The song that was labelled as Cafe Bagdad by Los Apollos appeared to have been mislabelled and appears to actually be Ali Baba. In any case the song I am charting hasn't actually changed so it will be retrospectively changed in the past charts.

The Levelllers didn't quite make #1 this week but could well be there next week having had 3 #1 hits in the space of 30 months in the 1990s, Hope St, What A Beautiful Day and Dog Train, the last of those #1 the last week of 1997 and the first of 1998. What A Beautiful Day was the #1 single of 1997.

The big NM chart "revolution" happened on 11 April 1998 and before that date (1977 up to April 1998) the chart was based pretty much on what was in the UK chart and sometimes the US chart. The Levellers achieved all 3 of their previous #1s during that period. Obviously the chart was less competitive but I am certain that "What A Beautiful Day" at least would have always been a #1 no matter when it was released. Their other #1s were "Hope St" in 1995 and "Dog Train" just after Christmas 1997. That song was replaced at #1 by "Angels" and "Hope St" had Blur and Oasis both aiming to replace it but neither did, it was actually replaced at #1 by "You Oughta Know" by Alanis Morissette. "What A Beautiful Day" was #1 in August 1997 replacing "D'You Know What I Mean" by Oasis and was replaced at #1 by "Tubthumping" by Chumbawamba on the weekend Diana died.

Morten Harket's only #1 with A-Ha was even earlier, in 1987 with Manhattan Skyline. As recently at 2009, "Foot Of The Mountain" peaked at #3 for A-Ha. He was also namechecked in a #1... (anyone here remember which one? Clue: 2004).

Charlie Fink who features on Charlotte Gainsbourg's song is from Noah & The Whale. This is actually in the credits but I took it off for here, a bit like Space featuring Cerys from Catatonia back in 1998, actually I think the #1 the week the chart rule changed.

I just about recall the Subways having a single a few years ago called Rock 'N' Roll Queen which I didn't like and thus didn't chart it even though I think I bought it and it ended up on my playlist. They are back now though and get into the chart this time.

The current playlist does not include Eurovision songs so they won't be in the next chart, they may be in the chart afterwards. Usually I have a few from there chart. The Swiss entry by Sinplus actually peaked at #83 in November last year, and I'm surprised songs can be as old as that and eligible but I guess you have a whole year. That song failed to reach the final stage.

[TheThorne]

Subways have actually had 11 singles and 3 albums and I have charted all of them I think, they have had 3 top 10s in my chart biggest hit was either 'It's My Party' or 'Oh Yeh!'

[Earl Purple]

I just searched for Subways to see what I have by them.

"Alright" and "I Won't Let You Down" both 2008 so later than "Rock & Roll Queen", and I also have "Oh Yeah", "No Goodbyes" and "With You" which were all on the "Young For Eternity" album (same album that had "Rock & Roll Queen").

Looking them up though "No Goodbyes" was the only one to reach my chart, peaking at #20 in January 2006.

[TheThorne]

Never noticed the return of Kate Nash on your playlist funny how you can go from ubiquity to obscurity in a few short years,the nature of pop music eh?

[Milliways]

Warrior In Woolworths? Don't remember seeing that on the playlist?!

#58: Is that a new song? I chucked it off my playlist for that reason.

Again one of my standouts only makes the bubblers.

[Earl Purple]

It's rare I chart track 2 but it was The Thin Kids Theme / Warrior In Woolworths, the first track Thin Kids / Kate Nash, the second track Everett True / Kate Nash so really I should credit Everett True as well. The EP was credited to Kate Nash who appears on both tracks which is how come only she got credited above.

With regards to In My Street, I cannot see any earlier release of this song or appearance on any of their older albums, although the Curtains have been around a few years.

[Earl Purple]

My last playlist of the month was Monday 28 May, the chart from it is Saturday 2 June so that goes into the June topic.

The playlist songs were:

The View – How Long
Jess Roberts – Voodoo Woman
The Black Keys – Dead And Gone
Underline The Sky – Bad News
Dangerbrain – English Country Man
Newton Faulkner – Write It On Your Skin
Broadfield – Goodbye
Young Aviators – The Question Is
Cris Sky – Innovation
Victor Talking Machine – Tuscany
Buddha For Mary – Run
Dave Hill – Tasteful Nudes
Ryan Cassata – Soda Cans
Sep7ember – So
Family of the Year – Diversity
The Rockouts – Kick
Billy Talent – Viking Death March
Buffalo Ink – Your Head Is My Head
Broken Hands – If You Need To Lie
Gabriel Bruce – Dark Lights, Shine Loud
Tellison – Freud Links The Teeth And The Heart
New Shouts – Gazes in the Dark
Bangers – Good Good Livin
Binary – Modern Man
Chris Keith – In America
Practical Lovers – Textbook Romance
TOWNS – Just Everything
Laurence and the Slab Boys – Mushroom
Mark Magram – Angry Birds Song
Lonsdale Boys Club – Light Me Up
Ken Masuda – Find the Blue Scarecrow
Karima Francis – Wherever I Go
Loreen – Euphoria - Single Version
Man Without Country – Closet Addicts Anonymous
Stereonoiz – Someday You Will Know
Oak Street Blues – Stars
The Branco Heist – Brothers
Klooch – Suzi Q
The Lovely Eggs – Food
Of Monsters And Men – Dirty Paws
Quant – Play With Mary
Bear Driver – Enemy
Thea Jayne – French Toast
Secret Country – Seven Days a Week
Terminal Gods – Electric Eyes
Super Music People – The London I Love

and from the chart that came from it, it would seem that this week being either right near the start or right near the end was an advantage (but that's just the way it worked out).

Unlike the last 3 years, only one Eurovision song in that playlist.
