27th April 1976 It's 3 weeks on top for Fernando as it outdoes the 2 weeks Waterloo spent at 1, with Knock Three Times trying to grab a second spell at one but being held at 2, and Eloise trying to do the same at 3. In newer tracks Andrea True Connection takes More More More to 6, Isaac hayes gets a second top 10 5 years on from Shaft, and Paul Nicholas makes it a first top 10 with Reggae Like It Used To Be a decade ahead of switching back tom acting for his sitcom Just Good Friends. There's yet another golden oldie debut at 20 - Reflections Of My Life giving Marmalade a second of the year, but essentially being new to me, bar a few spins on radio in the years since 1969 when I lived in Singapore and missed it. Keith Emerson becomes the second solo ELP member to chart, the very ragtime instrumental Honky Tonk Train Blues at 32 demonstrating as ever that any type of music, of any genre, and any vintage can slip into my charts. It's not exactly Prog Rock, but fits in with all the other 1930's songs and sounds making a comeback in 1976. At number 41, DJ's Dave Lee Travis & Paul Burnett team up to do a UK parody of Convoy - it was funny the first time, and then got increasingly annoying as time went by. Laurie Lingo & his dipsticks unlikely to ever get radio plays again, which is not too disappointing. Bette Midler covers Frank Sinatra disco-stylee, moving on from her covers of 1940's Andrews Sisters to the 60's. It's not bad! The sadly now-late Neil Sedaka's comeback career was more or less dead in the UK in 1976, having kicked off here in 1972, but Neil is also going funky disco a tad on Love In The Shadows new in at 45 behind Bette. Talking of going disco, Mud return with a disco banger in the style of KC & The Sunshine Band, sort of, and it really is fabulous and under-appreciated then and now. Shake It Down is a total banger and should give hints what route Rob Davis will be going in the 90's - dance music, including some 21st century number ones for Kylie Minogue and Sophie Ellis-Bextor, among other hits for others. That's an unlikely ex-Glam Rock future career, but I caught Rob and Ray last year for some fun. New at 49 50 years ago, ahead of an Evelyn Thomas track I haven't heard since - Doomsday following up Weak Spot, and ahead of her 80's hits, in a very Northern Soul stylee. I'm enjoying as I play it for the first time in half a century!

It won't be long until this chart gets progressively chopped week by week, but in the meantime both She Loves You and I Feel Fine go top 10, the latter due to me buying a copy and sounding fine. 1 ( 2 ) GET BACK The Beatles featuring Billy Preston 2 ( 1 ) HEY JUDE The Beatles 3 ( 3 ) LET IT BE The Beatles 4 ( 4 ) STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER The Beatles 5 ( 5 ) THE BALLAD OF JOHN AND YOKO The Beatles 6 ( 7 ) PENNY LANE The Beatles 7 ( 6 ) ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE The Beatles 8 ( 8 ) HELLO GOODBYE The Beatles 9 ( 14 ) SHE LOVES YOU The Beatles 10 ( 15 ) I FEEL FINE The Beatles 11 ( 9 ) CAN'T BUY ME LOVE The Beatles 12 ( 10 ) HELP!

Bonkers is fun, not sure it would be quite this high for me (but it might be!) as there are a handful lower I'd rate higher, as I prefer melody to rhythm tracks and riffs. Great production here though.

