And for a topical ref today, The Jam have been played on the radio: Heat Surrender!

topical though 😄and can be taken as a Retro reference to 1978 hit Car 67 by Driver 67. maybe that needs to become a Tik Tok meme before kids get banned from it....

Thriller is a masterpiece and it charted far too low for 2 reasons: everyone (like me) had bought the album and that version was better than the single version, and the ground-breaking video got delayed and delayed from debuting, and when it did it was only on late-night TV so kids missed out. 10/10 annual chart visits overplays notwithstanding. On paper I should love Never Never, but I never never did. A bit too under-stated maybe 6/10. Paul's cover of the mini-classic reggae hit was nicely very different and the contribution of the Fabulous Wealthy Tarts on TOTP should not be under-estimated 9/10. Synchronicity II not remotely commercial and their first lower-chartin single, but still excellent though not heard it in years and years, my memory is "exciting": 8/10. Right By Your Side was unusually upbeat for Eurythmics, but not one of my faves from them 7/10. Undercover Of The Night the last excellent single from The Rolling Stones until Ghost Town, ignoring reissues and remixes. 8/10. Oblivious is a minor forgotten little gem 8/10. A Solid Bond In Your Heart, solid effort, but not top-notch Style Council 7/10. Calling Your Name is pleasant enough but the Monroe visuals made it bigger than it deserved 7/10. ABC's new musical direction, less strings and polish and romance, didn't really gel without Trevor Horn, but still good 7/10. Sun And The Rain not Madness' best single, they still have one more diamond to come though 7/10. Guns For Hire I have no memory of, as per usual for post-Bon Scott AC/DC formulaic singles. Musical Youth tackle the first reggae hit (if we don't call My Boy Lollipop ska) so it was nice for Desmond Dekker getting a call back 6/10. Only For Love better than the Kaja singles, but nothing that special 7/10. Cry Just A Little Bit one of Shaky's best singles, a pretty decent song as a non-cover 7/10. Lick It Up I vaguely recall not liking but not much more than that, as per usual for Kiss' brand of bland Glam Rock. Quo chucking out formulaic covers by this time, and if one was going to cover Elvis there are about 50 better songs to choose from 4/10.

ooh yes 39's all round well done 🤩 round 1: 30 doorbell ringing for last 2 questions oops. round 2: 33 Del Amitri always catch me out 3 in 10: Sweet Child O Mine, paradise City, Since I Dont Have You

Proper dance banger this one and still sounds good, Example seemed to be set for long success like Calvin or Guetta (my fave track was Example's collab with Pet Shop Boys) and then it all fizzled out sadly. I'd have this higher up the list I expect. That said the lower-peaking Nicole and Coldplay singles are even better than this track.

