He'd still be behind Taylor and RAYE who are on for resets, so he'd still have a way to go I think, though it's not impossible!

Biography

Celtic-punk band The Pogues rose to prominence in the ’80s on the strength of raucous live shows and the poetic soul of Kent-born Irish vocalist Shane MacGowan. The latter was a vital vocal interpreter—witness his melancholy turn on Ewan MacColl’s “Dirty Old Town”—and crafted lyrics about deeply flawed characters (the toxic couple of “Fairytale of New York”) and the bittersweet nature of life (the hard-living bar denizens in "Sally MacLennane" and the nostalgic narrators of “A Pair of Brown Eyes”, both found on 1985’s Elvis Costello–produced Rum Sodomy & the Lash). MacGowan never lost sight of the humanity beneath the surface, which gave his music great depth. The Pogues parted ways with him in the early ’90s over his erratic behaviour but continued on as a band, earning a modest global hit in 1993 with the jangly “Tuesday Morning”. However, the story had a happy ending: in 2001, MacGowan enjoyed a well-deserved victory lap with The Pogues, touring with them on and off until 2014. - Apple Music

Kirsty MacColl

This has had a sudden and welcome resurgence aftwr some years floppin!!!

Wow... Normally it'd be 81 mins in on a normal week, but now this week, we're 141 minutes in

sad to see Pogues not in the top 5 this year but I'm very happy to see Lullaby in their place

So who's out of the top 40, Elton or Haven?

'Fairytale Of New York' proving yet again you can't keep a truly popular song down *.*
