Nar tay! BTW... Mark Goodier pronounced it right back then!

Cue the inevitable meme:

Helps that the UK's undergoing a big heatwave - and streaming algorithms are to blame also. See 34 this week because Mika Abdalla danced to it in Off Campus..

Probably cos of.. let's say I dunno. Probably ACR or heavy airplay or talking..

In absolute agreement @Dark73

Same with iloveitiloveitiloveit...

Streaming is VERY VERY likely to be the cause!

Now one of the LONGEST running tunes in the chart (40 overall weeks in the Top 40, 41 in the Top 75)... Still just about hanging on. It's eventually gonna leave..

Two new entries in a row..

..which WAS a UK number one single.

Sam Fender and Olivia Dean could possibly be leaning a few weeks closer to the non-consecutive amount of weeks spent at number one for Frankie Laine in 1953 with "I Believe" if they do it tonight - three more weeks on top (this possibly being their fifteenth) to go...

I'm braced for rather dire chart action today folks...

Now I'm officially ready to prepare you with the 1tro count. Here is this week's count: six, for these chart numbers - 30, 26 (with a Jack Saunders link), 25, 8 (with a Jack Saunders link), 5, 4 (with a Jack Saunders link)

FOURTEEN non-consecutive weeks for RMI now in total, this week starting its fourth run on top of the chart.

Two records left to go...

Down six places to number 7

Shhh, I'll tell you when the show's over!

All the hard work for Langley has paid off. And I'm reminded of my recent trip to America in May...

Honestly agree - despite Spiro having a really thick accent.

..thanks in no small part to it being Coca-Cola's sponsorship anthem for the 2010 tournament.

Now we go onto the Top 20 singles...

To me, I think the industry and the charts are being held on life support via oldies getting resurgences..

See how this is becoming more like a normal non chart show Radio 1 daytime show with much of the segues?

Absolutely in my opinion, these rules need further tweaking.

Now do you see why 2026 is better remembered as the year pop charts are approaching death? But now we interrupt the Top 40 for a news bulletin...