Sweet Dreams is a sweet classic 10/10 for me. Perfect and exciting and moody. And that video was amazing. Genetic Engineering was a bit of a disappointment at the time at first, but it still went top 10 for me as all their singles had to date since Messages hit my top spot. Not heard it in ages, and it's practically upbeat and cheerful (for them) sound-wise. 8/10. Africa was a huge fave at the time, and played afterwards virtually weekly by Steve Wright who was a big fan at the time. Consequently its monster-streaming/radio plays have dampened its appeal a bit, I need a break from it for a few years. Still a 9/10 though. Tunnel Of Love is a goodie, not heard it in a while 8/10, Get The Balance Right was OK but not among my faves of the early Depeche stuff. 7/10. Love On Your Side sticks in the mind better, pretty good 8/10 and Tom Bailey touring this year. Hey Little Girl obviously Roxy influenced and fab, 9/10. Icehouse were always under-rated in the UK. Marillion I barely recall at all, so I'd guess a 5/10. Thin Lizzy's came and went pretty quickly, my memory is I liked it, but not amongst their classics 6/10. Spandau really getting annoying by this stage, Communication just grated and still does 3/10. Tomorrow's Just Another Day not Madness' top tier but always charming and very London-centric 7/10. Musical Youth was a bit of fun, still, and had a bigger run than one might have expected. I liked this one 7/10. She Means Nothing To Me was a great return for Phil Everly and those harmonies all present and correct with an assist from Cliff, an under-rated singer for all his success. Written by Love Sculpture/Airwaves member and writer-producer John David, a presence on some Dave Edmunds, and hit writer for Quo, Alvin Stardust tracks in the 80's. 8/10. Baby Come To Me is nice enough for what it is, nothing exciting but pleasant radio fodder 7/10.

Dreams is very nice, Tease Me fun, M People pretty good and Rod's very dull. Brown Eyed Girl aside (and maybe Bright Side Of The Road), I very much have a blind spot for Van Morrison and his songs. Oops!

Shotgun Wedding its the 1972 Northern Soul reissue I knew it - I'm not sure Merseyside Radio or TV of the time were playing it much as it seemed new to me. I'm still fond of it. I was a member of the Man From UNCLE shop-bought club badge, loved the cool show, and Ilya Kuryakin was everybody's fave. I dont remember this at all! David McC went on to career-long success with films, Colditz, sci-fi Sapphire & Steel with Joanna Lumley and latterly NCIS. Mum used to love that show. This track is bizarre! Nancy's copycat follow-up not quite so iconic, but greater things ahead with Lee Hazlewood. The Searchers' Stones cover is also new to me - prob time I bought their greatest hits! I quite like it. Wayne Fontana also continuing the trend of tracks I've never heard, it's OK too and my mind goes back for no reason to the electric meter in the flat when the coin box dropped off and me and my brother played a great game putting the shilling in the meter, catching it, and putting it back in again over and over. Mum thought that shilling lasted a long time! Still had to pay up when the man came round to collect and it was short. And Bob Dylan's like all bar nancy and Roy C, is new to me. Dylan has several classics on the Most-streamed top 300 of the 60's (USA or global version, not sure which), but this isnt one of 'em. Lyrically not as interesting as, say, his Walt-Whitman-inspired Hard Rain's A Gonna Fall and the tune isnt a classic. So it's a big Roy C winner for me which says more about society than this relationship song, Shotgun Wedding's being a thing and all that.

Thanks Jade, and well done Rollo another 39 and another frustratingly close one-answer-short round for us all then! 😮 I note I'm still spelling Sheriff wrong 52 years on unless I stop to think about it...😄I blame the once-famous actor Omar Sharif, though I dont think Doctor Zhivago's script said "I Shot The Sharif" round 1: 39 round 2: 36 3 years out! bonuses: yes. 3 in 10: Design For Life, Motorcycle Emptiness, Masses Against The Classes

Bulletproof very much the shining diamond in a good batch of tracks released - I went to see La Roux at the time when I used to get out more than in recent years. Decent gig too, same place as I saw James t'other week (Hi Simon). The old Opera House in Boscombe, now an O2, great venue.

