  3. #15 Al Martino - Here in My Heart Debut: 14 November 1952 Peak: #1 WoC: 18 Weeks Run: 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-6-3-6-6-5-8-9-12-11 oCgmhrJtMFI So we reach the first of in excess of 94 number one songs from the 1950s to cover. Al Martino - Here in My Heart which spent 9 weeks at Number 1 - a record which only stood for just under two years, when Cara Mia by David Whitfield grabbed 10 weeks. The song was written by Pat Genevison, Lou Lorrelli and Bill Borrelli, it was published on BBS in the US - and Capitol in the UK. It would be the first of eight Top 40 hits for Al Martino - however it would be his only entry to climb to the summit. As discussed above the track denied Jo Stafford what could have been a substantial run at No 1. The song had also spent eight weeks atop the sheet music charts prior to topping the official singles chart.
  4. Welcome to the UK pal... If money can be made, money will be made and f*** everybody else.
  5. 14 Jo Stafford - You Belong To Me Debut: 14 November 1952 Peak: #1 WoC: 19 Run: 2-5-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-1-2-5-5-6-9-11-8-11-12 zQfF84ackMM A song that suffered the misfortune of being really big at the same time as Here in My Heart - although thankfully as discussed here it was able to finally climb into the record books after 9 weeks - 8 of which were at No 2 directly behind Al Martino's song. At 19 weeks it actually managed a week longer on the chart as well! The song was written by Chilton Price, with Pee Wee King and Redd Stewart credited as song-writers as they helped get the song promoted - an old minefield we'll no doubt climb into sometime far in to the future especially as the favours system moves out of song writing straight into features in later years. The song was first record by Joni James, then by numerous other artists including Patti Page, Alma Cogan, Dickie Valentine, Ted Heath and His Music and Jimmy Young - all of whom will get their entry in this list soon enough though. In later years, the song would be covered by an eclectic mix of artists including Rick Astley, Bob Dylan, Ringo Starr and Tori Amos. The last notable thing about this track is it's prominent use in the 1953 film Forbidden, however this came out long after it had dropped off the hit parade, so unlike some other songs on this list was not one of the factor's driving it's success.
  6. Glad to see this finally getting recognition it deserves

