• It's different and the same, this old chart from 2014

    From Chris Brown@21:1/5 to All on Sun Feb 14 11:46:08 2021
    Ha, for once I've got a vaguely romantic Number One for Valentine's Day
    Yep, it's seven years ago now, although some of these songs seem weirdly distant (not counting the few that actually are older of course) a
    couple of cases with "rival" versions of the same song.

    Coincidentally one song from the chart is in this odd BBC news article
    about Spotify hackers:
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-56026200

    Speaking of Spotify, there's only one track that I couldn't find on
    there at all, though there's another where I've used an alternative
    version because the original seems to have been withdrawn (understandably) https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2QfsesQE24YiVNfWd3rImf?si=UYsTQvnkRAO4HlP4XcoiRA

    Grin.

    On a side-note, there weren't as many rap tracks in the chart as I
    expected, definitely more of a bias to dance and RnB.

    And here's my usual versions update:

    19. (15) Ellie Goulding How Long Will I Love You [cover of the Waterboys
    song]
    20. (20) Idina Menzel Let It Go [also recorded by Demi Lovato]
    24. (57) DJ Stay The Night Stay The Night [pre-release cover of the hit
    by Zedd]
    32. (33) Avicii Wake Me Up [other charting versions by Red Hot Chilli
    Pipers, Aloe Blacc and some people for charity]
    37. (29) Bastille Of The Night [medley of 'Rhythm Is A Dancer' and 'Rhythm Of The Night']

    42. (46) Demi Lovato Let It Go [also recorded by Idina Menzel]
    54. (NE) Red Hot Chilli Pipers Wake Me Up [other charting versions by
    Avicii, Aloe Blacc and some people for charity]
    61. (56) Robin Thicke ft TI & Pharrell Blurred Lines [adjudged to
    contain elements of 'Got To Give It Up']
    66. (75) Idina Menzel ft Kristen Bell For The First Time In Forever
    [includes a reprise of 'Let It Go']
    69. (69) Miley Cyrus Wrecking Ball [Top 100-charting version by Alonzo
    Holt & James Arthur]
    76. (65) Lily Allen Somewhere Only We Know [cover of the Keane hit]
    80. (73) Breach ft Andreya Triana Everything You Never Had (We had It All) [samples 'Think (About It)' by Lynn Collins, which is the second
    week in a row that's come up]
    85. (58) Macklemore & Ryan Lewis ft Mary Lambert Same Love [samples Lambert's solo hit 'She Keeps Me Warm']
    100.(83) BlackStreet ft Dr Dre No Diggity [samples 'Grandma's Hands' by
    Bill Withers]