One Newton-John short of a top mark Jade, and thanks Rollo! I guess If Not For You is more thought of as a George Harrison hit these days (but not in the UK where so many Beatles album tracks did not ever get released, solo or together). Talking of which, Helen Wheels is easier to remember if you think of it as the pun name of their then-actual car (eg Hell On Wheels). A bit like avoiding calling your daughter Helen if your surname is Back or Earth....😇 round 1: 36 Cliff! Fell for the same mistake as the contestant round 2: 39 3 in 10: Promises, I Shot The Sherrif, Layla

This Town didnt make a lasting impression on me, this is like hearing a new track. It's OK but I wouldnt call it a classic of any of them. When Love Takes Over, though, a proper dance club hit that sticks and my impression is it would be top 10 for me. Kelly Clarkson's is better than most of her hits, but that's not a particularly high bar for me, she'd be a bit lower down sadly. Boom Boom Pow was a club monster, remember jiggling to the video 2 for 1 beers in each hand as it was on the giant dance screen in Mykonos club Play Del Ingles - it sounded unique, which was why I rated it, and likely would be top 10 for me. Meet Me Halfway, though, was the weakest of the trio of chart-toppers for Black Eyed Peas for me and I'd knock it down a few spots. The Fear, ah that's classic pop, it would be hereabouts or a bit higher for me. It might even be top 5 depending on what's left to come....

Voted. There's one discovery for me, and 9 I already knew I rated, 2 of them stone cold classic faves ❤️

Billie Jean one of the greatest records of the decade, the year, and a game-changing video for a spooky song as Michael shows he really can write his own classics for the first time ever, so this was a pivotal moment in pop. 10/10. The Cutter is fab, urgent and exotic, the riffs are as great as the song 9/10. Change is also excellent, but a tad less fab compared to other Tears For Fears singles of the time 8/10. 1999 and one I bought first time round as Prince started to sound like someone to watch 9/10. It's a dark party, but a great one. Too Shy, great intro, catchy ditty, and I like this sultry pop more now than I did at the time, when it got on my nerves 8/10. China Crisis were alwasy worth hearing, love the gentle harmonic synth mood on Christian 9/10. Indeep casting a long shadow with Last Night, and another I like more now than at the time 8/10. Rocker's Revenge cover Jimmy Cliff with style, having given Eddy Grant a hit song it's to see this one chart too 8/10. Central Line's cover is fine 6/10, but it's not a patch on George Benson or Nat King Cole's versions of the standard Nature Boy from 1948 - written by eden abhez, a man ahead of his time, a sort of hippie, who despite his success with this song lived outdoors under the L on the Hollywood sign and ate fruits and berries. Somebody really needs to do a film based on his bizarre life.... The Chinese Way was nice enough, cocktail jazz with a bit more oomph and typically harmonic in the vocals for Level 42. 6/10. Wham Rap more Young Guns Part 2 (though it came first) but not quite as in-ya-face, and more teen strop 8/10. Jennifer Warnes was owed a hit, due to Right Time Of The Night flopping in the UK, but this wasn't in the same league, despite the 60's UK soul/Blues-wannabe Joe Cocker being on it 4/10. Shiny Shiny was catchy quirky fun, but not as top-notch as John Wayne 7/10. Sharon Redd a good bangin dance number of the time 6/10.

well time to catch up after being away most of the last 2 weeks! Down Under a big number one for me, very Aussie and amusing and culturally relevant at that time (and since) 9/10, U2 New Year's Day and their first wide-screen rattling rock riff epic, great track 9/10. The Phil Spector vibes of the fabulous Story Of The Blues remain soaring 10/10 and a number one for me. Electric Avenue is a stomper, but I still prefer his reggae biggies of 79/80 and Equals stuff, but very much a classic for Eddy here 8/10. Jonathan King hd already charted with Gloria in a minor way - thanks mainly to people like me buying the other co-disc Everyone's Gone To The Moon as part of the single package - but I never liked the song much in any version 6/10. Steppin' Out is Joe Jackson's best record, classy urban Jazz mood as opposed to Jumpin Jive big band jazz era or New Wave. 9/10. European Female another moody laid-back retro alternate 60's goodie 8/10, from The Stranglers, and after some pretty uneventful covers The Belle Stars show they should have gone with their own stuff from the start, Sign Of The Times far and away their best record 9/10, while Oh Diane was a bizarre one, having had a string of great Stevie and Christine singles that flopped (see the brilliant Gypsy, Sara, Hold Me) and this piece of catchy fluff got to be a hit 8/10. Changes, less memorable than earlier Imagination stuff, 6/10, Twisting By The Pool another bizarre retro-leaning hit and never one I was mad on 5/10, Billy Grifffin's has been forgotten with the passage of time, but I liked it then and havent heard it in decades so an assumed 7/10, and indeed both the Melba Moore and Marvin Gaye minor hits fit into the nice but forgettable category given I've forgotten how they go but they arent going to be bad as such 5/10.

