There was a worldwide humanitarian relief effort, and two charity records made the UK Charts. One was created with mainly American artists (more of that later) and there was this one, born and bred in the UK but involving a smattering of international artists. A cover of a 1993 REM track, it went straight to No. 1, but after two weeks at the top it declined quickly and went {1}-1-9-26-42-77 and out.

Thanks for all the replies folks. I do now vaguely recall something about the Blur complaint. I'll change my data for the week in question.

GUCCI MANE American male rapper (born Radric Davis, 12/2/80) 20 Feb 10 Spotlight (Gucci Mane featuring Usher) 46 2 wks 17 Nov 16 Black Beatles $ (Rae Sremmurd featuring Gucci Mane) 2 16 wks 29 Dec 16 Party (Chris Brown featuring Gucci Mane & Usher) 68 5 wks 15 Jun 17 Down (Fifth Harmony featuring Gucci Mane) 47 10 wks 27 Jul 17 Fetish (Selena Gomez featuring Gucci Mane) 33 8 wks 28 Sep 17 Curve (Gucci Mane featuring The Weeknd) 78 1 wk 12 Oct 17 Do Re Mi (Blackbear featuring Gucci Mane) 94 1 wk 27 Sep 18 Wake Up In The Sky (Gucci Mane, Bruno Mars & Kodak Black) 65 4 wks 26 Mar 20 Like That (Doja Cat featuring Gucci Mane) 62 16 wks Total Hits : 9 Total Weeks : 63 1CQZDiko2xg b8m9zhNAgKs XEJLuJyxLDE A brief splash of chart success in 2010, but we then had to wait six and a half years to see his name in the top 40 qgain. "Black Beatles" well and truly dominates the discography, one of six featured credits as against only three lead credits. "Like That" had a really long run for a song that peaked so low (73-{62}-63-78-79-81-87-83-86-x(8)-85-79-85-80-77-82-91) Longest run in the Top 100 for singles that never made the Top 60 20 weeks - Noah Cyrus "July" peaked at 66 17 weeks - Koffee "Toast" peaked at 70 16 weeks - Omariaon featuring Chris Brown and Jhené Aiko "Post To Be" peaked at 74 16 weeks - Rae Sremmurd "Guatemala" peaked at 68 16 weeks - Doja Cat featuring Gucci Mane "Like That" peaked at 62 15 weeks - Offset & Metro Boomin "Ric Flair Drip" peaked at 67 15 weeks - Not3s "Aladdin" peaked at 71 14 weeks - Bryson Tiller "Don't" peaked at 71

First of all, if the mods move this to the Retro section, that's OK, I was pondering doing that but I thought it relates directly to a chart so probably belonged here. The chart I had in my database (almost certainly originally from the late lamented Chartstats) for the w/e 10th July 1999 is the one also repeated at Chartscans (http://scans.chartarchive.org/UK/1999/UK%2...01999.07.10.pdf), and starts 1,1,ATB,9PM (Till I Come) 2,NE,Will Smith featuring Dru Hill,Wild Wild West 3,3,Vengaboys,Boom Boom Boom Boom!! 4,2,Whitney Houston,My Love Is Your Love 5,5,S Club 7,Bring It All Back 6,NE,Lolly,Viva La Radio 7,7,Britney Spears,Sometimes 8,9,Shania Twain,That Don't Impress Me Much 9,4,Jennifer Lopez,If You Had My Love 10,8,Madonna,Beautiful Stranger ... The one now on the OCC site (https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/singl.../19990704/7501/) is the same for Numbers 1 and 2, then has Whitney at 3 with the Vengaboys at 4, 6 & 7 are also swapped, as are 8 & 9 and the differences get bigger the lower down the chart you go. Was this an official (announced or otherwise) reissue of the chart, or is this possibly a Copyright Trap?

ERIK HASSLE Swedish male singer/songwriter, born 26/8/88 20 Feb 10 Hurtful 59 1 wk Total Hits : 1 Total Weeks : 1 4OZCuHmgVek Who? Neither the name nor the song title evoked any memories in the depths of my brain, so if was off to Youtube to find it. It's a pleasant enough pop single, with perhaps the drum machine mixed a little bit too loud, but it's nothing you haven't heard 100 times before and most of them better songs and more proficiently performed than this. He never even set the world alight in his native Sweden, but according to Wikipedia it made number 2 in Denmark. He's now more of a songwriter, writing in collaboration for Zara Larsson and Christina Aguilera, and in a throwback to the previous post, one of the songs from Marina's "Love & Fear" album.

