13th September 2026

It's 4 weeks on top for Jungle, the longest run for 18 months, and Madonna & Kylie hit a new peak of 3 as Jungle get another top 10 hit at 8 (Where Are You Now?) and Madonna at 10 (Danceteria), while both acts have several other tracks from the new albums climbing lower down. I think it's fair to say I'm a fan of both. Dagny has a huge climb to 13 with Rain, Madonna not with Rain but Fragile at 25. She had a top 10 with Rain in the 90's! A different one.

Martin Garrix leapfrogs himself at 28 and 29, U2 over Madonna, while Madonna is also leapfrogged by Fragile. Confused? New entries from country duo Dan + Shay on their very tuneful and acoustic guitar-riffing Marry Me, I hear hints of golden oldie Ventura Highway, America's 1972 hit as sampled by Janet Jackson for Someone To Be My Lover in the 2000's. New at 67, with Rogue Traders debuting at 72 a great electric guitar riff on the Dannii Minogue-guesting dance track Dirty Dirty Disco. Not the first time the Minogue sisters have featured in the same chart, though the last time was a duet between the pair. Dannii has been knocking 'em off for 35 years or so.

Talking of Disco, Freemasons revive a Solange remix, Sandcastle Disco, which has never charted before for a second Freemasons revamp on the chart, at 75 ahead of Take That's new collab with Michael Patrick Kelley. No idea either, but it's been 35 years of take That as well as Dannii's. Pop banger. At 85 Inspiral Carpets make it a third chart return of the year and 2nd on the chart (see 41) with Touching From A Distance Too Far underlining they are pretty fine around 35 years on too. Ditto Cast, in at 86, though John Powers can also brag The La's as far back as 1989. Calling Out Your Name is as singalong as ever.

That leaves Miley Cyrus' new banger Bass Persuades at 89, she's never far from my charts 20 years on from Hannah Montana, and just behind at 90 Al Jardine becomes the first ex-original Beach Boy not called Brian Wilson to chart a song, and it's the very Kokomo-ish Caribbean-sounding Islands In The Sun. Very nice too, and that makes Al the current longest-charting act of all-time in my charts as The Beach Boys' Do It Again was at number 2 in my first chart exactly 58 years ago. Yes I was very young when I started compiling charts because the real UK charts were in the wrong order, I thought. Sigma return with guest vocalist America Foster on the summer-ish Watchin' U sampling those Althia & Donna Uptown Top Ranking vibes at 91, Nothing But Thieves are back again with Baby Kool (Evelyn) at 90 and at 100 it's a return for Faouzia with Unethical trying for some Rosalia vibes.

6th September 2026 Rollover chart

including bonus previous "sales" data for oldies in brackets, excluding old million sellers as I still hope to get back to doing those! I was on a coach tour for Estonia (Tallinn and Tartu), Latvia (Riga) and Lithuania (Vilius and a nearby castle/village). Historic old town areas, much destroyed by centuries of invaders, not least the inhuman Nazi & KGB forces committing atrocities, but much still impressive as they all re-build decades of damage. There were many soldiers here and there, just as well given the drone alarm that went off at 12.20 am on the last day before a military plane intercepted it.

Hi DaTilt!

Thanks for the picks and comments, I need Faouzia to grow on me I think, it's quite unusual, but I always appreciate unusual! 🙂

Hey Seltin!,

Thanks for the picks, Miley is def a grower, had it up loud in the car today! Rose Gray is my Record of 2026 so far, I think!!

cheers! 😎

Hey Freaky,

Cool surge for RAIN by Dagny this week!💪 Happy to see her in the Top 20 with this work🤩, my former runner-up😊 Just bought tickets to her concert this January😋

NO MORE REGRETS - almost monday is great thing. Delicate is also excellent- my former top 10 hit🤟

BLUE DREAM from Holly Humberstone is one of her best songs for me so far❤️ But I think she will surprise us even more with the next album😉

Hey John!

Jumping straight to your newest chart, it's amazing to see club to your arms doing so well still. I am so enamoured by it.

Yass Carly, finally moving some. She's took her sweet ass time lol.

Bass persuades is pretty good. It could have been really something special but it is missing that spark isn't it.

Fab stuff 🥳
