Kamaliya's husband has nothing on the OCC in manipulating the charts :lol:

Was so exited to see the names Clean Bandit and Marina together but I'm a little disappointed after first listen. Hopefully it'll grow on me but the chorus seems underwhelming.

Amazing for Clean Bandit. So well deserved. One of their best songs. Great slow rise to the top too. If I had to pick though I would have loved a 6-5-4-3-2-1 chart run

Sia WAS around nearly 20 years ago......well 17 years ago she was Top 10 with 'Taken for Granted'

Random comment but my dog hates the intro to 'The Cure'. Anyone else's? He reacts the same to Eurovision 2016 Bulgaria entry 'If Love Was a Crime'

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Love 'Symphony'. Zara seems to have dislodged whatever it was that made her sound so nasal on previous efforts so it's good news all round.

Disappointing that The Shins are only at 13

The Chart Show in the 80s and 90s used to use stock footage when there was no video often with a photo of the act. I recall one where there was burning boat on a river with a photo of the act on the boat. I may have just dreamt that as it sounds too random but I'm pretty sure i saw it. But they definitely just used random footage when there were no videos which was common especially for the specialist charts.

To be honest I'd say that S Club 7 and Steps were on a level pegging in terms of popularity. Both regularly churned out top 5 singles and albums as well as number ones.

Blondie!! :cheer:

So Coldplay and Chainsmokers are the only ones who can prevent an entire Sheeran top ten? Thank god for Coldplay!

Thank the lord for Coldplay and (I never thought I'd say this)...the Chainsmokers

Is the Lorde song a grower? I wasn't too fussed on first listen. Ed needs to go away. He's had a handful of genuinely good songs but this new stuff is just abysmal. I'm sure people will look back on it and cringe. Those faux-Irish songs are the worst things I've heard for a long time. He needs to take another year out sooner rather than later.

That 'Galway Girl' is the cheesiest thing going. Such awful lyrics. Sounds like 'In Blue' era The Corrs which is so not a good thing. No doubt it will chart highly. And as for 'Perfect' being better than 'Thinking Out Loud' according to Ed...nothing could be further from the truth. It's formulaic and contrived. Again should be a big hit.

It's such a good song because Brandon Flowrs wrote it. Shame it's not doing well

Hope 'Mr Brightside' can cling on 😄

Blasphemy!!!

I can see that Train song becoming a big hit if it gets more radio play etc

I remember that Scissor Sisters actually overtook Keane on New Years Eve! I got 12/16

'Don't be so hard on yourself' is certainly Jess' best song yet since 'Rather Be' so it's a shame that it doesn't look like it'll be number one.

Marvin Gaye is a good pop song. It is a shame they couldn't have thought of a better way of phrasing things in the chorus but I can live with that.

I think it's highly unlikely that One Direction will last to 2019. They're already beyond the average boyband lifespan and I wouldn't be surprised if this next album were their last. Also I think it would be good to include those who spread over decades like Beyoncé and Robbie and look at most consecutive years for acts

I don't really understand the list? Why are only some singles and some albums included? A lot of them seem to be debuts but some aren't (like Olly Murs single and album listed and One Direction album)?? Sorry I'm just confused

Black Magic is a really average song. They've certainly had better songs. And I'm no fashion expert but what they could all do with a new stylist.
