its interesting, Gaga has more points this week than last week or even the week before, yet still is lower than both weeks!

This weekly chart is done under a points system, I've taken the Top 100 Singles and Top 100 Albums and given an artist points for where they appear in each chart - 100 points for No.1 99pts for No.2 down to 1pt. for No.100 Obviously if artists appear more than once then they get points for each time they appear. Once all the points are added up I'll put them into a table and do a top 40 - in the event of a tie the artist who has a song/album higher in the charts comes first. 01 01 Kings Of Leon - 405 02 02 Take That - 316 03 05 Killers - 290 04 03 Lady Gaga - 279 05 04 Beyonce - 254 06 06 Alesha Dixon - 237 07 16 MGMT - 228 08 09 Lily Allen - 224 09 10 Katy Perry - 223 10 08 Saturdays - 209 11 07 Akon - 208 12 37 Duffy - 193 13 11 P!nk - 189 14 15 Coldplay - 187 15 14 James Morrison - 184 16 21 Girls Aloud - 184 17 13 Britney Spears - 181 18 22 Kanye West - 179 19 --- Miley Cyrus - 176 20 34 Elbow - 174 21 18 Pussycat Dolls - 168 22 12 Rihanna - 153 23 --- Ting Tings - 152 24 20 Jason Mraz - 150 25 33 Seasick Steve - 146 26 --- Morrissey - 144 27 --- U2 - 142 28 23 N-Dubz - 135 29 19 Script - 133 30 25 Leona Lewis - 122 31 29 T.I. - 120 32 17 Fray - 118 33 27 Bruce Springsteen - 111 34 24 Ne-Yo - 111 35 26 All American Rejects - 105 36 36 Justin Timberlake - 100 37 --- Prodigy - 97 38 --- Pet Shop Boys - 97 39 --- Shontelle - 95 40 --- Nelly Furtado - 94 So no surprise that this week Kings of Leon hold on to the top spot after the Brit Awards, they not only hold onto the top spot but also break past 400 points, the first time that's happened. MGMT move into the Top 10 and after re-entering at no.37 last week she has a huge climb to no.12! Last week there were a record of 7 new entries, this week that record is broken with 8, headed at No.19 by Miley Cyrus. Artists leaving the chart are: 50 Cent (28) Fleet Foxes (30) Airborne Toxic Event (31) Jordin Sparks (32) Lil Wayne (35) UB40 (38) Eminem (39) Luther Vandross (40)

I would agree - although I think Take That could make it once their new single is officially released

Once again a little late but been a tad busy - you know how it can be! This weekly chart is done under a points system, I've taken the Top 100 Singles and Top 100 Albums and given an artist points for where they appear in each chart - 100 points for No.1 99pts for No.2 down to 1pt. for No.100 Obviously if artists appear more than once then they get points for each time they appear. Once all the points are added up I'll put them into a table and do a top 40 - in the event of a tie the artist who has a song/album higher in the charts comes first. 01 01 Kings Of Leon - 342 02 06 Take That - 284 03 02 Lady Gaga - 278 04 03 Beyonce - 261 05 07 Killers - 255 06 05 Alesha Dixon - 250 07 04 Akon - 239 08 08 Saturdays - 234 09 28 Lily Allen - 221 10 09 Katy Perry - 215 11 10 P!nk - 214 12 11 Rihanna - 202 13 12 Britney Spears - 194 14 15 James Morrison - 192 15 18 Coldplay - 184 16 13 MGMT - 183 17 --- Fray - 176 18 14 Pussycat Dolls - 172 19 17 Script - 170 20 21 Jason Mraz - 167 21 16 Girls Aloud - 165 22 20 Kanye West - 161 23 26 N-Dubz - 146 24 19 Ne-Yo - 146 25 23 Leona Lewis - 142 26 --- All American Rejects - 136 27 25 Bruce Springsteen - 130 28 30 50 Cent - 123 29 33 T.I. - 123 30 24 Fleet Foxes - 119 31 --- Airborne Toxic Event - 117 32 31 Jordin Sparks - 113 33 32 Seasick Steve - 111 34 22 Elbow - 109 35 36 Lil Wayne - 108 36 --- Justin Timberlake - 108 37 --- Duffy - 102 38 --- UB40 - 98 39 39 Eminem ft. Dr Dre - 97 40 --- Luther Vandross - 97 I actually had to do a recount for this because some of the results were so surprising this week (like Take That being so high and Elbow's big drop after last week's big climb!) but this is correct, Take That are back in the Top 3 and are closing in on Kings Of Leon pushing Lady Gaga down to No.3! As mentioned Elbow drop down 12 which I personally think is a shame. Also a big mover, unsurprisingly though is Lily Allen who makes the Top 10 due to the release of her album. A record 7 New Entries make the chart this week, including a return for Duffy at No.37 and headed by The Fray at No.17 meaning that the following 7 artists leave the chart: Franz Ferdinand (27) The View (29) Snow Patrol (34) Daniel Merriweather (35) White Lies (37) Tinchy Stryder ft. Taio Cruz (38) Kid Cudi vs Crookers (40)

What's depressing is if you take out the charity and reality show songs the best seller is Shaggy's It Wasn't Me - one of the worstsongs ever released! awful track!!

Taio Cruz - 98 39 --- Eminem ft. Dr Dre - 97 40 35 Kid Cudi vs Crookers - 95 So quite a bit of movement this week, Lady Gaga edges past Beyonce to second spot, but still quite a way behind Kings Of Leon, Alesha Dixon explodes into the Top 5, Take That return to the Top 10, Pussycat Dolls and Coldplay climb into the Top 20 and there are 4 new entries to the Top 40 from The View, 50 Cent, Daniel Merriweather and Eminem ft. Dr Dre. Artists leaving the chart this week are Nelly Furtado, Kevin Rudolf, Duffy and Roger Whittaker

I hope not, can't stand one week number ones - degrades the chart!

Not had access to a computer for most of the week and been really busy, but here it is finally - the artists chart!

That's exactly it, plus I base this on the top 100, he's also on a single ft. Lil Wayne at #79 I'm So Paid, which wouldn't have been included had it only been based on the top 75 - means an extra 22 points (on that note Lady Gaga also grabbed a couple of extra points, Paparazzi is at #99)

Any comments welcome!
