It's 2 weeks on top for Cast as Free Love holds of a leap from Rosalia on the lovely Reliquia to 2, out-peaking Berghain to boot, while another leap from Alan Walker & co to 6, means Broken Strings makes it 8 top 10's for Alan. Highest new entry is from Yonaka, a 5th chart entry in 9 years, with Trouble Follows at 26 and out-peaking two previous tracks already. CHVRCHES meanwhile cover Robert Palmers' Addicted To Love and drop in at 50, it's a really good version, removing all the bombast of the original and re-imagining it tastefully.

The Rev. Al Green has a surprise new EP of covers out, and, being one of my all-time fave singers, two tracks debut on the chart - To Love Somebody is a 60's Bee Gees great that was first given a soul twist by Nina Simone in 1969, and has been covered successfully in any number of genres since, but Al goes back to basics using the format he perfected in 1972 with his cover of How Can You Mend A Broken Heart, another Bee Gees song that meant little in the UK but was huge in the USA. Al is still in fine voice, and if we can't have new songs then this and Perfect Day, in a collab with Raye, will do nicely, that's in at 65, giving Al a 55-year chart span - there aren't many acts that can beat that: The Beatles can, but that is sort of old material revamped as opposed to new recordings. Ditto The Rolling Stones remix/mash-up, and Mungo Jerry's recent revamp. Mick Fleetwood, as part of Fleetwood Mac, can though, 57 years and 2 months on his Miley Cyrus assist. Al has charted in the 70's, 80's 90's, 00's, so this is his 5th decade.

Robbie Williams has a new album out, Britpop, to go with 3 singles previewed ahead of it, and is bound to give him the record number of UK album chart-toppers ahead of The Beatles, and two of the tracks crop in here, the very Oasis-sounding All My Life at 80, and the more quirky-singalong Morrissey at 73 - that ought to be the next single but they've gone safe with the Oasis wannabe for now. Yet another comeback from the 90's at 70 as Appleton re-live the Perfect Shores-era of All Saints on Falling Into You, their first charter since 2003, so that's a whopping 22 years and a bit away. It's quite good though, and they keep up Shaznay's recent great stuff. Oh, and now a chart span of 29 years.

Rob Thomas gets a 4th solo outing in 6 months, Hand In My Hand in at 71 as he adds a year to chart spans of 28 years. PNAU team up with Troye Sivan for some Aussie chart action on You Know What I Need, 14 years of ongoing chart success, for PNAU, not including Empire Of The Sun 17 years if we do, and even longer if we include side-projects including a few chart-toppers and stuff for Elton John amongst many. Troye has been charting for 4 years, a lot of stuff in collabs. That leaves Chicane for last, new at 79 with Wherever I Go, Moya on vocal assist. Chicane has been occasionally bothering my rundowns since 1999, in quite a variety of singing partners and styles.

Vanilla Ninja (possibly you remember their Eurovision entry) will try to win Estonian pre-selection with "Too Epic To Be True".

Hi there!

Nice to see the new peaks for "Mysterious Girl", "Church", "Dive Into The Ocean", "Esibizionista", "Choosin' Texas", "I'm Done (Games That You Play)", "Save My Soul", "Embers", "Gone Gone Gone", "Turn The Lights Off" and "Galaxy", the big gains for "Fix What You Didn't Break", "End Of Beginning" and "I Just Might" and the debuts for "Addicted To Love" and "You Know What I Need".

Great chart!

Take care.

Fantastic chart as always ❤️


Wow - still several christmas songs in your charts - feels a bit like Winter in July. Wondering whether Rosalia will go #1 next week.

Great to see new peak positions for Damiano David, Ella Langley, Bruno Mars, Fatboy Slim, Stephen Sanchez, Madonna and David Guetta 😁

Also good seeing new debuts for Chvrches, Robbie Williams and Chicane 😁

"A Lover's Concerto" by The Toys is such a forgotten classic! I remember it being a staple on "oldies"/"classic" radio as recently as the late 90's/early 2000's, but it's become so obscure now, sadly!

Hi Alex, I dont remember Vanilla Ninja (I dont remember most old Eurovision songs!) but I like the Eurovision entry, a bop, I expect I liked it at the time 🙂

72 75 72 1 LA BAMBOLA - Madonna 10600

74 78 74 3 GONE GONE GONE - David Guetta, Teddy Swims, Tones and I 13800

75 NEW 75 1 YOU KNOW WHAT I NEED - PNAU featuring Troye Sivan 5000 is this a new track? I know they've collaborated before but can't remember if it was with this song.

76 79 76 3 TURN THE LIGHTS OFF - Kato featuring Jon 13000

78 80 78 2 GALAXY - Kungs & Theophilus London 8400

79 NEW 79 1 WHEREVER I GO - Chicane featuring Moya 4200 ❤️ ooh a lovely surprise to see this enter. His best in many years in my opinion. Turns out Moya is none other than Maire Brennan from Clannad who, of course, was on Saltwater.

Fantastic chart as always ❤️


Hi AH!🙂

Still stuff to do, ta, like packing and online entry applications to finish, but I'm trying to get charts sorted early so I can hopefully do one late next week! 😎Thanks for the picks and comments, and well done on playing Rosalia at work, I get the same response, some people just don't like new formats....!😄Ooh I didnt know Kylies Xmas song was going universal, that may well help it intrude into the mainstream next christmas assuming it gets playlisted while it still avoids ACR. Fingers-crossed!

Poor Jade has had quite a few bleedingly-obvious big hits that haven't done well. At this stage it's hard to think what she can do to change that, other than drag a big name onto a special revamp! The pop biz is SO fickle. 😮Yes I did hear that Ghost version, it's not bad - the song is pretty indestructible I think, I bet it works in any number of genres. PNAU was listed as a new release last week so I assume it's new - I don't remember hearing it before at any rate - which means nothing! Moya is Maire, who knew! I need to add an aka onto the credit in case I ever do a Clannad Top 10 charted tracks! 🙂

Thanks as always! Hope work is tickety-boo! 😎

Wow - still several christmas songs in your charts - feels a bit like Winter in July. Wondering whether Rosalia will go #1 next week.

Hi DaTilt, hah I like that Winter In July Reference, I will be doing Summer in February next week but that doesnt roll off the tongue the same way as Bomb The Bass! 🙂Rosalia, a good call 👍

cheers! 😎

Great to see new peak positions for Damiano David, Ella Langley, Bruno Mars, Fatboy Slim, Stephen Sanchez, Madonna and David Guetta 😁

Also good seeing new debuts for Chvrches, Robbie Williams and Chicane 😁

"A Lover's Concerto" by The Toys is such a forgotten classic! I remember it being a staple on "oldies"/"classic" radio as recently as the late 90's/early 2000's, but it's become so obscure now, sadly!

Hi SSP!

Thanks for all the picks, and for picking up on A Lover's Concerto, actual classical/pop crossover with a fab melody, always a fave when I was a little kid, and yes I used to hear it on oldies stations in Florida in the 90's and over here, but so many 60's tracks have been dropped as not "target audience" anymore 🙄😇I caught it in a live show of hits from the 50's to the 80's, and it sounded good! So I charted it very late in th day! 😄

cheers! 😎