Great and varied top 50 there Da Tilt, nice graphics too of course 😎I pretty much like all of them bar two and love most of them - I have always struggled with Stiff Little Fingers and Cockney Rejects. I bought 30 of them as singles at the time, have about 40 of them on CD compilations I reckon, too, with just a couple pending downloads when I get round to it. 😄

Starship would be lower down for me, I like it but it's a bit overdone on oldies radio - Albert Hammond I'm a fan of, Diane Warren's songwriting always professional, and Grace Slick could be epic (Dreams), but all concerned have done even better stuff. (But not We Built This City yuk!)

doh! been away so missed the vote! Not that it would have changed the result: Wah! Eurythmics Michael Jackson Men At Work Prince *************** Bonnie Tyler Style Council Culture Club David Bowie Altered Images

Thanks Jade and sorry I've been away to Merseyside seeing lots of old friends in that area, 2 of them lived at Churchdown in Gloucester back in the day after we at uni, 2 were next door neighbours nearby in 1974, and our New Zealand tour guide was there too in 1974 - I was showing photos of the holiday around. Co-incidences in life always amaze me. Well done both on the 39's and the three Searchers tracks Jade! I did have a go in the car driving on thursday but I cant remember what I got😎 round 1: 39 round 2: 39 3 in 10: All I Have To Do Is Dream, Claudette, Crying In The Rain

Pet Shop Boys pure class as always, and easily my fave of the latest entries, though Lisa Stansfield is lush, Haddaway a dance banger classic, and Snap! not bad either.

Love the janet jackson and ace of base tracks. Ub40s is one of their best covers and house of pain is a goodie though to this day im still disappointed its not Harlem Shuffle after the intro. The human league and crown heights affair samples are top notch for Utah Saints and its great to see lulu and her brother write a hit song for tina turner!

Hi Da Tilt! Ooh massive climb for Sabrina! Fab top 3, Elizabeth Taylor up, and a lot of great tracks dropping. Great charts though👍 Cheers 😎

