Posted November 23, 2025Nov 23 16th November 2025It's Rose Gray on top, as Lotus becomes her second chart-topper in 2 years, cool dance-pop and still can't get a commercial break, sigh! That holds off the big orchestral ballad version of It's A Sin to 2 at the moment, a chart-topper on 2 previous occasions, the first in 1987, and fellow 80's popsters Soft Cell hit the top 3 for the second time with Say Hello Wave Goodbye from 1982. Rosalia grabs a first top 10 at 5, and Bjork tots up her 4th 30 years after her 3rd.Highest new entry is from The Lottery Winners, who've been a rollover for 12 months now, Your Last Song new at 63, just ahead of a fab collab between Orville Peck and Noah Cyrus, Atchafalaya very haunting Americana at 67, both of them making my chart regularly in their own right or with other acts. Keeping my loyalty card to veteran acts, Shaggy is back again with a 90's-era-sounding Boom Body, Akon on assist, and pumping reggae vibes always welcome here. One behind at 72 it's a debut for Bradford lads Bad Boys Chiller Crew, who have got Dizzee Rascal to pump up the rap vibes on 660, an exercies in how to do an exciting rap track and avoid cliches.Olly Murs is also back with some ska-tinted Madness-esque vibes, sounds great at 73, and Mysterious Girl adds to Damiano David's recent run of non-stop goodies, a track from his newly-expanded album, in at 77, ahead of Selena Gomez following up her chart-topping Sunset Blvd with In The Dark, as she plays engagingly with veteran actors on the light-hearted Only Murders In The Building on telly. Amy MacDonald hasn't charted for a while, but she is back at 79 with the uptempo I'm Done saving her from an 8-year gap, and expanding her chart span to 18 years.Miley Cyrus has a theme song to a movie or something, new at 80, Dream As One giving her a trio in the chart, Freya Ridings returns from a 6-year gap for her 3rd charting track, the very Florence-ish Wicker Woman at 82 - ironic, given Flo's current stuff is yet to trouble my chart, oops! Olivia Dean is pretty big globally but hasn't been in my charts since 2023 - Dive was her previous solo entry - so welcome to the pleasant So Easy at 84, leaving just Ella Langley to debut Choosin' Texas at 85 to sprinkle some more Country tracks into the chart.1 2 1 6 LOTUS - Rose Gray 3723502 6 2 4 IT’S A SIN (BRYCE MILLER MONSTER MIX) - Pet Shop Boys 2105003 14 3 4 SAY HELLO WAVE GOODBYE - Soft Cell 1502504 3 1 9 SECRETS - Miley Cyrus featuring Lindsey Buckingham and MickFleetwood 8977005 1 1 8 ONCE IN A LIFETIME - Talking Heads 4534506 15 6 4 BERGHAIN - ROSALIA Featuring Bjork & Yves Tumor 1067007 9 7 8 UNCONDITIONAL - JADE 2279008 4 1 11 BRAND NEW ME - Saint Etienne featuring Confidence Man 9657509 7 3 11 BACK TO FRIENDS - sombr 42070010 5 4 8 SPEAK LIKE A CHILD - The Style Council 32100011 10 7 7 SUGAR TOWN - Nancy Sinatra 22485012 8 7 6 DUST IN THE WIND - Ian Storm, Ron van den Beuken & Menno 20310013 20 13 8 WHY I CRY - MT Jones 14335014 23 14 6 TIME WILL TELL - Celeste 8635015 12 5 10 TALK TO ME - Damiano David featuring Tyla and Nile Rodgers 31395016 11 8 9 LOVIN’ YOU - Richard Ashcroft featuring Mason Williams 24050017 18 17 7 THEY - Sparks 11925018 13 1 11 DIVINE FEELINGS - Vance Joy 82000019 16 15 6 OH LORD - Foxy Shazam 13730020 25 20 5 SAVE MY LOVE (NICKY ROMERO REMIX) - Marshmello, EllieGolding & AVAION 6755021 26 21 8 DRACULA - Tame Impala 10275022 19 1 23 TOKYO RAIN - Loaded Honey 161250023 22 1 18 WALK OF FAME - Miley Cyrus featuring Brittany Howard 114695024 21 11 8 BE LIKE THAT - Seeb featuring JP Cooper 15405025 27 25 6 BEFORE YOU BREAK MY HEART - JADE 9715026 34 26 4 CHARIOT - Westlife 5465027 28 1 9 DIE WITH A SMILE - Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars 58050028 35 28 7 THE FATE OF OPHELIA - Taylor Swift 8830029 36 29 8 UFO - Reverend And The Makers 9330030 32 30 7 HELLO - Sigala x Leigh-Anne x Jonita Gandhi 7895031 46 31 4 TORCH - Soft Cell 4295032 33 32 6 TO THE MOON - Alok & ILLENIUM 6620033 24 17 11 SHE’D RATHER BE WITH ME - The Turtles 21495034 48 34 4 IN THE END - Depeche Mode 4110035 47 35 4 LITTLE SAD EYES - The Castells 4180036 17 3 11 PEOPLE NEED PEOPLE - Good Neighbours 52570037 29 1 16 THE SUBWAY - Chappell Roan 75225038 56 38 2 LIVING IN A BOX - Living In A Box 2780039 67 39 2 BANDAIDS - Katy Perry 2320040 66 40 3 GHOST - Rob Thomas 2700041 52 41 8 FIX WHAT YOU DIDN’T BREAK - Nate Smith 6360042 49 42 8 THE HAPPY DICTATOR - Gorillaz featuring Sparks 6775043 37 37 8 UNDRESSED - sombr 8300044 40 6 12 SELF CONTROL - Laura Branigan 29960045 38 30 10 ONE LAST TIME - Blue 11480046 31 1 17 12 TO 12 - sombr 76105047 43 10 13 SPACE - Ella Eyre 26260048 50 48 9 BOTTLE ROCKETS (HOLD MY HAND) - Scotty McCreery featuringHootie & The Blowfish 7400049 30 8 14 THE HIVES FOREVER FOREVER THE HIVES - The Hives 33870050 53 50 7 IF HE WANTED TO HE WOULD - Perrie 6260051 42 38 11 LOSER - Tame Impala 11390052 44 27 12 MACHINE - Rob Thomas 16790053 39 39 6 SOMETHING IN THE HEAVENS - Lewis Capaldi 6260054 58 54 7 THE LIFE OF A SHOWGIRL - Taylor Swift featuring SabrinaCarpenter 4460055 51 1 23 OVER - Loaded Honey 117320056 55 1 23 GOD ONLY KNOWS - The Beach Boys 106670057 65 57 2 TAKE ME I’M YOURS - Squeeze 1740058 60 58 9 REST EASY (IN MY LOVE) - Anne Murray 5220059 41 31 11 THE DEAD DANCE - Lady Gaga 13780060 62 60 4 MY ONLY ANGEL - Aerosmith, YUNGBLUD 2720061 78 61 2 MAKE YOUR OWN KIND OF MUSIC - Cass Elliot 1190062 72 62 4 ASKING FOR A FRIEND - Foo Fighters 2100063 NEW 63 1 YOUR LAST SONG - The Lottery Winners 720064 63 63 9 HIPPIE SUNSHINE - Kasabian 4850065 45 20 14 SINGAPORE (DEFINITIVE VERSION) - Girls Aloud 20385066 70 66 4 A PART OF YOU - Cerrone 2020067 NEW 67 1 ATCHAFALAYA - Orville Peck featuring Noah Cyrus 660068 69 3 19 HARD TO BE HAPPY - Rob Thomas 60050069 79 69 2 MY OLD WAYS - Tame Impala 1040070 71 70 3 FREE - Andrew Choi & EJAE KPop Demon Hunters 1480071 NEW 71 1 BOOM BODY - Shaggy, Akon & Aidonia 580072 NEW 72 1 660 - Bad Boy Chiller Crew featuring Dizzee Rascal & S Dog 560073 NEW 73 1 RUN THIS TOWN - Olly Murs 540074 68 68 7 FATHER FIGURE - Taylor Swift 3500075 77 75 4 LEMONADE - Louis Tomlinson 1820076 85 76 2 THE PACKAGE - De La Soul 780077 NEW 77 1 MYSTERIOUS GIRL - Damiano David 460078 NEW 78 1 IN THE DARK - Selena Gomez 440079 NEW 79 1 I’M DONE (GAMES THAT YOU PLAY) - Amy McDonald 420080 NEW 80 1 DREAM AS ONE - Miley Cyrus 400081 74 74 6 PRETTY FACE - Robbie Williams 2640082 NEW 82 1 WICKER WOMAN - Freya Ridings 360083 84 83 2 UNREQUITED - The The featuring Gillian Glover 660084 NEW 84 1 SO EASY (TO FALL IN LOVE) - Olivia Dean 320085 NEW 85 1 CHOOSIN’ TEXAS - Ella Langley 3000DROP OUTS54 20 12 WHAT I WANT - Morgan Wallen and Tate McRae 13890057 4 17 FIVE MORE SECONDS - Seafret featuring KT Tunstall 54570059 9 11 AT NIGHT - Shakedown 25800061 17 13 G.O.A.T.

