I may have a watch of Heaton later (if its still avail?) .... I watched Stone Foundation's previously unseen stream of their entire show ( along with 15k+ others) filmed in Hamburg's Mojo Club exactly one year ago yesterday
It was the first time they performed their forthcoming single 'Changes' ( out June 7th) live...... spookily, Stone Foundation's current single , The Light In Us (featuring Acid Jazz artist Laville) went straight into the UK singles chart at number 2 - missing out narrowly to the Pet Shop Boys for the number 1 slot on Friday May 1st
Sound file for The Light In Us ....

apparently its THE official UK singles chart, including sales and downloads..... guessing, as we're in lockdown, a lot of 'old' faves are being (re) obtained in more contemporary formats?

Bloody hell. Long gone are the days of listening in and recording it on a Sunday night ( trying to cut out the dulcet tones of Gary Davies..) obviously.. ?

What happened to Captain (now Colonel) Tom's tune?
Answering my own question he is down to No.21 already.
However, the "Official Chart" didn't look much like the one from @Sarge .

I can't stand musical discussions where people say with complete certainty that Artist A is 'better' than Artist B!
No - one may be more to your taste than the other, and that is all you can say. For me, I prefer early Dylan to his later offerings - for others it may be the reverse. I probably listen to The Smiths (not Morrisey on his own!) more often than either. There are many many other artists who appear more regularly on my playlists than either Bob or the Smiths. Surely the joy of music is that there is something for everyone but at the same time nothing suits everyone!

given the singles charts these days bear little resemblance to the 'golden eras' of 60s/70s/80s, and some weeks as few as 5k (or less ) sales/downloads can get a chart placing, any wonder singles charts on a week to week basis bear little resemblance to the previous weeks chart placings ?What happened to Captain (now Colonel) Tom's tune?
