  1. Not all their Sunday chart presenters, just those since 1985.
  2. Alisha's Attic should qualify?
  3. Born in Belgium but taken to Australian at the age of 2. That makes him Australian in my records although likelihood is he is probably eligible for citizenship of both. I don't have any previous Belgian-marked acts reaching Number one.
  4. Thanks to everyone moderating and contributing the various Sunday chart show threads. It's been a blast. If I ever have a Friday off and am home late afternoon, I'll contribute to the Friday chart show threads, but those days will be few and far between.
  5. Anyone else getting Waterboys vibes from Walk The Moon?
  6. Go Lionel Rich Tea
  7. "Uptown Funk"'s 29th in the Top 20, now inside the top ten all-time for that category.
  8. Just about my favourite chart memory (well after Rage Against The Machine anyway) was when the Military Wives got to Number One. I'd been (I think) the only one saying the week before that it would be a number one and in the end it was a huge number one.
  9. Unless Blonde have made a major recovery, there's got to be a 3rd track entering, so I still expect to hear "Wings" shortly
  10. My first Sunday chart (a Top 20 back in those days) was back in June 1977 when Rod Stewart was number one with "I Don't Want To Talk About It"
  11. Maybe a 30-second show. And fill with 2h59m30sec of something a little more palatable.
  12. Somebody mentioned Freddie Mercury, how about Queen. Nothing else in their repertoire (or anyone else's really) sounds like Bohemian Rhapsody.
  13. Never streamed (apart from watching the odd one or two on Youtube).
  14. I'd rather they still played the entire chart. If they've only time for 25 records, play the Top 25.
  15. What a terrible rap on the Number One.
  16. "Bad Blood" is by far the weakest Taylor Swift single for years.
  17. Maybe the Elvis Presley re-issues in 2005?
  18. Ooh, this sounds really good on a first listen. Getting early Deacon Blue vibes
  19. Not by OCC though ?
  20. Yes, and 4 weeks at number 10 ties the all time record too, with Bill Haley & His Comets - The Saints Rock'n'Roll Bing Crosby & Grace Kelly - True Love Doris Day & Frankie Laine - Sugarbush Eddy Arnold - Make The World Go Away Fleetwood Mac - The Green Manalishi (With The Two-Prong Crown) Frank Sinatra - High Hopes Hermes House Band - Country Roads Lee Lawrence - Crying In The Chapel Mario Lanza - Because You're Mine Sam Smith - I'm Not The Only One
  21. I don't have the record for consecutive weeks, but all those with >27 total 38 - "Fairytale Of New York" Pogues featuring Kirsty MacColl 37 - "Stranger On The Shore" Acker Bilk etc. 36 - "I Believe" Frankie Laine, "Thinking Out Loud" Ed Sheeran, "Rock Around The Clock" Bill Haley & His Comets 32 - "Happy" Pharrell Williams 30 - "All Of Me" John Legend, "Relax" Frankie Goes To Hollywood" 29 - "Secret Love" Doris Day, "Sex On Fire" Kings Of Leon
  22. First time hearing "Never Let You Go", seems a bit subdued by their standards.
  23. "Thinking Out Loud" still just about the best song in the Top 40.
  24. On the contrary, I think most of it was her fault. It was her who quite blatantly divided people into two camps, the "Heartbeats" and "Haters".
  25. Thanks, corrected.
