Thanks Jade and 2 36s is another nesrly there double. So close! Today i got the year wrong in round 2 the rest were very much my era! A bit late as in London this weekend. Back tomorrow! 3 in 10: See You, Love In Itself, Personal Jesus

I really dont mind that version of Wishing On A Star - granted its not worthy to be compared to the fabulous Rose Royce original, but they dont ruin it for the most part with quite a few good singers involved. Glad You Came is a good pop track and I generally enjoyed The Wanted tracks. Sobering to think both records so far feature a member who died tragically young. That seems so wrong.

14th January 1996 It's Cher bagging her 5th number one in 24 years, with or without Sonny, as the under-rated One By One edges out earth Song. Cher does a beautiful breathy restrained vocal showing she doesnt HAVE to bellow it out to get a hit. Babylon Zoo take Spaceman up to 5, and Dreadzone Little Britain to 7. TLC Creep up to 10 and a new peak 2nd time around. Highest new entry is a forgotten track from Human League, Stay With Me Tonight, fresh off their 1994 comeback smash Tell Me When. Very 80's synthy riffs and pretty good in at 14. There's a massive climb as The Lighthouse Family are very much Lifted to 15, as Pato Banton enlists the man himself, Sting, for a good cover of Spirits In The Material World, just as 30 years later Sting is lending a backing hand to Shaggy actual singing on Ain't No Sunshine, reggae acts still getting his support. New at 28, while at 32 Tori Amos has Caught A Lite Sneeze, one I don't remember. Time of the year I suppose, post-Christmas bugs going round. It's very Tori-via-Kate. At 36, Taylor Dayne is back with a remix of her 1997 classic Tell It To My Heart, total banger, Bonnie Tyler pops back with her Air Supply/Jim Steinman cover, and Leftfield attempt to Release The Pressure at 54, the electronic duo sounding dark and uptempo downbeat at the same time, I like it, sounding good 30 years on. Baby D had that smash, and return with So Pure at 58, drum'n'base and a nice tune, but not quite up to Let Me Be Your Fantasy standard. Nice though. Etienne Daho debut at 66 with a 5-track EP featuring a collab between Saint Etienne and French musician Etienne Daho. Sarah Cracknell sings on Accident and all 3 members of Saint Etienne have songwriting credits on the EP and I cant recall which track I liked best. LL Cool J is back just before his comeback next year, this time with BoyzIIMen on tow. Ah well, not enough early LL too much recent Boyz on Hey Lover, new at 70. Gene debut at 73 on For The Dead, sounding not entirely unlike Morrissey, and Judy Cheeks revamps Reach at 74. 1 ( 2 ) ONE BY ONE Cher 2 ( 1 ) EARTH SONG Michael Jackson 3 ( 3 ) WHOLE LOTTA LOVE Goldbug 4 ( 5 ) JESUS TO A CHILD George Michael 5 ( 11 ) SPACEMAN Babylon Zoo 6 ( 6 ) WONDERWALL Oasis 7 ( 27 ) LITTLE BRITAIN Dreadzone 8 ( 4 ) FREE AS A BIRD The Beatles 9 ( 8 ) OH FATHER Madonna 10 ( 17 ) CREEP TLC 11 ( 10 ) NOT SO MANIC NOW Dubstar 12 ( 15 ) MISSING (TODD TERRY REMIX) Everything But The Girl 13 ( 7 ) MAKE ME SMILE (COME UP AND SEE ME) Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel 14 ( NEW ) STAY WITH ME TONIGHT Human League 15 ( 63 ) LIFTED The Lighthouse Family 16 ( 40 ) LET'S PUSH IT Nightcrawlers 17 ( 16 ) WONDERWALL The Mike Flowers Pops Orchestra 18 ( 33 ) DON'T LOOK BACK IN ANGER Oasis 19 ( 9 ) UP ON THE ROOF/ I BELIEVE Robson Jerome 20 ( 29 ) LIVE FOREVER Oasis 21 ( 13 ) THE UNIVERSAL Blur 22 ( 14 ) I DON'T WANNA BE A STAR Corona 23 ( 36 ) IMITATION OF LIFE Billie Ray Martin 24 ( 24 ) ROLLERBLADE Nick Heyward 25 ( 12 ) GANGSTA'S PARADISE/ THROW YOUR HANDS UP LV 26 ( 22 ) JUST THE ONE The Levellers 27 ( 20 ) DISCO 2000 Pulp 28 ( NEW ) SPIRITS IN THE MATERIAL WORLD Pato Banton & Sting 29 ( 25 ) GOLD Prince 30 ( 58 ) BEAUTIFUL LIFE Ace Of Base 31 ( 19 ) I WISH Skee-Lo 32 ( NEW ) CAUGHT A LITE SNEEZE Tori Amos 33 ( 18 ) A WINTER'S TALE Queen 34 ( 38 ) WHY YOU TREAT ME SO BAD Shaggy 35 ( 26 ) ANYWHERE IS Enya 36 ( NEW ) TELL IT TO MY HEART '96 Taylor Dayne 37 ( 48 ) SANDSTORM Cast 38 ( 23 ) YOU MAKE ME FEEL (LIKE A NATURAL WOMAN) Mary J.

