Everywhere is a great track, albeit overplayed lately, I bought the album in 87 and it's easily their best album after Rumours. I expect the singles choices were more to keep the writers happy, with Christine the easy-going "I dont mind waiting" outdoing both Nicks (largely absent with her solo stuff) and Buckingham - Big Love though is amazing and his guitar playing is still under-rated. Little Lies is still the jewel in the crown. I didnt know about the Marcia Griffiths cover, fond memories of Bob & Marcia days. Also didnt know Anne Murray did Who's Leaving Who - bit of a fan of her 70's stuff, but she was pretty much done as a radio play staple by 1986. Must dig those tracks out! Prove Your Love was a decent follow-up but its no Tell It! She still had a good ballad to come as she got bigger in the US than the UK.

11th January 1975 It's a second number one for Pilot and the second number one in January, as January goes where Just A Smile pioneered - to the top spot! ABBA get a third top 5 as So Long replaces it's B side at the top end, and the highest new entries enter at 6, for Olivia Newton-John on the lovely ballad Have You Never Been Mellow, and 9 for the rousing singalong from Guys & Dolls, There's A Whole Of Loving. The group includes Bruce Forsyth's daughter (and partner of Phil Lynnot) and future Dollar singers David Van Day and Therese Bazar. The Glitter Band meanwhile grab a second top 10, Goodbye My Love being the first since Angel Face, not counting the Gary Glitter backing stompers. Down the bottom end, Queen make it a 4th charter with Brian May's Now I'm Here at 63, Nigel Olsson gets a helping hand from the Elton John Band for his solo cover of The Bee Gees song Only One Woman, as first charted by me in 1968 for The Marbles, and George MccRae's US single (and non-UK single) I Get Lifted pops in too as You Can Have It All drops out. It's actually pretty good and a departure from the KC Miami sound. Rufus and Chaka Khan get a second entry, Once You Get Started a decent funk track, The Pearls make it 4 years in a row of minor records as Doctor Love flops, but enters at 73 here 2 years ahead of Tina Charles getting a hit with the song. Mick Robertson's follow-up to The Tango's Over was also flop, but the Magpie Tv presenter had an album out to promote and Then I Change Hands was OK. I liked it at the time but never managed to record it off the radio so I havent heard it in 50 years. On one play it's fairly subdued. That leaves another I charted at the time, Brian Protheroe's Fly Now, a jauntier follow-up to the fab Pinball, which it sounds like in places, but less of an impact emotionally. 1 ( 3 ) JANUARY - Pilot # 1 2 ( 1 ) LOVIN' YOU - Minnie Ripperton # 1 3 ( 2 ) #9 DREAM - John Lennon # 1 4 ( 9 ) SO LONG - ABBA # 4 5 ( 4 ) CHILD OF LOVE - Caston & Majors # 1 6 ( NEW ) HAVE YOU NEVER BEEN MELLOW - Olivia Newton-John # 6 7 ( 7 ) CAN’T GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD - Electric Light Orchestra # 1 8 ( 8 ) BE MY BABY - The Ronettes # 1 9 ( NEW ) THERE’S A WHOLE LOT OF LOVING - Guys & Dolls # 9 10 ( 28 ) GOODBYE MY LOVE - The Glitter Band # 10 11 ( 21 ) HOW DOES IT FEEL - Slade # 11 12 ( 11 ) THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN - Lulu # 7 