Hey Sven! :) Thanks for the picks and comments, and yes I was surprised myself about Armin and APT dropping, sometimes the mood I'm in or feeling changes by the day :lol: Cheers! B-)

Hi Sergej! :) Hope all is well! Teddy Swims top 5 in both our charts but with different songs! My climbing highlights include Kygo/ Onerepublic in the top 10 new - snap! Sam Fender, Alex Warren, Bug, Shaboozey, Luther... Great chart! B-)

Hi Sergej! Hope all is good! :) Thanks for the comment and picks! B-)

Round 1: 36 ) Round 2: 36 ( ) 3 in 10: 3 (I could rattle most of them off no worries, first album I had bought for me on request!)

I have my school book from January 1965, so here's what I was doing: Jan 12th "On Christmas bday I had a Tiddley winks set and a watch and a projeckor and a games and a pair of slippers" I still have the projector filmstrips (of Hi and Lois, and Prince Valiant). Flashy Flicker it was called, it was projected onto the wall, a plastic gun-shape with a bulb. They were for Xmas and birthday. We didn't have tons of toys in those days.... January 18th "On Saturday I had a mouse and we called her Katei. We spent all of my money" I did love my pets. Poor Katy went the way of the poor rabbit and the sticklebacks I used to fish out of the river across the road and kept in a bucket. I loved them all to death, and learned of heartbreak when the bast*rds kept dying no matter how much bread I gave them. Happily the river still has a population of sticklebacks (I checked last year) so I didnt decimate the natural environment. January 22nd "Yesterday I maid a snowman and I kept knocking the snowmans Hed of and I maid a grate big snowball and when i maid the snow balls I could see the grass" So it was snowing heavily in Chesham on the 21st January. January 29th "To-night I am going to play with Mark and Heather and I will ask if I and Mark and Heather can come in the House with me and I will ask if we can play with our toys and if we can play with them we will play with the toys the tiddley winks" Crikey the excitement of kids in 1965! Doctor Who on telly and Tiddley Winks with friends! "You were lucky, we made friends with the rats and played wi' gravel in 't' road" Monday Feb 1st "On saturday I made" (learnt to spell it right already) "some paper flowers all by my self and after that I tidied up and and I brought down my comic and raed it and after that I watched the TV" We couldn't afford real flowers :lol: I always did like arts & crafts... So the music, then? The Rocking Berries I know I liked at the time, and this one is very Beach Boys. I don't remember ever hearing it before in my life but I did buy their Dec 1971 single, The King (an Elvis/Saville/Rolf Harris piss-take) which is un-broad-cast-able these days. The Hollies is an OK early track, they hadnt really got to the great stuff yet. Dave Clark 5 were faves but it's the 1967 song I loved to bits, this one was no Glad All Over or Bits & Pieces, which were faves! The Cheetahs are a new one on me and the crappy fake American accent at the start immediately annoys me. If there's one thing that used to piss me off growing up it was Brits doing terrible American accents and Americans doing terrible British, Scottish and Irish accents. We knew what they should sound like!! They were on telly all the time! We could tell the difference!! I'll stick with The Shirelles... Come See About Me is the jewel in this week's crown, and it didn't get any airplay that I was aware of at the time, bizarrely. It's more subtle than the first two big hits, but I really grew to love in the 80's, having got to hear it on their Hits album in 1970 and then having Shakin' Stevens do a surprisingly decent cover in the 80's. I love it more than Baby Love and Where Did Our Love Go these days, and I love them too.

