8th November 2026 It's 2 weeks on top for Love Affair's fabulous Rainbow Valley, with Everlasting Love holding at 2, and three other 60's hit climbing for the late Steve Ellis and co. If not for Steve passing away, Martha & The Vandellas would be getting a long overdue number one. In further sad news, lead singer of 70's Phillysoul band First Choice, Rochelle Fleming passed away last week, with their 1973 top 5 goodie Armed And Extremely Dangerous returning at 80, along with their 1974 UK flop The Player, which recently charted here as a dance sample under the Title Shoot You Down, though it made my charts that year and still sounds good. Quite a few big climbs this week from Morten Harket, The Avalanches, Fontaines D,C. and Rosalia, and a new entry for Yello at 87 with Midnight Traffic, quite an exciting return 5 years on since their last chart entry, and 40 years since debuty Goldrush. Eurovision winner Dara follows up Bangaranga with Bad Idea at 93, and 2000's hitmaker La Roux is back at 96 with Night Vision, her first charter in 7 years to extend her run to 20 years. Zach Bryan gets his 2nd chart entry, the first being in 2024, but that it was with Kacey Musgrave, this time it's Lana Del Ray joining him on Lies, at least her 35th charter in 14 years. That leaves The Rolling Stones sneaking in again with another newie in 2026. It's easy to take them for granted, but Mick'n' Keef have been charting for 57 years for me, and throughout, and for a 4th time this year with around 50 hits in total, not including solo stuff. In terms of longer chart runs with new material, Lulu beats them by 6 months on the current chart. 1 1 1 2 RAINBOW VALLEY - Love Affair featuring Sunny And Sue 340000 2 2 2 2 EVERLASTING LOVE - Love Affair 230000 3 3 2 7 JIMMY MACK - Martha & The Vandellas 412200 4 4 1 8 REDLIGHTS - Miley Cyrus 858000 5 5 1 13 WHERE ARE YOU NOW? - Jungle 854200 6 6 3 7 (LOVE IS LIKE A) HEATWAVE - Martha & The Vandellas 419000 7 7 7 6 WORLD’S GREATEST! - Lil Nas X 173700 8 8 8 13 LEAVE ME BEHIND - Nickelback 245400 9 9 9 9 FEEL MY LOVE - Take That & Michael Patrick Kelly 264800 10 11 10 3 CALYPSO - John Denver 104000 11 16 11 4 RIGHT DOWN THE LINE - Gerry Rafferty 106000 12 32 12 4 ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD - The Avalanches featuring Rivers Cuomo, Vegyn & Baby Marlboro) 68750 13 43 13 3 IF I EVER SEE YOUR FACE AGAIN - Morten Harket 46100 14 12 12 9 TOUCHING FROM A DISTANCE TOO FAR - Inspiral Carpets 194200 15 10 1 17 THE GAME OF LOVE - New Radicals & Michelle Branch 1396200 16 24 16 6 AMALFI COAST - Carly Rae Jepsen 77800 17 13 1 13 SUNSHINE - Jungle 1138000 18 22 18 13 LOADED - Primal Scream featuring The Emotions 188150 19 23 19 9 MARRY YOU AGAIN - Dan + Shay 132900 20 19 19 17 BE HER - Ella Langley 216800 21 18 1 20 CLUB TO YOUR ARMS - Rose Gray 1578750 22 14 1 21 LOVE SENSATION/AFTERHOURS RADIO EDIT - Madonna/Madonna & Kylie Minogue 1223900 23 15 8 14 FRAGILE - Madonna 324500 24 29 10 13 OH YEAH? - Steve Lacy 283100 25 44 25 3 WHERE IS GONE - Fontaines D.C. & ROSALIA 42100 26 26 26 9 BASS PERSUADES - Miley Cyrus 119400 27 30 27 9 SANDCASTLE DISCO - Freemasons featuring Solange 122550 28 28 4 14 SLEEPING WITH MY BOOTS ON - Lily Meola 556750 29 37 29 11 ONE STEP AWAY - Madonna 103350 30 20 12 13 TAKE IT SLOW (BULLIT) - Robin Schulz & Watermat 273650 31 33 31 8 COOL YOU DOWN - Chaka Khan & Sia 88850 32 36 32 8 FADE TO GREY - Midge Ure 91000 33 39 33 9 WATCHIN’ U - Sigma & America Foster 83100 34 27 25 11 DON’T LEAVE ME ON THE DANCEFLOOR - Carly Rae Jepsen 135150 35 41 35 4 HIGHER - Take That 54300 36 21 6 13 MESMERIZED - Freemasons featuring Faith Evans 393850 37 31 5 16 BABY I KNOW - The Rubettes 569500 38 45 38 6 SUGAR BABY LOVE - The Rubettes 49050 39 46 39 4 TRAINING SEASON - Dua Lipa 43450 40 40 1 19 ZABADAK! - Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich 801550 41 56 41 6 WE’VE ONLY JUST BEGUN - Carpenters 37600 42 34 30 14 I’M IN LOVE AGAIN - Lulu 188650 43 51 43 4 CRUEL TO BE KIND - Nick Lowe 43150 44 65 44 3 LONELY BY ANOTHER NAME - Albin Lee Meldau 22650 45 42 8 25 TALK TO YOU - ANOTR featuring 54 Ultra 435500 46 69 46 4 FLOWER IN A HURRICANE - Justice, Tame Impala, SZA & King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard 23950 47 70 47 2 MISS LUCIFER - Primal Scream 18500 48 71 48 3 ANOTHER WAY TO CRY - Texas 20700 49 49 49 4 SEX & DRUGS - Temper City 33300 50 25 9 9 DIRTY DIRTY DISCO - Rogue Traders & Dannii Minogue 192100 51 53 51 4 PATIENT ZERO - Taylor Swift 40400 52 47 39 8 ENJOY THE RIDE - almost monday 69000 53 17 3 13 REWARD - The Teardrop Explodes 603000 54 35 29 15 DYNAMITE - Haircut 100 159250 55 62 55 4 FINAL CREDITS (LOADED HONEY VERSION) - The Avalanches featuring Loaded Honey 29000 56 74 56 3 LET’S GET MARRIED - Miley Cyrus 16800 57 38 8 13 RAIN - Dagny 323400 58 67 58 4 SPECTRAL EYES - Blondie 23100 59 59 59 6 HAWAII FIVE-O - The Ventures 31000 60 48 10 14 STORMY WEATHER - Etta James 343850 61 50 10 19 DANCETERIA - Madonna 362150 62 85 62 2 GIVE ME JUST A LITTLE MORE TIME - Chairmen Of The Board 10400 63 91 63 2 BRINGING ON BACK THE GOOD TIMES - Love Affair 9100 64 55 1 19 DON JUAN - Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich 662600 65 72 65 4 FEATHERS IN A STORM - Linda Perry 19000 66 66 66 4 STOP THE WEDDING! - Ashe 21800 67 54 12 17 SUNRISE - Simply Red 305650 68 76 68 3 TIME AFTER TIME - Cyndi Lauper, CYRIL & Tones And I 13200 69 78 69 4 GHOST - Sugababes 13600 70 57 18 16 FIREFLIES - Martin Garrix & U2 228400 71 61 2 24 THE WAVE - Jungle 941300 72 82 72 3 MAKE ME LOVE YOU - Nickelback 11400 73 52 17 16 BLUE DREAM - Holly Humberstone 245800 74 84 74 2 WHAT IF I TOLD YOU - Armin van Buuren & Douwe Bob 8400 75 77 75 4 JOY. - RAYE, Absolutely & Amma 12800 76 86 76 2 ONE ROAD - Love Affair 7600 77 68 1 26 CRYING OVER YOU - Reverend and The Makers 1036550 78 73 1 28 NEVER CAN SAY GOODBYE - The Jackson 5 640300 79 60 8 17 THINK I’M GONNA FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU - The Dooleys 334650 80 NEW 80 1 ARMED AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS - First Choice 4000 81 95 81 2 L.E.S.

