Elton John and Dua Lipa make it seven weeks at #1 on the ARIA Singles Chart with ‘Cold Heart (Pnau Remix)’. It surpasses the six weeks spent at #1 by John’s previous chart-topper ‘Something About The Way You Look Tonight’ / ‘Candle In The Wind’ (#1 Sept. ’97) to become his longest reign in the top spot in ARIA Charts history.

[Lucadang]

FINALLY, Cold Heart enter the Billboard Top 10 in usa at #7.

Last top10 hit in usa was Candle in the Wind 1997.

Elton John and Dua Lipa’s “Cold Heart (Pnau Remix)” roars 20-7 on the Hot 100, reaching the top 10 for the first time (and surpassing its prior No. 11 high). It drew 52.1 million in airplay audience (up 6%) and 10 million streams (up 18%) and sold 13,300 (up 53%, aided by 69-cent sale-pricing in the iTunes Store) in the tracking week, as it jumps 5-1 for its first week atop Digital Song Sales (becoming John’s first leader and Lipa’s second, after “Levitating” for a week last May).

John achieves his 28th Hot 100 top 10 and first since “Candle in the Wind”/”Something About the Way You Look Tonight” marked his ninth No. 1 in October 1997 through January 1998. As he had last appeared in the top 10 on the chart dated Jan. 31, 1998, he ends a break of 23 years, 11 months and two weeks between top 10s. While lengthy, it’s not a record: two weeks ago, The Ronettes’ wrapped a 58-year, two-month gap when “Sleigh Ride” dashed to No. 10, becoming the group’s first top 10 since “Be My Baby” in 1963. The seven longest breaks between top 10s all ended via holiday songs, and all since 2018; among nonseasonal hits (as with “Cold Heart”), Dobie Gray ranks first with a wait of 30 years, two months and a week between his original version of “Drift Away” in 1973 and Uncle Kracker’s remake, featuring Gray, in 2003.

——
John also ties Mariah Carey (atop last week’s Hot 100 with “All I Want for Christmas Is You”) and Stevie Wonder (his recent duet partner) for the seventh-most Hot 100 top 10s in the chart’s history:

Most Hot 100 Top 10s
54, Drake
38, Madonna
34, The Beatles
31, Rihanna
30, Michael Jackson
30, Taylor Swift
28, Mariah Carey
28, Elton John
28, Stevie Wonder
27, Janet Jackson

Plus, John now boasts Hot 100 top 10s in four distinct decades: the 1970s, ’80s, ’90s and 2020s. He’s the 10th act to have placed in the top 10 in at least four separate decades; Michael Jackson is the only artist to have ranked in the bracket in as many as five decades, from the ’70s through the ’10s (and that’s not including his tenure in the Jackson 5, who first hit the top 10 in the ’60s).

Hot 100 Top 10s in Four or More Decades
’70s, ’80s, ’90s, ’00s, 10s: Michael Jackson
’90s, ’00s, ’10s, ’20s: Mariah Carey
’90s, ’00s, ’10s, ’20s: Jay-Z
’70s, ’80s, ’90s, ’20s: Elton John
’50s, ’60s, ’70s, ’20s: Andy Williams
’80s, ’90s, ’00s, ’10s: Whitney Houston
’80s, ’90s, ’00s, ’10s: Madonna
’70s, ’80s, ’90s, ’00s: Aerosmith
’60s, ’70s, ’80s, ’90s: Cher
’60s, ’70s, ’80s, ’90s: Barbra Streisand

As for his span of Hot 100 top 10s, John expands it to 51 years, 11 months and three weeks, dating to his first week in the top 10 with “Your Song” (Jan. 23, 1971). The stretch is the longest among all acts not involving holiday songs, surpassing Jackson’s (42 weeks, six months and a week); a week ago, thanks to “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year,” Andy Williams’ record for the longest top 10 span overall was extended to 62 years and three months, dating to his first week in the top 10 with “Lonely Street,” on the chart dated Oct. 12, 1959.

Is the Global Mix on the album the same version as the single that was released of It's A Sin? I don't hear any difference.

This week charts (xmas day / 52 2021)

MERRY XMAS back at Number One in Uk
Christmas is over but the passion for Christmas songs is evidently not. Despite the fact that only the first day of the chart week was pre-Christmas, the second day was Christmas itself, and the last five days were post-Christmas, seasonal songs make their biggest impression ever on the chart.

We are in unchartered territory as the top 13 songs in the chart are Christmas-related, with Ed Sheeran & Elton John’s Merry Christmas resuming at the summit on consumption of 82,780 units. It is the track’s third week at No.1 in all, and means that Ed Sheeran has spent 19 weeks at No.1 in 2021 – all of them in the second half of the year. The only artist to spend longer at No.1 in a calendar year is Frankie Laine, who spent 27 weeks at the summit when the chart was in its infancy in 1953.

Elton & Ed were, of course, No.1 last week too as featured guests on LadBaby’s Sausage Rolls For Everyone, which emulates the Nottingham act’s three previous hits by absenting itself from the Top 20 immediately after its No.1 debut. Falling 1-29 (24,578 sps).