Kim Wilde was on the Live Lounge Radio 2 yesterday following her acclaimed live performance at the Radio 2 concert the other week. I always go to see Kim on tour, with brother/musical mastermind Ricky and Kim's niece Scarlett. The band is amazing, the new stuff is great and Close was a return to form for Kim in 1988 after her Motown cover smashed but the follow-ups didnt click. You Came she did a ballad version yesterday and it's still a great song however it's presented, Kim hits those notes. Never Trust A Stranger is as good as anything she has done (and she's done a lot of great stuff). She's touring, go and see her, she always commits and clearly loves what she's doing. New album Closer has 3 great tracks on it, at least, based on a quick runthrough I had yesterday. I was there for Kim at her Wembley support for Michael jackson. When I say I was there, I was there outside the building listening as I couldnt get tickets. Paul Young walked right by me with his model girlfriend in tow fashionably late. I went with friends to London for shopping record stores and we parked at Wembley on the offchance there might be tickets floating about. The Only Way Is Up is a classic dancepop track with House production, and Yazz was clearly onto something special. S'Express was also a great dance track, this one a sort of 70's vibe to it, but still sounding very cool 1988 dance. So a hat-trick of goodies to me.

thanks jade, you and Rollo a gnats whisker each from the 39 too! :yahoo: round 1: 39 round 2: 33 (one year out, title) 3 in 10: 2 ( and he beat me to the others)

I liked Transvision Vamp, a sort of throwback to singalong pop-punk, and this single was a step-up for them, Sadly not played that much these days which is shame, bet it'd sound fab loud in a karaoke bar on a bacardi n coke. Dirty Diana is great, I loved that album - on course to overtake Thriller as the best-selling album of all-time in the UK. But can it do it?! Are there any more singles that could come off it?! In my charts Bad, The Way You Make Me Feel and Man In The Mirror were a hat-trick of chart-toppers. I thought Debbie Gibson showed more promise than the other teeny-bop stars, and this was her most accomplished single, and very obviously patterned on the Careless Whisper template. Using George as inspiration had already worked for David Cassidy (actual George on The Last Kiss) and Donny Osmond (Soldier Of Love) getting career revivals so surely it must pay dividends for Debbie...?

round 1: 39 round 2: 36 ( ) 3 in 10: 3 ( )

They were on TOTP in 1984, unless I'm misremembering and it was The Tube. There was no MTV then in the UK that I had access to but I knew what they looked like so it might even have been both shows and a Saturday morning spot too on video. It was the summer of laid-back jazzy vibes in the charts :)

Thanks for the fab hosting Kath and congrats Cody, a great winner there bubbling outside our charts as I type, and thank you for the mid-break use of Drugs, I mean TRUCKS! :lol: Condolences to Skall losing on a tiebreak, but at least Postiljonen was massive in Singerpurear charts, one of the biggest winners of all-time for us, and I say being remembered is the ultimate win. Talking of our chart-toppers, great to see Belinda Carlisle top 20 for Lookylion, class! :cheer:

Each And Every One should have been the big hit, that record was just gorgeous and peak of 2 in my 1984 charts. They'd been sporadically decent in between then and this cover, but I really didn't see the point following Rod Stewart's number one: it was the worst track of any of his number ones, plodding and dull, and even though they'd done a great job rehabilitating the song for me it was never a fave. As US dance music starts to sound stale in 1988, a lot of that is down to Babyface productions and copycats which have none of the pizzazz and class of Jam & Lewis or Quincy Jones. Serviceable not inspirational. I do hope the dance music scene gets an overhaul there like the UK has done (S Express, MARRS) to kick off the complacency.... :teresa:

tie-break needed! It's like voting for chopping off either your lefthand or righthand :o :o :o

I always thought Glenn's teen slush ballad was pretty rubbish till I reminded myself of the god-awful ballads of 90/91 just now to vote in the US number ones thread. This is genius in comparison. At least it has a half-decent tune and he was personable - I saw him on something not long ago, now working as a teacher in a school in Hawaii, so kudos for doing something useful with his life and not joining the nostalgia circuit to sing out his one big hit and that other one which was quite decent.

