Taylor, Dua Lipa definitely in the top 5 - possibly Madonna, Kylie and *wildcard* Kate Bush? Rihanna and Beyonce top 10 too. EDIT - although looking at previous rates, could be way out. Britney is like massive on Buzzjack and no disrespect but I wouldn't say she features in the greatest of all time normally.

'Don't Stop Me Now' is difficult to judge on its own merits its been so ruined but agreed with Popchartfreak that it was never a good song. Great 'The Show Must Go On' is still there!

Yep going to be exciting moving towards the business end of proceedings!

And of course our plain evil right wing media are going on about "woke" leftist civil servant elite forcing out Ministers because of political differences and Brexit. Although if that was the case why focus mainly on Raab and not other of the right wing but non bullying Ministers. Stupid twats :rolleyes:

This is absolutely awesome! Go David

This sounds so much like commercial radio Please no!

Oliver Dowden the new Deputy PM :nocheer: - he's got a habit of saying really nasty far right stuff, although was one of the first people that resigned against Johnson and brought his PMship down.

Actually I got it wrong and pleased that I did - the vile creep with zero talent has actually resigned.

Lol Jane Mcdonald is (disappointingly?), surprisingly cred for ChartJack2's 30 points. Was expecting someone like Nadia Almada, Katie Price or queen Sophie Lawrence. Guess they're all coming later though...

Oh if you believe Sunak will sack him I've got a bridge to China. Will be like Patel, a crappy non apology with business as usual. Plus Right Wing papers attacking "snowflake" civil servants.

Hylda and Arthur actually released a whole album of covers including no fewer than 3 Boney M tracks. According to Spotify figures all apart from the single have had less than a 1000 plays.....

So only April and 3 no.1s decided by CD singles. Noughties all over again!

If it wasn't for Chartjack2 I think it was a very safe bet that I would have eventually died never having the "pleasure" of hearing that cover of 'You're the one that I Want'. I had heard of it via the Guiness books of hit singles for several years mind.

Yikes why didn't I vote for FKA Twigs? Guess because I didn't click that she had a top 40 hit but her 'Magdalene' album is one of the best albums of all time. I really loved 'You Broke Me First' - one of those forever associated with pandemic tracks, dark and vengeful. Can't believe how young Tate was then.

Although of course if Stranglers 'Golden Brown' had made no.1, that would have been an extremely controversial no.1 due to the subject matter of the song - heroin (although not referred to by name).

'Hammer to Fall' nothing groundbreaking but very catchy'. Slightly disappointed 'Seven Seas of Rhye' so low - love that swirling piano although the 'Oh I do like to be by the seaside' ending is a bit naff. 'I Want it All' do love the heaviness on it.

Great to have 2 new entries in the top 3 - and quite like that David Kushner track, very Hozier sounding. Shame that the actual Hozier track despite an extremely strong Spotify start only spent 3 weeks in the top 40 in the end.

'Laura', 'Trophy' and 'Two Planets' are my favourites, she certainly deserved massive success (especially her 'Two Suns' album) but never quite managed it.

Lol, I was being (semi) sarcastic - it certainly was a strange song though. Mind you everything about Iggy was/is a bit strange.

Yes a lot of left leaning figures I look at have noticeably stopped posting in past few days on Twitter. Moving to Substack?

'Work' was an avant garde rap masterpiece. Not that keen on her other stuff.

Considering 'Shape of You' is one (if not THE depending on how you calculate) of the biggest "selling" songs of all time there is remarkable lack of love for it even within an Ed Sheeran rate.

I'm going slightly Mad' is quite heartbreaking when you know that Freddie was going through the late stages of AIDS at time of release. They had to shoot the video in black and white so his illness wasn't too visible. :(

I must admit surprised that GGG is high as no.9 officially when it's current no.52 on Spotify and not in Apple top 40. Are there lots of other versions or is it higher % of premium streams?

Poor Raye couldn't manage it despite no.1 single, rave reviews, public goodwill and a huge promo blitz so a no.1 album does have some currency
