Sledgehammer rihanna mp3 download3/17/2024 ![]() I now have 5 complete decades of charts, hope to compile my Top 100 of 2019, the 2010’s and the 21st Century, before long….ġ 18 1 2 PLEASE DON’T f*** UP MY WORLD Sparks 192000Ģ 1 1 3 THE SWEET HELLO THE SAD GOODBYE (BASSFLOW REMAKE) Roxette 400000ģ 3 1 8 THIS IS HOW (WE WANT YOU TO GET HIGH) George Michael 649100Ĥ 4 1 11 YOU AND ME AS ONE Sigma & Jack Savoretti 1275100ĥ 7 5 4 BLINDING LIGHTS The Weeknd 152600Ħ 11 6 4 THE NIGHT Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons 123500ħ 5 3 6 WATERMELON SUGAR Harry Styles 278200ĩ 20 9 6 BURNING THE HEATHER Pet Shop Boys 114850ġ2 2 2 2 DRIVING HOME FOR CHRISTMAS Chris Rea 150000ġ3 26 13 7 EVERYTHING I WANTED Billie Eilish 102700ġ4 15 14 6 CAN I KEEP YOU Efisio Cross 124200ġ5 10 1 9 ONE SHY MORNING Amon Tobin 919000ġ8 NEW 18 1 FADES AWAY Avicii featuring Mishcatt 22000Ģ2 22 16 6 CAN’T FIGHT THIS FEELING Bastille featuring Contemporary London Orchestra 117000Ģ4 23 1 18 NOBODY ELSE The S.L.P. Publish them Elton!ĭown at t’other end of the chart, Kim Wilde gets another track in, Coldplay get a 3rd off the new album, and Travis return for the first time in 6 years and increase their span of entries to 22 years. Incidentally, I have a bone to pick with Elton – here I am thinking I’ve possibly got the longest-running personal chart in the world and he goes and announces he still does his own charts too, and must have started long before I did! Outrageous. We had previously had My Girl Bill in 1974, which got Rod’s bestie Elton all excited when he reviewed it for Record Mirror – till writer Jim Stafford sneakily stuck a comma in at the end and dashed expectations, cos she’s my girl, Bill. Sir Rod, like all his best records, wrote it himself. ![]() Highest new entry at 18 is another good single from the late Avicii, Fades Away, with great vocal support from Mishcatt, Kim Wilde enters the top 20 with Hope as another of hers exits from the Winter Songbook album, and in at 39, one of Rod Stewart’s great songs, done over by the RPO – The Killing Of Georgie was a groundbreaking song in 1976, and was based on the murder of a gay friend, making it the first overtly gay-supporting hit record. One day I’ll check when I get my 20th century charts on spreadsheets finally done. I think only 2 official singles have failed to make my top 10. Granted very few of them are still active! Sparks are though, i saw them supporting Beck the other year and fab they still were with then-new album Hippopotamus.įrankie Valli & The Four Seasons finally go top 10 with The Night 47 years late, having missed out in 1975 as a belated Northern Soul reissued smash, Harry Styles make it a 3rd top 10 in a row in 4 months – that’s just greedy! Pet Shop Boys keep their top 10 run of official singles intact with Burning The Heather as B side Decide enters at 60. The boys have been consistently good over the years since but have never peaked higher than 2 in the interim, and with Please Don’t F**k Up My World (a sentiment that applies in more than one sense) they finally get that deserved elusive 2nd chart-topper, which gives them the biggest gap between number ones with new material by quite a few years, and also the longest stretch of chart-toppers in my chart by virtue of no-one who topped my chart between 19 having topped my chart in the last 6 years. ![]() It’s Sparks up to the top slot for the final chart of the decade, the brotherly duo getting a second number one 45 years and 7 months since getting This Town Ain’t Big Enough For Both Of Us to 1 on debut. ![]()