I wouldnt waste my time if I were you! Bros had a great debut, and I rather liked the last 2 or 3 minor hits after the fuss had died down, New Kids On The Block were generally dreadful bar a couple of tracks. The Bee Gees-ish Tonight and The Right Stuff is all anyone needs to hear....

best: George Michael - Praying For Time Janet Jackson - Love Will Never Do P.M. Dawn - Set Adrift On Memory Bliss Bryan Adams - (Everything I Do) I Do It For You Roxette - Joyride this is the weakest batch so far. George Michael is light-years ahead of everything else as a quality record, but there's about 10 excellent tracks, 10 good ones and then after that there's a pile of very average bland US radio-dominated fodder. And then there's some really terrible records. It's hard to focus on any of them they are so forgettable. But these must be singled out for kudos in being chosen in such a strong field for rubbishness: worst: Mariah Carey - Love Takes Time (for crimes to warbling over a sickly plodding 80's-sounding production) Timmy T - One More Try (for simpering bland-synth self-pity cliched trite that any self-respecting woman would not take you back just for expecting this to win her back) Michael Bolton - When A Man Loves A Woman (for taking a stone-soul classic and barking it into the grave like a foghorn testosterone-fuelled seal. Michael Bolton played Upton Country park some years ago, a short 5 minute walk away, and I swear shipping vessels were floundering into sand-banks in the darkness confused by the lighthouse warning foghorn-sounds coming from slightly inland :teresa: ) and when pretty dreary tracks from Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston arent bad enough to make the final 3..........!

