Hi Alex, there's so much music about it's hard to keep up these days, and I'm out of touch with chart stuff for the most part too! I hear them once and then never again unless I buy them 😮I bought the Girls Aloud and Kim Wilde so I know them, but GA have a fab new old unreleased single called Singapore out now which is lovely. Worth searching it out, you might like it 🙂

Light My Fire is a very nice cover of the Jose Feliciano version from 1968, a big fave of mine as a kid, so Will was starting to change my view of him a bit - it was quite unexpected, and it was great to see the Doors song get an official number one. I'd have this track higher up. Unchained Melody OTOH, was one cover too many, I mean Robson Jerome had only just tried to ruin a classic that wasnt that long ago since it almost sold a million. Sheesh, how unoriginal a choice in song can you make. Better than Robson-Jerome is all I can say. A Little Less Conversation was a fun Elvis remix, an update and boost for the millenium, I like it but its not one I can hear a lot of. I saw Ben Porstmouth, top Elvis tribute act on Saturday and he didnt do it, which I thought was a lost opportunity instead of a cover of My Way or Youve Lost That Lovin' Feeling. That would have been fun. Not a fan of Garth Brooks and Ronan's ballad covers, yawn, much lower down for me. Atomic Kitten is a Primark knock-off of an original quality creation, and also would be lower for me. So the only actual new song comes out of this quite well by default, for Oasis. Not one of their classics, though. I'd slot it in behind Will Young and Elvis.

ooh another 39 well done Rollo! a bit late for friday's I was busy preparing for hobnobbing with Red Dwarf, Aliens, Star Wars, Doctor Who, Young Ones actors at a Comic Con, and Ben Portsmouth aka top Elvis tribute act. You'd think it was Elvis on stage...! round 1: 39 round 2: 39 3 in 10: help me rhonda god only knows good vibrations todays: round 1: 39 round 2: 36 2 years out 3 in 10: the walk, love song, close to me

1 1 36 NEW LONDON BOY - Pet Shop Boys 2559750 This spoke to me like no other track this year, and topped my charts for 2 or 3 months as an album track before finally getting a single release along with All The Young Dudes. Obviously, it's not remotely commercial, but the lyrics caught me as a reminder of the early 1970's, and a life that I might have had in a different set of circumstances if we had had the internet in those days to find out stuff. It's a pretty autobiographical story song for Neil I think as he moved to London to work as a music journalist. The melody is just gorgeous, there's a sax sound to underline the mournful-lost-past-times mood, and a mid-song West-End-Girls-reminding rap that also brings back the 80's as wel as the 70's. The album seemed to me to have themes in batches of 3 songs, and this fit beautifully in with Dancing Star (and A New Bohemia) as referencing the past for those of us of a certain age. And of course Neil & Chris have more entries than anyone else on the Top 100. It's not always guaranteed, but this album was the Soundtrack to driving round the Lake District when it was fresh and new and there was much to love.

2 1 33 LATE NIGHT PHONE CALL - Reverend And The Makers 1681200 Already at 12 with the Lottery Winners, the Rev and The Makers came back at Christmas with gospel backing chorus, strings and brass, rock-ballad that fit the Christmas mood perfectly, arguments, the pub and love. This brilliant ballad had a 50's feel-good and down-to-earth vibe and goose-bump-inducing lead vocal for their 4th chart-topper in the last few years this decade. John's vocal was always good back in the brief chart career, but older John has depth and emotion in spades thse days, one of the best vocalists around, bar none, and it's a tragedy that "proper singers" (or those that sound genuinely emotionally invested in a good range vs the current fashion for hystrionics/shouting/crying loudly in many cases) don't get more notice. In a normal year this would easily have been top track of the year.

3 1 29 COMING BACK TO ME GOOD - Kasabian 1355300 And the Bronze medal goes to....Kasabian. They haven't had hits for quite some time, and some hard-core fans seem unhappy with the departure of lead vocalist Tom Meighan from their heyday but Sergio Pizzorno can do no wrong for me as new main lead vocalist in Kasabian or as The SLP, his pseudonym for solo stuff, including a chart-topping biggie in my charts. This single even outdid that one in my affection, and much as I like their early stuff from the 2000's, this one has an epic traditional poprock hook and production that just grabs me. I love a melodic song that romps along smoothly and hits at the emotions.