November 23, 2025Nov 23 Hey John!Oooh, unconditional up to a new peak. That's brilliant so it is though that one is starting to wear thin on me now.The fate of Ophelia still climbing. No complaints from me still lol.That's a great climb for bandaids. Shocking that it didn't reach the us too 100. Ok really surprised. It's much better than woman's world too. She really should have released wonder as the last single from the last era. That might have done wonders (no pun intended) for her.Wicker woman is pretty decent and all in all I'm super surprised that it hasn't done well officially at all.Fab chart 🥳
November 23, 2025Nov 23 Hi John. Ooh off to Weymouth - I like it there though haven't been in some time. I am off work at the mo - hoorah!

Looks like she cant do anything these days to get a hit. Music fans are so fickle! Thanks for the comments and picks! 😎

My dad and mate both had that, it's very painful and looks awful, and takes a while to go away, so it's hard to enjoy or do anything while you are off! Condolences, and maybe just sit watching films or something and indulge yourself 👍Take it easy and all the best with it easing soon! Sometimes being well and at work is a good alternative to being ill, it has its uses! Weymouth is the working class resort of Dorset, it's why my family enjoy it so much and some live there - we are all from a coal mining community originally, half the family still there, the rest in Dorset/Hampshire😄Berghain is amazing - sounds fab on a fancy sound system (which I have, oo get me) 😄Jade is peaking even higher this week - twice! I aim to please! 🙂got a second wind, bangers both. Yes you're right about Olly - the ever-present problem of the maturing teenage fangirl who can move on to more sophisticated sounds, while retaining fondness for the old loves. My niece is 22 now and would go and see him live but I'm the one buying his records, and she doesnt stream his new stuff I think, oops! 😇Thanks as always for the comments and chat and all the best for feeling better soon! 😎
