Ok, so Eminem with Beyonce got to #1. This was added from the imvdb list, which I have used to supplement my list for the last couple of months. Savoy move up to #2. They are a duo of Paul Waaktaar-Savoy from A-Ha and his wife. A-Ha were more than just Morten Harkett and it's nice to see Paul get a big hit in my chart outside the band to show that. 

The highest new entry comes from George Ezra, who had a big hit Budapest a couple of years ago.

Last week my regular playlist was 290 songs long. I have no idea what happened this week but it's over 700 songs long. Among them are a rather crazy list of artist names, but they all appear to have videos.

Here is a sample of the artist names:

Lorelai, Vivalma, Norwall, Capitano, Spiders, Kovelta, Heelers,
Londale, Ed Dias, Silayio, Ponette, Hillhar, Lebrock, Molitor, Tommy G, Carlito,
Ornello, Modesta, Haven21, Rokkson, Reece J, Vanilla, Mimikry, Mia Roble, Capulus,
Moroni, Rubbish, Chrisx, Repato, Phangs, Neisha, Chooxy, Vivvid, Mandell, Crytal,
Al Xsk, Cloves, Ferras, Lynchs, Hurry, Flaunt, Milck, Ohhioh, Dholes, Zoey G, Teeers,
Tawnee, Blenda, Bangss, Marey, Rikas, Relya, Stain, Diet., Drens, Snoow, Nomad,
Sissi, Mccoy, Micah, Kovic, Owlle, Ymani, Freak, Enea, Mylk, Pyra, Rann, Faid, Jowl,
Liyv, Jeph, Navy, Rhys, Dcf, L8nc, Wulf, Yves, Fends, Guri, Nir, Ori, Mwv, Facs,
Heit

Where did that lot suddenly come from? I have no idea how I'm going to sort out a playlist this week. That does not include the imvdb list.

I also don't understand why the Manic Street Preachers song for example has only just appeared this week. My initial result list wasn't any bigger but so many more came back from the waitlist.

[TheThorne]

Sounds like you might be picking up more YouTubers rather than that 'proper' acts, just a guess, they do look more like usernames than names of artists. They are probably homemade videos and fan covers etc.

Also as I am sick of saying you expect us to pay attention to your charts but you don't to ours, why didn't you just add Manic Street Preachers when I had it on the post on my personal chart the day after it came out? You even actually made a  post directly below it.

[Earl Purple]

I have:

Manic Street Preachers - International Blue: 16 December 2017 (Spotify, actual release date 8 December), 9 January 2018 (youtube).

however youtube has only just this week returned the official video as the first result. My guess is that there was some other version on youtube and until this week that was getting returned as the first result.

My program only looks at the first result. I would like to make it more sophisticated so that it heuristically picks the best match of the first 2 or 3.

The waitlist now extends for 7 weeks. So the Manics was on its last week before getting dropped completely.

I just looked it up and the previous week it had returned this result, which got rejected:
International Blue - Manic Street Preachers (Guitar Solo Cover)    Adam Lloyd    2017-12-10T16:06:29.000Z    PT1M2S    63    JQVdrowCq1I

Now it got:

Manic Street Preachers - International Blue (Official Video)    ManicStPreachersVEVO    2018-01-09T08:00:07.000Z    PT4M35S    70    zcJ8BTAGqE0

[Earl Purple]

By the way, an artist who just recently entered my 1970 chart also has a single on my playlist this week...

You are just not getting it, it was right here!!! fatherandy2.proboards.com/thread/92546/thorne-chart-12-01-2018

You even noticed Inheaven had a video 2 days ago yet Manics was included on the thread, yes it was 9th within 24 hours of my thread post. Try using your eyes and brain instead of dumb algorithms.

And I have a band from one retro charts top 10 of 1983, Toto in my current top 10. But you will never chart or pay it any attention it as it doesn't have a 'proper' video. The video is animated though www.youtube.com/watch?v=rerilfJQvfk

[Earl Purple]

I need to revise my program. The Manics song was on my waitlist. INHEAVEN wasn't.

In any case I have Matthews Southern Comfort enter my retro chart in 1970 with Woodstock. Total one hit wonders and suddenly returning.

The Damned will enter the 1986 retro chart and also have one on the playlist.
A-Ha will drop from #1 to #2 in my 1986 chart when I get to post it. Paul Waaktarr-Savoy's new act is #2 on my chart above and could climb to #1 next week..

The Damned song is a bit meh but i have never been that big a fan, think it last 1 play on my list.

[Earl Purple]

On a normal week those might chart. This isn't a normal week, my playlist is enormous.
I will have to do a cut down of them soon. I haven't made a retro list which I wanted to do because tomorrow is the 3rd anniversary of the date I started it, and a playlist that finishes 1970 thus completing 11 years would have been great.

[Earl Purple]

Midweek cut last night saw the playlist go down to a more manageable 27 songs and saw me add a retro playlist of just 25 songs. And with me having missed much of Tuesday's listening through illness (I was asleep in bed much of the day and not listening to music) but it's far more sane now.

Of the 27 that survived I'll probably chart more than the normal 18-19 because the list was so big to start with.

Franz Ferdinand were on the original list but cut. Other big names on the list (all still in). Levellers, Vaccines and even Kylie Minogue, and of course Manic Street Preachers. Damned and Matthews Southern Comfort both still in.

They've been around a long time. Eminem & Beyonce both started out in the last couple of years in the 1990s, Beyonce as part of Destiny's Child. The Manics had their first hits in the early part of the 1990s (1991 but really made it properly in 1992). Paul Waaktaar-Savoy of Savoy since 1985 with A-Ha and those could make up next week's top 3. The Manics song has been played a lot recently on Absolute Radio. I haven't heard them play either of my current top 2 because they're a boring station. I haven't even heard them play the Vaccines new one but they do sometimes play older songs by that band.

It was a huge playlist and the new entries include Matthews Southern Comfort who had a UK #1 in late 1970 with Woodstock and they were one-hit wonders, they didn't have any other hits at all. It peaked at NM #5 on 17 October 1970 and fell to #7 the following week, the most recent week I have posted. The Carpenters were #1 that week with "We've Only Just Begun" and Julie Felix also had a song in the chart - she would return to the chart on the last week of 2012 and reach #8 in January 2013 with "Tiger Eyes". So she actually got a top 10 hit in her return, but we won't see that happen with Matthews Southern Comfort who only enter at #80.

For those who think I only chart obscure stuff, the top 4 are all major artists, 3 of them are played regularly on Absolute Radio. I haven't heard them play Eminem but that one must get played on other radio stations.

Eminem falls from the top but the duet with Ed Sheeran enters this week after the official video was only recently released. Both have been known to be slow climbers in this chart so that may do better than its entry position suggests but don't expect it to get to #1.

After such a major #1 hit though Paloma Faith fails to make the cut. I was however surprised to see Ella Henderson's name on the songwriting credits for the #1 "Guilty", which means she joins Lucy Spraggan as X-Factor acts who have written or co-written an NM #1. Both of them were in the same series (2012).