13 ( 5 ) DOWN DOWN - Status Quo # 5 14 ( 6 ) I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU - ABBA # 1 15 ( 16 ) THE ORINOCO KID - The Wombles # 15 16 ( 10 ) BAD BLOOD - Neil Sedaka featuring Elton John # 10 17 ( 14 ) WALKING IN RHYTHM - The Blackbyrds # 4 18 ( 32 ) SINCE I FOUND MY BABY - Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose # 18 19 ( 36 ) TOBY - The Chi-Lites # 19 20 ( 12 ) SHA LA LA (MAKE ME HAPPY) - Al Green # 4 21 ( 13 ) WHERE DID OUR LOVE GO? - Diana Ross & The Supremes # 3 22 ( 15 ) YOU CAN MAKE ME DANCE, SING OR ANYTHING - The Faces featuring Rod Stewart # 15 23 ( 37 ) FOOTSEE - Wigans Chosen Few # 23 24 ( 24 ) SHAME SHAME SHAME - Shirley & Company # 24 25 ( 17 ) YOU’RE THE FIRST THE LAST MY EVERYTHING - Barry White # 2 26 ( 23 ) MS GRACE - The Tymes # 15 27 ( 48 ) DO IT, DO IT - The Peppers # 27 28 ( 49 ) PICK UP THE PIECES - Average White Band # 28 29 ( 33 ) CRYING OVER YOU - Ken Boothe # 29 30 ( 43 ) MY MAIN MAN - The Staple Singers # 30 31 ( 18 ) DREAMER - Supertramp # 15 32 ( 40 ) LADY MARMALADE - LaBelle # 8 33 ( 25 ) ALL I WANT IS YOU - Roxy Music # 1 34 ( 26 ) NEVER CAN SAY GOODBYE - Gloria Gaynor # 1 35 ( 30 ) YOU AIN’T SEEN NOTHIN’ YET - Bachman-Turner Overdrive # 1 36 ( 31 ) I GET A KICK OUT OF YOU - Gary Shearston # 1 37 ( 39 ) ANGIE BABY - Helen Reddy # 1 38 ( 27 ) LONELY THIS CHRISTMAS - Mud # 1 39 ( 47 ) PURELY BY COINCIDENCE - Sweet Sensation # 39 40 ( 46 ) MAGIC - Pilot # 20 41 ( 22 ) WOMBLING MERRY CHRISTMAS - The Wombles # 20 42 ( 19 ) SLEIGH RIDE - The Ronettes # 10 43 ( 20 ) CHRISTMAS (BABY PLEASE COME HOME) - Darlene Love # 4 44 ( 59 ) ROLL ON DOWN THE HIGHWAY - Bachman-Turner Overdrive # 44 45 ( 34 ) MIDNIGHT SHOW - Ron Dante # 22 46 ( 35 ) IRE FEELINGS (SKANGA) - Rupie Edwards # 10 47 ( 41 ) I CAN HELP - Billy Swan # 9 48 ( 54 ) I'M A WOMAN - Maria Muldaur # 48 49 ( 42 ) GET DANCIN’ - Disco Tex & The Sex-o-lettes # 2 50 ( 51 ) MORNING SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN - Donny & Marie Osmond # 3 51 ( 45 ) DRACULA’S DAUGHTER - Thunderthighs # 12 52 ( 57 ) BEACH BABY - The First Class # 1 53 ( 58 ) ARE YOU READY TO ROCK - Wizzard # 53 54 ( 52 ) HOW LONG - Ace featuring Paul Carrack # 1 55 ( 50 ) GOODBYE NOTHIN’ TO SAY - The Javells featuring Nosmo King # 12 56 ( 55 ) GONNA MAKE YOU A STAR - David Essex # 13 57 ( 63 ) THE LIFE OF THE PARTY - The Jackson 5 # 57 58 ( 38 ) STARDUST - David Essex # 9 59 ( 60 ) HURT SO GOOD - Susan Cadogan # 59 60 ( 66 ) NIGHTINGALE - Carole King # 60 61 ( 44 ) THEN HE KISSED ME - The Crystals # 1 62 ( 29 ) LOVE IS ALL - Roger Glover & Friends featuring Ronnie James Dio # 16 63 ( NEW ) NOW I’M HERE - Queen # 63 64 ( 53 ) HEY MR CHRISTMAS - Showaddywaddy # 20 65 ( NEW ) ONLY ONE WOMAN - Nigel Olsson # 65 66 ( NEW ) I GET LIFTED - George McCrae # 71 67 ( 68 ) SUGAR CANDY KISSES - Mac & Katie Kissoon # 67 68 ( 62 ) KILLER QUEEN - Queen # 1 69 ( 70 ) TWO SLEEPY PEOPLE - Phillip & Vanessa # 69 70 ( NEW ) ONCE YOU GET STARTED - Rufus featuring Chaka Khan # 70 71 ( 71 ) PLEASE TELL HIM THAT I SAID HELLO - Dana # 71 72 ( 72 ) STAR ON A TV SHOW - The Stylistics # 72 73 ( NEW ) DOCTOR LOVE - The Pearls # 73 74 ( NEW ) THEN I CHANGE HANDS - Mick Robertson # 74 75 ( NEW ) FLY NOW - Brian Protheroe # 75

