Cian'S Monthly Review

Cian'S Monthly Review: August 2012

Autumn is here and The Vaccines become the second act to top the monthly review twice. The first being last month's number one, Chris Brown, who surprisingly knocked The Vaccines off their first #1 last March. It's interesting to point out that the first month that Chris Brown has not been in the Top 30 since the chart began is this month, a month after he was #1. He is currently at #55.

Along with top of the artist chart, The Vaccines have two entries in the tracks chart at #6 & #8. Topping the tracks chart is Jake Bugg with the brilliant "Lightening Bolt", despite tough competition from Ellie Goulding, Taylor Swift and Frank Ocean.

Frank Ocean sees himself debut at #2 this month with 71 plays, an amount which would have landed him #1 if this was the same time last year. His album channel ORANGE was the most played album of the month aswell. At #3, climbing an impressive 41 places is Trey Songz, whose climb is off the back of the release of the new album Chapter V.

Bruce Springsteen and Lykke Li also see Top 5 success as both their Greatest hits and Wounded Rhymes album respectively got regular play. Wiley's new single "Heatwave", along with his back catelogue see him jump in at #7. Marina & The Diamonds keeps her position at #8 beating the Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs who debuted at #9.

No Doubt are the only other artist to debut this month off the back of their single Settle Down.

Total Plays this month: 1104 up 33.3%
