One surprise actually: Faithless' Insomnia is down from #10 to #94! ohmy.gif

I know Maxi's passing probably gave it a boost last year, but in 2022 it was still at #29.

I sense a very good year for Nothing But Thieves.. I reckon they'll have 2 songs in the Top 10. 'Real Love Song' has already appeared at #49, up from #56 last year.

Nice to see two NEs for NBT and The Rolling STones. Also happy to have helped ‘Enjoy The Silence’ have a new entry!

Just noticed that there’s no Coldplay. I’m pretty sure they’ve been included in previous years.

Radio X fans don't seem to like them, based on the Instagram comments whenever they're mentioned - unfortunately!
