The first 5 week #1 of the year then. In 2009 the first 5 week #1 appeared around the same time of year. Other years since 2008 we have seen it a lot earlier. In 2007 no singles stayed more than 4 weeks at #1 although the Fratellis were ending a 6 week run on top when the year started.
Both of the last two weeks' highest entries by middle aged women who were famous in the 80s have been surpassed by the song that entered below them. For Kim Wilde, it's her second consecutive single to spend two weeks at #5.
So after two 80s acts get the highest new entries the last two weeks, it's a return to a band from the 90s who had one hit called "Lemon Tree" in 1996. Freedom Fry get the highest entry. Ghost has a video with over a million views and it's quite glammy-heavy rock - a bit 80s style.
