CZB's Chart, Month 405 (May) - 8 new breakers, 4 new hits !

[CZB]

Although she has been having hits for many years now - indeed, since the second half of the 1980s - the last time Madonna had the Chartbuster was almost a decade ago

And that's the five-year period that I've been revisiting today - although Madonna only had two hits in my chart from those years, "Live To Tell" and "Dear Jessie", and neither of those did well enough to reach my top hundred of 1985 to 1989. This was probably the period of my life in which I had the least opportunity to listen to music - as I was in the closing stages of my degree course at the beginning of it, then spending the majority of my years in (more than) full time work. However, with the help of radio cassette recorders and timer-switches, I was regularly tuning in for the Europarade and for several of its component charts - but, on the evidence of this collection, I was enjoying the hits in those from the Netherlands, Germany, Austria and Ireland to a much greater extent than the UK top forty!

Four hundred and seventy-two tracks from this period entered my monthly chart - several of them not until the following decade, or even more recently than that - and twenty-six reached number one. Two of those didn't do well enough to reach the top hundred - indeed, both fell quite a long way short - but I also included them in today's YouTube voyage. Initially I suspected that there may be up to a dozen tracks that wouldn't be available - but I was surprised and delighted to find that several of them have been uploaded at some point since I featured these years individually. Those include two medleys from North Korean princess Kimera - running to six and a half, and twelve and a quarter minutes respectively - and a rarity from Edelweiss, but only in a version running to almost seven minutes!

Just six of my favourites of these five years remain too obscure to be on YouTube - or, I suspect, anywhere else on the internet....one track each from Foster and Allen, The Fureys and Davey Arthur, Berdien Stenberg and Tol and Tol, all also represented elsewhere - and, regrettably, both parts of Mayflower's "Bumm Bumm, the German Hit Connection" ! However, despite their absence, there are so many long tracks, and impressive extended versions available (especially at the top end) that I spread them out over seven hours instead of the usual six. 1988 seems to have fared significantly more poorly than the other years, taking just eleven positions in the chart - with the two earliest years each filling more than twice as many slots. And, while many Eurovision Song Contest competitors are here, only four of them are performing their entries. But which of those ends up right at the top? Let's find out......

WOW, do you have all retro charts on your PC?

Oh yes - and several backup copies, on memory sticks / disks / printed! As with the spreadsheets of the singles charts of the countries I have followed for so many years, I'm paranoid about losing data that isn't properly backed up......




I just spotted a couple of things I hadn't noticed about my 1985-1989 chart:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~-~~~~~~~~~~~
98 06 07 1987 22 HOT GIRL Sabrina
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That link is almost certainly wrong, as the video I played this week was "Boys (Summertime Love}", not its less well-known follow-up! It's hard to imagine what could have made me make that mistake.....

My top ten remained very static in May - but it changes considerably in June, with six of last month’s top tracks no longer there. And the other four are also among a total of twenty-three fallers - including Wiegel, Meirmans and Snitker, who topple from the top to number three with “Nova Zembla”. Replacing them, with a 107-place climb to become the highest of seven new entries and my 194th number one is the song that also reached number one in the UK just this week, after already being a number one in the USA and elsewhere - “We Are Young”, by Fun featuring Janelle Monae. Congratulations to them - but can that stay at the top for a second month? Not many hits have managed this recently - and, indeed, there are currently seven former number ones dropping down the top forty. They include Agnes Obel with “Just So” - the fastest faller this time, taking a fourteen-place dive to number 33 - and “Collide” / “Fade Into Darkness” / “Penguin”, one place above her at 32 for Tim Bergling. However, he has now reached the top ten with all four of his hits to date - as “Blessed” (credited to “Tom Hangs and Shermanology”) races up sixteen places to number eight, and “Levels” (credited to “Avicii”) climbs from 13 to number four. Caro Emerald also has two big movers this time - her latest single “Dr Wanna Do” is up ten places at 26, while “You Don’t Love Me” becomes the fourth top ten hit from the same album, zooming up eighteen places to number 10. Six other climbers include a second top ten hit for Sia with “Wild Ones“, as her collaboration with Flo Rida advances eight places to number nine - but this month’s Rapid Riser is a former Chartbuster. Although it has not enjoyed the singles chart success of any of its predecessors, “Better Than A Dream” now gives Katie Melua her highest ever placing on my chart - last month’s number 22 is this month’s number two!

