19th April 2026 It's 2 weeks on top for RAYE and Hans Zimmer as they hold off Take That from the top spot, Harry Styles goes back up to a new peak of 4 while simultaneously leaping his 2017 track Sign Of The Times to 15, way higher than first time round thanks to its key moment (the song) in the fab movie Project Hail Mary. Neil Sedaka leapfrogs himself twice as Bad Blood finally gets a top 10 slot 51 years after peaking at 11, with some help from Elton John, no stranger to getting top 10 oldies in my charts or the UK charts. I saw Suzi Quatro in fine form on Monday night, though she didn't do the current single (no Alice Cooper there, but holding at 76 ) so maybe next week some oldies or newies will pop in - I bought the new album, signed by Suzi, and gave her a lonely wave (just me there) as she was driven out past the stage door as I was walking by en route to my car up the West Cliff coast in Bournemouth, starry starry night too. Which reminds me Vincent is up to 14. Suzi can and did play classical on piano, drums and bass for anyone expecting her to be a one-trick pony. Highest new entry is Stephen Sanchez on his 5th or 6th charter, Chuck The Money at 59 being not unlike Feel It Still, Portugal The Man also climbing co-incidentally to 32 this week. Lana Del Ray finally gets that Bond Theme out and in at 63, albeit via a PC game theme version of Bond - better late than never, it's lush and fits in nicely with her "Nancy Sinatra for the 21st Century" early references, given Nancy still has the Best Bond theme in You Only Live Twice. Madonna has a shock new entry, her second of the year with new material but this is from Confessions On A Dancefloor 2, and bodes well as she seems to be going back to dance music, I Feel So Free at 66. Madge is the same age as me, more or less, so yay for her. That'll be 42 years of charting then. Moya/Maire Brennan of Clannad passed away, sadly, this week, so Clannad's evocative oldie from 1982 is back at 74 - I never watched the TV show Harry's Game, but the theme tune is just wonderful. Kylie has a classic oldie (topping my chart in 2002) used in an advert which has boosted downloading interest and gives me an excuse to have Love At First Sight back, at 83 and 2 spots ahead of an even more unexpected return from an 80's pop star - Mari Wilson had a string of hits in 1982/3, best of which is Just What I Always Wanted, and her new one borrows the vibes of that one, so it's Good News having her back after a gap of 42 years - she has been away as long as Madonna has been having hits! Not the longest time away ever from my charts, but it's up there.... 1 1 1 3 CLICK CLACK SYMPHONY - RAYE featuring Hans Zimmer 350100 2 2 2 5 YOU'RE A SUPERSTAR - Take That 259700 3 3 1 10 LUCKY AGAIN - Lykke Li 592400 4 9 4 7 AMERICAN GIRLS - Harry Styles 235250 5 10 5 8 VERTIGO - AVALAN ROKSTON 289400 6 13 6 8 BAD BLOOD - Neil Sedaka featuring Elton John 198300 7 8 5 10 DRIVE SAFE - Myles Smith & Niall Horan 312600 8 4 1 8 I CAN'T WAIT - Bob Sinclar & Kiesza 760000 9 5 1 8 THE IMMIGRANT - Neil Sedaka 577000 10 6 3 8 LAUGHTER IN THE RAIN - Neil Sedaka 399300 11 7 1 10 DON'T WANT YOUR LOVE - Illenium & Ellie Goulding 656500 12 11 7 8 PRAYER - David Guetta, Kiko & Olivier Giacomotto 290400 13 14 13 10 STARLIGHT - Cannons 172800 14 21 14 10 VINCENT - Don McLean 140700 15 46 15 4 SIGN OF THE TIMES - Harry Styles 53350 16 12 10 8 RIDE - Jessie Ware 212500 17 16 8 10 HOMEWRECKER - sombr 234800 18 24 18 4 CALIFORNIA - Jessie J 66400 19 25 19 8 TO LOVE SOMEBODY - Holly Humberstone 117400 20 15 15 10 FEELS LIKE HEAVEN - Loreen 175650 21 17 17 7 UNIVERSAL SOLDIER - Depeche Mode 104050 22 18 1 19 RELIQUIA - ROSALIA 1195000 23 19 1 19 FREE LOVE - Cast 1326500 24 20 1 13 APERTURE - Harry Styles 957300 25 31 25 6 CLUB SONG - The Pussycat Dolls 87750 26 30 26 8 THESE NIGHTS - Cannons 89700 27 22 20 8 LOST - almost monday 131250 28 34 28 7 WHY DON'T YOU - Squeeze 91200 29 44 29 5 5:00 AM - Michael Schulte 54050 30 70 30 3 STAY - Leony & Calum Scott 29400 31 58 31 3 SUGAR - Simien & Akon 34300 32 47 32 4 PHOENIX - Marshmello x Portugal.

