Chartfridays

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

She can't speak to people though

Thank god for the album chart to give us something unpredictable to concentrate on while the single chart domination of Ed Sheeran continues.

Those bots normally go down the viagra route to be honest. Must think we're a classy audience here at Buzzjacks. :lol:

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]

Batshit

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

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?

69 for Tell Me Something Good, this is coming for the Top 40.

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.

This honestly just sounds like what Germany should have sent to Eurovision.

Absolutely loving this, shame Heat Waves is having a rebound as they release this as I think it would have a real chance of Top 40.

Amazing, that songs been on repeat in my house for about a week.

Yes I did, the missing track is High Noon (Do Not Forsake Me) by Frankie Laine, I'll add it to tonight's update. That should get us back on track.

Two for the price of one today as we missed yesterday. #10 Guy Mitchell - Feet Up (Pat Him on the Po Po) Debut: 14 November 1952 Peak: #2 WoC: 10 Run: 5-2-5-5-4-4-4-4-5-7 noj9p4wnhPQ This a fairly self-explanatory song the lyrics are about a good-for-nothing lowlife putting his life in order for the sake of his newborn son. The title refers to the old traditional of spanking a newborn baby to ensure that it's drawing breath. He talks about the things he's done in the past like drinking, gambling. womanising and fighting and how he's going to give it all up for the sake of his son. It's a really lovely song about the transition between young adulthood and parenthood. #11 Bing Crosby - The Isle of Innisfree Debut: 14 November 1952 Peak: #3 WoC: 12 Run: 4-4-6-4-3-3-3-5-4-5-7-11 _OMf85u94Fc It may come as a suprise to some but Bing Crosby did write songs other than White Christmas which we'll get to later on I'm sure. The song was written about Ireland by Dick Farelly while he was on a visit home to County Meath where he was from - the song is not about the same place as Yeats poem 'The Lake of Innisfree' as often though - either way it's a beautiful patriotic homage to all of Ireland from an Irishman sung by an American as the them to an American film The Quiet Man, is this where the American romanticism of Ireland started to get out of hand?

Thank God. The right decision. We all knew this was the end point anyway. Interesting that this gets ditched on freshers week as soon as they realised bullying young people won't work.

Anyone tuning in for Great North Run this morning? A chance for someone other than Mo Farah to win the men's race.

Instant Gratification - an album track released a single an immediately available if you buy the album

Top 10 for ABBA Must be near the record between Top 10s unless Vera Lynn or Elvis or someone has it

Tbf she never really lot up the charts mainly through choice to do her own thing. In her poppiest eta she got 5 top 40s and has managed another one in the interim since whole she's largely been outside her poppiest sound. Radio 1 will be able to take those things into consideration when playlisting. It's not like she's released mainstream pop and flopped completely which they'd look at more dimly.

#9 Rosemary Clooney - Half As Much Debut: 14 November 1952 Peak: #3 Woc: 9 Run: 6-3-3-7-3-5-5-6-7 6iX3z5toR08 Another track that had a solid run on the chart, if I was to be slightly overly upbeat I could rave about it spending 9 weeks in the Top 10 but I'm sure that's a bit disingenuously flattering when the chart only consists of a Top 12, and as we'll see from the songs that will follow this, not all that uncommon in this era. Rosemary Clooney is of course mother to George however she was a famous singer and actress in her own right, particularly in America but also in the United Kingdom, we'll see her in this journey a few more times in the 1950s as she had hits both on her own and with the band the Mellomen. The song was originally a hit for Hank Williams in 1952 - reaching No 1 on the Billboard Country Chart, but Rosemary would take her version to the masses and achieve a No 1 hit on the US Pop Chart, unfortunately for her in the UK - No 3 was the peak she could manage in the UK on this song, although she would later score 2 No 1 hits with 'This Ole House' and 'Mambo Italiano' at the peak of her charting powers in 1954.

Definitely going straight to No 1 but at least this time it'll be on merit rather than because it's Ed like Bad Habits.

I'm so glad they've B-Listed their follow up single instead of re-playlisting Heatwaves as might have been tempting!!

#8 Vera Lynn - Forget Me Not Debut: 14 November 1952 Peak: #5 WoC: 6 Runs: 7 (B) 7-6-5-10-10 JC0IFBnaTaY The third and final entry in the first weeks chart for Vera Lynn, this beautiful song about two lovers being apart from eachother - because the husband has gone away to war, although the lyrics don't reference that directly they talk about the male being far away and the RAF feature as backing singers!! It would enjoy a moderately successful run on the chart through the end of 1952, dropping out in January never to return.