Most of this month’s new entries are in the bottom half of my top forty - including yet another success for Madonna. “Girl Gone Wild” has performed extremely poorly in the UK chart and elsewhere, but it debuts at number 25 in my chart. Six places lower is the third hit for Emma Hewitt - having previously reached number one and number two respectively with “Waiting” and “Disarm Yourself”, both with Dash Berlin, her solo single “Colours” is in at 31. Sophie Ellis-Bextor has also previously had a number one and a number two success in my top forty - with “Heartbreak (Make Me A Dancer)” and “Bittersweet” - followed by a number five, “Not Giving Up On Love”. Her fourth success, and the fifth for Bob Sinclar, is.....er, “Rock with You”, at 35 - three spots ahead of “Dance Again”, the fifth hit for Jennifer Lopez, and her second with Pitbull. That leaves only two acts arriving in my top forty for the first time ever - Triggerfinger just manage to sneak in at 40 with their version of the Lykke Li hit “I Follow Rivers”, while Joan Franka had a very disappointing result at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest, failing by a long way to reach the final with “You And Me”. But that former Chartbuster is the second highest new entry, crashing in at number 15. No other submission from the 2012 contest has reached the breakers - yet - but a former contestant is back there with a recent reworking of her entry from twenty-five years ago - Liliane Saint-Pierre and “Soldiers Of Love”. A former breaker from Train, “Hey, Soul Sister”, has also returned, following its recent reappearance in the UK charts - and no less than five former top forty hits are listed again, after the deaths this month of their performers. Donna Summer, who passed away aged 63, had four successes in my chart, all of which are back - “I Will Go With You”, “I Don’t Wanna Get Hurt”, “This Time I Know It’s For Real” and “I Feel Love”. And Robin Gibb, who was taken at the age of 62, had only one as a solo artist - “Juliet”, which inexplicably failed to chart in the UK, despite being a major hit elsewhere. Returning to an extremely high position in the breakers, this seems very likely to re-enter my top forty next month.

The frustrating decline in availability of physical product - vinyl singles, CD singles and even CD albums or compilations - continues to mean that some new releases that might otherwise have been there have to be denied places in my top forty breakers. However, there are still eight new potential future hits this month.- and most of those are by acts who have never impressed me before! Sebastian Ingrosso and Alesso featuring Ryan Tedder look likely to enter the UK chart this week with “Calling (Lose My Mind)” while Carly Rae Jepsen and Far East Movement featuring Justin Bieber are both already there with “Call Me Maybe” and “Live My Life” respectively. Todd Terje is from Norway, and could be on the way to my top forty with “Inspector Norse” - while the second most impressive new breaker this time is for an Edinburgh quartet, Django Django. “Default” has not charted in their homeland yet, but is doing better in other countries. The other three new breakers involve artists who previously reached my top forty with recordings made between 2005 and 2009. From Canada, Nelly Furtado peaked at number five with “All Good Things (Come To An End)”, and could double her tally of hits with her collaboration with K’Naan, “Is Anybody Out There”. Moscow-born Regina Spektor reached number ten with “On The Radio“ and number 11 with “Samson” - she could now have her third hit with “Don’t Leave Me (Ne Me Quittez Pas)”. However, a track that is currently spending a third week at number three in Ireland is now guaranteed a place in my July 2012 top forty. It‘s the first Chartbuster, and will become the third hit, for a 26-year old New Wave / indie-pop singer-songwriter and poet from Wales. Her two previous top ten entries in my chart currently stand side by side in my all-time top thousand, at 909 and 910 - “I Am Not A Robot” and “Hollywood”, which peaked at number six and number seven respectively. Both, however, missed the top ten in the UK - as did her current hit! My Record of the Month for June 2012 is Marina and the Diamonds - “Primadonna”.

