Jimmy Buffett dead.

Summer-Update (July and August): Again only 6 hits in total, but very big names with Kundera, Bennett, Alagiah and Barker.

Al-Fayed's death now means a full 10 hits have occurred since Jimmy Carter started receiving hospice care.

Understandable why "Give It to Me" left, but that man knew his way around a beat in the 2000s. The insane, glorious outro of "Maneater", which the radio didn't play:

The Old Lady fixed it better @ladyfiona!

Updated for Bob Barker. If there are two more hits in the next fortnight we could have the earliest ever 13th Hit In 2003 the list was going great guns and then ran out of steam in early September. However with the talent left on the current list we could be rivalling 2020

9/2/2023 65 Tears For Fears — Everybody Wants To Rule The World 62 A-Ha — Take On Me +4 56 Duran Duran — A View To A Kill 46 Queen — Radio Ga Ga +4 44 Prince — 1999 / Little Red Corvette 25 Cyndi Lauper — Girls Just Want To Have Fun 8 Bonnie Tyler — Holding Out For A Hero -6 Still a good song, but I must admit I enjoy the Jennifer Saunders version more:

Last picked on the DDP in 2015.

Perennial ALS sufferer and graffiti artist (who was already unable to move at all, excluding his famous eyes, and permanently on ventilator in 2009) Tony Quan aka. Tempt One, dead at 54.

2nd September 65 Tears For Fears — Everybody Wants To Rule The World 58 A-Ha — Take On Me 56 Duran Duran — A View To A Kill 44 Prince — 1999 / Little Red Corvette 42 Queen — Radio Ga Ga 25 Cyndi Lauper — Girls Just Want To Have Fun -5 14 Bonnie Tyler — Holding Out For A Hero +4 06 The Weather Girls — It’s Raining Men -1

Have a Great day everyone! @RoverAndOut The Old Lady fixed it better @ladyfiona!

Nick Anderton cancer-free: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/66684366 I get the feeling though that there's going to be a deadly relapse not too far in the future.

Keanu Reeves is 59.

https://the110club.com/rafael-chinchilla-1912-2023-t29865.html#p40168394 Rafael Chinchilla oldest man in El Salvador is dead at 110 Despite his name he was a human and not a chinchilla as one would think Kathleen Shaw of UK also dead at 110 earlier this month (check oldest in Britain site)

I was sure a hit would come soon. Didn''t expect it to be Al Fayed though. I sense an interesting month of september : I feel like a few of the immortals from the immortals thread will finally succumb. For the official list, I sense two more hits in september : one lingerer (whom I suspect could be Woodward or Starmer Smith, maybe the two of them ?) and a forgotten old chap (Ethel Kennedy, Sandy Gall, Cleo Laine or Stanley Baxter ?). For october : Carter's time. I sense some 18 hits in total but I'd be surprised if we equal 2020. I feel a quite slow month of november and a busier last month with some interesting news and deaths (McGowan, Linda Nolan, Kissinger would be all quite at risk imo).

Mohamed Al-Fayed is a hit for @Summer in Transylvania. Congratulations. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/breaking-mohamed-al-fayed-dies-30844832 next round: 1923 Yuriko, Princess Mikasa / Mike Nussbaum 1924 Joyce Randolph / Charlie Munger 1925 Ruth Slenczynska / David Graham 1926 Gudrun Ure / Shecky Greene 1927 Barbara Rush / William Smithers 1928 Line Renaud / Mangosuthu Buthelezi 1929 Joan Plowright / Len Deighton 1930 Sandra Day O'Connor / Thomas Patten Stafford 1931 Alice Munro / Edwin Meese III 1932 Elaine May / Dabney Coleman

I have to disagree, his prolific acting career easily eclipses his novelty records. He's versatile but particularly effective in villainous roles. Stand-outs for me include an utter snake of a doctor in Bodies, and the escaped psychopathic murderer in the rarely shown Inspector Morse episode, The Day of the Devil.

It's our own damn fault.

@ladyfiona Points for @The Old Crem as Rebecca Adlington announces she is pregnant.