25th January 1975 It's the end of January 1975 and the music scene is picking up after the Christmas break, traditionally a quiet time for new music. The new number one in my retro revamp, though, is one I didn't know at the time. Future 1981 chart-topper One Day In Your Life gives Michael Jackson a third solo number one to add to his 4 with The Jackson 5. Slade grab only their third top 10 in the retro countdown, compared to 8 in my original charts - and How Does It Feel wasn't one of them! Jackie Blue gives Ozark Mountain Daredevils a first (and last) top 10. The highest new entry is the late Steve Harley's signature song, the wonderful Make Me Smile at 11, his biggest track since Sebastian dominated my 1973 Retro charts with a long run on top. As everyone started to party, disco and Northern Soul were doing the biz, this week Northern Soul especially as Gary Lewis & The Playboy's mid 60's obscure gem makes the UK charts and debuts at 16 with My Heart's Symphony. Essentially a US teenybop group with a string of big hits, they were mostly known for Gary being film star/comedian Jerry Lewis' son. I belatedly got into them in the 80's but loved the strings on this single. The B side also enters lower down. Another mid-60's minor gem debuts at 19 for Graham Bonney. There's a great youtube clip of him performing Supergirl, and it was a song I vaguely aware of in the 60's, but rediscovered it this week as Record Mirror had a big ad for it being out again to buy. Supergirl will be in vogue again soon with the new Superman movie setting up a long-awaited second Supergirl movie. Dean Parrish is also in with a banging Northern Soul tune, I'm On My Way at 25. Dolly Parton keeps the Country anthems dropping at a furious pace, this time the delightful Bargain Store at 42, it was quite well-known in the UK without ever being a hit - Dolly didnt chart in the UK until 1976, despite being on her third year of classic records, half a dozen of 'em charting so far Retro-wise. Ben E. King's big US comeback hit, Supernatural Thing, also flopped in the UK, but it's sounding good new at 71, The Philly Devotions is not a track I knew at the time, but thats good too, in at 75. We move into the reggae section, with charting Tito Simon getting zero airplay at the time, unlike Rupie Edwards' minor follow-up to Skanga, turns out I like the former having never heard it before, while the one I liked best also enters - a cover of The New Seekers' cover of the Delaney & Bonnie song Never Ending Song Of Love. No idea who Smoking 007 was, but I liked the song and I think Radio Luxembourg must have been playing it. The Drifters keep the 60's formula going with Love Games, Suzi Quatro has a very misjudged change of style - yes Glam was on it's last legs, but this wasn't the way things would go, and Claire Hamill drops in with one I liked (and bought out of a bargain bin) Geronimo's Cadillac. 1 ( 3 ) ONE DAY IN YOUR LIFE - Michael Jackson # 1 2 ( 1 ) JANUARY - Pilot # 1 3 ( 2 ) HAVE YOU NEVER BEEN MELLOW - Olivia Newton-John # 2 4 ( 13 ) JACKIE BLUE - The Ozark Mountain Daredevils # 4 5 ( 4 ) LOVIN' YOU - Minnie Ripperton # 1 6 ( 6 ) #9 DREAM - John Lennon # 1 7 ( 7 ) CAN’T GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD - Electric Light Orchestra # 1 8 ( 8 ) THERE’S A WHOLE LOT OF LOVING - Guys & Dolls # 8 9 ( 9 ) GOODBYE MY LOVE - The Glitter Band # 9 10 ( 11 ) HOW DOES IT FEEL - Slade # 10 11 ( NEW ) MAKE ME SMILE (COME UP AND SEE ME) - Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel # 11 12 ( 27 ) YOUR KISS IS SWEET - Syreeta # 12 13 ( 5 ) SO LONG - ABBA # 4 14 ( 10 ) CHILD OF LOVE - Caston & Majors # 1 15 ( 15 ) SINCE I FOUND MY BABY - Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose # 15 16 ( NEW ) MY HEART’S SYMPHONY - Gary Lewis & The Playboys # 16 17 ( 14 ) BE MY BABY - The Ronettes # 1 18 ( 39 ) ONLY YOU AND ROCK AND ROLL - Redbone # 18 19 ( NEW ) SUPERGIRL - Graham Bonney # 19 20 ( 26 ) DOWN DOWN - Status Quo # 5 21 ( 16 ) BAD BLOOD - Neil Sedaka featuring Elton John # 10 22 ( 18 ) FOOTSEE - Wigans Chosen Few # 18 23 ( 12 ) I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU - ABBA # 1 24 ( 22 ) WHERE DID OUR LOVE GO? - Diana Ross & The Supremes # 3 25 ( NEW ) I’M ON MY WAY - Dean Parrish # 25 26 ( 19 ) WALKING IN RHYTHM - The Blackbyrds # 4 27 ( 17 ) THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN - Lulu # 7 28 ( 28 ) PURELY BY COINCIDENCE - Sweet Sensation # 28 29 ( 34 ) ROLL ON DOWN THE HIGHWAY - Bachman-Turner Overdrive # 29 30 ( 21 ) THE ORINOCO KID - The Wombles # 15 31 ( 24 ) SHA LA LA (MAKE ME HAPPY) - Al Green # 4 32 ( 20 ) TOBY - The Chi-Lites # 19 33 ( 32 ) YOU AIN’T SEEN NOTHIN’ YET - Bachman-Turner Overdrive # 1 34 ( 33 ) NEVER CAN SAY GOODBYE - Gloria Gaynor # 1 35 ( 35 ) I GET A KICK OUT OF YOU - Gary Shearston # 1 36 ( 47 ) DISCO-TEKIN - Reunion # 36 37 ( 57 ) STREET CORNER MUSIC - Dave Jordan # 37 38 ( 52 ) L-O-V-E (LOVE) - Al Green # 38 39 ( 38 ) WE’RE ALMOST THERE - Michael Jackson # 38 40 ( 66 ) THEN I CHANGE HANDS - Mick Robertson # 40 41 ( 25 ) MS GRACE - The Tymes # 15 42 ( NEW ) THE BARGAIN STORE - Dolly Parton # 42 43 ( 31 ) YOU’RE THE FIRST THE LAST MY EVERYTHING - Barry White # 2 44 ( 44 ) I'M A WOMAN - Maria Muldaur # 44 45 ( 36 ) ALL I WANT IS YOU - Roxy Music # 1 46 ( 43 ) LADY MARMALADE - LaBelle # 8 47 ( 53 ) DRACULA’S DAUGHTER - Thunderthighs # 12 48 ( 61 ) MY ELUSIVE DREAMS - Charlie Rich # 48 49 ( 42 ) DREAMER - Supertramp # 15 50 ( 29 ) MY MAIN MAN - The Staple Singers # 29 51 ( 54 ) GONNA MAKE YOU A STAR - David Essex # 13 52 ( 41 ) IRE FEELINGS (SKANGA) - Rupie Edwards # 10 53 ( 49 ) PICK UP THE PIECES - Average White Band # 28 54 ( 56 ) HOW LONG - Ace featuring Paul Carrack # 1 55 ( 68 ) I’LL TAKE A MELODY - The Hues Corporation # 55 56 ( 55 ) BEACH BABY - The First Class # 1 57 ( 40 ) MAGIC - Pilot # 20 58 ( 51 ) I CAN HELP - Billy Swan # 9 59 ( 23 ) SHAME SHAME SHAME - Shirley & Company # 23 60 ( 50 ) DO IT, DO IT - The Peppers # 27 61 ( 30 ) CRYING OVER YOU - Ken Boothe # 29 62 ( 37 ) ANGIE BABY - Helen Reddy # 1 63 ( 46 ) LONELY THIS CHRISTMAS - Mud # 1 64 ( 60 ) NOW I’M HERE - Queen # 60 65 ( 65 ) FLY NOW - Brian Protheroe # 65 66 ( 67 ) WE LOVE EACH OTHER - Charlie Rich # 66 67 ( 58 ) THE LIFE OF THE PARTY - The Jackson 5 # 57 68 ( 45 ) GET DANCIN’ - Disco Tex & The Sex-o-lettes # 2 69 ( 71 ) I GET LIFTED - George McCrae # 71 70 ( 64 ) ONLY ONE WOMAN - Nigel Olsson # 64 71 ( NEW ) SUPERNATURAL THING - Ben E.