22nd June 1976 It's the long hot summer still ongoing, the ladybird invasion swarming over anything yellow such as my school bag and the school bus, and rain being a thing of the distant past, and on top of my charts it's Peter Frampton's Show Me The Way, 8 years on from his hits with The Herd. I got to see Peter as part of David Bowie's band on his Glass Spider Tour around 1987. Maureen McGovern meanwhile climbs to 2, a position she would have made had I allowed non-UK-Top-30 singles into my 1973 charts courtesy of The Poseidon Adventure movie's Morning After, Bryan Ferry leaps to 4 with Let's Stick Together, his highest solo single peak since A Hard Rain's A Gonna Fall, and equals Roxy's All I Want Is You. The highest new entry is the latest Beatles single taken from the White and the Blue albums, but mainly to promote a one-off compilation Rock 'n' Roll Music issued that summer and never to be issued again in any form. The USA got the great Got To Get You Into My Life as the hit A side, and the UK got Back In The USSR, a right old romp and fun Beach Boys parody. New in at 6 - for one week only as my Beatles Chart will be starting again next week to cover this and other tracks such as Twist And Shout (the B side to USSR is new in at 46). Meanwhile The Surprise Sisters follow-up Sideshow with their version of The Beatles Got To Get You Into My Life at 36. The Beatles version is still the definitive. Talking of The Beach Boys, Good Vibrations is up to 21 while B side Wouldn't It Be Nice debuts at 47. It will return in future years when it gets it's own A side status in the UK. Thin Lizzy get a first-ever top 10 as The Boys Are Back In Town leaps to 7, and Lee Garrett ditto up to 10 with his under-rated You're My Everything soul-disco goodie. Candi Staton is up to 12, The Real Thing to 14, T. Rex to 18 for 3 climbing classics and a debut for Queen with the next-best track off A Night At The Opera - though there were other options that could have been pushed too - You're My Best Friend new at 19. In the oldies arena, Hold Your Head Up gives Argent a 3rd chart run at 41, starting with 1971, then 1972 when it was a single edit, and Jonathan King bungs out his Loop Di Love for a 1972 chart-topper for me returning at 42. Actual new records debuting come from the fabulous Moonlight Feels Right, as seen in a Guardians Of The Galaxy movie more recently, and appropriately given the band is named Starbuck and the main character is called Star Lord. New at 43 and criminally never a UK hit, unlike the USA, while we had the lovely You Are My Love from Liverpool Express at 44 hitting instead. Finally, The Steve Miller Band follow-up The Joker two years on with the catchy Take The Money And Run - also not a UK hit as per The Joker.

well I can vouch for the Spanish liking to party in clubs at that time and earlier - as not in any way an outgoing party person, I enjoyed being there and soaking up the party vibes without having to be off my head 😄sadly I feel embarrassed to do that now, being so old. Plus I get annoyed when they play all the wrong records as opposed to dance bangers I like instead, current or old. I always think I could do a better job! I still stand outside to see what they are playing (it's open front in Gran Canaria so you can see and hear) out of curiosity, but 5 minutes is enough....😇

Edge Of Heaven was an EP I think (limited edition double pack on top of the single version) so that will have helped with sales, and track Where Did Your Heart Go more of a solo record really. I still like it a lot and the naughty lyrics an odd farewell choice, but it's not quite up to I'm Your Man in the Motown pastiche style, but better than Freedom and Wake Me Up Before You Go Go. Wham! only really did the 4 singles in that vein and this one had a bit more edge than the singalong Go Go and Freedom, for me, as the excitement levels are notched up, so likely this would rate a bit higher if I could remember what hasnt come up yet - just checked and oh yes indeed still some real pet hates to come, and a bunch I'd place lower oops! 😄

21 1 20 12 TO 12 - sombr 786100 sombr's biggest to date for me, and the track that converted me over, I'd just assumed he was a morose teen-aimed star before this, but this has an insistent rhythm and he's doing something different from the 2 ballads that got him noticed.

22 2 20 MYSTICAL MAGICAL - Benson Boone 785400 Benson was huge in 2025, but this is the single that broke big for me, great song, and great to see an upbeat pop song can still become a hit, and love the hook in the upper register, no-one else is doing that much these days.

23 1 19 THE SUBWAY - Chappell Roan 782450 A one-off single and the last new thing to date she's done, but what a gorgeous melody and heart-breaking lyric. Amazing, Chappell's second of the year, and the Cousin Itt impression in the video is welcome too.

24 2 21 CONTROL OF ME - Topic x Daecolm 778200 Irresistable Afro-beats on this one, took a while to hook into my brain but it's quite the ear-worm, and Daecolm's vocal is just dreamy. Love it.

25 1 16 IT'S A SIN (BRYCE MILLER MONSTER MIX) - Pet Shop Boys 744900 First number one to fall, and another cheat - it's really 1987, but this completely different orchestral version for a TV series theme isnt at all like the pounding electrobeats of the original. Dramatic and fab in its own right, so listed under 2025 and the second version for PSB to top my chart in.

