Posted October 25, 2025Oct 25 19th October 2025It's up one place for Miley Cyrus' Secrets, giving her a second number one of 2025 and 6th in total - something I never would have predicted back in Hannah Montana days, let alone her featuring two-fifths of the classic Fleetwood Mac line-up. That gives Fleetwood Mac a combined total of 8 number ones, including solo number ones - including Miley Cyrus' mash-up with Stevie Nicks' Edge Of 17 on Midnight Sky (which had two goes at number one, with and without Stevie). That means Miley has hit the top spot with the majority of Fleetwood Mac. Strictly-speaking though, Mick Fleetwood is on his 5th chart-topper 57 years on from his chart-debut, spanning 46 years of number ones, and Lindsey is on his 6th, 49 years on from debut and also 46 years of number one spanning with the same Tusk.Richard Ashcroft adds another top 10 to his Verve-tastic career, his 12th since Bittersweet Symphony hit the top spot in 1997. Dust In The Wind and Unconditional rocket up the chart for Ian Storm and co, and JADE, and there is just the one new entry, quite rare that, but it allows me to chop my chart down to 80, hooray! Marshmello returns with guests Ellie Goulding and AVAION, the latter debuting on a Nicky Romero remix of Save My Love, which was out earlier this year and didnt chart. Ellie's been doing a lot of featuring in the last few years, as well as solo stuff, 15 years into her charting career, including a number one. Marshmello hasent troubled my charts as lead act for a couple of years, but has a 7-year chart run including a number one in 2021 with Jonas Brothers.1 2 1 5 SECRETS - Miley Cyrus featuring Lindsey Buckingham and Mick Fleetwood 407700 2 1 1 7 BRAND NEW ME - Saint Etienne featuring Confidence Man 622750 3 3 3 7 PEOPLE NEED PEOPLE - Good Neighbours 375300 4 7 4 7 BACK TO FRIENDS - sombr 177700 5 8 5 6 TALK TO ME - Damiano David featuring Tyla and Nile Rodgers 180950 6 5 1 7 DIVINE FEELINGS - Vance Joy 697000 7 11 1 19 TOKYO RAIN - Loaded Honey 1515000 8 17 8 5 LOVIN’ YOU - Richard Ashcroft featuring Mason Williams 108500 9 20 9 4 SPEAK LIKE A CHILD - The Style Council 94000 10 4 1 5 DIE WITH A SMILE - Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars 507000 50395011 9 1 12 THE SUBWAY - Chappell Roan 672000 12 10 10 9 SPACE - Ella Eyre 197100 13 18 13 4 ONCE IN A LIFETIME - Talking Heads 83450 14 14 8 10 THE HIVES FOREVER FOREVER THE HIVES - The Hives 267600 15 13 1 13 12 TO 12 - sombr 692150 16 6 6 8 SELF CONTROL - Laura Branigan 233600 64590017 12 9 8 AT NIGHT - Shakedown 216200 70550018 21 18 3 SUGAR TOWN - Nancy Sinatra 53850 19 16 4 14 FIVE MORE SECONDS - Seafret featuring KT Tunstall 503250 20 31 20 4 BE LIKE THAT - Seeb featuring JP Cooper 49300 21 19 1 14 WALK OF FAME - Miley Cyrus featuring Brittany Howard 1069950 22 32 22 2 OH LORD - Foxy Shazam 37300 23 24 23 7 SHE’D RATHER BE WITH ME - The Turtles 132250 24 25 24 10 SUMMER HOLIDAY - Cliff Richard & The Shadows 115250 25 35 25 9 WHAT I WANT - Morgan Wallen and Tate McRae 93900 26 67 26 2 DUST IN THE WIND - Ian Storm, Ron van den Beuken & Menno 25100 27 64 27 4 UNCONDITIONAL - JADE 36900 28 39 28 4 WHY I CRY - MT Jones 52600 29 27 27 8 MACHINE - Rob Thomas 107950 30 15 15 10 FORT KNOX - Sigrid 161350 31 22 20 10 SINGAPORE (DEFINITIVE VERSION) - Girls Aloud 153750 32 23 1 19 OVER - Loaded Honey 1119800 33 26 17 10 G.O.A.T.

October 26, 2025Oct 26 Hey John! Great to see “Secrets” holding strong at #1 — that’s such a powerful collaboration! I’m also loving the gains for “Back To Friends” and “Talk To Me,” both fantastic tracks. Nice to see “Unconditional” and “Dracula” moving up too, and all those Taylor Swift entries climbing steadily! The mix of classic vibes like “Once in a Lifetime” with newer songs gives your chart such cool variety. Excellent update!

I think my first oldie was The Righteous Brothers in 1969 - and that's been back another 3 times since at least. 😄cheers! 😎

In my working life I almost reached the national average wage towards the end. But then I went part-time and that was that 😇Hey ho! Shout To The Top was a Style Council goodie, but my faves were Speak, Long Hot Summer, You're The Best Thing, and The Lodgers. It's not often SEEB do better here than in your chart! 😮Unconditional heading for another big climb this week too, it's very More-ish! I tend forget about The Grid for Dave Ball back catalogue, but there's a couple of Soft Cell coming back in tribute. Before You Break My Heart should be a hit, indeed, it seems you have to be a pre-album track or tracks one through three on an album to get a hit though (if you have a large following). Ooh interesting Heart FM fans dont like the Lewis Capaldi track! I mean I invariably dont like Capaldi tracks, but this one has a touching vocal and a proper tune. Ahhh, that must be why they dont like it....! 😄Thanks as always for all the picks and comments, take it easy! cheers 😎

I think the original Dust In The Wind is better, about time it was a proper hit in the UK! All the others you mention still climbing, though, so thats good! Yay! Thanks for commenting!cheers! 😎
