2nd November 2025

It's 3 weeks on top for secrets as Miley Mac continue to rule with 1981 classic Once In A Lifetime trying to get its first week on top ever at 3, having fallen short of the top 5 first time round. Rose Gray gets a second big top 10 as Lotus blossoms at 6. Biggest climber is Rosalia and Bjork up to 33, but there's a bunch moving into the top 40 along with them.

I watched KPop Demon Hunters this week, which was decent enough, so Golden pops back in as a result, and the nice ballad Free debuts at 85. That leaves just Rob Thomas as the other new entry at 84 with Ghost, his 3rd on the chart something he and Matchbox 20 never achieved even at their peak chart-topping era in the early 2000's, Bent and Smooth both topped my charts.

Loads of brilliant songs in your chart, for me particularly "Brand New Me", "Back To Friends", "Unconditional", "Divine Feelings", "Talk To Me", "Berghain", "12 To 12" and "Dracula" just to name a few. I find it also nice that your charts feature several classic synth pop songs such as "Say Hello And Wave Goodbye", "Self Control" and "Torch". Fab chart.

Hi John!

Nice to see "Secrets" at the top, "Once In A Lifetime" in the top 3, the new peaks for "Be Like That", "Dracula", "Before You Break My Heart", "The Dead Dance", "The Fate Of Ophelia", "Something In The Heavens", "Undressed", "If He Wanted To He Would", "Bottle Rockets", "The Happy Dictator", "The Life of a Showgirl", "Play This Song", "Pretty Face" and "Lemonade" and the big gains for "Berghain", "Time Will Tell", "Hello" and "My Only Angel" and the return for "Golden".

Great chart!

Take care.

Hey John!

Noooo, back to friends 😑 come on sombr.

Unconditional peaking at #8 is good. I'm disappointed there wasn't more in the tank to push it further. Ah well. It is what it is.

In surprised the fate of Ophelia hasn't climbed even higher here. I'm hoping it can do.

Undressed still climbing yass. At this rate I expect it to barely scrape the top 40 here but it's had a good run already if we out it in to context of it's low peak so far.

Oooh, golden re-entering is certainly a choice. I can't quite believe just how well this has done officially. It's crazy!

Fab chart 🥳

Miley Cyrus for #1 again 😁

New peak positions for Ian Storm, Richard Aschroft, Soft Cell, Tame Impala, Lady Gaga, Sigala, Taylor Swift, Westlife, Lewis Capaldi, Sombr, Scotty McCreery, Nate Smith, Gorillaz, Aerosmith, Robbie Williams, Mariah Carey and Louis Tomlinson 😁

New entries for Huntr and Rob Thomas 😁

Hey John,

Miley❣️ and Saint Etienne❣️ still Top 2

Pet Shop Boys remix Top 20, Tame Impala❣️, Jade❣️ and Blue❣️ Top 30, Rosalía, Marshmello, Celeste, Taylor Swift, Tame Impala and Sigala Top 40