26 5 20 UNCONDITIONAL - JADE 681550 Jade's 3rd and best on the list, love the switching from sweet pinging discopop to thrashing guitar and back again.

27 3 20 BACK TO FRIENDS - sombr 675150 Break-out new male Indie-pop-star in 2025, sombr has the knack for great singles with the sort of sound that doesn't usually cross-over.

28 4 22 TIME WILL TELL - Celeste 667450 Celeste has made my top 100 before, and this heart-felt ballad is pure class and emotion. Great vocal and utterly lovely.

29 3 20 ZOMBIE LADY - Damiano David featuring Dove Cameron 656100 Just when you think Damiano has done with his listings - he hasn't. Zombie Lady is best of all and his 4th in the top 104.

30 2 16 PINK PONY CLUB - Chappell Roan 636200 Technically this should be moved into 2020/1 listings, but as it is massively 2025 belatedly I'm allowing it! Two years in a row top 100 listings, with one more to come for Chappell.

Awww thanks! I agree about Agnes, I still get misty-eyed hearing Release Me - takes me back to drinking in a Gran Canaria bar with massive videoscreen on the tiny dancefloor, and her banger I Trance is almost as good. Jade has album tracks that are better than most pop acts singles, such a shame she's not getting the hits!

Dont remember the Derulo song 😲Obv I know Banana Boat Song, and love Harry Belafonte, but this seems like a dance-by-numbers as I play it. Nice production but nothing much to it. So what did I make of it at the time? I have no idea - number 19, it turns out, so the beats and production seduced me along with the Harry B reference but it's not in any way stuck in my mind. Sak Noel is another that has not stayed in my memory, but the title alone annoys me and it's quite repetetive in beats and melody and lyrics. Out of your head in a club it prob sounds better. Johnny? Talking to me? No habla Espanol, Perdon.... I didnt bother to chart this, so way down the list for me.

Great to see The Righteous Brothers on the list - I'm not sure they would have done that in the 60's with just the one big hit! The greatest-ever duo vocal performance recorded for a pop record deserves recognition - You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling. Nice Hanson make it too, they had a good run of pop singles and are much better than they were given credit for at the time. S Club had some great pop singles amongst the lesser stuff like their debut ditty, so that position is about right I reckon. Chaka Demus & Pliers is a surprise, but reggae getting on the list is worth it if Aswad, Bitty McLean, and other acts fall short. Jason's about right too, he had some good singles but a lot more less-good ones. En Vogue seem under-appreciated these days, so it's good they made the list, huge in the USA though. Classy.

Aww I like Boris Gardiner, and this was a pleasant example of what had morphed into Lover's Rock - laid-back reggae vibes aimed more at women than roots fans - see Maxi Priest and others. It's not exciting, but does music have to be exciting? Late-night winding-down niceness is fine by me. Elizabethan Reggae is his hit instrumental reggae version of the Mantovani/Ronald Neame song from the 50's, Elizabethan Serenade. Sounds like a Middle Ages melodic tune, written for Elizabeth II's coronation. I loved that tune as a kid. Especially The Gunter-Kallman Choir version, German language vocal version. I have said that before, but it's worth mentioning again till I squeeze one into a music competition (If I havent already and just forgotten - quite likely!) 😄

