Read the title as Greg Davies and wondered if novelty songs were becoming hip again :lol:

This is sarcasm surely, if not go listen to the song.

I really hope she does go the same week as ABBA just to watch the insanity unfold.

Cool to see, but by god do we live in strange times. :dance:

Die4u at 36 on the Chart Update, guessing that won't hold up though?

What annoys me here is the circular logic, the government are refusing to bail out 'failing companies' but those companies are failing due to the energy price cap. Whilst I understand the idea of wanting to reduce bills for consumers, I don't think you can really artificially deflate prices to avoid a political difficulty of rising bills and then talk about failing companies. In a normal competitive market without restriction these companies may have eventually been eating up by bigger companies in this situation but here their being eaten up by government policy. The big question is obviously whether the same principle will be applied to the Big Five if one of them ends up in this situation.

#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.

Welcome to the UK pal... If money can be made, money will be made and f*** everybody else.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

I mean it might be that BTS don't want to anger Ed too much, after all he does write for them.

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'.

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.

#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'.

Another voice in defence of All Around the World here, great song.

Maybe they've counted it's just under 40m views on YouTube as streams :dance:

It has been. https://www.fundsforbts.uk/

Oh how the BTS stans are going to cry when their fund can't match a genuinely popular artist...
