75 - "My Way" 54 - "Rock Around The Clock" 52 - "Stranger On The Shore" 49 - "Happy" 48 - "Release Me" and "Sex On Fire" 47 - "Fairytale Of New York" .... (Edited to correct spelling of Release)

31-30-29-28 from last week reversing their order this week.

Alexis Korner, who was a late sunday night staple on Radio 1 for some years, had two top ten hits as part of CCS some years previous.

Was Alice doing an Alan Whicker impression there? And it sounds like she is using the same Iggy script that Jamelia used a couple of weeks ago about the "Out of Office" message

Preparing for a future post on a future thread, I quickly scanned that and read it as Kenickie heading for the top 30...

Disclosure and Underworld are supposedly working on "remixes"

Give me "cheesy & forced" of Band Aid over the likes of Wretch 32 and David Guetta any day

Used to use paper and pen up until about 1996, since then it's been computer only.

Your obsession with this album matches Mirror Man's with Ella Henderson.

One off the record if I've done this right 31 fallers in each of (all w/e dates) 29/7/00 9/9/00 13/1/01 7/8/01 16/7/11 Looking at one of those at random, the w/e 9/9/00 there wasn't a single riser or non-mover in the Top 75 let alone the Top 40, everything was either NE/RE/faller.

Sorry if this has been mentioned before, is the Pixie Lott song a cover of the IsleyJasperIsley "Caravan Of Love"?

Better late than never, the H's are now complete. Whitney Houston is probably the stand out act in this batch, like Calvin Harris earlier in this thread, 16 weeks at number one puts her in a pretty exclusive group. Hot Chocolate were chart regulars in their time but only managed one number one, as did the Human League from an overlapping time span. Englebert Humperdinck managed two, and has one of the longest runners in singles chart history, and of course re-appeared a couple of years ago for a failed attempt at Eurovision. Of the rest - Tab Hunter only had two hits but 7 of his 30 weeks on chart were at number one, Brian Hyland's biggest hit was mangled by Timmy Mallet decades later and Chrissie Hynde is better known for her Pretenders material than her solo work. More 80s groups include the Housemartins, most of whose members went on to even bigger things, Hue & Cry, the Hothouse Flowers & House Of Love. Mr Hudson appeared to be almost everywhere for a few months in late 2009 but has disappeared since, the strangely popular on here Hurts got a number one (at least one of them did) courtesy of Calvin Harris (second mention for him this week) and we have three talent-show alumni of different generations - Danielle Hope, Mary Hopkin & Jennifer Hudson

There doesn't need to be much hype for an act that has such a big dormant fan base. I also think your "buying for their Dads" comment shows a lack of understanding of their fan base.

Ignore - posted on wrong forum!

So am I. It's a horrible mess and a complete ruination of a once-decent song. Oh, that's not what you meant....

Bre as well?

"Waves" 4th week at number 37 overall, matches record holder Engelbert Humperdinck's "Release Me"

Calvin Harris has had to pull out due to illness.

And the 6:00-7:00pm slot was one where both Radios 1 and 2 could play the chart (yes kids, the chart did used to be shared between Radios 1 and 2) in the era when Radio 1 was on 247m and couldn't be received across the whole country.

It's not the OCC rule which has changed, it's the Apple reporting mechanism.

Counting Crows LP re-entry may also be down to their well-received UK tour currently underway

Never listened to Marvin Humes so no vote from me on this one. I do wish Jameela would tighten up her act though, the chart show appears to be following general Radio 1 trend of trying to appeal to the 12-year old audience

The three versions restriction hasn't been in place for a good few years now. See Alex Day's hits for confirmation

If we're complaining at minor things, is there any way you could please, please, please do your posts in a slightly darker colour? I find that lilac colour very hard ro read amongst all the grey-blue on the main Buzzjack layout.

Why is that a problem? I think that's great, that songs climb and then fall rather than enter at their peak position so much,