41 3 13 PEOPLE NEED PEOPLE - Good Neighbours 544800 British Indie duo, sound American, had a hit with Home but singles since have been just as good despite not being hits. Second track on the list.

42 7 22 FEEL IT - d4vd 543650 Some gossip or other says persona non grata already. For me, it's a track from dark graphically violent animated superhero series Invincible and it worked really well in a placement, and I like his voice.

43 4 17 WITHOUT YA - Bakermat featuring Gladys Knight 535300 I'm not 100% sure it's Gladys on a sample, but it sounds like her and Who's Sampled says it is. Good dance track anyway and great giving Glad a credit 48 years after her first year-ender top 100.

44 3 25 RAGDOLL - The Lottery Winners featuring Chad Kroeger 526000 The Lottery Winners are consistently fab and would have been big in previous decades that bought classy rock-pop. Chad Kroeger's best involvement since Hero. Almost 6 months on my chart. The song is strong.

45 7 28 ALL YOUR FAULT - Gwen Stefani 507400 Gwen goes country ballad-ish and it's wonderful, great lyrics, great song. Her 2nd on the list 28 years on from Don't Speak.

46 5 19 TALK TO ME - Damiano David featuring Tyla and Nile Rodgers 503100 Damiano's second on the list, and Nile Rodgers on his 47th year of funky bass year-enders since Dance Dance Dance did it first

47 13 29 HELLO - Sigala x Leigh-Anne x Jonita Gandhi 483300 Deliciously catchy riffs with guesting Little Mixer and Jonita from the Easy Love-r. Very long chart run for me!

48 6 22 SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN - Avalan Rokston 464650 Sounds like The Weeknd, but still fab

49 4 13 BALENCIAGA COVERED EYES - Agnes 446200 15 years on, and Agnes still dropping interesting dance bangers...

50 5 16 REVOLUTION - Mans Zelmerlow 437550 Still sulking Sweden didnt pick this as their Eurovision entry. Mad!

No worries about chart placings, and thanks for volunteering, its all part of the fun of comparing opinions! 🤩Sorry to hear you lost your dad so young, it's tough at any age, but especially at important early times in your life. Queensland nostalgia I'm up for - I did Cairns and Green Island in the 90's!😍

