Alot of changes this week. The most noticeable is that the chart has expanded to a Top 20 this week. I have been running this for a few weeks and now's the time to go public with it. I don't know if it will revert to a Top 10 but we'll run with it for now. The big bit of Grebo chart news is that Cassius has become the first song to spend 5 consecutive weeks at the top! Will it make a 6th. As the change to a Top 20 shows there are lots of new entries between 11-20 but only 2 in the Top 10. The Orb benefit from a thread in the Retro section encouraging me to dig out Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld and this results in a new entry at #7 for Perpetual Dawn. The biggest new single is at #9 with a welcome return for The Long Blondes with their fabulous new song Century. There are also rises for Duffy and a big rise for the Futureheads. Will they be able to challenge for the #1 spot next week? Tune in and find out.
