I was expecting "Heroes" to be related to the David Bowie track for some reason. Anyway, it sounds sort of OK on first listen. "Up" isn't bad either.

Can any one say "Filler"?

16 - "Let It Go" - Idina Menzel 13 - "Numb/Encore" - Jay-Z & Linkin Park 12 - "I Know" - Perry Como 11 - "I'm Sorry" - Brenda Lee "Mama" - David Whitfield "I Won't Give Up" - Jason Mraz "He'll Have To Go" - Jim Reeves ...

I found rather the opposite to be honest, created a Google Play wallet and had "Frozen" downloaded in less than five minutes. Wherever you see something that looks like three dots on top of one another, that's a context-related menu and you should be able to find "download" pretty easily.

So it look like the early winners of the Gift Card race are those we would have expected - "All About That Bass", "Thinking Out Loud", "Sing" and "Real Love". "Don't" also seems to have had a boost, as does "Wrapped Up" and "Bang Bang" (the Jessie J one unfortunately, not the BA Robertson one!)

How many votes did Ben get? How many of them would have been multiple votes by the same people?

So I did have the time to put together another batch before Christmas. The stand out artists in this group include Kings Of Leon, whose two massive long runners account for a large proportion of their weeks on chart, Alicia Keys, Kesha (or Ke$ha if you must), and the Killers. Less tolerably, Jonathan King and all his aliases is also included, and Wiz Khalifa has racked up more success (mainly as a featured artist) than I thought he had. Chaka Khan had a number one that is perhaps more memorable for Melle Mel's rap than her own contribution, Carole King was way more successful as a songwriter than a singer (although she does have one of the most critically acclaimed albums of the 70s. Kiesza may well be on the way to having the same career path after the follow-ups to "Hideaway" haven't really taken off. Ben E King reached number one 20 years too late after "Stand By Me" was featured in a Levi's advert, Nicole Kidman is more of an actress than a singer (way, way more) and the only other number one act in this group is Johnny Kidd & The Pirates As you can probably see, I drew a blank regarding the members of Kicking Back with Taxman, I'll keep looking though. Finally, thanks to all the contributors of these threads over 2014. I suspect there was some scepticism when I started that this might be a project too far, but with all the help from members of this forum, we are just about halfway through and looking strong to get the whole job completed by the end of 2015. I know there will always be minor disagreements about what should be included and what shouldn't, and how some things should be presented, but we're all generally moving in the same direction and working together for a resource that can be used by the members long term.

One of Afro Celt Sound System was apparently from Guinea.

And all her chart "facts" are wrong, so.....

Rather that than 3 almost indistinguishable Sam Smith tracks.

Not normally a fan of either Murs or Lovato, but quite liking "Up".

I think part of why we mis-hear Taylor's lyric is that (in the real words) the emphasis is on the "of", which is a pretty un-natural place for it to bw.

The sooner Jameela goes the better.

A "recent tradition" is almost an oxymoron.

Not quite Most weeks top 40 before making Top 20 16 - Mike Sammes Singers - Somewhere My Love 13 - Hozier - Take Me To Church 9 - Bobby Vee - A Forever Kind Of Love 9 - Kasanetz-Katz Singing Orchestral Chorus - Quick Joey Small (Run Joey Run) 8 - Bob Marley & The Wailers - No Woman No Cry 8 - Clash - Rock The Casbah 8 - Lady Antebellum - Need You Now 8 - Martha & The Vandellas - Dancing In The Street 8 - Sarah Vaughan & Billy Eckstine - Passing Strangers 8 - Skids - Working For The Yankee Dollar 7 - Birdy - Skinny Love 7 - Dana - Fairy Tale 7 - Foster The People - Pumped Up Kicks 7 - Four Tops - I Can't Help Myself 7 - Frankie McBride - Five Little Fingers 7 - Imagine Dragons - Radioactive 7 - Ken Dodd - When Love Comes Round Again 7 - Mamas & Papas - California Dreamin' 7 - Meat Loaf - Dead Ringer For Love 7 - MGMT - Kids 7 - Neil Sedaka - Oh Carol/Breaking Up Is Hard To Do 7 - Sheila B Devotion - Spacer 7 - Topol - If I Were A Rich Man 7 - Walker Brothers - Love Her

Isn't that the correct way of saying it? I've always referred to the football team using the Weld-Stone pronunciation and no-one's ever picked me up on it

Fifth time "Chandelier" has bounced back up after falling the previous week.

I can't even read his posts now, the pale lilac colour is unreadable to me and I don't find it worthwhile changing my monitor settings just to accommodate him, so I just ignore all his posts.

Thanks to all the moderators and contributors for making these threads so enjoyable every Sunday. I did defect to Haven for about two weeks, but quickly realised the error of my ways and returned "home" Looking forward to more of the same through 2015

I don't know "by merit" and "charity singles" are necessarily exclusive. I think a lot of the sales of "Wherever You Are" where because people liked the song rather than the fact it was raising money for two charities.

Just read that second sentence back before you post it. It contradicts itself.

Perhaps Union J ought to do one next year, they're used to songs with limited chart lifes.

Thanks, duly amended. His real name was, of course, Gordon.

The first part of the K's arrives with Part 44. I was intending to reach part 46 (i.e Halfway) by the end of 2014 so even taking into account the time I missed recovering from my shoulder operation, I'm not too far behind. This will probably be the last part of 2014, I am going to spend the Christmas period bringing all the previous parts up to date, both with further information that has come to light since the original postings, and to include all the 2014 hits. So to Part 44. R Kelly's career has been blighted with several court cases and accusations, most of which have not led to convictions, but a lot of the mud has stuck. Ronan Keating has had a hugely successful career, both with Boyzone and as a solo artist. Kelis has had more Top 10s (9) than I would have given her credit for, but has not had a lead artist hit for over 4 years now. We also have a bunch of 2000s British bands in this group - Kasabian, Kaiser Chiefs & Keane to the fore. The 80s are represented by Kajagoogoo and Katrina & The Waves (who of course made a Eurovision-related comeback in the 90s), The 60s by Eden Kane and the 70s by KC & The Sunshine Band. Others who reached number one - KWS, Peter Kay, Kitty Kallen, the Kalin Twins & Jerry Keller, plus the inimitable KLF, who I think I have listed all their hitmaking aliases, but wouldn't be surprised if one or two have slipped through the net. Plea for help needed for other K listings - does anyone know the relevant line ups for Kicking Back with Taxman, and Kokomo (the "A Little Bit Further Away" Kokomo)