CZB'S TOP FORTY ------------------- Month 394 ------------------- JUNE 2012
25 ---- 01 GIRL GONE WILD Madonna

TOP 40 BREAKERS:
01 [ 00 ] PRIMADONNA Marina and the Diamonds [Chartbuster] ##

After 30 years Madonna still going wild...
and having a bit of her name in the #1 chartbreaker...

I hadn't spotted that! - I'll have to be careful adding up the total of Madonna hits. Once before, I almost got it wrong by adding in SHE'S MADONNA - Robbie Williams / Pet Shop Boys.....

I'm just beginning to make preparations for the mid-month five-year top 100 - which this time will actually include that track, plus at least a couple of Madonna hits!

Great to see "We Are Young" entering at number one, it's one of the best songs of the year

For once, the music-buying public across the continent / world seem to agree!

[CZB]

The other three new breakers involve artists who previously reached my top forty with recordings made between 2005 and 2009.

And that's the featured five-year period I have been revisiting today - only a few short steps back in time, and a journey I was a little reluctant to undertake while a 2009 release was still in my current chart! That's "Just So" by Agnes Obel - although it's already looking likely that it will drop out of the my forty this coming month, in which case it would therefore have already reached its final points total. And, despite getting to number one quite recently, it finishes some way below my top hundred of 2005-2009 - as do two other number ones from those years!

However, with quite a lot of relatively short songs in this countdown, I was also able to fit those three chart-toppers into today's six-hour YouTube voyage. Compared to some of the previous five-year charts I have posted, this one is quite well-balanced - with fifteen tracks from 2005, twenty-one each from 2007 and 2008, and seventeen from 2009. 2006 has a clear lead, however, taking twenty-six positions in the top hundred - and its domination over the other years is much greater in the top ten. While neither my overall favourites of 2008 nor 2009 are there, five tracks appear from 2006! Could one of those be my overall top single of these five years? Let's find out.....

The seventh chart of 2012 has the sixth new number one so far this year, and the 195th in total. It’s the first for the 27-year-old Georgia-born Katie Melua, as the former Chartbuster “Better Than A Dream” switches positions with "We Are Young" and climbs one place to the top. Her first appearance in my top forty, with “The Closest Thing To Crazy”, was exactly one hundred months ago - but there have been several other acts that have taken longer to achieve their first number one. Top of that list are BZN, who originally had several hits in the first half of the 1980s, but didn’t get to number one until June 2007 with their final single “Goodbye” - and in second place is the late Malcolm McLaren, who topped my chart with “House Of The Blue Danube” more than fourteen years after his debut with “Buffalo Gals”. One of his other hits re-entered my top forty following his death - and the same is now true of Robin Gibb. The recently-deceased former Bee Gee originally peaked at number 19 with “Juliet” - which returns at number 27 this month, only the fifth re-entry this century.

