There’s another big overhaul on this week’s chart, following a positive response to Status Quo founder, Francis Rossi, and duet partner Hannah Rickard’s new album “We Talk Too Much”. Tracks from the album, which sadly missed the top 50 this week in the UK album chart, make up a quarter of this week’s TT20.

“We Talk Too Much” is Rossi’s first new album since the death of the other face of Status Quo, Rick Parfitt, whose posthumous solo album hit the top 5 last April, and the first studio album to feature Rossi since Quo’s “Aquostic 2” in 2016, for which Rickard featured as violinist. This is how the latest team-up occurred. “We Talk Too Much” sounds like…if 80s Quo did country without the sad songs about someone’s man doing the dolly down the road’s daughter’s cousin behind her back rather than coming home for supper.

Dido’s dominance dwindles a bit this week, however she stil holds 2 spots on the chart this week, 1 of which is another track taken from the new album “Still On My Mind”. She is due to tour the world later this year.

Once again, Xenomania’s new girl group Unperfect’s debut single “Gots To Give The Girl” returns to the chart on the strength of another new batch of remixes being released, this time from the production house itself. Although the group are not quite making waves in the UK yet, they have hit Mexican radio charts and are releasing a 2nd single very soon.

At 6 and 7 are songs which sound like other big songs (but what doesn’t a lot of the time?) Rita Ora is on a 2nd song called “RIP” and this song sounds like “Tip Toe” like Jason Derulo. Daya’s “Insomnia” is like Kylie’s “Can’t Get You Out Of My Head” which is certainly no insult. Hopefully both tracks have some traction on streaming and download sites soon.

COMING SOON:

Will Young has brought out a song that sounds like a 2012 Rudimental song without the whine of Sam Smith over it.

The Lighthouse Family are back with an UPBEAT song!
