It&#8217;s been three years since their last hit, but they didn&#8217;t release anything during that period. By 2018 their singles were performing erratically, but they still got two records into the top ten. This comeback single is&#8230; certainly bouncy, I&#8217;ll give it that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>39.

That&#8217;s prompted by the release of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BS3HgiHPYcs\">a remix which features a ridiculous seven guests<\/a>. It&#8217;s not the lead version, though, so none of them get a chart credit. Number 4 is Russ&#8217;s highest position under any of his various names, the previous best being 7 for &#8220;Keisha and Becky&#8221;. Tion Wayne&#8217;s previous best was 6 as a guest on KSI&#8217;s &#8220;Houdini&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Kiss Me More&#8221; by Doja Cat featuring SZA<\/strong> climbs 9-6.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Ferrari Horses&#8221; by D-Block Europe &amp; Raye<\/strong> climbs 17-14. It&#8217;s now their second-highest placing single &#8211; their highest, &#8220;UFO&#8221;, got to number 11, and that was with the benefit of Aitch as a guest star. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_4cA38jpvp8\">It does finally have a lyric video.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Rasputin&#8221; by Majestic &amp; Boney M\u00a0<\/strong>climbs 27-21.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Believe Me&#8221; by Navos<\/strong> climbs 26-23.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Didn&#8217;t Know&#8221; by Tom Zanetti<\/strong> climbs 31-24.

The others were &#8220;Delilah&#8221; in 1968, a greatest hits album from 1975, and his 1999 collaborations album &#8220;Reload&#8221;. He turns 81 in June, and this sets a new record for the oldest man to have a number 1 album. Technically, the oldest artist to have a number 1 album is Vera Lynn, who was 92 when her greatest hits album reached number 1 in 2009 &#8211; but I\u00a0<em>think<\/em> Tom Jones has the record for the oldest artist to reach number 1 with an album of newly recorded material.<\/p>\n<p><strong>11.

The original album is under 40 minutes long. This Super Deluxe Edition covers 5 CDs and contains 112 tracks, of which 48 are previously unreleased. On its original release, the album peaked at number 3 in January 1968 (and again a month later). The twelve albums that outsold it in its first peak week include &#8220;Sgt Pepper&#8217;s Lonely Hearts Club Band&#8221;, &#8220;Their Satanic Majesties Request&#8221;, &#8220;Pisces Aquarius Capricorn and Jones&#8221; and, um, the <em>Sound of Music<\/em> soundtrack and &#8220;Val Doonican Rocks But Gently.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>24.

This ska album was The Selecter&#8217;s only top 40 hit, though that&#8217;s largely because the original line-up split soon after. It reached number 5 in 1980.<\/p>\n<p><strong>29.

So number 29 isn&#8217;t bad at all.<\/p>\n<p><strong>34. Kaleo &#8211; &#8220;Surface Sounds&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6Vs6tExC-Go\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Their third album, and the second to chart in the UK (the other one got to 27). Don&#8217;t worry, they&#8217;re from Iceland. They didn&#8217;t go all the way there in the middle of a pandemic just to stand in front of a volcanic eruption.<\/p>\n<p><strong>36. Field Music &#8211; &#8220;Flat White Moon&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EhJQccb1GnU\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>And finally, Field Music get back to the top 40 after their previous album surprisingly stalled at 84. (It may have been misconstrued as a side project, given its roots in a collaboration with the Imperial War Museum.)
