This chart is dedicated to the clueless morons responsible for not updating Radio 1's Playlist for 3 Weeks whilst every other major music station including Radio 2 & BBC6Music has radically overhauled their playlists with a load of new tracks; and a thread on Digitalspy bashing Sir Paul McCartney for having the audacity to criticise Simon Cowell's X-Factor show & the "dull sounding" winner. :manson:

good god, what a clearout, beats my record of 19 which I thought was huge! I'm yet to clear the current No.1 out of my chart though, did you just get insanely bored with Hallelujah all of a sudden!?! my faves:

 

01 Jem - It's Amazing (HIGHEST NEW ENTRY)

02 Lady GaGa - Just Dance (7wks 37-20-6-5-5*-2)

39 Alesha Dixon - Breathe Slow (NEW ENTRY)

40 Taylor Swift - Love Story (NEW ENTRY)

 

Very impressive for Jem, the song peaked at No.21 in my chart last summer, which led me to import her new album from America, which is terrible. It's Amazing is the only half decent track on there! Where's Nerina then? she's even top 20 on my chart already!

03 Amanda Palmer - Leeds United (NEW ENTRY)

- is this the widely-known non-mainstream artist I just saw on YouTube?

04 t.A.T.u. - White Robe (NEW ENTRY)

- flop

What a drop for Hallelujah! :lol: I'm guessing Quicksand regrew then? :P

 

Seeing the early 1980s homage video on MTV2 helped a lot, but I don't think it is no classic and I doubt it will make my Personal Chart Top 20.

 

But at least it in infinitely superior to that beyond naff Frankmusic (imagine Alphabeat ripping off Howard Jones 1986 USA smash hit U No I Luv U) 80s track (with the video ripping off Tom Hanks in the movie Big).

good god, what a clearout, beats my record of 19 which I thought was huge! I'm yet to clear the current No.1 out of my chart though, did you just get insanely bored with Hallelujah all of a sudden!?! my faves:

Regarding Hallelujah finding out that Simon Cowell's Syco had bought the publishing off of Leonard Cohen killed my enthusiasm (& the campaign to get it to #1) for the track knowing that the "Satan of Music" is making money out of the definitive Jeff Buckley version.

 

Nerina is not in my chart as my chart consists of tracks that are/were singles or receiving Radio airplay. So as the Nerina track keeps getting removed from youtube the minute someone posts it under its proper title it will not be eligible on my chart until it is given a release date or is eligible to buy.

 

PS. Many Thanks for all your comments.

Hi Rich ^_^ Loving all the new entries - have you heard I Monster's newie yet? :o
