Lewis Capaldi

This week in number ones, Ed Sheeran reappears to haunt the UK Charts and we revisit when The Police were kings of the music world.

‘Don’t Stand So Close to Me’ even had an afterlife on the charts, thanks to Dire Straits. While they were a well-known band before ‘Don’t Stand So Close to Me’, The Police officially ascended to pop star juggernauts after the song’s release. “To be frank, it was right in our market,” Sting claimed in 1993, explaining that Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita was the reference point for ‘Don’t Stand So Close to Me’. The fusion of pop and punk gave The Police their first number one in the UK with 1979’s ‘Walking on the Moon’. The punk and reggae elements were minimised on what became the band’s biggest UK hit, ‘Don’t Stand So Close to Me’. For ‘Don’t Stand So Close to Me’, that meant singing about an inappropriate relationship between a grammar school teacher and one of his students. Steve Lacy is still at number one with ‘Bad Habit’, and in a recent move, Sam Smith and Kim Petras leapfrog their way up to number two with ‘Unholy’. Eliza Rose’s ‘B.O.T.A.’, a song that was also a former number one, has yet even to make a single appearance on the Hot 100. The man can sing and write a catchy song, and he seems to be one of the less annoying pop stars in the world right now. Even then, the song doesn’t even attempt to shoehorn a reference to Pikachu or Charizard anywhere in it. Last week, we investigated the quiet groundbreaking nature of the Sam Smith/Kim Petras collaboration ‘Unholy’, gave a big congratulations to Steve Lacy on his first US number one, and revisited a time when Mark Wahlberg was simply a hunky pop-rap star with the Funky Bunch and the number one single ‘Good Vibrations’. This week, Ed Sheeran pairs up with Pokemon on another lifeless single; we investigate the differences between the US and UK Charts and revisit when The Police were on top of the world as Britain’s biggest rock band.