MARINA & THE DIAMONDS British female singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist, born Marina Diamandis, 10/10/85 13 Feb 10 Hollywood 12 15 wks 24 Apr 10 I Am Not A Robot 26 7 wks 31 Jul 10 Oh No! 38 5 wks 15 Oct 11 Radioactive 25 3 wks 28 Apr 12 Primadonna 11 14 wks 16 Feb 13 How To Be A Heartbreaker 88 1 wk 15 Nov 18 Baby (Clean Bandit featuring Marina & Luis Fonsi) 15 15 wks Total Hits : 7 Total Weeks : 60 n1VTcJfL7RE dU7GoCKSQfg Gj5L9SYhoSE A Buzzjack favourite at the time, if I remember correctly. She's come close three times to breaking the Top 10, but never quite managed it. On the albums front, her chart record is rather better with "Electra Heart" reaching number one and all four of her studio albums hitting the Top 10. None of the singles from the last two albums have troubled the top 100, so the Clean Bandit featured credit is her only singles chart appearence for over 7 years now.

Second Round Qualifying results now in the post above. Two more games are due to take place today while one was postponed until Monday.

JEDWARD Irish male vocal duo, twins Edward & John Grimes (born 16/10/91). They finished 6th in the 2009 series of The X Factor, and represented Ireland in two successive Eurovision Song Contests, coming 8th in 2011 and 19th in 2012 13 Feb 10 Under Pressure (Ice Ice Baby) (Jedward featuring Vanilla Ice) 2 10 wks 31 Jul 10 All The Small Things 80 1 wk 21 May 11 Lipstick 40 2 wks Total Hits : 3 Total Weeks : 13 pvp9ELDix5I XgrlG6hQbNM Where do we start here (without being too rude?). The artist synopsis says all that's worth saying about their musical career really. They have jointly presented a number of TV programmes and have been on a couple of "celebrity" Reality TV shows, and since the Covid-19 outbreak they have been very prominent in promoting the wearing of facemasks.

I don't think that's a new thing. In fact of nearly 50 years of listening to music, I can only think of one album to which that applied - "Born To Run" by Bruce Springsteen. And even then some of the tracks might have needed to be edited down to make singles. Every other album I've ever bought (many hundreds) has had one or more tracks I could easily pass on.

DANNY BYRD British male DJ/producer, born 4/5/79 13 Feb 10 Sweet Harmony (Danny Byrd featuring Liquid) 64 4 wks 09 Oct 10 Ill Behaviour (Danny Byrd featuring I-Kay) 36 3 wks 19 Feb 11 Tonight (Danny Byrd featuring Netsky) 91 1 wk Total Hits : 3 Total Weeks : 8 KYxX2CSVjQw 6u1vq8xI1Vg Three hits, all with different collaborators, with only the middle one squeaking into the Top 40. He is still active, both making music of his own and remixing that of other artists.

PASSION PIT American male vocal/instrumental group Ayad Al Adhamy, Michael Angelakos, Jeff Apruzzese, Nathan Donmoyer & Ian Hultquist with contributions on the single by the choir of elementary school PS22 from Graniteville, New York 06 Feb 10 The Reeling 99 1 wk Total Hits : 1 Total Weeks : 1 qVstHPhaJ6M Angelakos still operates as Passion Pit, although now it is essentially a solo project.

For how they work as albums, from start to finish, there's two candidates for me Deacon Blue - "Raintown" Human League - "Dare"

MIDNIGHT BEAST Briitsh male comedy vocal group (Stefan Abingdon, Ashley Horne & Andrew Wakely) 06 Feb 10 Tik Tok (Parody) 90 2 wks 25 Sep 10 Booty Call EP 64 1 wk (Tracks: Booty Call (A Bit Rude)/Booty Call (clean version)/Daddy/Fashion Innit) 14 Jul 12 Begging 70 2 wks Total Hits : 3 Total Weeks : 5 D4npUdfEmbQ zzcVcs7SZdY I must admit that this group had totally passed me by. They even had a sitcom series on E4 in 2012, according to Wikipedia "The series consists of 6 episodes, and details a fictionalised version of the band's members as they attempt to become successful musicians". Sounds a bit S-Club to me. Their first small hit was a parody of Kesha's "Tik Tok", and apparently she liked it @6676461438