Thanks Rollo and Jade and I hit a bump immediately! :lol: Inspired by my poor performance watching the TV version of Popmaster last night, I wouldnt have made the final far too many 21st century questions like Billie Eilish, Lewis Capaldi, Will.i.am, Tom Grennan most of which I didn't buy and only ever heard once or twice unless radio 2 played them :lol: I knew the Capaldi but got the title mixed up B-) Round 1: 36 ( ) Round 2: 36 (one year out) 3 in 10: 2 ( ) the other biggie he said before I got it, at which point I drew a blank :o

pink and evanescence for me too, so gone tactical to keep Kylie in a bit longer, its a classic!

Climie Fisher was a big 1987 fave of mine, I bought the single then so I didnt bother buying the remix and just played the original version a lot. Rod missed out on a big hit there....! A shame Heart was so low, but the video must have boosted sales in later weeks, it's one of their best.

I adore Heart, one of my top tracks of the 80's, have never tired of it and it's one of their most joyous, though it's not one they have tended to do on tours except on Hits tours. I'm Not Scared is also great, in either version - the Introspective long version by PSB is also terrific and could easily have been a hit single. A-ha were still on form with Stay On These Roads, though I didn't love it as much as the earlier stuff, and Sinitta's was probably my fave of hers - because it was less the annoyingly novelty of Toy Boy, and more straightforward SAW pop, albeit not one of their greats.

Yes I also liked the Forrest cover, it kept the appeal of the original while making it sound very 80's and upping the tempo a bit. Of all the covers I've heard that's the best one.

Heart hate All I Want To Do Is make Love To You cos of the lyrics. I saw them on tour that year and they didn't do it. Pretty sure Macca has never chosen to sing Mary Had A Little Lamb in any concert since 1972, ditto Give Ireland and C Moon and only the latter has ever appeared on any hits collection. Happily I bought Mary had A Little Lamb, which was great for kids. As was We All Stand Together, which I also bought. Pretty sure that one never gets done either!

131 (48) COULD IT BE FOREVER - David Cassidy VFdedq_6Iy4 I loved the first season of The Partridge Family. I was living in Singapore, it was on TV, and I was mad on the records, especially I Think I Love You. By 1972, it was also on UK TV and the "band" had another UK hit with another record, a springboard for the new teen idol David Cassidy, who's actual step-mother Shirley Jones played his mum in the TV show. So I was still a fan of Cassidy, at least until the backlash and screaming girls started to get on my nerves and the TV show dropped into formula, losing the charm of the first 1970/71 shows. That explains this being a bit over-rated at 48 in 1972 - my Aunty (16 at the time) was a fan, so she bought the record, but I never got round to it. It's a nice ballad though, and Darlin' David emotes well enough, I always did like his voice, but these days most of the early solo output seems a little on the dull side, bar 2 absolute gems. Watch this space...

132 (36) ALONE AGAIN (NATURALLY) - Gilbert O'Sullivan gU3ubk8u7dA This is a sad, global ballad for Gilbert, and is clearly by far the best thing he ever did. I found the heartbreaking lyrics about losing parents something I didnt want to think about, and something I feared at 14. I never did enjoy the song for that reason in the years to follow, in the sense that the sense of melancholy always brought me down, and by the time the review came around in 2022 dad had already died and mum was bedbound and declining, and listening to this was not a happy experience. Should it be in the 1972 top 100? Absolutely. But I couldn't get past my own reality and so it's down at 132.