Push It is still great fun, sounds exciting played loud. Fast car is classy, though I've never been as mad on it as most people seem to be or Tracey Chapman in general. Always good, though.

Round 1: 33 ( - not Ay Ay Moosey at all. they all sounded the same...thats my excuse :lol: ) Round 2: 33 ( and the contestant beat me to another before my brain clicked) 3 in 10: 3 ( )

I wasnt a huge fan of I Owe You Nothing, but it's OK pop. Sabrina's was very very annoying, got on my nerves very quickly and still does. On the one hand I was happy to see Chubby Checker back twisting again, it had already been 13 years since his previous top 10 revival and another 13 years before when he broke through in the UK - on the other hand, I wouldnt say The Fat Boys improved on the original. Wild World is a great song, it's one of those songs that I regard as bulletproof - whoever sings it it's always going to sound good, and Maxi's version is no exception. I still prefer Cat's original or Jimmy Cliff's, but it's one of the best tracks in the top 10. The Pasadena's was Philly/Motown referencing retro-sounding soul-dance track, so what's not to love! I hope they cover one of my BJSC entries in the future! In The Air Tonight is a genuine classic, haunting and powerful. This remix doesn't improve on the original, but nor does it ruin it. UB40 and Chrissie Hynde were touring together in the mid-80's (I caught them together, my 3rd time for the Pretenders) and Breakfast In Bed is much more repeat-play than I Got You Babe, and has Dusty class dusted over it. Should have been a single for Dusty in 69/70. Dusty In Memphis a great album.

double 39 jade! :yahoo: :cheer: out the house this morning, hopefully catch-up when it gets posted online...

Ouch! electricity off is worse than this mornings internet down. Virgin costs a fortune too. Using my phone... 36s all round :cheer: Round 1: 36 one year out Round 2: 39 3 in 10: 3