YOUNG MONEY American/Canadian male/female rap collective - Lil Wayne, Drake, Jae Millz, Gudda Gudda, Nicki Minaj & Tyga. Other acts appear as part of Young Money on the accompanying "We Are Young Money" album 30 Jan 10 Bedrock (Young Money featuring Lloyd) 9 24 wks Total Hits : 1 Total Weeks : 24 Ha80ZaecGkQ Listing exactly who is on "Bedrock" can be a problem because there were so many different versions. The above listing is designed to be inclusive rather than be limited to one particular version. Some members had already appeared on the charts (e.g. Lil Wayne & Drake), while for Nicki Minaj it was to be the first of many visits to the Top 100. She will be featured here in her own right in good time.

FUGATIVE British male rapper/singer, born Harry Byart, 11/3/94 30 Jan 10 Supafly 48 2 wks 22 May 10 Crush 26 2 wks 07 Aug 10 Bad Girl 59 1 wk Total Hits : 3 Total Weeks : 5 BiZo5RR4VH0 2HRJhCSnQF0 The chart of 30/1/10 saw two debut artists, one from each side of the Atlantic. The British representative was one Harry Byart who went by the name Fugative, and later was known as Harry James (James was his middle name) He had three hits, none of which hang around for more than a fortnight. Later efforts, including one with Wiley and another with a still-emerging Ed Sheeran, failed to chart. "Supafly" was a light-ish rap number, while the two follow-ups were very poppy and neither have aged very well at all.

SIDNEY SAMSON FEATURING WIZARD SLEEVE Dutch male DJ (born 2/10/81) with American male rappers/producers Lex One (Alex Cruz), Mike Beatz (Michael Barnett) and DJ/producer Pusher FM (Pedro Calcano) 16 Jan 10 Riverside (Let's Go) 2 19 wks Total Hits : 1 Total Weeks : 19 Pde2j70eiC8 Originally a house record with the vocals just consisting the same phrase as the XNRG cover version above (here sampled from Tupac Shakur), the hit record was augmented by a rap track by Wizard Sleeve. Neither Samson nor Wizard Sleeve ever bothered the Top 100 again. To show how much of a "one trick pony" he was, Samson made a reworking of the same basic song with Tujamo in 2018, and later that same year yet another version with Oliver Heldens called "Riverside 2099". He does, however, have a more successful career thread as a club DJ.

The BBC will be streaming the Warrington Rylands v York City on the red button, Iplayer and BBC Sport Online. So much for taking this around the country. This is less than 20 miles from the Maine Road game shown a couple of rounds ago.

OWL CITY American male singer/multi-instrumentalist (Adam Young, born 5/7/86) 16 Jan 10 Fireflies $ 1 38 wks 27 Feb 10 Vanilla Twilight 94 1 wk 01 Sep 12 Good Time (Owl City & Carly Rae Jepsen) 5 20 wks Total Hits : 3 Total Weeks : 59 psuRGfAaju4 H7HmzwI67ec Sounding more like a group rather than an individual, Owl City debuted on the chart wih "Fireflies" halfway up the Top 100, but exploded towards the top quickly thereafter, leaping to No. 2 the following week, then settling in for three weeks at number one. There was one more decent hit alongside Carly Rae Jepsen, but other than a token week at No. 94 that was it for his UK singles chart action.

Bieber started (before his 16th birthday) the way he meant to go on when he had two records both chart on his debut week, "One Time" at 14 and "Love Me" at 82. For a while it looked like he might become a chart irrelevance, for despite having 5 more solo entries in the next 3 months, none of them reached the Top 60. Alongside those solo records, came the first sign of how he became omnipresent, teaming up with Ludacris on "Baby" which made No. 3 He had to wait until 2015 for his first chart topper, but then he made up for lost time by having three in quick succession (all of which also made became US Billboard number ones) Since then, he's had four more number ones, three of them as a featured vocalist and one in partnership with Ed Sheeran. Other notable feats including a run of 10 hits in successive weeks in late 2013, all released in a campaign entitled "Music Mondays", only the last "Confident" had a sustained chart career, and placing all 18 tracks from the album "Purpose" on the chart of 26/11/15. He has only had one solo hit since 2015, but has remained in the public eye with a series of collaborations (16 of his last 17 chart entries) (You'll notice a couple of the symbols I use in my data here. The dollar sign means it was a US number one, and the arrow indicates it is still in the chart as of this week. There is another symbol which does not apply here and will be explained when it does become relevant!) One measure of how successful Bieber has been over the last 10 point something years is in the all-time list of "most weeks in the top 10 by artist" 386 - Elvis Presley 333 - Cliff Richard 289 - Shadows 265 - Rihanna 228 - Madonna 200 - Ed Sheeran 192 - Beatles 187 - Frankie Laine 173 - Calvin Harris 167 - Justin Bieber (Some tallies may give slightly different numbers for some artists if they credit various combinations of featured artists at times)

