nice fresh song this 'Ordinary'

genuinely the first time I've heard it, amazing what can happen when you don't listen to radio

Looking forward to a week without “Ordinary” next week before it’s back for most of next year no doubt.

Coming back to top 5 in January 😂

I mean it had no business spending so long at #1, but it’s nice enough

Biography

In the first half of the 1970s, Slade were the cornerstone of the glam-rock movement in the UK. Their penchant for heavy guitars meshed seamlessly with their knack for pop hooks and Noddy Holder's archetypal hard-rock vocal style, resulting in countless British hit singles and albums. By 1975, they had even starred in their in own film, the cult classic FLAME. The band had an unexpected comeback in the '80s with GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY POWER SUPPLY, which even broke through to the US, where Slade had never made much of a mark before. The band proved highly influential to both punk and heavy metal, but broke up in the early '90s, with the genial Holder subsequently becoming a UK TV personality. - Apple Music

This track is losing popularity looking at the chart runs for this one.

I don't think it's necessarily a case of simply losing popularity, more that it's not getting high placings on playlists.

And then gets an unfortunate brit reset probably 😅

😭😭😭😭 The fact it’s likely to happen

Another Spotify playlist defier, if we count the Flush remix in 1998 this is its 20th year in the Top 40!

Christmas is official.
ITS NODDY!

I think this might be the ultimate 'tinsel' Christmas Song. Its ALL Tinsel

Slade have an impressive chart history!

Slade another victim of Spotify Xmas playlists, I fear. This definitely used to be the Alpha Xmas song back in the 90s.

If the FM transmitter I have buzzes out, I already have the songs in this chart elsewhere from different sources.

But still, playing all 40 songs on the show - that is a rarity today!

Loved this since I was a kid

This! Would be HUGE each year if streaming supported it.

Slade, Wizzard and Mariah. The Holy Trinity of 90s/00s Christmas.

And a bit of the Jackson 5 but you never see them anymore.

Biography

It didn’t take long for Michael Bublé to start getting the Sinatra comparisons. And in some ways, they made sense: Like Sinatra, Bublé was an old-fashioned entertainer, the kind of singer who weighed his success in part by how well he connected with the crowd. But where Sinatra exuded swagger and masculinity, Bublé was soft and humble, a fisherman’s son from British Columbia who could swing if he wanted but tended more toward ballads and delicate adult-contemporary pop. Did the ladies love him? Of course! He’s Michael Bublé. He might be carrying a torch, but he’s lighting his own way. Born in 1975 in Burnaby, just east of Vancouver, Bublé fell in love with jazz and standards after being turned on by his grandfather, an Italian-born plumber who later offered his services to clubs to fix their pipes in exchange for putting a teenage Bublé onstage. As his star grew, his range broadened, balancing straight takes on classics like “Stardust” and “All of Me” with polished contemporary pop (“Home,” “Haven’t Met You Yet,” and “Nobody But Me”), creating a sound that was immediate, romantic, elevated but accessible. And like his heroes (not just Sinatra, but Dean Martin, Tony Bennett, and a generation of American entertainers), Bublé got his Christmas album (2011’s Christmas) and a string of TV specials (buble!). In 2013, he gave an impromptu a cappella performance in the New York City subway. That, he said, is when you know you’ve made it. A stretch, but if his voice doesn’t get you, his charm will. - Apple Music

Michael Bublé

'Holly Jolly Christmas' becomes the first song to spend 25 weeks in the Top 40 without going Top 20!

Wish this was the most popular song from the Buble album and not the dreary It's Beginning...
