I'm guessing the sales of this will mostly all be downloads and small amount of streams (its been the case with previous charity songs IIRC). I'm doubtful if it will go to number one, especially as its only had a few days sales. Wherever it peaks it will probably dive bomb out of the chart. I predict no.2, 5 weeks on the chart

The new top 40 run downs seem to take up alot more time than I would have thought, and the 20th anniversary edition was rubbish- major disappointment

According to wikipedia Orbs Blue Room was 39 minutes long and was the longest single to make the charts

Surely in an era of Hip hop R&B and DJ 's -dance that dominate the charts. These genres rely heavily on samples, which in most cases end up with the writers of the sample being given a writers credit. Also for instance if Charlie Puth writes a song, and wants a rap included in it, he brings in say Jay-z who writes a rap to be included in it, he gets a writers credit, or if he wants it to have a club dance feel to it he brings in Calvin Harris who then has a writing credit for the new dance arrangement. I think its inevitable that they are going to be more than one or two songwriters involved in a hit in the modern era. I think singer songwriters like Adele, Charlie Puth and Ed Sheeran are capable of writing a song by themselves or with one other person. I know Ed Sheeran did on his debut album but for subsequent albums when he has wanted to have a different feel other songwriters have been used, i.e second album Pharell Williams to give him an R&B feel, this current album Steve Mac for a more dance pop feel

wow, was expecting Still Into You to be no.1

Would have thought that Waterfalls would have done better since its release after the Stooshie version a few years back

As much as I love the Sugababes version of Freak Like Me, the Garage version by Tru Faith & Dub Conspiracy is also a decent version too

Ultra Nate and Spice Girls- one of their best songs, stopped from reaching no.1. also like Rest Assured (bitter Sweet Symphony dance style)

2nd cd much better than 1st. voted texas and boyzone-by far the best song they ever did!

Jonelle Monae isnt as bad a Tony Christie's amirillo, Peter Kaye got a credit for just appearing in the video!

another one of my fave now albums, so many good tracks! voted Ocean Colour Scene & No Doubt. Also love Todd Terry, Eternal, Seahorses, Fun Lovin Criminals

george michael and mansun

I watched Depedge Mode On The BBC. It was good but they missed out most of their stuff after 1987 including Enjoy The Silence..

oops Was gonna suggest The Orb , but then realised its just number 1 s :lol:

Very good. A suggestion for other editions, which you may wish to include is under neath the artist list the artists for which they have written hits for (if applicable). so for instance for Marty Wilde you could put The Casuals, Lulu, Kim Wilde, Peter Shelley

voted Ocean Colour Scene and Faithless. Also like Pulp, Shed Seven Livin Joy, Bluetones, Beautiful South

i used to think the same but it actually went top 10, but dive bombed out the chart after {8}-18-28-37-44-61-69-71-58->9

ditto

Voted Umboza and Bon Jovi. though loads of other tracks I like aswell

Voted for Mike & The Mechanics and Gat Decor. Also like Queen Cast Paul Weller Levellers Ken Doh

CD 1 is definatley the best. voted for Pulp and Happy Clappers. Also like Paul weller, Smokin Mojo Filters, Coolio, Cast, McAlmont & Butler

my fave songs are High Times, Feels Just Like It Should, Alright and Canned Heat Top 3 on that list are not their best songs imo

Excellent work I love how you have put in Songwriters and b sides. Very similar to Joel Whitburn's American Top Pop Singles. If you did one for more recent years I would most certainly buy one from you.!

Oh didnt know Theres a whole lot of lovin was originally in tv ad. The song was written/ produced by members of Butterscotch (had a hit in 1970 with You Dont Know), they are probably better known however for writing Cant Smile Without You Barry Manilow

Bobby Helm was an old recording of his from 1957 that had failed to chart in UK, and Ronettes recording was originally released by them in 1963.
