More overtly political than usual for the lads here, but it was fun and it was catchy, the video mildly amusing. The song is melodically good though, and lyrically not so politically obvious, it can be taken other ways. A good 'un.

I never knew about the One True Voice connection and this didnt ring a bell till I played it, still an exciting production. It went top 20 for me and would prob rate top 20 of the year for me too, but it's too repetitive to be top tier, it doesnt bear repeated plays so much. Sigma not done so much in the 2020's for me but had some real bangers with Jack Savoretti, Paloma Faith, Take That, Rita Ora and Labrinth.

I know all of these for a change! Holy Cow never a fave, but it's OK, Gimme Some Lovin' is a goodie, as you imply it's rifftastic. I knew The Boney M version first too, but Painter Man is a good original for The Creation too. Frank Farian had some bizarre, but good, choices for covers. Friday On My Mind rates among the best of 1966, future Flash & The Pan hitmakers and links to AC/DC included, and this would be my ROTW in most weeks if not for those pesky Beach Boys dropping a game-changing epic in Good Vibrations and Pet Sounds to give the Beatles a kick up the arse for 1967 - forget The Rolling Stones, the real one-upmanship of the 60's was the Brian Wilson vs Lennon-McCartney mutual appreciation society.

Good album, and another low-key lead single for it, oddly. It has a great melody hook for the chorus and the harmonies are a welcome add-on, but the verses are mostly treading water, something with a bit more oomph in between would have made it a much better record. It still topped my chart for one week, but CD1 was a fabulous release with 4 tracks, The Truck Driver And His Mate a total banger (and amusing) that I entered into BJSC, and one they did in the recent set of Obscurities concerts, and Hit And Miss is a fab ballad, while a remix of the Clothes Show theme In The Night rounded off the set - the PSB record liked by people who didnt realise it was PSB's and so liked it where the usual comment was "they all sound the same" as I occasionally enjoyed pointing out. I treated it as if it were an EP, as it should have been formally, a quality package no padding. As an EP I would have given it 9.5.

Thanks both and well done Jade on the 39 too! 🤩 round 1: 39 round 2: 39 3 in 10: The Love I Lost, If You Dont Know Me By Now, Dont Leave Me This Way

I love West Side Story, one of the great movie musicals and some of the great musical songs in America - what an iconic segment that is! - Somewhere and Maria, songs I grew up knowing, so appreciated the choice of song, but it was a bit by-the-numbers for me and lacked the sheer drama and widescreen sonic landscape of Go West. I you are going for camp, then OTT is the way to do it properly. This was a good B side for me.

Thanks jade! round 1: 39 round 2: 39 tiebreak: yes 3 in 10: Coz I Luv You, Merry Christmas Everybody, Cum On Feel The Noize

ELO climbing 🤩Sheena, Moody Blues and Lulu all nice climbs. I was supposed to see Lulu last week but she has had to postpone till April. The Four Tops and Hall & oates climbing and Aneka new in, along with It's My Party, The police and Billy Joel, hooray. great chart!