Love In Itself one of my fave Depeche tracks to date, disappointingly not quite as big as it should have been 8/10 Autodrive I really dont remember oops! Not having a lyric probably the reason. The Rocksteady Crew was fun and fresh at the time but not one that crops up much these days 8/10. Say Say Say, great video and part-Beatle part-Jacko dance was an odd combo but it works 9/10. Talking of Macca, he's in the video for Tracey Ullman's Kirsty cover, best of this batch for me great song 10/10. Lionel's best solo record by some distance, All Night Long is delicious grooves 9/10. Pop Goes My Love, IOU Part 2, but even more annoying 5/10. Kissing With Confidence is essentially a Carly Simon duet with AI, quirky and fun and annoying Carly got no credit on the record 8/10. Meat Loaf solo stuff had none of the epic quality of a Steinman, Midnight probably being his best effort but a modest 6/10 for me. London Town I liked, the song isnt as strong but the harmonies and vibe are still good 7/10. Tears On The Telephone, always a pleasure to hear Errol Brown though not up there with their classics 7/10. Superstar essentially a response-record cash-in, but it's an OK example of that genre 6/10. Superman a turn-off-your-brain party dance novelty which got very annoying. Plus side it's an addition to the list of hit DC superhero name song titles - see Supergirl, Star Boy, Sunshine Superman, Wildfire, Speedy (Gonzales), Flash, Gypsy, Jimmy Olsen, The Joker....etc. 2/10. David Grant's I barely recall at all, but I expect it was mildly pleasant 5/10. In Your Eyes I do recall, slick laid-back jazz soul co-written by Michael Masser and Dan Hill as opposed to the wonderful Rod Temperton. Dan Hill had the dull hit Sometimes When We Touch and Masser had the dull ballads Touch Me In The Morning, The Greatest Love Of All, Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You, Tonight I Celebrate Your Love among many many more hits: not a single gem amongst them. 5/10.

Steal My Sunshine a gem of an upbeat pop single, and sampling More More More never hurts!

65 (75) 93 Four Jacks and A Jill - Master Jack (75-65) [2 wks]❤️ 11-year-old me would be even more thrilled than I am now to see this in a chart....🤩

