Anyone know what happened to Square 1 featuring Siobhan Donaghy?

Davinche - Rider / Riding For Love is out as a physical release now on 8 June

My favourite of the week, TV on the Radio's 'Dancing Choose' seems to have been pulled...

What happened to Sick Muse by Metric?

DaVinChe Ft Clea & Bashy 'Riding For Love' has been pushed back from 25 May to 8 June. Think it's a download only single.

Third week of 2009 and I'm delighted to say that it's all change this week. 1) MIA – Paper Planes 2) White Lies - To Lose My Life 2 3) Kid Cudi vs Crookers – Day ‘n’ Nite 3 4) Oh Atoms - Sugar Mouse 5) MGMT – Kids 3 6) Rifles - Fall to Sorrow 7) Lady GaGa - Just Dance 2 8) Kings Of Leon – Use Somebody 5 9) Little Comets – One Night In October 10) TV On The Radio – Dancing Choose 11) Bryn Christopher – Fearless 12) Franz Ferdinand – Ulysses 13) Screaming Lights – GMN 14) Flobots – Rise 7 15) Two Fingers feat Sway - What You Know 7 16) Pete And The Pirates - Jennifer 7 17) Teddy Thompson - The Things I Do 18) Team Waterpolo - So Called Summer 8 19) Lisbee Stainton – Red 8 20) Kanye West – Love Lockdown 8 Chart headlines MIA stays at the top for the fourth week running since the re-emergence of my chart Kid Cudi gets the highest climber, up three this week Oh Atoms is the highest new entry at 4 7 new entries this week. It would have been 12 but five singles have had their release dates put back! How I Work Out My Chart Only singles that have had an official release qualify. The formula I use to calculate the chart is: (JP-W)*F-LE-WP JP - Jon Points (out of 100) W - Points based on the number of weeks the single has been released F - Format score (type of formats the single is released on) LE - Limited edition penalty WP - Penalty points if a song was released over 5, 10 or 15 weeks ago **Click the links for YouTubey goodness**

Did the limited edition 7" of Jennifer by Pete and the Pirates get pulled? Shocked that Lisa Mitchell isn't coming out now.

Hi everyone I'm interested to know what methodologies people use for calculating their charts. Is it based on numbers of listens in a week? Do you have a formula for calculating who appears where? I'd be interested to see how all the charts differ.

Hey Nick There's loads of stuff in your chart that I've not even heard. I'm off to fire up YouTube!

Thanks for the comments. I've added links to videos for 7 of the tracks (the ones I think are probably less well known) on YouTube.

Second week of 2009 and we're still in that period of few new singles so little change in the chart this week: 1) MIA – Paper Planes 2) MGMT – Kids 3) Kings Of Leon – Use Somebody 4) White Lies - To Lose My Life 5) Lady Gaga - Just Dance 1 6) Kid Cudi vs Crookers – Day ‘n’ Nite 7) Flobots – Rise 1 8) Two Fingers feat Sway - What You Know 9) Pete And The Pirates - Jennifer 10) Team Waterpolo - So Called Summer 11) Lisbee Stainton – Red 2 12) Kanye West – Love Lockdown 7 13) Sneaky Sound System - UFO 2 14) The Script – Break Even 2 15) Psapp – Monster Song 8 16) John Legend feat Andre 3000 – Green Light 1 17) Tilly & The Wall - Beat Control / Too Excited 1 18) Cage The Elephant - In One Ear 1 19) Kardinal Offishal feat Akon – Dangerous 6 20) Beryl Marsden – Too Late 6 So, no change top 3 again but two new entries in the top 6. A host of new releases next week should see a significantly different chart.

Tips are Team Waterpolo and Tigers That Talked.

First week of 2009 sees a couple of new entries and also a couple of re-entries: 1) MIA – Paper Planes 2) MGMT – Kids 3) Kings Of Leon – Use Somebody 4) Lady Gaga - Just Dance 5) Kanye West – Love Lockdown 1 6) Flobots – Rise 7) Psapp – Monster Song 4 8) Two Fingers feat Sway - What You Know 9) Lisbee Stainton – Red 3 10) Team Waterpolo - So Called Summer 5 11) Sneaky Sound System - UFO 6 12) The Script – Break Even 13) Kardinal Offishal feat Akon – Dangerous 5 14) Beryl Marsden – Too Late 5 15) John Legend feat Andre 3000 – Green Light 8 16) Tilly & The Wall - Beat Control / Too Excited 8 17) Cage The Elephant - In One Ear 8 18) Oasis - The Shock of The Lightning 8 19) Flobots – Handlebars 6 20) Keane - Perfect Symmetry So, no change top 3 but Lady Gaga pushing hard to break in as the highest new entry.

Great chart. I (know and) like: 01 (02) A-Punk - Vampire Weekend *3rd month at No.1* (11 months in chart) 02 (01) Bathroom Gurgle - Late Of The Pier 03 (03) Dancing Choose - TV On The Radio 04 (09) Gettin' Up - Q-Tip 05 (33) My Delirium - Ladyhawke 06 (10) Dusk Till Dawn - Ladyhawke 09 (15) Good Morning - Sparks {#2} 10 (22) One Day Like This - Elbow 11 (25) Breaking It Up - Lykke Li 12 (04) Love Lockdown - Kanye West 13 (05) Paris Is Burning - Ladyhawke 14 (06) VW - Late Of The Pier 17 (11) Salute Your Solution - The Raconteurs {#5} (10 months in chart) 20 (28) Lighten Up, Morrissey - Sparks {#5} 21 (30) Thou Shalt Always Kill - Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip {#1} (15 months in chart) 22 (17) Use Somebody - Kings Of Leon 23 (38) Little Bit - Lykke Li 26 (21) Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa - Vampire Weekend {#2} 28 (26) Who's Gonna Save My Soul - Gnarls Barkley 29 (47) Going On - Gnarls Barkley {#8} 30 (34) Boyz - M.I.A. {#2} 32 (41) Oxford Comma - Vampire Weekend {#6} 33 (37) In This City - Iglu & Hartly {#6} 35 (42) Kids - MGMT 37 (44) Letter From God To Man - Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip {#1} (13 months in chart) 39 (49) Lights & Music - Cut Copy {#21} 41 (52) The Beat That My Heart Skipped - Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip {#1} (15 months in chart) 42 (35) Sex On Fire - Kings Of Leon {#18} 44 (14) L.E.S.

If I had to choose three it would be MGMT, Vampire Weekend and Los Campesinos! All very good debuts. The follow up Los Campesinos! album is meant to be very good as well/

Am I right in thinking that A-Punk was the only single that got a physical release in 2008?

First week of 2009 sees a couple of new entries and also a couple of re-entries: 1) MIA – Paper Planes 2) MGMT – Kids 3) Kings Of Leon – Use Somebody 4) Lady Gaga - Just Dance 5) Kanye West – Love Lockdown 1 6) Flobots – Rise 7) Psapp – Monster Song 4 8) Two Fingers feat Sway - What You Know 9) Lisbee Stainton – Red 3 10) Team Waterpolo - So Called Summer 5 11) Sneaky Sound System - UFO 6 12) The Script – Break Even 13) Kardinal Offishal feat Akon – Dangerous 5 14) Beryl Marsden – Too Late 5 15) John Legend feat Andre 3000 – Green Light 8 16) Tilly & The Wall - Beat Control / Too Excited 8 17) Cage The Elephant - In One Ear 8 18) Oasis - The Shock of The Lightning 8 19) Flobots – Handlebars 6 20) Keane - Perfect Symmetry So, no change top 3 but Lady Gaga pushing hard to break in as the highest new entry.
