Tailormade get the highest new entry as their big hit drops out. They had another minor hit in between with "Primrose Hill" but the new one will get them a big hit, albeit not necessarily another #1.

I finally get to post this. And I'll edit the last week's chart to put in the video playlist which was created for that chart, so has Freedom Fry still at #1. This week that song takes a bit of a tumble, the biggest fall from #1 since November 2016 when Luis & The Bots made the same drop with "Blood On The Snow". That single had also spent 2 weeks at #1 but didn't take as many weeks to get there as this one did. The run of Freedom Fry so far has been 18-8-3-2-2-1-1-5

So Jason Mraz gets to #1. Actually I knew when it was on the playlist it probably should get to #1 but this year has been strange for singles not finishing top of their playlist but overtaking the one that was, and it was actually the 3rd highest entry on its week.

Another week at #1 for Jason Mraz whose first hit "The Remedy (I Won't Worry)" peaked at #18 in 2003 and was his biggest hit previously. Mighty Mighty Bosstones had a #2 in 1998 with "The Impression That I Get" and were most recently in the chart at the end of 2011 with "Like A Shotgun" which peaked at #5.

Hooverphonic also enter this week. They were in the chart 17 years ago with "Mad About You" which is their biggest hit to date peaking at #7. They were last in the chart in 2016 with "I Like The Way I Dance" which peaked #38, and "Harmless Shapes" also reached #22 in 2013.

[TheThorne]

7 new songs this week that made my list but none charted. Just too many good songs that week.

[Earl Purple]

I think it's more that we tend to like different music now, whereas we seem to like mostly the same songs around 1986.

That could either be because you favour major artists (but then Jason Mraz is a major artist but I'd sort-of expect you not to like him that much) or because you tend to like the "sound of 2018" whereas I tend to like more retro-sounding songs.

Or that 4 out of my top 6 entries don't have proper videos yet

Also only 4 songs in my top 75 made the real top 75 so hardly sound of 2018

[Earl Purple]

Yes but the other two I probably wouldn't like.

Next week will have a video playlist. The list of new singles I'm building today will be used for the last playlist before the 3 weeks.

[TheThorne]

Maybe but you have charted Fickle Friends and Interpol before

Anyway even making my list means I like a song but that week I had 27 entries. If i could chart 50 new songs each week i would hehe

[Earl Purple]

My chart has usually 17-20 entries a week. 18 seems to be a normal average. On a typical week 5 singles enter inside the top 40 but the top 40 has more entries that have climbed in.

The 3 weeks starts next week but I'll probably compile early and post a chart next week before the break.

This week has a video playlist, 20180624_realvideos

[TheThorne]

Ahh new Alpaca Sports need to hear that.

Also you have charted Culture Abuse that is a real shock, they are totally my genre and probably half the music in my chart especially this week sounds like them in some way. It's not because you found them first ?

I discovered them on Sunday so will maybe chart this now.

[Earl Purple]

Culture Abuse got in my chart because it appeared on my list, had a real video and got through all the filters to come 10th in the week's playlist.

Most of the 8 artists who charted above them have had a major hit at some point, but for Loveshack it's a total debut but just my kind of genre . Liberty Ship is also a name I don't recognise. I can't remember what Alastair Griffin's previous biggest hit was, but the other 7 names among the entries have I think all had at least one top 3 hit, I'll have to check with Alpaca Sports.

Miracle Of Sound have appeared on more of my video playlists than any other artist.

This is the final chart before the 3 weeks, and actually the scoring up was done early. I also did a midweek cull leaving myself with just 16 songs. Often called the playlist of death because it's the last one I listen to before the 3 weeks and I come back forgetting all the songs on it.

A moment of history. Artists have had the #1 and highest new entry on the same week before (Skinny Lister last did it in 2015) but having their first week at #1 with their first hit and on the same week the highest new entry with their 2nd hit - not sure that's ever happened before. Of course you then find they have a whole album from 2016 but no singles or videos from it.

[Earl Purple]

At the halfway stage of the year, these have been the number ones:

13 Jan: (3 wks) Yearning - Do You Remember
03 Feb: (3 wks) Eminem ft Beyoncé - Walk On Water
24 Feb: (4 wks) Manic Street Preachers - International Blue
24 Mar: (5 wks) Tailormade - Mr Perfect
28 Apr: (4 wks) Jeremy Messersmith - Purple Hearts
26 May: (2 wks) Freedom Fry - Classic
09 Jun: (3 wks) Jason Mraz - Have It All
30 Jun: (1+ wk) Moment 44 - Movin' Along

Number twos:

John Moore - Philosophical Man
Savoy - January Thaw
George Ezra - Paradise
Shitbaby Mammals - Abner Devereaux
:PM - Feel Like A Fool
Jack DeMeo - Most Honest Liar
Royal Wood - King And Queen
D'Artagnan - Crush Hour

It's been mostly male-vocal dominated. Some are male/female, only the Yearning has female-only vocals.
