It's different and the same, this old chart from 2014

[Chris Brown]

Ha, for once I've got a vaguely romantic Number One for Valentine's Day
Yep, it's seven years ago now, although some of these songs seem weirdly
distant (not counting the few that actually are older of course) a
couple of cases with "rival" versions of the same song.

Coincidentally one song from the chart is in this odd BBC news article
about Spotify hackers:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-56026200

Speaking of Spotify, there's only one track that I couldn't find on
there at all, though there's another where I've used an alternative
version because the original seems to have been withdrawn (understandably)

On a side-note, there weren't as many rap tracks in the chart as I
expected, definitely more of a bias to dance and RnB.

And here's my usual versions update:

19. (15) Ellie Goulding How Long Will I Love You [cover of the Waterboys
song]
20. (20) Idina Menzel Let It Go [also recorded by Demi Lovato]
24. (57) DJ Stay The Night Stay The Night [pre-release cover of the hit
by Zedd]
32. (33) Avicii Wake Me Up [other charting versions by Red Hot Chilli
Pipers, Aloe Blacc and some people for charity]
37. (29) Bastille Of The Night [medley of 'Rhythm Is A Dancer' and
'Rhythm Of The Night']

42. (46) Demi Lovato Let It Go [also recorded by Idina Menzel]
54. (NE) Red Hot Chilli Pipers Wake Me Up [other charting versions by
Avicii, Aloe Blacc and some people for charity]
61. (56) Robin Thicke ft TI & Pharrell Blurred Lines [adjudged to
contain elements of 'Got To Give It Up']
66. (75) Idina Menzel ft Kristen Bell For The First Time In Forever
[includes a reprise of 'Let It Go']
69. (69) Miley Cyrus Wrecking Ball [Top 100-charting version by Alonzo
Holt & James Arthur]