    Yeah I got that far, but it's so overprocessed you have to wonder why bother

    Well this is naff. Dead Right Now is great, the rest is pretty forgettable. One of Me is good but I can't work out what Elton's doing...
  9. I've had the opposite reaction to you to be honest. I genuinely think it's over-developed - I used to play it for years, and I think at some point they should have stopped. Maybe after the aquatic update, or one of the technical updates. Every time I take a break from playing it's like you have to learn a whole new rulebook to play - the beauty of the game in the first place was it's relative relaxing gameplay once you got over the learning curve, constantly re-introducing that learning curve doesn't work for me. Not to mention splitting a schedule update in to two, causing serious gameplay issues and leaving half-finished features in game.
  10. It's an alright song, but I can get on board with pop-orientated BMTH - it just feels like a cheap version of their best selves.
  11. Thanks - although sometimes their just isn't all that much to write. Don't joke about, I was sitting working out how long this was going to take the other day, got to the end of the 60s and gave up!! It's a long term project :lol: And yes, I think I actually prefer the next song to the one that got to No 1.
  12. Yeah I mean there's a difference between 'a criminal history' as the headline says - which could be anything, much of it not that big an issue to most people - and 'registered sex offender and done for manslaughter'.
  13. Yeah but all the people who became the biggest Wanted fans in the world but hadn't heard of Tom Parker six months ago will be buying their tickets to pose on social media. There was a really weird one a few years ago with a few metal bands where they went from barely selling out car parks to selling out Wembley Arena because the lead singer got cancer/was murdered. Folk are weird.
  14. #13 - Nat King Cole - Somewhere Along the Way Debut: 14 November 1952 Peak: #3 WoC: 7 Run: 3-6-8-12-7-6-6 Cat No: Capital 2069 iVWEeOLBc0o The first of 31 UK Top 40 hits for Nat King Cole. A timeless classic that still stands up today as well as it ever has. It was featured on '8 Top Pops' - alongside Walking My Baby Back Home, Because You're Mine and Faith Can Move Mountains. It was written by Jimmy Van Heusen with lyrics by Sammy Gallop - the latter of whom wrote the wedding song 'Wake The Town and Tell the People'.
  15. Another voice in defence of All Around the World here, great song.
  16. Maybe they've counted it's just under 40m views on YouTube as streams :dance:
  17. More out of burnout on it than anything else, just bored of it to be frank. And yeah Good Ones is a bop, wouldn't be suprised if it turned up at No 1 at some point
  18. She can't speak to people though
  19. https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/cultur...-balls-1226544/ What a headline....
  20. Those bots normally go down the viagra route to be honest. Must think we're a classy audience here at Buzzjacks. :lol:
  21. ABBA hold on to the No 1 and No 2 spots with Don't Shut Me Down and I Still Have Faith In You for a 2nd week, it's going to take something big to kick them off their perch I reckon. Leaving belting dance remix track Tell Me Something Good to settle for 3rd place despite being a genuine contender for No 1 on many other weeks, I'm sure. Elsewhere there's another new dance entry from Burns. Glass Animals follow up to Heatwaves, I Don't Wanna Talk enters in the Top 20 and there's a suprise new entry in the lower echelons at 28 for Justus Bennetts with Bad Day, a infectiously fun if not musically revolutionary song - yes it can only be a Tik Tok hit... 01 - (01) ABBA - Don’t Shut Me Down [01-01] 02 - (02) ABBA - I Still Have Faith In You [02-02] 03 - (NE) Ewan McVicar - Tell Me Something Good [03] 04 - (09) Charli XCX - Good Ones [09-04] 05 - (03) Don’t Let It Get You Down - Miles Kane [01-03-05] 06 - (04) Where Are You Now? - Lost Frequencies ft Calum Scott [01-02-04-06] 07 - (08) Cold Heart - Elton John, Dua Lipa (PNAU Remix) [09-06-08-07] 08 - (05) Fleabag - Yungblud [14-03-05-08] 09 - (15) Eskimo Callboy - We Got The Moves [15-09] 10 - (10) Stay - Kid Laroi, Justin Bieber [03-07-10-10] 11 - (NE) Burns - Talamanca [11] 12 - (NE) Glass Animals - I Don’t Wanna Talk (I Just Wanna Dance) [12] 13 - (NE) Badflower - Johnny Wants to Fight [13] 14 - (23) Change My Clothes - Dream and Alec Benjamin [06-19-23-14] 15- (06) Wallflower - Jinjer [04-06-15] 16 - (07) Assault and Batteries - Ice Nine Kills [05-07-16] 17 - (11) Torpedo - Feeder [08-11-17] 18 - (12) Runaway - R3gab x Sigala x JP Cooper [30-09-12-18] 19 - (13) Steel Commanders - Sabaton [10-13-19] 20 - (14) Deja Vu (ft Alicia Harley) - Gorillaz [11-14-20] 21 - (16) Alone Again - Asking Alexandria [31-12-16-21] 22 - (17) Feast of Fire - Trivium [28-13-17-22] 23 - (18) Timebomb - Motionless in White [14-18-23] 24 - (19) In Your Arms - Disclosure [27-15-19-24] 25 - (20) Bitter Taste - Billy Idol [29-16-20-25] 26 - (21) Lifetime - Swedish House Mafia [02-17-21-26] 27 - (22) Back From The Dead - Halestorm [13-18-22-27] 28 - (NE) Justus Bennetts - Bad Day [28-28] 29 - (24) One Missipi - Kane Brown [20-24-29] 30 - (25) Remember Their Names - Rudimental, MJ Cole, Josh Barry [08-21-25-30] 31 - (26) Writings on The Wall - Iron Maiden [04-22-26-31] 32 - (27) Talk About - Rain Radio [12-23-27-32] 33 - (28) Bedroom Eyes - The Knocks [05-24-28-33] 34 - (29) Chasing Stars ft James Bay - Alesso and Marshmello [25-29-34] 35 - (30) Bad Habits - Ed Sheeran [16-26-30-35] 36 - (31) Industry Baby - Lil Nas X, Jack Harlow [10-27-31-36] 37 - (32) Hot Air Balloon - Don Diablo ft AR/Co [28-32-37] 38 - (33) All Things $ Can Do - Cheat Codes (ft Travis Barker and Tove Strike) [19-29-33-38] 39 - (34) Leave Before You Love Me - Marshmello & Jonas Brothers [20-30-34-39] 40 - (35) Don’t You Hold Me Down - Alan Walker & Georgia Ku [31-35-40] OUT 36 - (36) Remember - Becky Hill, David Guetta [ 21-32-36] 37 - (37) I Guess I’m Love - Clinton Kane [24-33-37] 38 - (38) Pollyanna - Green Day [34-38] 39 - (39) I Wanna Love You But I Don’t - Ben Platt [15-35-39] 40 - (40) Happier Than Ever - Billie Eilsh [07-36-40]

  23. And so we play catch up. #12 - Frankie Laine - High Noon (Do Not Forsake Me) Debut: 14 November 1952 Peak: #7 WoC: 7 Run: 7-7-11-11-9-12-12 9wmq5FLz5ss Theme song from the 1952 film High Noon. Although Tex Ritter did the version actually in the film
  24. Just seen this at 98 in this weeks chart update, it came out months ago but maybe this is the musical compromise answer to the battle between declining rap and drill and rising dance that seems to be the recent trend since the middle of 2019? Roadman drum and bass? y3Ko9pP6XAY?
  25. They should be vaccinated, but there's no way it should be done in school. It should be opt-in as it is for adults and done at normal vaccination centres.
