41 | Marina & The Diamonds - I Am Not A Robot

 

Not going to do much commentary until maybe the top 10, it may be that the higher entry from Marina is more freshly in my mind that it beats this but oh well. This group has a lot of acts with their sole entries, Coldplay, Jamie T, Thrice, Doves, Manchester Orchestra.

Thanks for the comment Richmond. I think you actually like every one you've heard so far. :D

 

You helped Questing get so high, I'm pretty happy with my list.

Bad Romance :wub: agree that it's GaGa's best track by a mile...I've had to postpone doing my end of year chart because I know I've got to overhaul the top five thanks to that song :drama:

Muse's only entry. Song from FlashForward. The Horrors suprisingly brilliant comeback track. Vampire Weekend's first single from new album. Second entries for Animal Collective and Kong. Drums with brilliance. Dan Deacon with a bit of a cheat as it wasn't a single, he needed to be in a chart of some sort though.

Doves, The Horrors, Jamie T, Animal Collective, Coldplay and Marina are all great. Fantastic start.

All of these are good songs. Empire State of Mind has grown on me so much recently, it's epic.'Remedy' and 'Farewell to the Fairground' are other personal favourites. I like 'Struck Dumb' but it's not hit me like a lot of their singles do. I'm sure it will though...

Bloc Party's throwback to the late 80s, early 90s. Maximo's grower. Under-rated Killers. GaGa's best track by some distance. Frank. Marina's highest entry.

 

I'm not so fussed with this one. Ellie, GaGa, Marina and xx are all good. I found the Killers, Maximo Park and Bloc Party singles pretty underwhelming though.

Will comment when you finish the list but 'Brother Sport' is my favourite so far. :D
