35 top 10 weeks for Man I Need. Is it this week's real number 1 ?

Number 21

Ask your parents f you don't know the Beautiful South Jack ? That makes me feel very old !

Natasha was number 20 on Wednesday so knocked down by 3 Dolly Parton songs ?

3 fresh songs in a row - we cannot have this so here is Where Is My Husband !!

Not the first time Jack has spoken all over the start of the lyrics to Jamaican ( Bam Bam )

Dolly Parton confirmed in the chart but how many and where ?

With the speed of the charts these days, that is a shakeup !!

The schedule has been amended as follows: Tomorrow - no shows 4th September from 8pm - 31st March 2000 and 7th April 2000 episodes 11th September - no shows 18th September - Provisional schedule has just been released and we are back to double bill from 7pm

25 tonight.

Last Wednesday - 24,840 Tonight - 23,964 876 difference

On Monday Rein Me In was down 1554 units compared to Monday last week. Tonight Rein Me In was only down 876 compared to Wednesday last week. It couldn't.........could it ??!!

Looks like Joseph is delayed. In the meantime here are the top 5s Singles 1 - Rein Me In - Sam Fender / Olivia Dean ( 23,964 ) 2 - Movin To The Sun - Hugel / Imael Angel / Ultra Naté ( 16,087 ) 3 - Choosin Texas - Ella Langley ( 15,337 ) 4 - Boston - Stella Lefty ( 14,558 ) 5 - Great Expectation - Sienna Spiro ( 13,094 ) Albums 1 - Jenius - Paul Heaton ( 21,551 ) 2 - Thrasher - Brandon Flowers ( 10,089 ) 3 - It Goes On - Westside Cowboy ( 7,442 ) 4 - DMA's - DMA's ( 7,069 ) 5 - The Essential - Michael Jackson ( 6,096 ) New / reissues 14 - What Are The Odds - Jorja Smith 17 - Decoding Birdsong - Anthony Szmierek 18 - Hazel Eyes - Sam Smith

A change to the schedule this Friday night. BBC4 were due to show 2000 then 1978 and 1988 from 8.45pm, however only the 1978 show will be broadcast at 8.45pm - it will be followed by Dolly Parton at Glastonbury. Presumably the 31st March 2000 show will air Friday week instead, alongside the 7th April 2000 show.

Sheena Easton changed the title of 9 To 5 when released in the US to "Morning train ( Nine To Five )" so as not to be confused with Dolly's 9 To 5 even though it's a different song.

Man I Need could be the "real" number 1 again on Friday !

Looking ahead, the new look 3 hour First Look will start on the 13th September at 4pm. https://www.bbc.co.uk/schedules/p00fzl86/2026/09/13

Rein Me In on course for 29 consecutive weeks in the top 5 which I believe will be an all time record

Taylor Swift straight in at 1 and Olivia Rodrigo with 3 of top 5

Man I Need's projected 2026 chart run if it wasn't on ACR: 1-1-1-1-2-1-1-1-1-1-3-3-3-2-2-3-3-2-2-2-2-2-3-3-5-1-2-2-2-2-3-2-2-2

Radio 1 playing Marianne twice within 20 minutes.

Marianne up 45 places !

I noticed that Stella Lefty was a number 1 contender and Ella Langley wasn't.

With Dai Dai going to ACR, Choosin Texas should move up to number 2 this week and then number 1 next week.

Have we all been streaming Rein Me In to help it avoid ACR on Friday ?!