19th April 2026 It's 2 weeks on top for RAYE and Hans Zimmer as they hold off Take That from the top spot, Harry Styles goes back up to a new peak of 4 while simultaneously leaping his 2017 track Sign Of The Times to 15, way higher than first time round thanks to its key moment (the song) in the fab movie Project Hail Mary. Neil Sedaka leapfrogs himself twice as Bad Blood finally gets a top 10 slot 51 years after peaking at 11, with some help from Elton John, no stranger to getting top 10 oldies in my charts or the UK charts. I saw Suzi Quatro in fine form on Monday night, though she didn't do the current single (no Alice Cooper there, but holding at 76 ) so maybe next week some oldies or newies will pop in - I bought the new album, signed by Suzi, and gave her a lonely wave (just me there) as she was driven out past the stage door as I was walking by en route to my car up the West Cliff coast in Bournemouth, starry starry night too. Which reminds me Vincent is up to 14. Suzi can and did play classical on piano, drums and bass for anyone expecting her to be a one-trick pony. Highest new entry is Stephen Sanchez on his 5th or 6th charter, Chuck The Money at 59 being not unlike Feel It Still, Portugal The Man also climbing co-incidentally to 32 this week. Lana Del Ray finally gets that Bond Theme out and in at 63, albeit via a PC game theme version of Bond - better late than never, it's lush and fits in nicely with her "Nancy Sinatra for the 21st Century" early references, given Nancy still has the Best Bond theme in You Only Live Twice. Madonna has a shock new entry, her second of the year with new material but this is from Confessions On A Dancefloor 2, and bodes well as she seems to be going back to dance music, I Feel So Free at 66. Madge is the same age as me, more or less, so yay for her. That'll be 42 years of charting then. Moya/Maire Brennan of Clannad passed away, sadly, this week, so Clannad's evocative oldie from 1982 is back at 74 - I never watched the TV show Harry's Game, but the theme tune is just wonderful. Kylie has a classic oldie (topping my chart in 2002) used in an advert which has boosted downloading interest and gives me an excuse to have Love At First Sight back, at 83 and 2 spots ahead of an even more unexpected return from an 80's pop star - Mari Wilson had a string of hits in 1982/3, best of which is Just What I Always Wanted, and her new one borrows the vibes of that one, so it's Good News having her back after a gap of 42 years - she has been away as long as Madonna has been having hits! Not the longest time away ever from my charts, but it's up there.... 1 1 1 3 CLICK CLACK SYMPHONY - RAYE featuring Hans Zimmer 350100 2 2 2 5 YOU'RE A SUPERSTAR - Take That 259700 3 3 1 10 LUCKY AGAIN - Lykke Li 592400 4 9 4 7 AMERICAN GIRLS - Harry Styles 235250 5 10 5 8 VERTIGO - AVALAN ROKSTON 289400 6 13 6 8 BAD BLOOD - Neil Sedaka featuring Elton John 198300 7 8 5 10 DRIVE SAFE - Myles Smith & Niall Horan 312600 8 4 1 8 I CAN'T WAIT - Bob Sinclar & Kiesza 760000 9 5 1 8 THE IMMIGRANT - Neil Sedaka 577000 10 6 3 8 LAUGHTER IN THE RAIN - Neil Sedaka 399300 11 7 1 10 DON'T WANT YOUR LOVE - Illenium & Ellie Goulding 656500 12 11 7 8 PRAYER - David Guetta, Kiko & Olivier Giacomotto 290400 13 14 13 10 STARLIGHT - Cannons 172800 14 21 14 10 VINCENT - Don McLean 140700 15 46 15 4 SIGN OF THE TIMES - Harry Styles 53350 16 12 10 8 RIDE - Jessie Ware 212500 17 16 8 10 HOMEWRECKER - sombr 234800 18 24 18 4 CALIFORNIA - Jessie J 66400 19 25 19 8 TO LOVE SOMEBODY - Holly Humberstone 117400 20 15 15 10 FEELS LIKE HEAVEN - Loreen 175650 21 17 17 7 UNIVERSAL SOLDIER - Depeche Mode 104050 22 18 1 19 RELIQUIA - ROSALIA 1195000 23 19 1 19 FREE LOVE - Cast 1326500 24 20 1 13 APERTURE - Harry Styles 957300 25 31 25 6 CLUB SONG - The Pussycat Dolls 87750 26 30 26 8 THESE NIGHTS - Cannons 89700 27 22 20 8 LOST - almost monday 131250 28 34 28 7 WHY DON'T YOU - Squeeze 91200 29 44 29 5 5:00 AM - Michael Schulte 54050 30 70 30 3 STAY - Leony & Calum Scott 29400 31 58 31 3 SUGAR - Simien & Akon 34300 32 47 32 4 PHOENIX - Marshmello x Portugal.

Hi DaTilt! 🙂 Ooh straight in on top for Conan Gray, not heard that one, sounds quite good, I think I will buy it! Good to see Stephen Sanchez and Lana Del Ray straight in new too, both sounding very good, and a bunch of decent others from Olivia, Jessie, sombr. Jungle, J-Lo, Homewrecker, Alex Warren and the Eurovision songs still good too. great charts! 😎
