLOCK) - Glass Animals 114000 11 7 1 14 EXTREME WAYS - Armin van Buuren & Moby 121125012 25 12 6 LET ME IN - The Osmonds 8965013 13 1 14 LATE NIGHT PHONE CALL - Reverend And The Makers 133880014 21 14 5 NO BAD VIBES - Jazzy & KILIMANJARO 8640015 14 7 14 ALL YOUR FAULT - Gwen Stefani 32125016 26 16 4 CONTROL OF ME - Topic x Daecolm 6750017 11 1 13 APT. - ROSE & Bruno Mars 77935018 34 18 6 COLD DREAMING - Doves 6900019 73 19 2 ORDINARY - Alex Warren 2640020 27 20 6 I’M IN LOVE... - Andy Bell featuring Dot Allison and Michael Rother 82400 21 22 21 11 LIVE FOREVER - Chesney Hawkes 15100022 20 20 6 KEEP ME SATISFIED - Jungle 9470023 19 11 12 CAN’T SLOW DOWN - almost Monday 25325024 16 5 7 EUPHORIA - Armin van Buuren, Norma Jean Martine & LAWRENT with Alok 21800025 18 18 11 BOUQUET - Gwen Stefani 14910026 36 26 3 AS TEARS GO BY - Marianne Faithfull 4340027 38 27 3 WAY OUT - Jet Trouble 4220028 39 28 3 BORN WITH A BROKEN HEART - Damiano David 4280029 15 14 10 BARBARELLA - Betty Boo 15665030 35 30 3 FANCY - Artemas 59500 31 NEW 31 1 BUSY WOMAN - Sabrina Carpenter 1790032 24 1 21 YOU AGAIN - The Lottery Winners featuring Reverend And The Makers 106320033 33 1 24 NEVER GOING HOME TONIGHT - David Guetta & Alesso featuring Madison Love 113625034 17 16 11 NIGHTMARE - Geowulf 20235035 56 35 3 LIGHTHOUSE - Kim Wilde 3100036 57 36 2 WHO I AM - Alan Walker featuring Putri Ariana & Peder Elias 2780037 37 37 7 GIMME LITTLE SIGN - Brenton Wood 8635038 50 38 3 DO THINGS MY OWN WAY - Sparks 3930039 30 3 13 DISCO AT THE STRIP CLUB - Reve 72935040 49 40 3 HUNT YOU DOWN - ALT BLK ERA 39100 41 23 14 13 MIDNIGHT TRAIN - Kim Wilde 20435042 32 4 15 WITHOUT YA - Bakermat featuring Gladys Knight 51760043 55 43 3 THE BALLAD OF LUCY JORDAN - Marianne Faithfull 3070044 31 13 18 TABOO - Kylie Minogue 33645045 28 20 11 ANOTHER NIGHT - Grace Davies 16430046 46 46 4 MESSY - Lola Young 4190047 74 47 2 ABRADACABRA - Lady Gaga 1770048 48 48 4 FOLLOW ME - Special Interest featuring Amanda Lear 4000049 54 49 3 CRYING, LAUGHING, LOVING, LYING - Labi Siffre 3010050 51 50 7 LOVE ME FOR A REASON - The Osmonds 60250 51 61 51 2 ANDY (A GUY LIKE YOU) - The Waterboys 1925052 44 44 8 HURT - OneRepublic featuring Jelly Roll 8375053 53 4 43 FEEL - Pet Shop Boys 110525054 42 1 24 HEART LIKE MINE - Sam Feldt featuring Rosa Linn 109575055 72 55 3 REVELATION - The Knocks & Dragonette 2160056 70 56 2 WEIGHT OF DESIRE - Tennis 1660057 45 1 24 THE GIRL THAT I CALL HOME - Tears For Fears 102710058 29 10 12 TRUCKS - Cars On The Road Cast 23530059 62 59 4 NO ONE NOTICED - The Marias 3050060 41 4 18 FANTASY - JADE 551050 61 52 52 4 THE KILLING MOON - Echo & The Bunnymen 3440062 66 62 3 GOOD NEWS - Shaboozey 1960063 60 10 27 DIE WITH A SMILE - Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars 45885064 64 64 6 HEY YA! - Tom Speight featuring Lydia Clowes 3280065 71 65 2 LUTHER - Kendrick Lamar featuring SZA, Luther Vandross & Cheryl Lynn 1280066 59 8 15 DISCO WITCH - LEXXE 35240067 NEW 67 1 CRY FOR ME - The Weeknd 660068 40 38 8 NIGHT OR DAY - Franz Ferdinand 9985069 43 1 15 SCREAMLAND - Father John Misty 65685070 47 8 14 NOW OR NEVER (IT’S MY LIFE) - Bon Jovi x Pitbull 315950 71 68 68 5 BUILD IT UP - Franz Ferdinand 2960072 75 72 3 ARM’S LENGTH - Sam Fender 1560073 NEW 73 1 LAST NIGHT I DREAMT I FELL IN LOVE - Alok & Kylie Minogue 540074 78 74 2 SOMEBODY’S SON - Empire Of The Sun featuring Lindsey Buckingham 960075 65 64 4 CRIMINALS - Meghan Trainor 2530076 80 76 2 NEW YORK MINUTE - Dion 880077 77 77 2 SWEET SISTER SORROW - The Primitives 920078 NEW 78 1 VICE - Rizzle Kicks 440079 NEW 79 1 THE ABYSS - The Weeknd & Lana Del Ray 420080 79 79 2 HOT FOR YOU BABY - Tina Turner 8200 DROP OUTS58 9 10 DON’T TAKE AWAY THE MUSIC - Tavares 27765063 15 20 HEAVY IS THE CROWN - Linkin Park 30285067 26 11 LATE ’88 - Deacon Blue 12325069 25 17 SHOULDA LEFT YA - Kylie Minogue 23280076 49 9 VIVA L’OPERA - Armin van Buuren featuring Natalie Gioia 63150

See the dentist about the toothache, there is no relief like ending toothache even if it means losing a tooth 😱Sam actually topped my charts too, and the song has just been on Radio 2 yay🤗 Not heard Vagabond Ways properly but Im always going to like Marianne, and Lucy Jordan should indeed have been a big hit, but she did well to get that comeback mini-hit after the sea-change in pop music since she last had a hit and jumping right back into relevance and new sounds. I might have to enter Amanda Lear into BJSC sometime, it's one of those out-there tracks that might appeal to the more Indie-leaning crowd, and I just can never resist fuzzy-guitar-sounds.Take it easy and thanks as ever for the comments and picks! 😎
