TONY'S HITS CHART: 28th MARCH 2020
UKMix link for all embeds and links - including AlbumsI'll be honest, the world may be in a state of uncertainty and worry at the moment but the music scene is incredible. Some things have happened that were totally unexpected - some as a result of the self isolation and/or lockdown in place. I had a real task ordering some of this!
1 1 The Birthday Massacre - The Last Goodbye (3 weeks; peak #1)
2 22 Jarv Is... - House Music All Night Long (4 weeks; PEAK)
"One Nation Under A Roof". Little did he know how true that lyric would be. All of you who loved Pulp should be bopping to this in your rooms.
3 NE Little Mix - Break Up Song
Synthpop greatness (though it could do with a longer edit). From their first album away from Simon Cowell's label.
4 2 Janet Devlin - Away With The Fairies (3 weeks; peak #2)
Been a while since i had two X Factor acts in my top 5.
5 NE Wolfclub - All We Live For
One of those annoyingly reclusive synthwave acts with a track that has powerpop vocals that make it similar to LPX or Against The Current.
6 NE Blanche - Fences
Back to synth for Blanche on this great song with nice flourishes. I half think she should have saved it for next year's Eurovision.
7 3 Cam - Till There's Nothing Left (7 weeks; peak #1)
8 6 The Birthday Massacre - The Sky Will Turn (10 weeks; peak #1)
9 4 Jessie Ware - Spotlight (5 weeks; peak #2)
10 5 The Psychedelic Furs - You'll Be Mine (3 weeks; peak #5)
11 18 I Break Horses - Death Engine (7 weeks; PEAK)
I think this might be the "Lonestar - Amazed" of my chart.
12 8 Lizzy Farrall - Addict (10 weeks; peak #4)
13 NE Sian - Electricity
Hard techno on Mau5trap label.
14 7 The Psychedelic Furs - Don't Believe (8 weeks; peak #1)
15 9 Clannad - Who Knows (Where The Time Goes?) (3 weeks; peak #9)
16 NE AKA George - Bad For You
The first professional promo vid directly inspired by coronavirus? (GLC's cheapo doesn't count)
17 10 Selena Gomez - Rare (11 weeks; peak #1)
18 NE Carlie Hanson - Daze Inn
More accidental appropriateness!
19 12 Ren Harvieu - Strange Thing (3 weeks; peak #12)
20 11 Taylor Swift - The Man (8 weeks; peak #4)
21 13 Marina - About Love (8 weeks; peak #3)
22 14 Best Coast - Different Light (8 weeks; peak #9)
23 NE Echosmith - Love You Better
Yet another video!
24 RE Gabrielle Aplin - My Mistake (5 weeks; peak #18)
New version of the song complete with video.
25 17 Echosmith - Stuck (8 weeks; peak #11)
26 NE Lizzy Farrall - Gas Lighting
27 16 Lady Gaga - Stupid Love (5 weeks; peak #8)
28 NE Maya Hawke - By Myself
Stranger Things star and daughter of Uma and Ethan makes her chart debut.
29 20 Ren Harvieu - Yes Please (11 weeks; peak #2)
30 28 I Break Horses - Neon Lights (2 weeks; peak #28)
31 19 Polly Scattergood - Red (7 weeks; peak #8)
32 NE Riz Ahmed - The Breakup (Shikwa)
33 NE The Weekend - In Your Eyes
Beats Blinding Lights by 2 places. I think the warning on the video may be tongue-in-cheek.
34 NE Pound Shop Boys - Coronation Street
Pound Shop Boys are Ricardo Autobahn (Cuban Boys / Daz Sampson) and Phil Fletcher (guy behind Hacker T Dog on kids TV). This is the Corrie theme with "It's (not) Grim Up North" type vocals by Phil. More from Ricardo on albums...
35 NE Winona Oak - Another Story
36 21 Mister The Kid and Primo - Possession (4 weeks; peak #14)
37 24 Lizzy Farrall - Knocked For Six (6 weeks; peak #24)

42 15 Natalia Gordienko - Prison (4 weeks; peak #10)
43 27 Polly Scattergood - After You (3 weeks; peak #21)
44 29 Keep Shelly In Athens - Horizon's Glow / Patission Street (2 weeks; peak #29)
45 32 Millie Turner - Jungle (4 weeks; peak #24)
46 30 Korn - Can You Hear Me? (7 weeks; peak #18)

First grime track i've charted for a while - 2 veterans of course here.
49 36 Maddie Medley - Buzz (4 weeks; peak #28)
50 NE Rita Ora - How To Be Lonely
I wasn't going to chart this but the video is so insane i had to!