4 1 19 SATURN RETURN - Reve 1319700 And the dance tracks keep on coming, this time from Reve, heading into the pop arena of a Dua Lipa vibe, love the synthy/strings chords on this and the low-key tune building up to a sultry banger of a chorus that never quite arrives, it leaves you on the edge in anticipation. Canadian Reve hasn't charted outside of Canada which a shame, but this is lovely anyway, and any song using the name of a planet is always going to catch my eye.

5 3 28 CLOSER - Ben Hemsley featuring Chenai 1316700 Yet another monster dance trance-ish track that should have been huge, this one by unknowns (to me) Ben Hemsley twiddling the knobs and Chenai on vocal - yet it sounds like a big hit from a decade or three ago - and it didnt even top my charts, it just had a very long run at the top end peaking at 3, and like Feel peaking at 4, is likely the biggest track ever to peak at 3 - it was just unlucky to clash with a couple of even bigger tracks. Not entirely unlike Robert Miles' Children hook speeded up as a base to the track - it may even be a sample - but Chenai's vocals lift it well up.

6 1 26 GOOD MOURNING - Shaznay Lewis featuring Shola Ama & General Levy 1297850 A 90's acts collab here that was as good as, or rather even better than, anything Shaznay did in All Saints or solo, or Shola Ama and General Levy did in their heyday. I'm using the word "exciting" again, this is a major comeback that should have been huge, what a track, grabbing the best of All Saints sound, hitting the drum'n'bass rhythm big time and it's perfect from beginning to end, a monster dance track with bite and melody.

7 1 20 EXTREME WAYS - Armin van Buuren & Moby 1297250 An early 2000's Moby track that I liked, but not quite enough to go top 10 at the time, Extreme Ways got used in cult movies and turned into one of his most popular tracks along the way. Armin van Buuren upped the ante on this top remix, I prefer it to the original, it's exciting and gave Moby his secod chart-topper in my charts with an oldie. Armin has been remarkably consistent over the last couple of years, he just does dance music the way I like it despite being around well ober a decade grabbing the occasional hit. Needless to say, it wasn't a hit. Hey ho.

8 4 57 FEEL - Pet Shop Boys 1227400 Peaking at 4 in my charts as an album track, and subsequently released as a single with a great video, this stayed on my chart for over a year, cos it's brilliant. It wasn't the most immediate track on the Nonetheless album but it had legs and quality, and outdid all of the other Pet Shop Boys on the list bar one. Lush, melodic and optimistic, and it ended up being the biggest track to ever peak at 4 in my personal charts - and oudoing rather a lot of the many many Pet Shop Boys number ones in my charts.

9 1 28 NEVER GOING HOME TONIGHT - David Guetta & Alesso featuring Madison Love 1181600 Talking of David Guetta, who still grabs chart hits as he pushes 60, something of a major achievement these days to be applauded - 20 years and counting - but this gem was bizarrely not one of them, not even with Alok on board, still good, and a great vocal from Madison Love. I really dont get why this anthem flopped when lesser tracks chart. Hey ho, everybody's wrong and I'm right, so there. 😇

10 1 23 CARRY YOU - Martin Garrix, Third=Party & Oaks featuring Declan J Donovan 1154500 How to get a dance hit in 2025 - afrobeats, or get a host of collaborators on the credit. Box ticked for the latter in this case, but they forgot to grad David Guetta or Calvin Harris. A shame as this is pretty good, Oaks has a great vocal style, and Declan J. Donovan is among the better of the shouty-straining male singers that dominate at present. Martin Garrix has had many a goodie over the last decade or so, so this fits in well with those, in a pseudo-Avicii style.

11 1 26 ECSTASY - Rose Gray 1151500 Rose has never troubled the charts, but makes good dance-pop singles, especially this one from 2023 that I got into belatedly. It's got a House production that would have gone down well in the 90's - or indeed now, but for some reason it didn't click. Maybe TikToketty should give it a boost, it's pure class. Or a TV series slot.

12 1 25 YOU AGAIN - The Lottery Winners featuring Reverend And The Makers 1116100 Two great traditional melodic poprock acts bangin' out major quality tracks and albums that deserve to be WAY better-known than they are, and as I keep on harping on, in former days they would have been, but the streaming era is not kind on mature retro genres. Two great singers in the Rev aka John McClure who sings in Sheffield-ese, and who had some 00's success which has continued in my year-end charts of late, and Katie Lloyd works well with male vocalists on songs with two points of view being expressed - there will be more from both in 2025.