14th June 2026 It's a fourth early 70's chart-topper for Hot Chocolate in 2026, and their 10th in total, putting them equal with T.Rex in the top 20 list of Number Ones - Emma went top 10 in 1974 for me, but didn't have a long chart run. The very dark lyrics worked against it I think, but that guitar crescendo still hits me. Jungle leap-frog themselves as The Wave peaks top 5 so far compared to Carry On's 13. It's their 5th top 10 since Busy Earnin' did it 12 years ago. Reverend and The Makers make it 2 in the top 10 as they tot up 10 top 10's in 19 years, as Appleton bound into the top 30 as highest climber and just 4 new entries lets me reduce the chart length to 95. The highest is Carly Simon, veteran singer-songwriter of 54 years and counting, who returns with a great song Howl, in at 78 and her first chart entry since 1989's Let The River Run. It's been almost 2 decades since she dropped a new album. 3 other veterans also return this week, Cheryl and Jay of The Fizz, with the 2 new boys, keep the Buck Fizz chart span going at 45 years as A Crazy Shot In The Dark conjures up 1981 vibes at 93. Madonna meanwhile is on her 4th of 2026, with Love Sensation at 92, and her 3rd on the chart this week, as she extends her chart run to 42 years. Relative youngsters The Backstreet Boys rack up 30 years of charting with a movie soundtrack song, Bottle Up at 95, and their first new material charter in 7 years. 1 4 1 8 EMMA - Hot Chocolate 557000 2 3 1 5 CRYING OVER YOU - Reverend and The Makers 545000 3 1 1 8 LOVE CONTROLLER - Demi Lovato 523300 4 8 4 7 NEVER CAN SAY GOODBYE - The Jackson 5 178600 5 31 5 3 THE WAVE - Jungle 86650 6 2 1 5 YA YA YA - JONAS LOVV 510000 7 9 7 7 RUMOURS - Hot Chocolate 205250 8 6 6 11 SUGAR - Simien & Akon 365150 9 5 5 6 MASTER JACK - Four Jacks And A Jill 225000 10 18 10 5 FOREVER - Reverend and The Makers 99650 11 7 4 9 CHUCK THE MONEY - Stephen Sanchez 297100 12 17 12 7 YOU COULD'VE BEEN A LADY - Hot Chocolate 128700 13 10 10 8 FREE TO LOVE - Duran Duran featuring Nile Rodgers 145950 14 11 1 11 CLICK CLACK SYMPHONY - RAYE featuring Hans Zimmer 841100 15 23 15 7 CAN'T SIT STILL - Lainey Wilson 108500 16 26 16 6 STRUCK - Charlotte MacInnes 92800 17 29 17 5 GO - The Chemical Brothers featuring Q-Tip 71200 18 27 5 18 DRIVE SAFE - Myles Smith & Niall Horan 541000 19 24 19 8 MR KNOW IT ALL - Teddy Swims 131300 20 13 13 11 CARRY ON - Jungle 208750 21 21 1 6 LOVE IS LIFE - Hot Chocolate 338500 22 15 1 7 BROTHER LOUIE - Hot Chocolate featuring Alexis Korner 546500 23 28 23 8 IN MY ROOM - Linda Ronstadt 116100 24 16 16 10 BEAUTY PAGEANT - Holly Humberstone 169600 25 12 3 6 LIFE'S TOO SHORT - The Lightning Seeds 323750 26 36 26 8 JOKE ABOUT DIVORCE - Blossoms 103650 27 41 27 6 I'LL BE THERE - The Jackson 5 70050 28 22 2 8 ONE BAD APPLE - The Osmonds 328950 29 65 29 2 READY TO BEGIN - Appleton 25200 30 39 30 7 BRING YOUR LOVE - Madonna & Sabrina Carpenter 71850 31 19 19 9 I FEEL SO FREE - Madonna 136600 32 32 1 18 LUCKY AGAIN - Lykke Li 846550 33 20 5 7 YOU'LL ALWAYS BE A FRIEND - Hot Chocolate 257700 34 37 34 5 AIN'T NO SUNSHINE - Shaggy featuring Sting 66600 35 30 3 12 PHOENIX - Marshmello x Portugal.

Hi AH! 🙂 Hope the beach day was fab (if it has happened already!). My treat this week was Sparks in Bournemouth again, totally banging, a young band backing, they were amazing, almost as amazing as sprightly Russell and 80-year-old Ron, the crowd very enthusiastic. I finally got myself a top of the range smartphone so I can get decent photos and videos now, hooray! Fab charts as always! 🤩😎