138 (59) LOOK WOT YOU DUN - Slade -QlsqyxUkro Slades's first single after the huge number one smash of Coz I Luv You, and the slightly menacing, stomping rhythm and chorus was one that impressed me at the time, just falling short of my top 50 of Year-End. It's still one of my fave Slade tracks, and is the top track of the 4 1972 singles, but they all fall short of the 100 this time.

141 (79) ME AND JULIO DOWN BY THE SCHOOLYARD - Paul Simon JVdlpZ4M-Hw Paul Simon's 2nd solo hit was this latin/samba-inspired singalong, inspired presumably from his own urban schooldays in New York City. It was a fave at the time and has dropped only slightly in my estimation since - if at all. I always admired Paul Simon songs, and his genre-hopping away from the folk duo roots of Simon & Garfunkel. And coming off from one of the greatest albums of all-time (Bridge Over Troubled Water) was never really going to hurt the chart chances of the singles off the new Paul Simon solo album, even when they weren't typical of what was charting.

aww that Twinkle version is cute :dance:

I liked both those Heart tracks first time round so it's nice to see them hit the top 10, and Belinda still doing great pop singles. I could take or leave the Bros and Tiffany singles though, nothing special, and iron maiden were very consistent in the 80's and 90's. They never varied the template and they never released anything near as tolerable as Run To The Hills. Can I Play With Madness? Technically, no, as Suggs had gone solo, but even if he hadn't the very worst Madness single would still piss all over Iron Maiden's output.. :rolleyes: :lol: Yes, I'm not a fan and it was a bad joke at the time too.... B-) Great airline pilot and swordsman though, our Bruce.

still enjoying every version of this show, human nature and ability to judge based on nothing much at all remains endlessly amusing. I like Minah, but she wont win and it's going to be very difficult for Faithful's to win if they end reveals along the way. I hope it's not Joe who wins, he is annoyingly always sure he's right even when he's wrong, loves leaping to conclusions. Frankie does that but at least she's remorseful and upset about it when she's wrong which is engaging. Alexander is the most deserving I think, he's so nice about everything.

Getting a top 5 is being wonderfully optimistic for Singerpurear, so thanks for that Dan :lol: We will have to give it a go :) Not sure we ever gone top 5 with odds-on predictions though so that sounds about right! I remember Jade and Lewww hyping Sandra many years ago so I'd guess that's the closest. (shh but I wouldnt put money on it being this contest though :teresa: we're going random again) :lol:

12th January 2025 It's a first new chart-topper of 2025 as ROSE and Bruno Mars irresistibly chant their way to to the top spot on APT. It sounded annoying on first listen, and not entirely unlike That's Not My Name, Ting Tings oldie, but it's really quite fab now the video's out, so ROSE gets a first number one and Bruno gets his first since Uptown Gunk in 2014, and Grenade and Marry You both did it in 2011, for his 4th in total, raising him from equal 81st on my all-time number ones list to equal 58th. There's still not a great deal of exciting new tracks being released, so two oldies make the top 10 instead, Tavares' Don't Take Away The Music hit 3 in 1976 and is back at 9, and The Proud One was The Osmonds last great record in 1975 but it peaked only at 14 as the band was on the decline by then, so it's justifiably finally in the top 10 50 years later, a great cover of The Four Seasons non-hit. They also enter with Let Me In, another great ballad and still in tribute to Wayne Osmond. Pet Shop Boys replace themselves in the top 20 as they make it 40-year chart-span with new music, as highest new entry comes from Jungle, still dropping great dance tracks at 64 with Keep Me Satisfied for an 11-year chart-span and counting. Andy Bell has a new track out, former guitarist in Ride and Beadie Eye, and it's a cover of The Passions' fab 1981 minor hit I'm In Love With A German Film Star. Dot Allison taking the honours for that, ex-90's One Dove vocalist. At 72, Tom Speight is back with his 6th or 7th chart entry, this one a very different understated ballad version of Outkast's Hey Ya, in a duet with Lydia Clowes. That leaves Doves returning with Cold Calling, their 8th chart hit, and first in 5 years in a span going back to 2002. 1 6 1 8 APT. - ROSE & Bruno Mars 429350 2 2 1 9 EXTREME WAYS - Armin van Buuren & Moby 884250 3 1 1 9 LATE NIGHT PHONE CALL - Reverend And The Makers 1112800 4 5 4 10 WITHOUT YA - Bakermat featuring Gladys Knight 406300 5 4 4 13 FANTASY - JADE 452400 6 3 3 9 DISCO AT THE STRIP CLUB - Reve 604500 7 10 1 10 SCREAMLAND - Father John Misty 582250 8 9 8 9 NOW OR NEVER (IT’S MY LIFE) - Bon Jovi x Pitbull 240250 9 13 9 6 DON’T TAKE AWAY THE MUSIC - Tavares 158200 515250 10 45 10 2 THE PROUD ONE - The Osmonds 55000 11 11 1 16 YOU AGAIN - The Lottery Winners featuring Reverend And The Makers 955400 12 7 4 12 LEFT TO MY OWN DEVICES - Pet Shop Boys 467800 13 8 5 6 HEAVEN MUST BE MISSING AN ANGEL - Tavares 249800 767600 14 14 14 13 TABOO - Kylie Minogue 221800 15 24 15 6 THE DARK END OF THE STREET - Pet Shop Boys 97850 16 15 15 9 ALL YOUR FAULT - Gwen Stefani 130250 17 21 17 7 CAN’T SLOW DOWN - almost Monday 119000 18 17 8 10 DISCO WITCH - LEXXE 283750 19 34 19 9 PEOPLE WATCHING - Sam Fender 122900 20 18 1 19 NEVER GOING HOME TONIGHT - David Guetta & Alesso featuring Madison Love 1045850 21 53 21 2 EUPHORIA - Armin van Buuren, Norma Jean Martine & LAWRENT with Alok 31000 22 22 1 9 WHAT HAVE I DONE (TO DESERVE THIS) - Pet Shop Boys and Dusty Springfield 508500 23 12 12 12 THE FEELING - Rudimental, 1991, PNAU & AR/CO 266350 24 26 24 6 NIGHTMARE - Geowulf 96000 25 32 25 8 MIDNIGHT TRAIN - Kim Wilde 94100 26 31 26 6 SUPERSCAR - Adela 103350 27 25 25 13 SHOULDA LEFT YA - Kylie Minogue 178800 28 28 1 19 THE GIRL THAT I CALL HOME - Tears For Fears 954600 29 27 15 16 HEAVY IS THE CROWN - Linkin Park 247800 30 51 25 7 TRUCKS - Cars On The Road Cast 115900 31 20 4 15 HIGHER - Tom Grennan 472600 32 35 15 10 BACK AT YOUR DOOR - Orville Peck & Debbii Dawson 168600 33 23 12 10 I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES - The Jackson Sisters 230700 34 16 16 11 ALL