13 1 25 HEART LIKE MINE - Sam Feldt featuring Rosa Linn 1102950 Take a Clocks sample, a Eurovision flop singer that still grabbed a global hit out of it - what do voters know eh?! - and a When Love Takes Over vibe, and then drop a banging dance tune that should have been huge but as it isn't 2008 it wasn't. Short and bangin'.

14 1 28 THE GIRL THAT I CALL HOME - Tears For Fears 1069300 This has that classic 80's Tears For Fears vibe, and Roland & Curt can never be written off, always liable to drop a great record out of the blue after a long lay-off. I find I have a lot of love for Roland and Curt since the loss of Rolan's wife and them getting back to record. This is a great song and could fit comfortably onto any of their big albums, I think. So, that'll be a 43 year-span of year-end top 100's then!

Oh I like that Herman's Hermits song, and the Adam Faith touches uh hoh were likely new to US audiences as Peter and the lads were being bigger there. It's not on my Hits CD so any vague familiarity with it must be from the time. Peter still touring the US as per usual. Tears I know from the time for sure, as with Ken who was big on TV of the time as a comedian who did the odd surprisingly good straight song. Plus, Diddymen for the kids, jokes for the grown-ups, ballads for the grandparents, that covered all bases really! And you couldnt get him off stage once on, right to the very end. The Everley Brothers' is one I dont know, a bit unremarkable. There were much better songs around they could have borrowed. You're My Girl, another I don't know, nice melody and vocal, a bit Ivy League. Surprisingly decent. So far, it's Herman for my rotw. Let's play The Hollies which I know well, as if it's not going to be my pick too - it's Graham Gouldman, jangly guitar and Clarke/Nash harmonies. Yes, just confirming, maybe a bigger pounding mix would improve it a bit, but easy win.

2 absolute classics in Youve Lost That Loving Feeling and Sadeness, the former was one I liked as a kid (my mum adored it) but never loved - and then as time passed in the 70's and 80's it grew in stature for me to become the greatest vocal performance by a duet of all time. It's not even close, it's sheer genius and one of the greatest recordings of all-time. Sadeness is hauntingly beautiful, and quite likely the best record of 1990 in a very strong year. Plus I was happy to see Sandra finally get a hit after the fab Maria Magdelena was robbed of a chart place. Hammer's Prince borrow was his best track to date, Snap's wasn't but it was OK, and the Grease megamix was a step too far and tainted the memory of a beloved cheesy fun film and soundtrack. Cliff, though, very happy to see it on top to give him the absolute unbeatable record of 5 decades in a row of number ones, which no-one surely could ever beat 😇It was also the last time Cliff's career had any sort of general public feelings of record-breaking well-being towards him after his 70's and 80's revival with some classy records that didn't top the charts - Devil Woman, Miss You Nights, Wired For Sound, All I Ask Of You among them.

SL2 is good, not heard it in years though. Bouncy fun! Both Jon Secada and Richard Marx topped my personal charts of the time, so a big fan of both, but Hazard has the edge, it's such a classic-sounding moody, dark track. Story songs go back to previous eras, but they have become increasingly unpopular in chart terms as time moves on, as most prefer to sing about themselves and feelings instead, so this one stands out.

Thanks Rollo! Glad I'm not the only one to find that Oasis no. 1 forgettable (and I have 2 hits cd's!) 😇 round 1: 33 missed one question oops. the year. round 2: 39 3 in 10: cornflake girl, and then i half remembered others while I panicked 😄