26th January 2025 It's been a 50-year wait but The Osmonds finally get to the top spot with their Four Seasons cover, The Proud One. Easily their best ballad and one of the longer waits to get to number one. The Osmonds first charted in 1972, but never got higher than runners-up, not even with Crazy Horses. Sam Fender gets runners-up spot with the Sprinsteen-esque People Watching, which is a hobby that never gets boring. Sit on a beach and watch people walking by. TRUCKS goes top 10, from the mini-series Cars On The Road, and the musical number for kids has a fabulous video. Kids will love it if they get to watch it. Highest new entry is from Kygo and OneRepublic, Chasing Stars leapfrogs OneRepublic's already-charting Hurt, in at 19, and makes it 15 years of top 20 tracks and over 20 charting tracks to date, including a number one with Love Runs Out in 2014. Kygo is on 10 years of charting so far, and is also on at least 20 chart entries. Good Neighbours grab a 3rd top 40 at 22 as Ripple sounds like a 3rd top 10 based on 2 plays in 24 hours, and Teddy Swims is on for a 4th charter with new album track Hammer To The Heart sounding like a future single at 25. Glass Animals have been about since before that monster 2021 hit Heatwaves - which they haven't followed-up for me until this week - as they get a 4th chart entry with A Tear In Space at 50, 9 years on from debuting. Chappell Roan's Pink Pony Club finally wriggles into my brain after being out for ages, for a 5th chart track inside 2 years. The BBC not really sticking their neck out with that Sound Of 2025 award thing. Might as well have picked any global-seller, considering they didn't go for her for Sound of 2024 before she went big. We at Buzzjack had already been charting her by then so they have no excuse! Artemas grabs a 3rd (rude) track, Topic & Daecolm are back with less collabs in tow for a 2nd chart entry together, Meghan Trainor keeps up the hit-years with Criminals making it a dozen spread out over most of the last 12 years, and The Marias enter their lovely No One Noticed for a second chart track. That leaves current UK number one Messy to debut for Lola Young, keeping up the "young female songwriter fed up with boys/men" theme of the last few years. Just dump 'em if they are that bad and get on with your life! 1 3 1 5 THE PROUD ONE - The Osmonds 310000 2 6 2 11 PEOPLE WATCHING - Sam Fender 292900 3 7 3 8 THE DARK END OF THE STREET - Pet Shop Boys 232850 4 1 1 10 APT. - ROSE & Bruno Mars 664350 5 2 1 11 EXTREME WAYS - Armin van Buuren & Moby 1059250 6 4 1 11 LATE NIGHT PHONE CALL - Reverend And The Makers 1232800 7 8 7 11 ALL YOUR FAULT - Gwen Stefani 228250 8 5 5 4 EUPHORIA - Armin van Buuren, Norma Jean Martine & LAWRENT with Alok 139000 9 9 9 8 DON’T TAKE AWAY THE MUSIC - Tavares 248200 10 15 10 9 TRUCKS - Cars On The Road Cast 184900 11 16 11 9 CAN’T SLOW DOWN - almost Monday 181000 12 12 3 11 DISCO AT THE STRIP CLUB - Reve 674500 13 13 13 15 TABOO - Kylie Minogue 285800 14 28 14 7 BARBARELLA - Betty Boo 84450 15 19 15 10 MIDNIGHT TRAIN - Kim Wilde 142100 16 21 16 8 NIGHTMARE - Geowulf 140750 17 14 1 18 YOU AGAIN - The Lottery Winners featuring Reverend And The Makers 1007400 18 27 18 4 MORE THAN A WOMAN - Tavares 60000 19 NEW 19 1 CHASING PARADISE - Kygo & OneRepublic 21000 20 29 20 8 ANOTHER NIGHT - Grace Davies 113000 21 11 4 15 FANTASY - JADE 509150 22 NEW 22 1 RIPPLE - Good Neighbours 19500 23 10 4 12 WITHOUT YA - Bakermat featuring Gladys Knight 467550 