Hi DaTilt! 🙂 Ooh straight in on top for Conan Gray, not heard that one, sounds quite good, I think I will buy it! Good to see Stephen Sanchez and Lana Del Ray straight in new too, both sounding very good, and a bunch of decent others from Olivia, Jessie, sombr. Jungle, J-Lo, Homewrecker, Alex Warren and the Eurovision songs still good too. great charts! 😎

Hi SSP!🙂 Thanks for the climber and new entry picks as always! cheers! 😎

Hi AH, hope all is good with the unmentionable!🙂 fabulous charts here, I need to hear some of the new stuff and the old classics are amazing! Incredibly stuff! cheers and take it easy! 😎

Hi AH, extra busy ta, saw Phantom Of The Opera, I'm Sorry Prime Minister, scenic high-rise views of London, lots of friends and off to Birkenhead tomorrow seeing some more. I need a holiday again! 😄Hope the Horror is ebbing! Is the first time we have the same act on top with different tracks? I'm guessing not! Aww Robbie was kinda cute in the early days so I can see why Take That were so huge. The Rock DJ video was a high point though😄. At least until the skin removal sequence, at which point ewww! 😄 Fever Dream, it's getting a fair bit of play on Radio 2 too, but at least it's not The Big One! 😆Stay With Me Till Dawn sounds best late in the evening driving back from being out, very ethereal. 😎Hot Damn has multiple dadi's in the video, thanks as always for the chat and comments and picks! 🤩 cheers! 😎

Hey Sven! 🙂 Thanks for the picks and comments as always, and dont worry Harry's back up this week to a new peak! Most of the rest still climbing happily, but you never know 😄 cheers! 😎

Hey Seltin! Thanks for the picks, and Drive Safe back up this week hooray! 😄 cheers! 😎

Hello Jordan! 🙂 Raye doing well with Click Clack, it's always refereshing when acts come out with something different, and this is very different from anything in the charts, or before. No the Take That is a sort of farewell playover the end of the documentary mini-series, and it's pretty catchy, Love Inc not one I remember much! 😄Glad you like Holly, she's pretty classy 👍I quite liked the new OneRepublic but I sometimes need two or three plays on their stuff to click enough to buy. Cheers and thanks for all the picks and comments! 😎

Hi Da Tilt, thanks for the picks, and Holly seems generally pretty tasteful in her music, I have never disliked anything I've heard of hers, and Jungle are on of my faves, I pretty much buy everything they release, including Loaded Honey 🙂 cheers! 😎

Hi Sergej! Ella a bit of a fave then!! 13 weeks on top and most of the album in the chart. Be Her poised to take over on top too! A lot of my faves at the top end falling with the influx, but fab new entry from Beauty Pageant & Robbie too and climbers from Bob Sinclar, Delta G, Jungle, OneRepublic, Miley, among others I havent charted yet but enjoy. great charts! take care 😎

Hi Sergej! Thanks for the picks, at least the top end had some movement for a change lately 😄 cheers and take care 😎

I like all of these, I Fought The Law I may even prefer this version to The Clash's, Pretty Flamingo, Manfred had better singles to come but it's fine - seen The Manfreds in concert several times, always a good night out. Beach Boys I've seen 3 times, my first ever big concert in 1980 at Knebworth having bought the hits album in 1976 recognising them as all-time greats - fabulous live, but the studio perfection is the timelessness. Sloop John B isnt even in the top 5 of their timeless 1966 releases, and it's still great.
