That's an expensive single.

Looks like Sam Fender could be in with a top 5 shout tomorrow. Excellent. Noticed a lot of love for the live version of Meet Me At Our Spot, if they can get that on streaming might give that a bigger boost as well.

Builds hype. Reality is probably lower preorder numbers so by not realising them you don't get 'Adele lags behind ABBA opening week' headlines

It's an okay version but nothing is ever gonna come close to Hull's version.

That would be fine if it was December, last year Christmas songs were flying in in November. You seem to be glossing over the fact that 17 Going Under also sits behind ArDee..... :rolleyes:

There's a video of her singing it on youtube, I'm assuming this is what you're on about? gpzmn4ZoB5k

#32 Mills Brothers - Glow Worm Debut: 15 January 1953 Peak: 10 WoC: 1 Chart Run: 10 fi9XFSKMaVQ The Mills Brothers were an American traditional pop quarter of the 30s, 40s and 50s, but they were far more successful in the US, this being their only UK hit single, and spending a single week in the chart. Their most notable achievement being becoming the first African American act to have US No 1 on Billboard with Paper Doll in 1943. This is mainly down to their prime era being in the immediate pre-war and immediate post-war era, and they were notably over in England just before war was declared - having to get out of the country quickly they took a boat to Australia - the only one they could get and returned to the US via South America.

Meet Me At Our Spot is climbing well by the looks of it, would be nice to have that in the chart for a while if it can hold off Christmas Armageddon.

Nobody, that's why we want them off the official chart.

How come the 2013 song Riptide by Vance Joy is so high on spotify?

Apparently there's voice pops of her bairn on it. Why do artists feel the need to do this shit.

It's Adele - the industry darling. Nobody's gonna dare say it's her usually bland oversung trash

You could run the chart all year round and include any song over a certain age in it if it resurged. Top 40 Official Chart Top 40 Resurgant Chart

I really wish the OCC would compile a separated chart for Christmas songs.

The chart site seems to have had a big makeover and a few prominent login notices about copyright and distribution of data on the sites, not sure what effect those notices will have on this site, but admins/mods might wanna read them.

Seen as these two have entered next to eachother on the countdown we might as well post them together. #30 Nat King Cole - Faith Can Move Mountains Debut: 2 January 1953 Peak: 10 WoC: 4 Chart Run: 11 (B) 10-10 (B) 10 GVchcNt9610 #31 Jimmy Young - Faith Can Move Mountains Debut: 9 January 1953 Peak: 11 WoC: 1 Chart Run: 11 dU0bOmBiYSM A song already covered here thanks to Johnnie Ray having the first hit with it on the UK Singles Chart so I won't rehash stuff on the song's composition (which there's isn't much of to start with). We're still in the era where a good song would get passed around to every man under the sun to try and score a decent number with. Jimmy Young is by no means a poor singer but Nat's version of this absolutely knocks his and Johnnie Ray's out of the park, and it's a good thing to see unlike many other American hits of the era Nat's actually got the credited it deserved in the UK. Nat King Cole's singing is better than either of the other two, as demonstrated by his enduring global popularity and recognition all these years later.

If the last bit is true, what a c**t

#29 Eddie Fisher - Outside of Heaven CQCmyYjp6IU Debut: 2 January 1953 Peak: #1 WoC: 17 Chart Run: 12-6-4-2-1-3-2-2-2-3-3-4-2-9-7-7 (B) 12 The 4th UK No 1 is this pop song by Eddie Fisher with the Hugo Winterhalter Orchestra. An incredibly romantic and somewhat sad song about a man watching his true love going out with another man, it enjoy a prolonged stay on the UK chart and the first of two UK number ones for Fisher. It would remain on the singles chart all the way through the first quarter of the year and a little bit beyond, as mentioned peaking at No 1. It would back for a much shorter one week run afterwards. It performed much better in the UK than the US where it peaked a No 8. It was written by Sammy Gallop and Chester Conn -

Seems like people aren't quite as in the Christmas mood yet as last year. Maybe less people stuck at home? Honestly think anyone who plays a Christmas song before 1 December should be shot, but that's just me.

Oh dear, i'm spending too much time here.

#28 Tony Brent - Make It Soon Debut: 2 January 1952 Peak: #9 WoC: 7 Chart Run: 12-11-9-9 (B) 10-9-12 hWytLNME1qA The second of seven hits on this chart for Tony Brent. It's a nice enough song, if a bit dated even for the time it came out. According to Wikipedia, he was ridiculously popular in Sri Lanka and South Asia, which might make some sense with his Asian heritage but the only other source in English I found for this is an 11 year old wordpress blog mentioning Radio Ceylon and a few amazon reviews so take that with a pinch of salt.

Honestly don't really like Dave's kind of music, but looking impartially I think his album is probably the far more innovative and talented work of the two.

I don't think nominating songs you haven't heard is particularly in the spirit of the thread.
