And happy watching of Video playlist 20170702_realvideos which is a long show this time containing 30 songs, 6 of which appeared on the previous one, especially due to the Strypes and Sapphire getting good runs after appearing on that one plus several others that are still in their peaks even as non-movers this week (e.g. She Makes War and D'ambrosio Twins).

We have two from the Strypes and two from Manchester Orchestra.

[TheThorne]

Used to really like Manchester Orchestra but this one isn't grabbing me, I am leaving it on my listening playlist but I doubt i will chart it.

[Earl Purple]

I'm not sure I remember if I've ever charted them before but they have 2 singles in my top 40 this week and Alien was my highest new entry and having seen it on the video show last night it is a really good song.

Of some of the others:

- She Makes War - I Want My Country Back. This actually sounds moderately similar to Garbage "Only Happy When It Rains". A song to which I gave a high score when it came up in Haven Factor.
- D'ambrosio Twins - Young And Free. Joyous high-energy girl pop. Apparently they are only 11 days older than my son but in the video they look a lot older than 12 to me. Or maybe Gamliel looks very young for his age but I'd have guessed they were more like 15.
- Clockwork Flowers - Uncle John. The "John" they are referring to is John Lennon and this was released as a special tribute to the 50th anniversary of the Sgt Pepper album. In the video they dress as John Lennon lookalikes and wear an outfit similar to the one he wore on the Sgt Pepper album.
- Strypes - Behind Closed Doors. Anthemic indie stuff, similar kind of thing to the Vaccines. This has been steadily climbing. They had a top 5 album when they first started out 4 years ago (well when I first heard of them) and made a big debut in my chart but it seems music like this never charts anymore in the UK.
- Sapphire - Turn The Music Loud. More energy girl-pop. This girl is supposedly 14. A cute video filmed near a beach with a male fan (or stalker?) who finally gets to meet her when she performs a "festival" and a lot of dancing. Hopefully this kind of thing can be the future of pop, and she's British too.

[TheThorne]

Yeh well when you need 250000 people streaming your song to go top 40 , indie really has no chance anymore

You talked about Fratellis recently they only needed 5000 copies to chart that's how things have changed

[Earl Purple]

Bands like the Vaccines were having chart hits in the early 2010s but that was on downloads, before streaming counted.

And the Strypes had a #5 album in 2013.

Chelsea Dagger is one of those indie rock anthems that has crossover universal appeal. Lots of other songs made it into the top 10 because a loyal fanbase bought them but nobody else remembers them. Not that song.

And back in the 1980s, there may have been top 5 hits I didn't like but at least I still knew them and knew how they went. That changed with the extremely fast movement in the charts in the 1990s and subsequently there were even #1s that I can't remember how they sounds.

Having said that, looking back at some of my charts I had big hits, even #2s, that I couldn't remember how they went until I listened to them again.

[Earl Purple]

I just looked up my chart of 11 years ago to recall how many songs I remember from it. 1 July 2006 was also a Saturday so there was an exact equivalent chart and it was filled with World Cup songs...

Of the others, I had the Zutons at #2 with "Valerie" about to climb to #1, and the Automatic with "Monster" at #3. Both also UK top 10 hits and both songs people would still remember.

There were quite a few lower down in the top 10 I don't remember.

Yep, I remember "Monster" - it was #2 for me that week, in between two runs at #1. As for world cup songs, Dario G's Carnival de Paris dropped out of my chart (from #12 - probably something to do with England losing).

I hard:
1. Turn Into - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
2. Monster - Automatic (former + future #1)
3. Sing It Out - Hope Of The States (don't remember this one)
4. Supermassive Black Hole - Muse (former #1)
5. Nashville Tennessee - Frank Turner

Also "White Collar Boy", a future #1 that I guess you'll remember, entered that week.

[Earl Purple]

White Collar Boy entered my chart that week as the highest entry around #15 and peaked at #2. That is by Belle And Sebastian, of course.

[Earl Purple]

I haven't posted the new chart yet. However there is a new #1 this week and one of the singers who is at #1 was also at #1 this week 28 years ago.

I think Cliff Richard may also have still been in that chart of 28 years ago with "The Best Of Me", and was also in the chart of 8th July 1961 with "A Girl Like You" (#4 on 8 July 1961).

There is nobody in that 1961 chart that was actively making music in 1933, however the song at #1 "Pasadena" by the Temperance Seven was written in 1931, so there may have been musicians recording it in 1933.

As you presumably already got from my comment earlier, Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott are #1. For Paul Heaton it's the 10th NM #1 he has been involved in, 6 with the Beautiful South and this is the 4th duet with Jacqui Abbott to reach #1. During the 2000s Paul Heaton had many hits including getting to #2 on 3 occasions (Mitch by Biscuit Boy, Manchester by the Beautiful South and Little Red Rooster as a solo track). On duetting with Jacqui they got to #1 in 2014 with "D.I.Y" then with "Real Hope" last week of that year running into 2015 (#1 for 6 weeks) and later in 2015 with "The Austerity Of Love". Jacqui Abbott joined the Beautiful South and appeared in their hits from 1994 onwards, of which two reached #1.