24 17 5 8 HEAVEN MUST BE MISSING AN ANGEL - Tavares 291800 25 NEW 25 1 HAMMER TO THE HEART - Teddy Swims 18750 26 32 26 9 LATE ’88 - Deacon Blue 98850 27 33 27 8 LIVE FOREVER - Chesney Hawkes 93000 28 24 1 21 NEVER GOING HOME TONIGHT - David Guetta & Alesso featuring Madison Love 1083150 29 49 29 5 BEAUTIFUL THAT WAY - Miley Cyrus 52300 30 20 8 12 DISCO WITCH - LEXXE 321750 31 18 8 11 NOW OR NEVER (IT’S MY LIFE) - Bon Jovi x Pitbull 280150 32 22 1 12 SCREAMLAND - Father John Misty 619550 33 37 33 8 BOUQUET - Gwen Stefani 90150 34 30 1 21 THE GIRL THAT I CALL HOME - Tears For Fears 990200 35 48 35 3 KEEP ME SATISFIED - Jungle 36900 36 38 15 18 HEAVY IS THE CROWN - Linkin Park 282400 37 31 25 15 SHOULDA LEFT YA - Kylie Minogue 214100 38 46 38 5 NIGHT OR DAY - Franz Ferdinand 59350 39 34 15 12 BACK AT YOUR DOOR - Orville Peck & Debbii Dawson 203300 40 40 40 8 YOUR NAME IN LIGHTS - Simple Minds featuring Sarah Brown 85200 41 35 26 8 SUPERSCAR - Adela 134850 42 57 42 4 GIMME LITTLE SIGN - Brenton Wood 37750 43 39 39 8 MISERERE - Pet Shop Boys 105600 44 41 4 17 HIGHER - Tom Grennan 499850 45 45 1 21 HEART LIKE MINE - Sam Feldt featuring Rosa Linn 1058100 46 67 46 2 NO BAD VIBES - Jazzy & KILIMANJARO 19250 47 64 47 3 I’M IN LOVE... - Andy Bell featuring Dot Allison and Michael Rother 26600 48 53 48 5 HURT - OneRepublic featuring Jelly Roll 46250 49 25 12 14 THE FEELING - Rudimental, 1991, PNAU & AR/CO 297200 50 NEW 50 1 A TEAR IN SPACE (AIRLOCK) - Glass Animals 12000 51 36 36 8 TANGERINE RAYS - Zedd featuring Bea MIller & Flood 93250 52 43 2 17 EVIL WOMAN - Duran Duran 545800 53 63 53 7 VIVA L’OPERA - Armin van Buuren featuring Natalie Gioia 46250 54 42 12 12 I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES - The Jackson Sisters 255050 55 55 4 40 FEEL - Pet Shop Boys 1071500 56 50 20 12 SOMEONE FOR ME - Kylie Minogue 174400 57 NEW 57 1 PINK PONY CLUB - Chappell Roan 10400 58 44 16 13 ALL THE YOUNG DUDES - Pet Shop Boys 199700 59 62 59 8 NICE TO MEET YOU - Myles Smith 59900 60 59 10 24 DIE WITH A SMILE - Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars 430900 61 56 4 34 BIRDS OF A FEATHER - Billie Eilish 756650 62 66 62 4 LOVE ME FOR A REASON - The Osmonds 25000 63 69 63 3 LET ME IN - The Osmonds 18400 64 68 64 3 COLD DREAMING - Doves 18800 65 NEW 65 1 FANCY - Artemas 7000 66 NEW 66 1 CONTROL OF ME - Topic x Daecolm 6800 67 73 67 2 BLOODSHOT - Enter Shikari 12000 68 70 68 3 HEY YA! - Tom Speight featuring Lydia Clowes 18000 69 NEW 69 1 CRIMINALS - Meghan Trainor 6200 70 74 70 2 BUILD IT UP - Franz Ferdinand 11200 71 NEW 71 1 NO ONE NOTICED - The Marias 5800 72 NEW 72 1 MESSY - Lola Young 5600 73 71 71 4 BUG - Fontaines D.C. 21800 74 NEW 74 1 THE KILLING MOON - Echo & The Bunnymen 5200 75 NEW 75 1 FOLLOW ME - Special Interest featuring Amanda Lear 5000 DROP OUTS 23 4 13 LEFT TO MY OWN DEVICES - Pet Shop Boys 487050 26 1 10 WHAT HAVE I DONE (TO DESERVE THIS) - Pet Shop Boys and Dusty Springfield 527000 47 47 4 SAY HELLO WAVE GOODBYE - Soft Cell 47100 51 34 11 YOUNG LION - Sade 142450 52 19 13 DISEASE - Lady Gaga 166600 54 8 21 WALK AWAY RENEE - The Four Tops 419600 58 1 19 LOOKING THROUGH THE WINDOWS - The Jackson 5 842350 60 31 9 SAY GOODBYE TO MUM AND DAD - Tears For Fears 122000 61 19 14 GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF - Chesney Hawkes 185650 65 36 8 RISK IT ALL - Shy FX featuring Maverick Sabre 97450 72 70 3 YES I CAN - Bonnie Tyler 17000 75 66 7 WINTER SONG - Mike Batt featuring Paul Carrack 40400
