Not had access to a computer for most of the week and been really busy, but here it is finally - the artists chart! 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 - 372 02 02 Beyonce - 298 03 06 Lady Gaga - 275 04 05 Akon - 259 05 03 Rihanna - 254 06 07 Saturdays - 243 07 04 P!nk - 243 08 14 Killers - 237 09 08 Ne-Yo - 236 10 09 Katy Perry - 230 11 13 MGMT - 223 12 11 Britney Spears - 222 13 10 Take That - 220 14 18 James Morrison - 215 15 15 Girls Aloud - 203 16 12 Kanye West - 200 17 16 Script - 194 18 17 Alesha Dixon - 186 19 19 Jason Mraz - 182 20 --- Franz Ferdinand - 174 21 30 Pussycat Dolls - 174 22 20 Leona Lewis - 162 23 21 White Lies - 149 24 27 N-Dubz - 148 25 --- Bruce Springsteen - 144 26 24 Seasick Steve - 144 27 26 Coldplay - 141 28 29 Fleet Foxes - 128 29 25 Snow Patrol - 115 30 28 Lil Wayne - 114 31 --- Lily Allen - 113 32 23 Duffy - 112 33 33 T.I. - 112 34 --- Elbow - 99 35 31 Kid Cudi vs Crookers - 98 36 32 Tinchy Stryder vs Taio Cruz - 97 37 34 Nelly Furtado - 96 38 36 Jordin Sparks - 96 39 37 Kevin Rudolf - 94 40 --- Roger Whittaker - 90

Result of Soundclash #20 Lady Gaga - Poker Face [ 27 ] ** [50.94%] Alesha Dixon - Breathe Slow [ 26 ] ** [49.06%] Very very close all, but Lady Gaga comes out on top in the end, next challenge will be tough - Lily Allen Lady Gaga - Poker Face vs Lily Allen - The Fear Next soundclash probably won't be til monday as i don't think i'll have internet til then - so check back on Monday for results!

5pts Kid Cudi vs Crookers - Day N Nite 4pts 50 Cent - Get Up 3pts Kanye West - Heartless 2pts Rihanna/Justin Timberlake - Rehab 1pt Tinchy Stryder/Taio Cruz - Take Me Back

maybe it should be a top 30 only, or revert back to the original rules

41-00. Kanye West - Love Lockdown 42-00. Girls Aloud - The Promise 43-00. Shontelle - T-Shirt 44-00. All-American Rejects - Gives You Hell 45-00. The Fray - You Found Me 46-00.

Coolio & LV - Gangsta's Paradise

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!

Results of Soundclash #19 P!nk - Sober [ 19 ] ** [36.54%] Lady Gaga - Poker Face [ 33 ] ** [63.46%] So P!nk only won 1 soundclash, but against Lady Gaga it was always going to be tough, how will Alesha Dixon do? Lady Gaga - Poker Face vs Alesha Dixon - Breathe Slow Check back to see if Lady Gaga can take a second win in the soundclash!

maybe a BIT early but i think Pokerface is going to win hands down!

Results of Soundclash #18 Kevin Rudolf ft. Lil Wayne - Let It Rock [ 18 ] ** [45.00%] P!nk - Sober [ 22 ] ** [55.00%] So Kevin Rudolf's reign was short-lived, only 2 wins - Girls Aloud and Kid Cudi! how long will P!nk rule the Soundclash world, can she beat Pokerface?? P!nk - Sober vs Lady Gaga - Pokerface Check back in a couple of days for the next soundclash to see who wins!

very close at the moment, I'm slightly confused - is her official artist name P!nk or Pink?

Results for Soundclash #17 Kevin Rudolf ft. Lil Wayne - Let It Rock [ 22 ] ** [55.00%] Kid Cudi vs Crookers - Day N' Nite [ 18 ] ** [45.00%] So Kevin Rudolf successfully wins his first 'defense' in what was quite close - how will he do against Pink? Kevin Rudolf ft. Lil Wayne - Let It Rock vs Pink - Sober Results will be up in a couple of days as normal

I didn' get the salute thing either, but i just took it on advice from a veteran member of buzzjack!

good good - glad it makes sense to you now! What do you think of the chart? - or the idea of it?

Well done also to Kings of Leon who remain at the top of the chart for the second week.

It will at somepoint - just giving it some time to get more established and well known first

That's cos Kevin Rudolf is good, whereas Lady Gaga's rubbish!

Results of Soundclash #16 Girls Aloud - The Loving Kind [ 21 ] ** [47.73%] Kevin Rudolf ft. Lil Wayne - Let It Rock [ 23 ] ** [52.27%] Break open the champagne if you're sick of Girls Aloud winning - they've finally been beaten in a very close race from the beginning by Kevin Rudolf - here's a rundown of their soundclash history! vs Killers - Human (won 28-18) vs Take That - Greatest Day (won 20-3) vs Lady Gaga - Just Dance (won 18-17) vs Sugababes - No Can Do (won 21-18) vs Saturdays - Issues (won 24-15) vs MGMT - Kids (won 17-15) vs Britney Spears - Circus (won 27-22) vs Rihanna/Justin - Rehab (won 28-11) vs Kanye West - Heartless (won 18-8) vs Kevin Rudolf - Let It Rock (lost 21-23) So, how long can Kevin Rudolf rule the soundclash world? next challenge is tipped to be a high new entry in the chart later today, Kid Cudi vs Crookers!
