john v's always late charts: 30th Nov 2025, it's an 80's classic on top for the first time...

30th November 2025

It's been 43 years pending but Say Hello Wave Goodbye finally passes it's 1982 number 2 peak to give Soft Cell a 3rd number one, and Marc Almond a 6th - it had a go in the 90's with a lesser re-recording, but the original rightly returns for the honour. That mean their Purple mates Pet Shop Boys drop to 2, with only Orville Peck cracking the top 10 on the haunting Atchafalaya, his previous highest being with Kylie, while Noah Cyrus is on her 4th top 10 and joins sis Miley one place higher for now. Miley has had 4 top 10's just this year though!

Rob Thomas climbs with Ghost to 12, but he has the time to do a new video for the 2010 Train Christmas song Shake Up Christmas, so that returns to my charts at 71, along with other christmas oldies that came over very well at the That'll Be The Day 3 hour christmas song extravaganza on Wednesday: Greg Lake is highest at 49, as I Believe In father Christmas turns 50 years old, and I bought it for a Xmas present to myself. Co-written by Pete Sinfield, Prog-rocker too, and also full-time songwriter for Bucks Fizz and many more in latter days. He did the cynically wonderful lyrics. Greg has topped my charts over Xmas at least 5 times, and charted at least a dozen times, so this will be number 13. Oh, it's also the greatest christmas record ever.

One of the candidates to challenge thats statement above is also back, at 67, but it only topped my charts once - in the 90's - but this is it's 14th appearance. Stop The Cavalry is also back again for Jona Lewie, the 8th time in 45 years. The final track done in the show was a hit over Christmas, but not an actual Xmas song - and it's one that pre-dates my charts, but I loved the classical tune as a kid, so in comes A Lover's Concerto by The Toys as it approaches 60 years old.

MT Jones meanwhile grabs a second slot on the chart with some more Marvin Gaye-esque soul, Blue is the highest new song to debut as they also grab a second on the list and are being at their most consistently good for 25 years. Annalisa debuts a dance goodie, and The Damned are back covering Pink Floyd's See Emily Play - they've always been good with hippie-era cool anthems, and this returns them for the first time in a whopping 38 years, and increases their chart span to 46 years, though Captain Sensible has charted in between.

Hi John!

Nice to see the new peaks for "Dracula", "Hello", "The Fate Of Ophelia", "Living In A Box", "Bandaids", "Bottle Rockets", "Lemonade", "Dream As One", "In The Dark", "Choosin' Texas" and "Wicker Woman", the big gains for "My Old Ways", "You Can Get If You Really Want", "Run This Town and "I'm Done" and the debuts for "Fairytale Of New York" and "Esibizionista".

Great chart!

Hey John!

A new peak for the fate of Ophelia 😮 is it approaching it's final peak for you yet? Or is there still quite a lot of growing happening?

A good climb for bandaids,no complaints for me. I'm really quite enjoying it.

Nice chart 🥳

Hi SSP!

Thanks for all the picks! 🤩Thanks for the wishes for Richard, he was a great singer, and that bangin dance tune had some rifftastic guitar in it too. I almost charted their other personal chart number one, Room In Your Heart, thats a nice soul-styled oldie. I wish I was on the right side of 40 years old! 😄

Hi AH! 🙂

All good ta, just finishing off Xmas next 2 days so I can fly off to GC for 2 weeks on Monday, no doubt loads of xmas songs there, good to hear you are improving, heroic work efforts or not! 😄Not long till relaxing can be a thing! 👍

Playing the othe Rosalia track, string quartet-style intro unexpected! Nice.... OOh good to hear Greg will chart next week, 50 years ago I was literally getting the bus into Lincoln to buy the single as the anticipation of Jaws at the cinema was building! 😲Kudos to your dad liking Jona Lewie, it sounded pretty good on the That'll Be The Day show last week, it never dates because it was already dated when it came out as a sort of throwback Brass Band track.

Thanks as ever for the comprehensive list and an early Merry Christmas! in case my chart is late next week - weather permitting on the beach most days I expect! 😎

cheers! 😎

My Greatest Christmas hit :

That's quite nice, but I must say the Cabin Crew on the flights I go on don't look like that single cover sleeve, they are usually more Orange Varnished and looking a bit tired! 😄

Hey John!

A new peak for the fate of Ophelia 😮 is it approaching it's final peak for you yet? Or is there still quite a lot of growing happening?

A good climb for bandaids,no complaints for me. I'm really quite enjoying it.

Nice chart 🥳

Hey James! 🙂

I'm still peaking on Ophelia but there's a lot of fresher new ones (and old ones, what with Christmas and old pop stars dying at an alarming rate) shoving it down a bit this week. Same with Bandaids, in a normal chart year where I have 75 not 85 battling it out, they would both be more like top 10 by now - I certainly like them as much as if they were lower top 10. 🥰

Thanks for the comments! Cheers! 😎
