Cian'S Monthly Review: May 2012

 

It's the first monthly review of the summer and the first notable piece of information is the significant 18.464% decrease in overall plays, ending the 3 month on month increase.

 

This month sees very few new entries and plenty of artists jumping up the chart. This month's number 1 sees Marina & The Diamonds climb 27 places on the back of the new album Electra Heart. After 7 months in the chart Marina finally sees the the view from the top.

 

Climbing 18 positions to #2 The Black Keys see the outcome of there album El Camino, after only being played for the first time last month, this is a very quick surge up the chart. Ben Howard jumps back up to #3 as Every Kingdom is still getting regular plays, especially boosted this month thanks to the recently downloaded deluxe edition tracks.

 

Marcus Collins' makes it back into the chart thanks to his debut album which was also played a lot this month. The big hitters were Higher & Higher, Tightrope and Innocence. Unfortunately I do believe that the album was a bit of a let down, and felt very rushed.

 

Florence & The Machine spends her 12 week climbing back into the Top 5, P!nk, R. Kelly, Vampire Weekend, James Vincent McMorrow and Daniel Bedingfield all experience the reminicing effect of the sun as the summery wather always make me want to listen to classic songs.

 

Last years Top 2, Nicki Minaj & Maximo Park, fell to #16 or #23 respectively, maintain their position in the Top 30. Unfortunately for Gotye, he plummeted out of the chart, but I believe he will be showing his face again soon.

 

Finally, Adele makes it back into the the Top 30 for the first time in under the year, the last time Adele was seen was in July 2011 she was positioned 6th.

 

Total Plays this month: 1157 down 18.464%
