45 points All Saints - War Of Nerves Blur - Stereotypes Faithless - Mass Destruction Michael Jackson - Ben Lulu and The Luvvers - Shout Queen - One Vision Pet Shop Boys - Can You Forgive Her? Donna Summer - I Don't Wanna Get Hurt -OGd4gplxQM With lyrics inspired by Martin Luther King Jr, this was the opening track on Queen's 1986 album, 'A Kind Of Magic'. They now have just one of their four number 7s left. It's an all star line-up on 45 points, I'm sorry I couldn't give the youtube pick to either Faithless or the Pet Shop Boys. Michael Jackson follows Billie Eilish today in losing the third of his three songs.

44 points Kelly Clarkson - Underneath The Tree Fun Boy Three - Our Lips Are Sealed Elton John - Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting Dannii Minogue - Put The Needle On It Mini Viva - Left My Heart In Tokyo Roxette - Almost Unreal Republica - Drop Dead Gorgeous Whigfield - Think Of You QhVhK-VVeXo Our Lips Are Sealed was co-written by Terry Hall and Jane Wiedlin and was first recorded by the latter's group, The Go-Go's. Their version only got to number 47 but Fun Boy Three's did much better, giving the short lived group their fourth and final top 10 hit. Roxette's second song didn't survive much longer than the first one. Kelly Clarkson's Christmas record reached its peak just a few weeks ago, she has one song to come as does Elton John.

Buzzjack's Ultimate UK Number 7 Single - 1st Round
39 points Eternal - I Am Blessed Honeyz - Never Let You Down Hannah Laing with RoRo - Good Love Lasgo - Alone Queen - You're My Best Friend HaZpZQG2z10 Written by John Deacon about his wife, this is taken from Queen's classic album 'A Night At The Opera' and is also track 6 on their Greatest Hits. I think John and his wife are still together. Alone was Lasgo's follow-up to their better known single 'Something'. We have two girl groups here, I Am Blessed was the sixth out of twelve top 10 hits for Eternal while Never Let You Down is one of two number 7s for Honeyz, both with the word 'down' in the title. The second is still to come.

My record of the week 60 years ago
21st - 27th January 1965 31. Tired Of Waiting For You - The Kinks This will be another no.1 single for the Kinks. The rhythmic beat going through the song is quite similar to their first two singles but this is slower in tempo. It's alright but not as good as those two. 34. Promised Land - Chuck Berry Another song he wrote while he was in prison. It has his familiar sound with the lyrics describing a journey across America from east to west. It's his last hit until My Ding-A-Ling. 37. The Special Years - Val Doonican A very slow pace to this one about childhood, the harmonica was the best feature. 39. Dance Dance Dance - The Beach Boys This is very much their signature sound at the time but not one of their memorable songs and it will be another one to miss the top 20. Record of the week : 27. The Leader Of The Pack - The Shangri-Las And of course it has to be this one, a prime example of the 60s teenage tragedy genre. The interaction of the lead and backing vocals, the big production and the "vroom vroom" all make this song stand out. It will peak at number 11, not being helped by the BBC radio ban, and then later get as high as number 3 in 1972 and number 7 in 1976. 2P7ksqtDCy4

2025 Tennis Thread
Yes, a very tense match which could have gone either way. Madison will have to play as well as that again to win the final. I hope she does, she's 29 now and has never won a grand slam title.
