Nerina Pallot didn't manage to take over from :PM at #1. She was #1 on this chart 16 years ago this week with "Patience", memorable because she was #1 on the week of the 9/11 incident. She also had a #3 hit in 2006 with "Everybody's Gone To War". Her current song appears to sample / copy / heavily borrow from Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams" in the verse.

[frag]

Wow, six weeks for :PM! When's the last time you had such a run?

For me, the only song to pass five weeks was 'Knights of Cydonia' (the last 8 weeks of 2006). The last 5-weeker was My Chemical Romance with 'Na Na Na' towards the end of 2010, although I've only compiled charts for just under 50 weeks since then.

Since you mention it, my number one for the week (indeed, the entire month) of 9/11 was 'Bliss' by Muse. The Nerina Pallot song reached my top 75 (#63 last week), but has dropped out now.

I've looked at your dropout lists, and you never seem to have a song that lasts just one week on the chart. Do you ensure that somehow?

[Milliways]

It really is a cracking #1, deserves to be a hit record but sadly this style of music doesn't get in the singles charts any more .

Anything else in the chart that you'd particularly recommend I give a listen?

[Earl Purple]

Songs that have been 6 or more weeks at #1 in the 2010s:

"Pack Up" - Eliza Doolittle
"Breathe In Breathe Out" - Tich
"Real Hope" - Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott
"Young And Wild" - Sarah Hollins
"Time Of My Life" - Lost Van Goghs
"From The Fire To The Frying Pan" - Sonic Boom Six
"Suppression Starts At School" - New Old World
"Grown Ups" - :PM

Of those "Time Of My Life" was 7 weeks at #1, all the others exactly 6.

[Earl Purple]

Due to the way I compile the chart, whereby most of it us "formula" it is very unlikely for a song to drop straight out, but it has happened.

Mostly, the top 40 is the important part. I do listen to the top 60 often on a Monday but also the top 40 over breakfast and the top 40 is what gets a song on my video playlist. Once a song gets into the top 40 there's a chance I will push it up or hold it down based on after-listens but the lower part is pretty much all formula-based.

It is useful to see the lower part, particularly when a band like Cherry Head Cherry Heart or Ghost Station got #1s late last year and looked if I'd charted any of their back catalogue (both had had one minor hit before).

A new number one, the first for Emma Stevens after 4 years. Her first hit on this chart was "Riptide" in October 2013. Her peaks today so far have been:

2013: Riptide (#32)
2014: Make My Day (#63)
2014: Gold Rush (#3)
2015: Never Gonna Change (#16)
2017: Sing Out (Hey La Hey Lo) (#15)
2017: To My Roots (#1)

Wolf Alice and MUNA both big names that were on the playlist but didn't chart. I know they're both popular here though. "The Fizz" are actually Bucks Fizz, as you probably know. They had a #1 in my chart in 1982 with "Now Those Days Are Gone". Another #1 artist also entered this week, SHINERS (who seem to be heavily influenced by Blur) had a #1 in 2016 with "19 Again". Note that I "normalise" all artist names with regards to capitalisation and also removing any "The" at the prefix of their name. So they chart as "Fizz" and "Shiners" not "The Fizz" and "SHINERS". I do sometimes adjust them back thus :PM not :Pm, and similarly Lily McQueen not Lily Mcqueen.

Bucks Fizz had a lot # 1s in my chart. The most successful were "The Land Of Make Believe" with 9 weeks at # 1 (my # 2 of 80s decade), Cheryl Baker's solo "If Paradise is Half As Nice" (my favourite single of 1987) and their debut "Making Your Mind Up" (5 weeks at # 1).

"Dancing In The Rain" is the best new song, which I heard in this year. In this way Cheryl Baker is the oldest female singer, which had number # 1 single in my chart.

P.S : Why you put a title of song before the name of singer / band ?

The oldest female singer to have had a #1 in my chart is Debbie Harry, when Blondie reached #1 in my chart earlier this year with "Long Time". She was 71.

The youngest is Helen Shapiro with "Walking Back To Happiness" in 1961. Olivia Haschak was close though as the Haschak Sisters reached #2 in my chart last year and she was only 10 at the time.

The youngest vocalist to appear in my chart is potentially the boy on Microbe's "Groovy Baby" which is in my 1969 chart. I think he was 3 at the time. Given I was 4 in 1969, there was already someone younger than me in the chart back then...

Debbie was the previous record holder for oldest # 1s singers with "Maria".

The youngest probably German rock singer LaFee with "Prinzesschen". She was only 15 years old in the middle of 2005.

[Earl Purple]

Julie Felix had a top 10 hit in my chart in January 2013 with "Tiger Eyes" and at the time was older than Debbie Harry is now. It didn't get to #1 though. Still, she is the oldest singer to have a top 10 hit in my chart, but Larry Adler had his hit with Kate Bush as an instrumentalist at an even older age.

The youngest singer proper to reach my chart (actually as a lead singer, not making noises on a song) is Rachel Arianna who had a top 10 hit "Speechless" in December 2013. Unfortunately that's the only one of her singles that isn't on youtube. She had a new single out recently that had a video but it wasn't good enough to get in my chart. She was 9 at the time of her hit.

[TheThorne]

Just skimmed through your top 12. Doubt I would chart any of them top 75 but Cold Fronts are on my playlist been their since 13/9. Only room for a certain number of new entries but great songs will miss it. Most songs on my playlists only get played once unless tehy have something special.

I thought it was a good week for new ones.

Thorney will probably like at least one of my entries this week - Walk The Moon. I think you may also like the single immediately above it in the chart by Geowulf but not sure. Isaac Gracie's single is slow-paced.

Glow is bouncy pop-rock. Could well get to #1. Not the kind of thing you'd like though, and I know you don't like High Dive Heart.

[TheThorne]

Isaac Gracie is on my playlist, he is has done better though. Think I have charted or playlisted Geowulf before.
