Chart on Wednesdays from now on.

There's increasing indie and rock domination not only in the top ten but across the chart, with Foals providing possibly the heaviest chart-topper yet and bagging their first-ever #1 in the process after scoring three top ten hits earlier this year. The 1975 enjoy the second-highest new entry of the week with their fieriest single yet, with Clairo, Self Esteem, Sleater-Kinney and Haim also now looking like genuine contenders for the next #1. Ritual and Never Be Alone (actually vastly superior to Thing For You in my book) finally find their way into the chart after bubbling under for several weeks, and there's an epic drop out of the Top 40 for Rosalía, who will surely return soon enough. Still no sign of Edward Christopher Sheeran, MBE. Meanwhile, Two Door Cinema Club prop up the Top 40 with new single Once, which means half of False Alarm has now had chart representation.

Solardo & Eli Brown soar 28 places to cement their place in the top ten, and there's also a sizeable leap for log cabin veteran Bon Iver. However, there are few lengthy chart runs currently. This could be due to the fact that I am new removing songs from my new music playlist once they enter the Top 40 but could also be because there is actually a great deal of competition around after a bit of a mid-summer lull. It's a great week for 'sales', with tracks requiring at least seven plays during the past 30 days to be considered for inclusion.

I take this way too seriously.
