he\u00a0tends to come across as somebody devoted to faithfully replicating other genres rather than\u00a0having anything much of his own &#8211; but this is one of his better tracks, I guess. \u00a0It&#8217;s still completely generic funk\/R&amp;B, but it doesn&#8217;t have quite the same museum\u00a0copy feel that I get from a lot of his work.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s pointless making too much of a first week chart place these days, and this\u00a0obviously has a decent shot of going higher. \u00a0Mars has five\u00a0UK number 1s to his credit, but one of those was 2014&#8217;s &#8220;Uptown Funk&#8221;, which was principally a Mark Ronson track. \u00a0The others were &#8220;Nothing&#8217; On You&#8221;, &#8220;Just the Way You Are (Amazing)&#8221;,\u00a0&#8220;Grenade&#8221; and &#8220;The Lazy Song&#8221;, all crammed into 2010-11, so it&#8217;s been a while. \u00a0But that&#8217;s bad luck more than anything else; the last album had two number 2 singles.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s run quickly through the climbers in the rest of the chart&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/eC-F_VZ2T1c\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>13. \u00a0Zara Larsson &#8211;

by Green Day<\/strong> at 1. \u00a0Around since 1994. \u00a0This is their third number 1 album &#8211; the others were &#8220;American Idiot&#8221; in 2004, and &#8220;21st Century Breakdown&#8221; in 2009. \u00a0Single: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/wvu2-xQUNQI\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Bang Bang&#8221;<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;In The Now&#8221; by Barry Gibb<\/strong> at 2. \u00a0Strangely,\u00a0Barry Gibb has recorded four solo albums, but only two of them were ever release. \u00a0This is one; the other was &#8220;Now Voyager&#8221;, which failed to chart in 1984. \u00a0It&#8217;s the first new Bee Gees-related album in\u00a0ages, though, which probably explains the\u00a0chart position. \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/kzwlig6qU-o\" target=\"_blank\">Title track.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;The Last Hero&#8221;

though only just, with <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/OXWrjWDQh7Q\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Wherever I Go&#8221;<\/a> getting to 29 back in June. \u00a0I suspect this might be the point where they transition into being an albums act.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Keepin&#8217;\u00a0The Horse Between Me And The Ground&#8221;

&#8211; they haven&#8217;t even made the album\u00a0chart since 2002, when the follow-up scraped to 39. \u00a0Single: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/waixG1Dhr3w\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Fake My Own Death&#8221;<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;A Place For Us To Dream&#8221;
