John V's 14th June 2026 charts - another oldie on top, but is it Hot Choc or Jackson 5...?

Featured Replies

14th June 2026

It's a fourth early 70's chart-topper for Hot Chocolate in 2026, and their 10th in total, putting them equal with T.Rex in the top 20 list of Number Ones - Emma went top 10 in 1974 for me, but didn't have a long chart run. The very dark lyrics worked against it I think, but that guitar crescendo still hits me. Jungle leap-frog themselves as The Wave peaks top 5 so far compared to Carry On's 13. It's their 5th top 10 since Busy Earnin' did it 12 years ago.

Reverend and The Makers make it 2 in the top 10 as they tot up 10 top 10's in 19 years, as Appleton bound into the top 30 as highest climber and just 4 new entries lets me reduce the chart length to 95. The highest is Carly Simon, veteran singer-songwriter of 54 years and counting, who returns with a great song Howl, in at 78 and her first chart entry since 1989's Let The River Run. It's been almost 2 decades since she dropped a new album.

3 other veterans also return this week, Cheryl and Jay of The Fizz, with the 2 new boys, keep the Buck Fizz chart span going at 45 years as A Crazy Shot In The Dark conjures up 1981 vibes at 93. Madonna meanwhile is on her 4th of 2026, with Love Sensation at 92, and her 3rd on the chart this week, as she extends her chart run to 42 years. Relative youngsters The Backstreet Boys rack up 30 years of charting with a movie soundtrack song, Bottle Up at 95, and their first new material charter in 7 years.

Hi there John!

Nice to see "Emma" at the top, a classic still played on German Oldies Radio stations, I also like "The Wave" gain huge into the top 5, the new Peaks for "Mr. Know It All", "Bring Your Love", "Little More Time", "More!

Hi Sergej! 🙂

Ooh glad to hear Emma is still popular in Germany, it rarely gets played in the UK as it's "too depressing" and radio prefers upbeat songs! 😮Thanks as always for the climber picks!

cheers! 😎

Hello Jordan! hi

Hope all is fab with you! 👍Thanks for the picks and comments! Go sounds great, I dont know why I didnt buy it first time round TBH, though the film spot helps make it more powerful and noticeable! 😮

Teddy Swims is class, still knocking out great songs and performances 🤩On The Floor sounding great, ah those were the days when fun dance music was a thing! Headlights is more of a grower, I think, so no chance of getting radio plays in the UK, booooo! Backstreet Boys I had the same reaction 😄Paw Patrol? The 7-year-old in the house loves the TV show, so I thought "bound to be child-appealing" 🙄It's more nostalgia-90's appealing I think so there for the mums and dads 😄

Cheers! 😎

Hey James! 🙂

Thanks for the picks and comments! More More More I need to be in the right mood for, and the weather has been pushing 100 in old temperatures (we have no AC) so big bangers need cooler weather to have more impact! 😄It's getting cooler now that'll help 😃Glad you liked The Fizz track, old Eurovision faithfuls there! 🤩

Hope all is fab! Cheers! 😎

Hi AH!🙂

Glad you had fun going out, always worth the effort, even if it means cleaning up a toilet. At the very least it makes for a great anecdote at future family occasions when you bring it up. Much like your sister did! 😄I have several tucked away I can trawl out as a reminder when others start to complain about the younger folk behaviour 😇Your workplace has no AC? EEK! About time they had a maximum temp for workplaces! Sitting and freezing is a no-no but passing out from heat is fine...?!

Thanks for all the picks and comments! Back up to bloody 100 again this week, tch, it takes ages to get through 100 songs. I can't help myself, it's like an addiction! 😄Glad you rate Emma and Jungle. That Madonna does sound like Get Together now you mention it, but if she's going to repeat herself might as well pick a great era! I'd noticed The Fizz in the sales chart, I thought it was down to the vinyl release of the single, but not heard that remix. Hang on a mo while I check it out...and now I notice that "daaaark" key change (?) sounds like the bit on My Camera Never Lies on "Liiiieeees". Nice remix, yes, though I will stick with the original single version, as I tend to 😄

Thanks again, and cheers! 😎
