[Mike(y) W]

Is it very foolish for a 51 year old man to be weeping happy tears?!?

 

[Alias #23]

[Iguana]

I think the Official Charts webpage has CRASHED?!

BBC News - Kate Bush is number one, thanks to Stranger Things

Kate Bush is number one, thanks to Stranger Things

Running Up That Hill, released in 1985, tops the UK singles chart after featuring in the TV show.

By landing at Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart, Kate Bush achieves three all-time Official Chart records simultaneously:

Kate boasts the longest-ever gap between Number 1 singles in Official Chart history. With 44 years between her 1978 chart topper Wuthering Heights and 2022’s Running Up That Hill, she beats Tom Jones’s 42-year gap between Green Green Grass of Home and charity single (Barry) Islands in the Stream. See the full list of longest gaps between Number 1 singles here.

Moreover, Kate now claims the record of longest time taken for a single to reach Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart. Running Up That Hill first entered the chart in August 1985 and now hits the top spot 37 years later. The record was previously held by Wham!, who saw Last Christmas top the Official Singles Chart 36 years after its release.

If that’s not enough record-smashing for one week, Kate today also becomes the oldest female artist ever to score a Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart. At 63 years and 11 months, she replaces Cher, who was 52 when Believe topped the Official Singles Chart in 1998. Kate now places fifth on the list of oldest artists to score a UK Number 1 single.

Are they both on SCR this week or did Harry get bumped down?

 

[ManicKangaroo]

He's still on ACR, he actually increased this week so has avoided ACR for at least 3 more weeks

Message from Kate

"I’m overwhelmed by the scale of affection and support the song is receiving and it’s all happening really fast, as if it’s being driven along by a kind of elemental force.

I have to admit I feel really moved by it all.
Thank you so very much for making the song a No 1 in such an unexpected way.
Kate"

Thank God for that, I was genuinely worried for some of you if she hadn't made it.