"Song For Whoever" was #1 on this week 28 years ago. And Cliff Richard was also in the chart that week, and he was also in the chart of 8 July 1961.

[Whitneyfan]

Good to see you charting Martine McCutcheon. It's a shame it won't get in the real charts though, as it's a brilliant comeback song.

Sapphire's run: entered 20th May: 55-34-28-35-22-23-12-10-8
Strypes (Behind Closed Doors) run: entered 27 May: 60-39-37-19-17-9-4-3

Those in italics show there was a video playlist that week on which the song appeared. Sapphire didn't appear on the video playlist of 20th May because she only entered at #55 so was outside the top 40.

I have 2 more charts to post and there will be a video playlist.

I have now discovered that I can find new videos here:

imvdb.com

Seems these are "proper" videos, it gives the artist name and title and director of the video, and I can see the new ones on the top row.

So it's a good way to source a few good videos of songs for my charts. New Wolf Alice and Shins videos for example appear in the first row.

If I ever decide to give up the current way of finding music because it's too tedious I guess I could use just this site.. It would probably suffice. Even if I reduce my chart back down to a top 50 and have only 12 songs a week on a playlist, I can still do a chart.

Of course I'll miss out on a whole load of new music I discover now, but it's always a balance between missing out on some new music, and missing out on having a life.

I gave you that link months ago possibly years ago, I use it all the time. fatherandy2.proboards.com/thread/88179/razzle-dazzles-bands-watch-shambolics  My site includes the best that is there plus videos they miss they still miss a lot. This is my August releases so far www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfX9VEevrBKy-Yg0B1iQpf001bVnLqIW0

The best thing about it is lots of acts release videos and say its the new single but they don't give them a separate entry in Spotify, this week for example Billy Talent and  At The Drive In and you would miss them if you didn't consider the video,

[Earl Purple]

I had a different link on vevo that I have used in the past.

For now I will probably continue my existing method but also use that site to add a handful.

What I really want though is to be able to continue to make a current chart, at least a top 40, without the enormous effort I have now to make the playlist and then filter it down into a chart.

The Lily McQueen song is on the imvdb site. That has risen to #1 in my chart now. I'm sure you would like it.

[TheThorne]

if its on imvdb I will have heard it, I play all the videos. yeh I remember that its actually better without the video, I didn't give it much of a chance. Its actually pretty good.

She doesn't look like a popstar, she needs a bit of a make over guess that's what put me off and I skipped onto the next song but yeh double standards if that had been the new Haim single I would probably make it my number one lol.

But you cant chart everything, its like the judges on The Voice, if you don't connect you just move on to the next one.

[Earl Purple]

Having a video for me is a pre-requisite to charting, but the chart is then based on the quality of the song. If the video passes by a minimal standard the song can still get to #1.

"Time Of My Life" by Lost Van Goghs was like that for me. Video had a lot of a clock moving and photos. That was supposed to reflect the song, which gives a life story of his early life plans then how they changed through time as he got older. Still it was good enough. Matthew Wilder's video last year had a few too many graphics too but was a great song.

The Sapphire song had a slow climb in my chart because the song caught on for me, not because she's cute. She is (albeit still only a teenager) but it was all about the song. (Obviously the Strypes had an even better slow climb and clearly I don't find them "cute").

[TheThorne]

I have certain bands that will always chart so new artists can find it hard getting into my chart especially if they sound like someone else I already like. I can only fit in about 15 songs each week.

Look at this week for example every entry is from an act that have had a top 10 hit in my chart at some time..in fact there are only 9 acts in my entire chart that have never had a top 10 before.

[Earl Purple]

It was like that for me in the old days but that's only because artists had to have record deals and so most releases were by artists who had released something before.

I'd be happy with my charts having just 1 or 2 new artists a week and established ones coming back all the time, but that just doesn't happen now and my policy is to pick the best songs over the known artist.

Still, I have my established artists getting lots of #1s, like Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott in the last 3 years, and remember that when D.I.Y got to #1 in my chart in 2014 it was over 17 years since the last Beautiful South #1 although Paul Heaton had hit #2 a few times in between. And of course Skinny Lister who pretty much dominated 2015.

Video playlist, 20170723_realvideos

which I have now watched. I see what you mean, Lily McQueen, nice song but doesn't appeal as "most beautiful woman in the video show", not that anyone did. The woman in the video with the tortoise, maybe. Can't even remember what song that was though..

I was rather blown away by the Manchester Orchestra song. Perhaps if I'd watched this video show before compiling the chart after it, it would have risen to #1. That Hey Geronimo song is rather good too. They did have a #1 in 2013 with Lazer Gun Show... anyone remember that? And yeah, I quite liked the Haschak Sisters one too... though I'm sure Milliways and others won't.