IYAZ British Virgin Islander male singer, born Keidran Jones, 15/4/87 16 Jan 10 Replay 1 24 wks 05 Jun 10 Solo 3 11 wks 28 Aug 10 So Big 40 6 wks 02 Oct 10 Pyramid (Charice featuring Iyaz) 17 4 wks 25 Jun 11 The Mack (Mann featuring Snoop Dogg & Iyaz) 28 8 wks Total Hits : 5 Total Weeks : 53 ZoG5jJ3E8rg 140ImixpY7M The first artist here whose chart career extended, albeit briefly, past 2010, and so far as I know the only chart act from the British Virgin Islands. "Replay" entered the chart at Number One and stayed there for two weeks, and managed 6 weeks in the Top 10 before slowly sliding down. The follow up fared less well (3-10-20....) and his only other solo hit managed a single week in the Top 40. Iyaz also appeared as part of the "supergroup" Artists For Haiti on the charity remake "We Are The World 25 For Haiti" of which more anon. He is still active in 2020, but chances of resurrecting his chart career look slim.

Five artists appeared for the first time on the chart of 16/1/10. Three of the five reached number one, one reached number two, and the other one managed a best of 79. We'll deal with that one first. DELPHIC British male vocal/instrumental group - Richard Boardman, Matt Cocksedge, James Cook & Dan Hadley 16 Jan 10 Doubt 79 2 wks Total Hits : 1 Total Weeks : 2 gXWf2FoQ_og According to Wikipedia, "Delphic were an alternative dance band from Stockport, England" They evolved from an earlier band with a much better name, Snowfight In The City Centre. This single, very reminiscent of New Order, was their only Top 100 single (but the accompanying album, "Acolyte" did rather better, reaching the Top 10. They finished 3rd in the BBC Sound of 2010 poll, so they were expected to do good things, but never approached the success of the top 2, Ellie Goulding and Marina & The Diamonds. Ellie first appeared on the chart in 2009, so is outside the scope of this thread, but Marina will be featured here in a dozen or so posts time.

I thought it might be interesting to look back at those artists who made their first appearance on the UK Singles Chart in 2010, i.e. ten years ago. That is plenty long enough to show who built sustained successfil careers and who were flashes in the pan. It might also flush out a few forgotten gems. There are just over 150 qualifying acts, some of whom just had a fleeting appearence (their "15 minutes of fame"?) and others who are still chart regulars today. I've used the same criteria as on some of my older threads, if all you have is one "featured" credit on someone else's record, I'm disregarding you. Anything more than that, you're in. All dates are week ending dates The chart data will almost exclusively relate to the singles chart, but I may make reference to an album from time to time. I'll also link to a few Youtube vidoes, usually including the debut hit and maybe 1 or 2 more of the artists more successful hits. There were no qualifying acts on the first chart of the year (2/1/10) so moving swiftly on to the following week, and we have our first "here today, gone tomorrow" artist XNRG Anonymous pre-release cover group 09 Jan 10 Riverside (XNRG featuring Alex K) 94 1 wk Total Hits : 1 Total Weeks : 1 P5_NwJZlvPg Alex K had previously had appeared in the lower reaches of the chart, 10 years earlier with "You Got It" so he's not the subject here, but XNRG is/are. All Discogs have to say about them is "Cover group specialising in mainstream house tracks around 2010-2011" Pre-release cover acts didn't really approach their peak until 2013, but here we have an example. The song in question would go on to be a hit next week which I will cover in a few posts time. This version cuts out most of the lyrics, merely retaining the title of the song and adds frequent refernce to the Oedipal noun. It also speeds up the beat quite significanly. HonestLy, you're missing nothing if you don't listen to the youtube clip.
