14th September 2025

It's taken 3 years or so but Chappell Roan finally gets that chart-topper with the emotional The Subway holding off a challenge from Vance Joy, Divine Feelings is fabulous and up to 2. The Biggest climber, though, is Saint Etienne grabbing a second top 5 of 2025, along with Confidence Man on Brand New Me. Check out the video, I love it. Confidence Man take their 3rd charting hit into the top 10 for a second in 3 years, while Saint Etienne are on 9 top 10's in 33 years. Kim Carnes returns Bette Davis Eyes into the top 10 for a first time in 44 years.

Good Neighbours leap-frog themselves, and Sabrina Carpenter gets the highest entry with Tears at 62, just ahead of Damiano David grabbing a 6th track inside 12 months, with added Tyla and Nile Rodgers on Talk To Me - that'll be another guest-starring extension of his Chic-tastic career for Nile to not far off 48 years! Artemas follows-up his chart-topper with Eat Me Alive, Loaded Honey swap one album track for a new one - Hello Stranger is short n sweet. Saint Etienne also drop an album track in Dancing Heart, Sophie Ellis-Bextor adds another with Stay On Me, Blue get another unexpected return with the rather good One Last Time, they all get a share of vocal duties in the blustery video, and finally The Weeknd has a new video out but it doesnt seem to be on download - so Society gets bottom slot for that.

You have some great songs in your charts. I'm really happy that I am not the only one who loves "Divine Feelings" - it is such a brilliant song. Good impact of the Saint Etienne album on your chart. Hope that the new Damiano David song will climb next week.

Hey John! :)

Loving the #1 for Chappell Roan, "The Subway" is such a fantastic choice for the top spot! Great to see Laura Branigan’s "Self Control" climbing into the Top 20 too, such a classic. Really cool debuts for Sabrina Carpenter’s "Tears," Damiano’s "Talk To Me," and Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s "Stay On Me." Also nice climbs for Lady Gaga’s "The Dead Dance" and sombr’s "Back To Friends."

Awesome chart as always! 👏

Hey John!

That's a great #1 with the subway. Absolutely divine.

Better Davis eyes is great of course. I'm glad to see that go top 10 for you 😄

Noooo, not Manchild falling quite quickly now eep. I reckon it will be on my chart for a wee while now.

Tears is alright. Definitely the right choice as next single but there is not much to choose from in that regard I don't think.

Good climb for back to friends. That's one that's really grown on me. Definitely.

Eat Me Alive is great and will be joining my chart soon.

Fab chart 😄

Hello John

6    4    1    8    12 TO 12    -    sombr    485150 His whole album is incredible. He is so gifted at age 20, especially considering the songs would've been written/recorded before he was 20! Plus this song has such a Tame Impala feel to it, actually reminds me of Dua 'Don't Start Now' too!