7th June 2026 It's a first number one for Demi Lovato after 12 years of occasional charting, not to mention getting blown to pieces in Fire Saga, the Will Ferrell Eurovision romp. Love Controller is a total bop and needs to have a video and single release. That leaves actual Eurovision song Ya Ya Ya (not Ya Ya Ding Dong but Jonas totally having a laugh) back up to 2. Hot Chocolate hit a new peak with Emma 52 years late, so very dark, while 58 years late Four Jacks And A Jill go top 5, and so long overdue being as I've loved it for 56 years. The Jackson 5 return Never Can Say Goodbye to the top 10 55 years on, I loved The Jackson 5 back in the day, and Duran Duran and Nile Rodgers get another top 10 42 years on from their first together - though Nile wasn't getting credits in those days. Duran Duran are on well over 25 top 10's spread out across their non-stop career, Free To Love as good as any of the ones that fell short of the top 3, and Nile had 4 with Chic, at least, plus loads as producer/writer with Sister Sledge, Duran, Bowie, Daft Punk and oodles of others so his total will be similar. Thankfully a quiet week for new entries allows my chart to consist mostly of climbers who have under-performed due to a lot of competition around, with Jungle being the highest climber at 31, for 2 in the top 40, Appleton getting the highest new entry, Ready To Begin making it 2 good singles in a row nearly 30 years on from All Saints, while J-Lo returns On The Floor to the charts 2 decades on (nearly), or as I knew it in the 90's, Lambada. Electric Callboy have another collab as my niece and nephew are off to Download this weekend, where they will be appearing - hope they do this fun new entry at 93, Let The Good Times Roll not being a 50's revamp, it's The Offspring in Pretty Fly mode. Electric Callboy have 2 chart entries now, The Offspring have 8 in 27 years, including a number one. The Kolors return with a second chart entry Rolling Stones at 96 with a reggae vibe, as the real thing are up to 83. That leaves Muse replacing themselves in my chart with new one Nightshift Superstar complete with kiddie chorus. 1 2 1 7 LOVE CONTROLLER - Demi Lovato 438300 2 3 1 4 YA YA YA - JONAS LOVV 455000 3 1 1 4 CRYING OVER YOU - Reverend and The Makers 430000 4 6 4 6 EMMA - Hot Chocolate 302000 5 9 5 5 MASTER JACK - Four Jacks And A Jill 180000 6 8 6 10 SUGAR - Simien & Akon 317150 7 4 4 8 CHUCK THE MONEY - Stephen Sanchez 260100 8 19 8 6 NEVER CAN SAY GOODBYE - The Jackson 5 113600 9 10 9 6 RUMOURS - Hot Chocolate 155250 10 22 10 7 FREE TO LOVE - Duran Duran featuring Nile Rodgers 113950 11 7 1 10 CLICK CLACK SYMPHONY - RAYE featuring Hans Zimmer 812100 12 5 3 5 LIFE'S TOO SHORT - The Lightning Seeds 305000 13 13 13 10 CARRY ON - Jungle 188750 14 14 14 7 FOCU 'RANNI - ROSALIA 136800 15 12 1 6 BROTHER LOUIE - Hot Chocolate featuring Alexis Korner 527000 16 16 16 9 BEAUTY PAGEANT - Holly Humberstone 150600 17 20 17 6 YOU COULD'VE BEEN A LADY - Hot Chocolate 93700 18 29 18 4 FOREVER - Reverend and The Makers 56650 19 23 19 8 I FEEL SO FREE - Madonna 118700 20 11 5 6 YOU'LL ALWAYS BE A FRIEND - Hot Chocolate 240000 21 15 1 5 LOVE IS LIFE - Hot Chocolate 318750 22 21 2 7 ONE BAD APPLE - The Osmonds 310650 23 26 23 6 CAN'T SIT STILL - Lainey Wilson 81500 24 25 24 7 MR KNOW IT ALL - Teddy Swims 110300 25 31 25 8 FIRST LIGHT - Lana Del Ray 119450 26 27 26 5 STRUCK - Charlotte MacInnes 67800 27 24 5 17 DRIVE SAFE - Myles Smith & Niall Horan 519000 28 34 28 7 IN MY ROOM - Linda Ronstadt 96850 29 33 29 4 GO - The Chemical Brothers featuring Q-Tip 48200 30 17 3 11 PHOENIX - Marshmello x Portugal.

Hi SSP! Thanks for the picks! That list spans the centuries and decades! 😄 cheers! 😎

Hi AH! 🙂 Hope the work comeback wasnt too much of a culture shock! Great charts as always and as usual, still enjoying the oldies charts, so many classics! As is my wont those in red topped my charts, those in green hit 2... or 30% of the Retro chart. I call that quality! 🤩 fabulous stuff! ❤️

Hi AH! 🙂 Yes all good, ta, busy as always, but poor you back to work and leg still in bandages, but at least being able to walk is a plus! Mobility can never be over-appreciated! 👍Yay, hearts for Master Jack, Marsha, Dara and others! ❤️ I know what you mean about charting some and forgetting to do it - There's quite a few bubbling under I like but havent got the space for, like Material Lover, new Ariana, Taylor, Harry, and many more. Madonna's tracks are turning out to be slow burners for me so far which is usually a good sign for the album, hoping its the best since the first Confessions. Rosalia hanging at 44 a few weeks, but sadly not this week, it is a bit of low-key masterpiece though. Needs a film spot. Film-makers take note, it really needs to be in a feature movie promo at the very least! The new Jungle has a lot of the appeal of Loaded Honey, so far the new stuff is veering more to melody than beats, either of which is fine by me! thanks as always for the in-depth picks! cheers! 😎

Hey Seltin! 🙂 Great charts and faves climbing or holding from Ariana but poor Madonna/Sabrina at 2 again! Olivia, and Dara and Delta for a Eurovision boost, On The Floor and Sad Girls top 30, The Script climbing and Becky Hill new in the 50 all highlights cheers! 😎