The highest of four new entries this time is a debut hit for a Scottish neo-psychedelic art-rock band, consisting of David Maclean, Vincent Neff, Jimmy Dixon and Tommy Grace - “Default” crashes straight in at number eight for Django Django. From Wales, seven places lower, it's the third hit for Marina and the Diamonds - “Primadonna”, which has now spent nine weeks inside the top ten in Ireland, despite getting no higher than number 11 in the UK. Not many Russian-born artists have ever featured in my chart - but Regina Spektor now makes a third appearance, with “Don’t Leave Me (Ne Me Quittez Pas)” at 35. And Katie Melua’s tenth breaker becomes her tenth hit - a success rate that very few others have beaten - as the album track “The Bit That I Don’t Get” arrives at 31, while almost everything else at the bottom end of the top forty is moving downwards. A total of twenty-one tracks sliding include the fastest faller and former Chartbuster “Born To Die”, diving fifteen places to 33 for Lana Del Rey, and the longest laster “Titanium”, the former number one from David Guetta featuring Sia, down six at 36. But Sia is also among fourteen climbers this month, as her collaboration with Flo Rida advances a further three places to number six - and July’s Rapid Riser is also a joint effort. Bob Sinclar and Sophie Ellis-Bextor race up seventeen places to number 18 with, er.....“Rock With You”.

Following their recent returns to the charts of the UK and continental Europe respectively, Lady Antebellum and Guru Josh reappear in the top forty breakers with “Need You Now” and “Infinity” - and there are eight brand new potential future hits. Six of the artists involved have impressed me before - some of them many times over! Amy MacDonald has had six hits out of eight breakers - the biggest being “Mr Rock And Roll”, which peaked at number six - and “Slow It Down” could be the next. Three of Kylie Minogue’s ten top ten successes peaked at number four - and “Timebomb” might soon be on the way there. The Scissor Sisters have a new breaker with “Only The Horses” - and were unlucky not to reach number one in my chart with “I Don’t Feel Like Dancing”, which spent five months as runner-up to the animated dancing donkey Holly Dolly. But no such obstacles got in the way of Avicii, Martin Solveig and Fun with “Penguin“, “Hello” and “We Are Young” - and their latest bids to double their tally of number ones are with “Silhouettes”, “The Night Out” and “Some Nights”. Meanwhile, the two strongest new breakers are somewhat light on lyrics. Netsky - Belgian drum and bass producer Boris Daenan - could make a chart debut with “Give And Take”, a recent single from newly-released album “Netsky 2”. However, guaranteed a place there in August is a track that samples something called “Nash Sosed” by the now 74-year-old Russian singer and actress Edita Piekha, and has already reached the top three in the Netherlands. It’s now beginning to spread towards the charts of other countries in continental Europe, and (I know I’ve said this about other tracks before, and have probably been wrong more often than not!) perhaps it may even reach the UK at some point? It actually seems to be, under a somewhat less elegant name, the British dance producers who had hits as Ultrabeat - including “Feelin’ Fine”, which went to number 14 in my top forty - and they could well be about to improve on that with this new Chartbuster. My Record of the Month for July 2012 is “Da Bop”, by W T F !

Glad to see Lady Gaga's "Marry the Night".

[andrej]

Nice to see Default by Django Django entered so high in your Chart. Also glad to find Regina Spektor as a new entry this week. She has made a really great video for "Don't Leave Me"!

Surprised to see Primadonna entering now, but glad it's has, it's a great song.

@CZB: How did you do your "CZB'S TOP 100 OF 2005 - 2009"?

[CZB]

@CZB: How did you do your "CZB'S TOP 100 OF 2005 - 2009"?

My all-time chart is based on points scored in each monthly top forty - although the points vary from month to month, depending on the quality of the current hits! The number forty always gets one point, while the number one can score as many as fifty points - but usually it's much less, with many tied scores within the chart. This month, Katie Melua has sixteen points.....last month, at number two, she had eighteen points! This explains why some lower-peaking hits in higher-scoring months can seem unusually high-ranking in the yearly and five-yearly charts.

The yearly and five-yearly charts (for which there is a full index in the first post of this thread!) are extracted from that all-time chart (in which, naturally, current hits are gradually moving upwards as they still score points, and past hits slide very slowly downwards as they are overtaken) based on the year of earliest release, no matter how long after that they may have actually reached my monthly charts. "Stereo Love", for example, was the number one of 2009, as it was first released in some countries then, although it didn't get to the UK until 2010.