2nd November 1976 It's 2 weeks on top for Chicago, but Climax Blues Band threaten at 2 with Couldn't Get It Right, with Leo Sayer grabbing his 2nd top 10, You Make Me Feel Like Dancing being his biggest since debut The Show Must Go On 3 years ago. Rock 'n' Me returns Steve Miller Band to my charts, their third since The Joker went top 20 in 1974, and rather rifftastic at 17 too. Joan Armatrading treads where Linda Lewis hit first, as a UK female black singer-songwriter getting a chart hit, with the gorgeous Love And Affection in at 25. Avoiding my oldies chart by charting in the main UK singles chart, The Who debut 60's oldie Substitute, one I knew only vaguely from first-time round (I missed a lot of 1966 big hits while dad was away in Aden) but which was better than any new Who singles since Join Together in 1972. At 39, I bid a chart goodbye to The Osmonds with I Can't Live A Dream incredibly being their last hit as the music scene moved on without any Osmonds charting for 12 years. It's quite nice actually, new in at 39. At 41, Guys & Dolls get a 4th charter, the more upbeat Stoney Ground being the best of the bunch since There's A Whole Lot Of Loving. Showaddywaddy were looking like they had died along with Glam Rock, now in its death throws as disco ruled and Punk was waiting in the wings, after some lesser self-written singles. So they did what they did in 1975 and opted for an inspired cover-version of an early rock & roll track that was never a UK hit, and struck gold with Under The Moon Of Love. A formula they stuck with for another 4 years! In at 45, one behind the Showaddy's, Neil Sedaka also past his revival as singer-songwriter hitmaker, with flop Make Your Own Sunshine. Not one I've heard in 50 years, a pleasant enough upbeat pop ditty in the vein of Love Will Keep Us Together, but not as memorable, and more about being your own fan and support. Bonnie Tyler arrives on the pop scene at 47 with the very French-flavoured Lost In France, a nice ballad but she will find a much-bigger rock-vogue down the line, and famously gravel-voiced, which leaves a welcome return for Clodagh Rodgers at 50, Save Me being her best record since 1969, with a new more mature sound away from the catchy bubblegum, and getting a fair amount of airplay in 1976, and again in 1978, without actually getting a hit out of it. What should have been a career reviver ended up more a final footnote. 1 ( 1 ) IF YOU LEAVE ME NOW Chicago 2 ( 7 ) COULDN’T GET IT RIGHT Climax Blues Band 3 ( 3 ) DON’T TAKE AWAY THE MUSIC Tavares 4 ( 2 ) DANCING QUEEN ABBA 5 ( 18 ) YOU MAKE ME FEEL LIKE DANCING Leo Sayer 6 ( 8 ) PLAY THAT FUNKY MUSIC Wild Cherry 7 ( 4 ) MISSISSIPPI Pussycat 8 ( 10 ) RUBBERBAND MAN The Detroit Spinners 9 ( 5 ) GIRL OF MY BEST FRIEND Elvis Presley 10 ( 6 ) I’M STILL WAITING Diana Ross 11 ( 15 ) THEME FROM STAR TREK Alexander Courage 12 ( 24 ) QUEEN OF MY SOUL Average White Band 13 ( 25 ) COMING HOME David Essex 14 ( 32 ) BEAUTIFUL NOISE Neil Diamond 15 ( 11 ) DANCING WITH THE CAPTAIN Paul Nicholas 16 ( 9 ) BEST DISCO IN TOWN The Ritchie Family 17 ( NEW ) ROCK ‘N’ ME The Steve Miller Band 18 ( 13 ) I’LL MEET YOU AT MIDNIGHT Smokie 19 ( 19 ) WITHOUT YOU Nilsson 20 ( 22 ) SUMMER OF MY LIFE Simon May 21 ( 14 ) DISCO DUCK Rick Dees & His Cast Of Idiots 22 ( 12 ) HOWZAT Sherbet 23 ( 29 ) LOWDOWN Boz Scaggs 24 ( 46 ) JAWS Lalo Schifrin 25 ( NEW ) LOVE AND AFFECTION Joan Armatrading 26 ( 17 ) BLINDED BY THE LIGHT Manfred Mann’s Earthband 27 ( 33 ) REMEMBER YESTERDAY John Miles 28 ( 16 ) I’D REALLY LOVE TO SEE YOU TONIGHT England Dan & John Ford Coley 29 ( 20 ) TEARS OF A CLOWN Smokey Robinson & The Miracles 30 ( NEW ) SUBSTITUTE The Who 31 ( 38 ) WHEN FOREVER HAS GONE Demis Roussos 32 ( 23 ) I WANT MORE Can 33 ( 21 ) SHE’S GONE Daryl Hall & John Oates 34 ( 27 ) DANCE LITTLE LADY DANCE Tina Charles 35 ( 28 ) LOVING AND FREE Kiki Dee 36 ( 30 ) BENNIE AND THE JETS Elton John 37 ( 26 ) HURT The Manhattans 38 ( 31 ) YOU DON’T HAVE TO GO The Chi-Lites 39 ( NEW ) I CAN’T LIVE A DREAM The Osmonds 40 ( 34 ) SAILING Rod Stewart 41 ( NEW ) STONEY GROUND Guys & Dolls 42 ( 44 ) MR.

Greyhound, The Pioneers and Benny Hill all out-do their 1971 chart peaks, and Harry Chapin hits the top 10 for the second year in a row with Cats In The Cradle as WOLD hits a new peak of 17.

Great fun, tongue-in-cheek, and good songs.

DJ Culture the first PSB record to fall short of my top 10, largely thanks to the low-key vibe and low-key hook. What could have made a good album track on the next album, was a bit of a damp squib as a single. It lacked the dark beauty of Rent, or the moving pathos of Being Boring or the sad optimism of Love Comes Quickly, or the grandeur of Jealousy, and I'm not sure the message of the song came over clearly (I know I missed it!) - and it certainly couldnt be included in with their bangers, it sort of fell in between somewhere.

Waves is a pleasant song, I like Tropical House, but it usually doesn't get the blood pumping with excitement. Robin Schulz still has the gift of the producer though - see his current collab with Watermat, Take It Slow, which is better than both the number ones here. That has a bit more oomph, current top 20 for me where this one peaked at 58 - it would still be down the lower to mid region of the rate for me. Summer was fun, catchy and upbeat. Prob around the top 20 region on the rate, though amongst Calvin's back catalogue it's on a par with Acceptable In The 80's, Ready For The Weekend rather than top tier Promises, Under Control, Pray To God. Good though!