THE YOUNG DUDES - Pet Shop Boys 176250 35 37 35 6 ANOTHER NIGHT - Grace Davies 74800 36 19 19 12 DISEASE - Lady Gaga 155100 37 39 37 6 TANGERINE RAYS - Zedd featuring Bea MIller & Flood 64100 38 33 2 15 EVIL WOMAN - Duran Duran 520800 39 40 39 6 MISERERE - Pet Shop Boys 75000 40 48 40 6 LIVE FOREVER - Chesney Hawkes 56900 41 41 1 19 HEART LIKE MINE - Sam Feldt featuring Rosa Linn 1032100 42 49 42 7 LATE ’88 - Deacon Blue 61550 43 30 20 10 SOMEONE FOR ME - Kylie Minogue 151800 44 47 44 6 BOUQUET - Gwen Stefani 55150 45 36 34 10 YOUNG LION - Sade 130700 46 44 8 20 WALK AWAY RENEE - The Four Tops 408600 47 63 47 2 MORE THAN A WOMAN - Tavares 19700 532450 48 52 48 3 SAY HELLO WAVE GOODBYE - Soft Cell 34600 725450 49 57 49 6 YOUR NAME IN LIGHTS - Simple Minds featuring Sarah Brown 51200 50 58 50 3 NIGHT OR DAY - Franz Ferdinand 29400 51 60 51 5 BARBARELLA - Betty Boo 37150 52 43 31 8 SAY GOODBYE TO MUM AND DAD - Tears For Fears 112000 53 59 4 38 FEEL - Pet Shop Boys 1049900 54 46 1 18 LOOKING THROUGH THE WINDOWS - The Jackson 5 832150 55 55 4 32 BIRDS OF A FEATHER - Billie Eilish 738550 56 70 56 3 BEAUTIFUL THAT WAY - Miley Cyrus 22000 57 61 10 22 DIE WITH A SMILE - Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars 410800 58 42 19 13 GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF - Chesney Hawkes 178150 59 66 59 3 HURT - OneRepublic featuring Jelly Roll 22700 60 65 60 6 NICE TO MEET YOU - Myles Smith 42400 61 29 5 6 I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND - The Beatles 195700 62 38 36 7 RISK IT ALL - Shy FX featuring Maverick Sabre 90450 63 68 63 2 GIMME LITTLE SIGN - Brenton Wood 13600 64 NEW 64 1 KEEP ME SATISFIED - Jungle 7100 65 NEW 65 1 I’M IN LOVE... - Andy Bell featuring Dot Allison and Michael Rother 7000 66 69 66 6 WINTER SONG - Mike Batt featuring Paul Carrack 35400 67 56 56 6 HOT TO GO - Chappell Roan 47400 68 50 30 12 LONELY HEART - Alesso & John Alto 150800 69 72 69 5 VIVA L’OPERA - Armin van Buuren featuring Natalie Gioia 27800 70 73 70 2 YES I CAN - Bonnie Tyler 11400 71 75 71 2 LOVE ME FOR A REASON - The Osmonds 10800 72 NEW 72 1 HEY YA! - Tom Speight featuring Lydia Clowes 5600 73 74 73 2 BUG - Fontaines D.C. 10600 74 NEW 74 1 COLD CALLING - Doves 5200 75 NEW 75 1 LET ME IN - The Osmonds 5000 DROP OUTS 54 53 4 YOU GET WHAT YOU GIVE - New Radicals 42850 62 12 16 ALL MY LIFE - Purple Disco Machine & The Magician 295900 64 9 13 FREEDOM OF THE NIGHT - Sophie Ellis-Bextor 258900 67 30 11 HONEY - Lenny Kravitz 122150 71 50 7 FORBIDDEN ROAD - Robbie Williams 73100

Hi SSP! :) Hot To Go not moving! Triple Chappell top 3! Red Wine Supernova is my fave, was big on that one. OMD 7 :cheer: Pitbull/Bon Jovi, Gaga. Adela, Gwen, Zedd, Linkin Park, Pet Shop Boys, and a new entry from T'Pau to send me rushing to Youtube, makes for a varied set of fave climbers! fab chart! B-)

Hi SSP! :) Thanks for the picks and glad you like the oldie tributes B-)

Hey Sven! :) Hope all is great! If only APT had number one in the UK for the last 7 weeks! Great top 8 there, though two of them I havent charted yet. Robbie top 20, Sam Fender holding, and great to see Deacon BLue in the bubblers. Lush orchestration on that one. 2007 and top songs from Nelly F, Scissor Sisters, madonna, and Justin T. great charts! B-)

Hey Sven! :) Thanks for the picks! I have finally gotten onto the APT bandwagon, it should be the UK number one if there's any justice :cheer: cheers! B-)

Hi Sergej! :) Hope all is fab! Sam Fender top 10 :cheer: Myles Smith big climb, Biurning Down up, and JADE hanging in there are my highlights! great chart! B-)

Thanks Sergej! :) Take care too! B-)
