Afternoon all! As always, NO SPOILERS PLEASE!

Is wheels on the bus chart ineligible or are video streams really miniscule

The first ever UK chart was dated the 14th November 1952 so Happy 73rd Birthday to the UK Singles Chart !!

The latter - it'll be picking up little elsewhere and video streams alone won't be enough to help it chart!

Afternoon all as a ROSALÍA fan for 7 years and counting I am rather excited about today's chart, fingers crossed 'Berghain' has done enough for top 40...

In the mean time, my top 3 favourite songs from each throwback chart:

2024

1. Chappell Roan - HOT TO GO!

2. Billie Eilish - WILDFLOWER

3. Gigi Perez - Sailor Song

2020

1. Miley Cyrus - Midnight Sky

2. Dua Lipa - Levitating

3. Ariana Grande - positions

2015

1. The Weeknd - The Hills

2. MNEK & Zara Larsson - Never Forget You

3. Justin Bieber - Sorry

2010

1. Take That - The Flood

2. Alexis Jordan - Happiness

3. Katy Perry - Firework

2005

1. Madonna - Hung Up

2. Arctic Monkeys - I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor

3. Robbie Williams - Tripping

Two HUGE comeback moments in 'Hung Up' 20 years ago and 'The Flood' 15 years ago! A masterful use of the ABBA sample on the former and the latter was a triumphant return of the five piece Take That, an epic moment on the Progress tour... shame it didn't get to #1. At least the album more than made up for that!

Retro faves!

Biography

She’s the dream girl. The free spirit. The candy-coated pinup and the well of inner strength. She’s a little Disney, a little Betty Boop. But she’s also an avatar for the modern female pop star in a post-Madonna world—the liberated woman who kicks open doors without knocking. Under all the sparkle and glitter, you could sense an artist grappling with messy human contradictions—about sexuality, about self-love, about asserting femininity in a man’s world. Talking to Apple Music in 2019, Katy Perry said she leads with her gut and lets her mind follow, and doesn’t make much sense of any of it until the work is done. “The themes are joy,” she said. “They are empowerment. They are trying to expand the boundaries of what I think, and trying to learn from all this opportunity.” She might actually be a superhero. But she also might just be what she is: a girl from Southern California who worked like crazy and didn’t flinch. Born in 1984 to Pentecostal pastors in Santa Barbara, Perry (originally Katy Hudson) grew up on gospel music, putting out her first album, 2001’s Katy Hudson, on a Christian label. At some point during adolescence, she discovered Queen, a band whose mix of flamboyance, power, and sexualized wit cracked her creative world open. (Perry named her fragrance Killer Queen, after one of the band’s signature songs.) Club tracks, ballads, classic pop-rock, and contemporary electronic music—Perry’s production collaborators are brilliant (Dr. Luke, Max Martin, benny blanco), but it's her songwriting, her image, her balance of playfulness and confidence that pull the package together. And for every “Teenage Dream” or “I Kissed a Girl,” there's a “Firework” or a “Roar,” music that turns expressions of vulnerability into anthems of inclusion and self-renewal—a dynamic that has made Perry an inspirational figure not only to young women, but for an LGBTQ community she vocally supports. Perry doesn’t quite know how she went so platinum—2010’s Teenage Dream reached commercial heights previously set only by Michael Jackson—but while the numbers are nice, the work is what's important. “It’s up to me to make the right choice in my mind to keep putting one foot in front of the other and going forward,” Perry told Apple Music. “Not going backwards—I could easily go backwards by literally looking at a photo. But I have to go forward, because I know what’s good for me now.” - Apple Music

Biography

One day in the late '90s, comic-book artist Jamie Hewlett and Blur singer Damon Albarn were sitting around in their West London flat watching TV—a brand-new Panasonic, eight channels on screen at once. Their eyes were glazed, their minds empty. The images just kept coming. This was the dawn of reality TV—shows that turned so-called real life into prepackaged stories and people into cartoons. The question hit them: If culture was already fake, why keep pretending it was real? At first glance, the idea of an animated “virtual band”—the sprightly 2-D, rogue Murdoc Niccals, gangsta Russel Hobbs, and sweet outsider Noodle—seemed a little gimmicky, an art-school shot at mainstream pop. But in retrospect, Gorillaz’s work—the electro-indie pop of “Feel Good Inc.” and “Dare,” the leftfield hip-hop of “Clint Eastwood” and “Dirty Harry,” the bits of American gospel, African folk, and dub—reflected a rootless, fragmented world that has only gotten more familiar with time. That they had no fixed lineup and an ever-rotating series of vocalists and collaborators (from Elton John to De La Soul, Clash bassist Paul Simonon to Afro-Cuban singer Ibrahim Ferrer) not only undercut old ideas of what it meant to be a “band,” it projected a vision that felt communal, even a little utopian, unbound by borders cultural, stylistic, or otherwise. Even when they projected dystopia, they made the future sound bright (“On Melancholy Hill”). Bands are bands. In Gorillaz, we got a living, breathing playlist. - Apple Music

She should be #1 in the "Katy Perry chart", if that's any consolation.