Ooh now I play this, it has aged very well, quite assertive and mildly venomous. I'd forgotten how much I liked it - though still not in the same league as If There Was Love for me.

25th October 2026 It's 2 weeks on top for Jungle as they grab a 6th week in total this year at number one, and the 60's classic Jimmy Mack climbs to 2 for Martha & The Vandellas, long overdue a chart entry for one I really liked as a kid that has never charted before. Nickelback go top 10 for the first time in 20 years, though Chad Kroeger has done it with The Lottery Winners in the last 2 years, and Nickelback debut at 89 with another good single Make Me Love You. Lil Nas X gets his first ever top 10 with Hey Ya, oops I mean World's Greatest. The highst new entry is from a classic 70's UK flop that should have charted in 1975, Calypso featured in a streaming series this week, and is sort of topical as it was an ode to marine conservationist Jacques Cousteau's boat in the week David Attenborough's Blue Planet III is due. New in at 16, having topped my charts as an oldie in 2004 for John Denver. New at 59 there's an unexpected duet from Fontaines D.C. and ROSALIA, fresh from topping my chart earlier in the year with Reliquia, and Fontaines having last charted with top 10 Starburster. It's a very Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood-ish dark ballad. Where Is Gone, with no question mark. Morten Harket, of a-ha, hasn't had a solo charter since 2012, having first done it in the 90's, and is now back with a moody ballad If I Ever See Your Face Again at 82, giving him a chart span of 41 years including a-ha. Texas have been absent for 3 years, returning with the very nice Another Way To Cry at 87 for 37 years of charting, Albin Lee Meldau is back with a 2nd Swedish chart entry on Lonely By Another Name sounding like an Americana track, while Cyndi's 1984 ballad classic gets a revamp, this time from CYRIL and with added Tones And I at 90 for a 2nd time-round for Ms Lauper on Time After Time.

Hi Sven! 🙂 Thanks for all the picks! Glad you like so many of the new entries! cheers! 😎

Hey Seltin! 🙂 I wasn't expecting Expectations in at 1! 😄Bass Persuades and Patient Zero still top 3 though, hooray. Holly climbing, Babydoll new in, I'm not sure where that Britney track has come from out of nowhere - lyrics by Justin Timberlake! 2001-era it seems!! great charts! 😎

Hey Seltin! 🙂 Thanks for the picks, glad you like Jamie and Taylor new in and the new number one, I love it (obv 😄) cheers! 😎

Hi DaTilt! 🙂 Hope all is good! My faves from your chart this week: 01 Iamamiwhoami; Ionnalee – Shadowshow (10) 4w 02 Haute & Freddy – Film Noir (NEW) 03 Faouzia – Unethical (1) 6w 05 Tate McRae – Housewife (9) 2w 11 Kacey Musgraves – Weekend In Texas (NEW) 13 Holly Humberstone – Too Cute To Be Lonely (8) 4w 17 Fontaines D.C. – Japan (34) 2w 38 Troye Sivan – Party (22) 6w 50 Hailee Steinfeld – Magic (NEW) 82 Miley Cyrus – Let’s Get Married (68) 6w 84 Fontaines D.C. – Marianne (75) 10w 92 Temper City – Sex & Drugs (89) 2w The rest I havent heard mostly, and Miley is entering my new chart, great chart! 😎

Hi DaTilt! 🙂 Thanks for the picks! Glad you like Temper City new one and the Gerry classic, ah takes me back to being young! Thanks for the Haute & Freddy track, nice synths and very Halloween video! I like it, must play it again! cheers! 😎

Hey James! 🙂 great chart, good to see Patient Zero on top, Carly, Rose and sombr top 10, (again in 2 cases! 🙂) and new ones from Olivia/Chappell and Holly Humberstone, I like both of those. Miley and Ella both dropping though, awwww 🥹 Lots of Carly Rae's but no Amalfi Coast, loving that one at the mo! Good stuff as always! 😎

Hey James! 🙂 Glad you enjoying Club, Dancefloor, Patient Zero and Stop The Wedding entering - it was very catchy from day one, but the subtler bits take a few plays to notice! Oops at Babydoll, I can see why it annoys (and I wouldnt be surprised if it annoys me after a few weeks) but it's been getting big plays on Radio 2 and sounds OK at the mo. I'd be interested to see who's streaming it as it's also catching on in the USA - if I was guessing I'd plump for teenage girls as being the biggest group, but Radio 2 seem to think older listeners will like it too! 😄 cheers! 😎