Hi AH! 🙂 Hope pre-christmas is going nicely, I've got 4 weeks to sort out cards, prezzies and oodles of other stuff before I go on holiday to escape it all in the mild sun of Gran Canaria. Hope you are getting a nice break away from work! Fabulous charts as always! I'm glad you've kept the oldies chart, makes for interesting extra!🤩4 oldie former number ones drop out your chart and one oldie enters (Royworld), the other classics never quite hit the top spot, oops! cheers! 😎

Hi AH! 🙂 Thanks for the chartbook wishes and comments, and shame about your 1999/2000 charts - re-doing is never quite the same as memory plays tricks on you for some you dont like as much as you did at the time, and vice versa, so it's good to have the originals warts and all 😄 Love Affair caught me at just the right time - I was 10 and 11 while they were charting, and they were just one of many groups I loved as I discovered the chart rundowns. These top two are their very best songs though. REDLIGHTS should be a single yes, but I dont see it getting airplay unless Miley comes over and does some Radio 2 bits (Songs Of My Years, or similar). Radio 1 probably wouldnt be interested, I'm guessing! Where Is Gone might make the combined BJ chart with a bit of luck! Babydoll same, it's quite pleasant but overplay will make it annoying in a few weeks. Sauna, I generally rate Jessie a lot (Ride was the highlight) but this one's just a tad like the previous with the hook not as strong. Plus I hate cooking in saunas so the imagery is lost on me 😄 thanks as always for the indepth picks and comments! ❤️😎

Hey Seltin! 🙂 Great charts! Good to see Housewife on top, Babydoll holding, Holly H climbing, Harry Styles new in the 30, and just outside Unethical climbing. cheers! 😎

Hey Seltin! 🙂 Thanks for the picks! Glad you like Tate debuting and t'others! cheers 😎

Hey Sven! 🙂 Great charts as always, looks like I missed one, so included the oldies chart here too!

