I've said it before, but I've been doing this chart lark for 44 years, age 10. Pop comes n goes, ebbs n flows, good times and not so good times. The first half of the year wasn't that great overall, bar some gigantic singles, but it's picked up massively lately. The entire Top 10 would have been number one in my chart earlier in the year, spread out over 6 months, so it's tough theyve all collided!

 

Even lower down the chart, Ive had to dump some oldies to make way for new stuff, with some still waiting, and the oldies waiting to get in are going to have to wait a while yet...! Some which otherwise might be in (Edwyn Collins, Etta James and Gerry & The Pacemakers, all in the UK Top 75) have already had long runs in my charts, so they're not getting back in!

 

So, 4 weeks at 1, for the fabulous fun record, and 4 at 2 for the nearly-as-fabulous Of Monsters & Men. Gemma Ray gets her 2nd Top 3 of the year, Sparks get their biggest hit since the mid-90's, Deacon Blue get the biggest of their career (since the late 80's). Keane get the highest new entry, I'm mystified by the continuing poor chart performances for the consistently good run of singles they have.

 

Pet Shop still flood my chart with new singles, album & EP tracks, the new album is lovely. Robbie has a high climber, and Joe Cocker enters, joining Jeff Lynne for new stuff from 60's veterans. There are quite a few songs in my chart I've youtubed and nicked from other people's charts, so thanks everyone for the heads-up! Some I will buy, Cheers:)

4 weeks at number 1 for fun. and 4 weeks for Of Monsters And Men at number 2. :o :wub: They are both amazing.

I don't like that Robbie Williams video. The song is OK though. ^_^

Neon Trees are still huge in the USA. I thought they would be the next fun. in the UK charts. It looks unlikely now.

 

:P

Thanks Jason, good choices:) I havent seen the Robbie video, I like the song too though. And yes, Neon Trees deserve to breakthrough here, they need radio 1 behind them I think, so it's a shame they arent that well known! American pop has really revived lately, full of energy:)

 

cheers for the comment & chart choices!