24th August 2025 Its 3 weeks on top for Walk Of Fame, still banging, but Miley is being chased by sombr's 12 To 12 banger up to 2. Chappell Roan jas a big climb inside the 40 to 8 with The Subway, her 4th top 10, almost monday get a 2nd top 10 with Jupiter - joining Saturn, Earth, Mars, Venus as top 10 planets in song titles. Good Neighbours are the highest new entry at 68 as Found U/Me is their 4th chart entry, ahead of KPop Demon Hunters global smash Golden in at 78 for the animated movie. Jonas Brothers make it two on the chart as I Can't Lose grabs their third of 2025, and Morgan Wallen belatedly charts with his Tate McRae collab What I Want. That leaves Benson Boone's 5th chart hit as Mr Electric Blue also finally drops into my chart, Royel Otis get a second entry of the last 12 months with an album track - Dancing With Myself - as Ella Eyre returns after a lengthy absence with dance bop Space and Will Young gets a very low-key return with the Spanish-guitar sounding Me Without You. 1 1 1 6 WALK OF FAME - Miley Cyrus featuring Brittany Howard 702200 2 9 2 5 12 TO 12 - sombr 195150 3 2 1 11 TOKYO RAIN - Loaded Honey 1008000 4 3 1 11 OVER - Loaded Honey 805750 5 5 3 13 ZOMBIE LADY - Damiano David featuring Dove Cameron 479900 6 7 6 6 FIVE MORE SECONDS - Seafret featuring KT Tunstall 191250 7 4 3 7 HARD TO BE HAPPY - Rob Thomas 354400 8 41 8 4 THE SUBWAY - Chappell Roan 70000 9 6 6 9 LET IT BE FOR LOVE - Armin van Buuren featuring JAI RYU 215600 10 11 10 6 JUPITER - almost monday featuring Jordana 171800 11 12 11 5 C’MON MARIANNE - The Four Seasons 129000 12 8 7 5 RAG DOLL - The Four Seasons 233000 13 15 13 5 DAWN (GO AWAY) - The Four Seasons 120400 14 25 14 4 REALLY LOVE - Loaded Honey 66850 15 14 1 15 DON’T SPEAK - Loaded Honey 804900 16 16 16 6 POISON VINE - Cast featuring P.P.

Robbie Williams gets a first top 10 in 9 years! Number one You Will Know was the last one, Pretending We Are Old Spice - oops sorry "all Spies" - gives him a first rock top-end slot in yonks. Two oldies get the highest new entries: 1984 classic Self Control from the late Laura Branigan is selling on the Sales chart, not quite sure why, but it lets the number 2-peaking gem to pop back in at 39 41 years on, and meanwhile the merely 23-year-old old clubbing fave At Night brings Shakedown back at 50. Down the lower end, newbies include Rob Thomas getting a second entry on the chart in Machine, CMAT gettinga debut with Euro-Country - as an old Doctor Who fan I just can't stop thinking of Cyber-Mat's when I see her name - while Sophie Ellis-Bextor is on 25 years on pretty much non-stop charting with Dolce Vita. Saint Etienne also grab a second on the chart with Take Me To Pilot, and finally Cat Stevens' 70's oldie Oh Very Young finally debuts courtesy of a touching finale spot in The Thursday Murder Club film. It came out in 1974 and wasn't a UK hit, and neither did I chart it, though it is quite nice and it might have charted had I been doing a Top 85 at that time as opposed to a Top 30 and then top 50 in 1975. So, justice is served and it's only 50-odd years late, a mere whipper-snapper compared to Summer Holiday's 63-year-wait. 1 2 1 6 12 TO 12 - sombr 365150 2 1 1 7 WALK OF FAME - Miley Cyrus featuring Brittany Howard 817200 3 3 1 12 TOKYO RAIN - Loaded Honey 1093000 4 6 4 7 FIVE MORE SECONDS - Seafret featuring KT Tunstall 256250 5 4 1 12 OVER - Loaded Honey 865750 6 5 3 14 ZOMBIE LADY - Damiano David featuring Dove Cameron 534900 7 8 7 5 THE SUBWAY - Chappell Roan 120000 8 7 3 8 HARD TO BE HAPPY - Rob Thomas 402400 9 9 6 10 LET IT BE FOR LOVE - Armin van Buuren featuring JAI RYU 260600 10 22 10 5 SPIES - Robbie Williams 90250 11 10 10 7 JUPITER - almost monday featuring Jordana 208800 12 11 11 6 C’MON MARIANNE - The Four Seasons 164000 13 12 7 6 RAG DOLL - The Four Seasons 265000 14 14 14 5 REALLY LOVE - Loaded Honey 95850 15 17 15 8 NO TIME TO TALK - Jonas Brothers 144950 16 15 1 16 DON’T SPEAK - Loaded Honey 829900 17 27 17 7 HAIRCUT - Reverend And The Makers featuring Vicky McClure 99400 18 19 18 12 BLOODLINE - Alex Warren featuring Jelly Roll 175100 19 20 10 14 LET’S RIDE AWAY - Avicii featuring Elle King 251250 20 16 16 7 POISON VINE - Cast featuring P.P.