Hey James 🙂 Sadly Dancefloor has peaked for me, but it's still sounding good and isn't dropping fast 👍Stop The Wedding is very catchy, it's the intro I like best, oddly! Holly H is always very listenable, her songs are pretty good, and like Rose Gray I dont understand why they arent crossing over to proper mainstream pop success! There are a few chart stars that aren't as good! Housewife has grabbed where Tate M's songs don't always grab me on one listen. This one took 2 or 3 listens to register properly! Cheers! 😎

Hi Sergej! 🙂 Thanks for all the picks, quite a lot of new entries you like, hooray!🤩 Cheers! 😎

thanks both🙂, on a roll of late though I failed to recognise the intro to a Chaka Demus & Pliers track last night - She Dont Need Nobody. oops! We went Shaggy. round 1: 33 I considered Cardigans but thought it was a less known band. It wasn't.😄 round 2: 36 Backstreet Boys 3 in 10: White Wedding, Rebel Yell, Eyes Without A Face

It was a good version, and great to see as a hit, but the original was always my "should have been a single" PSB track first choice, banging and exciting and great to see Chris getting a go upfront. that's a 10/10 for me. This is lesser.

Thanks both! Well done on the Cat Stevens guess Jade! If a pop question involves 1974 and odd song titles, just say Wombles 😄 Mike Batt having a go at calypso and Mozart Wombling. round 1: 39 round 2: 39 3 in 10: Gertcha, Aint No Pleasing You, Snooker Loopy

great fun this one, it's always amusing to have a go at the bitchy critics (and indeed throw awareness out there for those not fond of what are perceived as weaknesses by non-fans). The remix was pretty good too, manic suited the deadpan. The video, like all of the Very videos, is great, Chris' head as multiple ceiling lights swaying with a smile on alone is worth it. Fabulous, though obviously it's not one you can easily singalong to anthemic-wise.

Thanks Jade and one-year-out Rollo, so close. round 1: 39 round 2: 39 3 in 10: 1: I'll Never Fall In Love Again, the contestant beat me to Real Gone Kid and Dignity, and then I struggled!

Don't remember the Ken Dodd upbeat single, bit would have been fun while waiting for the Diddymen to turn up on telly. Val's is one of my faves of his, lovely and smooth and tuneful, but the death-song has to win it for Tom, it was everywhere at the time and quite a while after on Two-Way Family Favourites and Radio 2. I have a lot of nostalgic love for it, though I know fictional-story-songs are long out of fashion.

Miracles is one one of my fave 2000's PSB singles, it's lovely and quite agree with the AI commentary, for which I hold my head in shame, eek! I liked the lushness, the Madonna vibes and the optimism and imagery, and at least it made the top 40 here!

Love the Kiezsa track, and the video, it reminded me of very early Madonna in attitude and dress but with a 90's vibe. Not heard it in ages but ti stands up as one of the best records of the year, top 10 for sure in this list. Also loved the photo and memory lane stuff, so sweet it was a first date! Awww! Talking about those Tower Of London ceramics, I also went to see them around that time and saw the Pet Shop Boys in the moat at the TOL. Not drowning! Another one of their unusual picks to play live - in this case as an event it didn't work audio-wise, and those nearer the back got more of a view of the walls than the stage, but hey ho, memorable! I Got U is also a good track, and I like the video too. My Love Is Your Love is also one of Whitney's career highlights so that doesn't hurt either. I dont remember where I charted this - a quick confirmation Kiesza was a big long-running top 4, and Duke Dumont number 6, and a lear top 20, bordering on top 10 in the rundown here. Great rundown Jester and thanks for the reviews and hard work, it's not easy covering that many tracks! Well done! 🤩

Thanks Jade and well done on the near-things both! I was late to the show this morning, oops: round 1: 24: didnt listen to the question properly and said Randy Crawford, not Shola Ama. round 2: 39 3 in 10: Sweet Caroline, I Am I Said, Song Sung Blue

I Get Along, my least-fave PSB's album, though I appreciated the attempt to try something different (for them), and this one has a nice hook. Lamenting Mandelson sort of negates the impact a bit, ooeerr, politics is always about dumping anyone that becomes a liability (see the sheer number of Prime Ministers on Sunday, at this rate we're going to need several buses to get them to Remembrance Day) and it's not always a bad thing. The video at least isn't that dire one with rats on the underground. Yes, I know, I saw one the other week and all that, but it doesnt make a great video! Talking of which, I prefer this to the one still left in the rate off the album. Hope that's next!
