Puppets cast a chart shadow 10:26 | Tuesday April 22, 2008 By Ben Cardew The Last Shadow Puppets look set to clinch the number one slot on the albums chart with their debut The Age Of The Understatement (Domino). The album outsold its nearest competitor, The Kooks’ second album Konk (Virgin), by more than two to one yesterday. Lower down the charts, Whitesnake’s new album Good To Be Bad (SPV Recordings) looks set for a top ten entry, while Chris De Burgh’s Now And then (UMTV) should challenge for a top thirty placing. In the singles chart, Madonna looks likely to score a second week at number one with 4 Minutes (Warner Bros), which was released physically yesterday (Monday). Meanwhile, Wiley’s Wearing My Rolex should give revived Warner label Asylum its first hit in its new guise, with the single currently challenging for a top ten placing on download sales.

For the first half of the show though, he was saying stuff like "Rick was at #1 when all these songs were beneath him..." and "How did it feel, Rick, whenever you had a single that didn't make it to #1?" - he only ever had ONE #1!!! He was definitely playing a non-official chart cos he announced and played #20 as Aswad's "Don't Turn Around" (which was at #22, on its way to #5 the next week) and #19 as Alexander O'Neal/Cherelle's "Never Knew Love Like This" (which was actually on its way down from #31 to #37 that week from a peak of #26). And before anyone suggests it, they certainly weren't played as "bubbling under" tracks. A lot of the tracks between #12 and #18 were also in the incorrect order, albeit slightly. I then had to switch off at the halfway point by which time Kid was talking about Rick's #2 single that week rather than the #1.

From The Bottom Of The Top is usually an entertaining listen, but sometimes the research is poor, the guests don't participate enough and the records are often played in the wrong order, introduced or back-announced incorrectly or not at all! A couple of weeks ago, the "see you next week - thanks to my guest etc" was played in the middle of the show! Every week, they've adhered to the Guinness charts apart from a couple of weeks ago. The 1988 chart seemed to be completely made up! (I'm sure it wasn't even the Network Chart...!) Rick Astley was the guest. At the beginning, Kid Jensen announced "Together Forever" as a #1 (which raised my eyebrows initially) but halfway through the show he conceded it was actually a #2. For a pre-recorded programme this kind of mess is inexcusable! But at least they feature the whole Top 20 on these shows.

Yep, I'm aware of all that too! I get really frustrate dwith the stuff that's wrong and missed out etc., but it's the highlight of my radio week! I don't get a lot of chances to listen to the radio, but the missus and kids now appreciate that Sunday afternoons mean Pick Of The Pops followed by the Top 40, so it's nice to wallow in a bit of nostalgia for a couple of hours once a week. I just enjoy the "counting down the chart" factor whilst driving around the countryside with the family! (Sad, I know!) Does anyone else listen to From The Bottom To The Top on Gold? By the way, all the 60s charts I've heard on POTP (and I've only missed one show since the new series started in 2005) have matched my Guinness Top 40 Charts book...

Edgy folk artist, much loved by the great John Peel EDITS: That'll be Sharon Shannon then!

"No need to listen to Dale Winton`s pretty naff Radio 2 show, what!!!!!!" How roooood!! Dale's show is great! He's doing 1992 this week too... Is it a coincidence you've done the same year as him for two weeks in a row, or are you bowing down to the great Mr Winton by way of a tribute? :P

Cahill - up 6 Adele - down 4 Sugababes - down 2 PATD - non-mover Rihanna - down 2 Taio Cruz - non-mover Last Shadow Puppets - up 15 H Two O - down 4 Scouting For Girls - up 5 Usher - up 8 Nickelback - down 3 Alphabeat - non-mover

Black Kids - down 8 Stop and Stare - down 3 Fragma - down 6 Girls Aloud - down 5 Natasha - down 4 Basshunter - down 2 Elliot Minor - down 10 Snoop Dogg - down 8 Courteeners - down 9

Looking at the mids now - now with 3 new entries and 1 re-entry!! - we could be looking at a Top 40 with 40 different artists, if we exclude "featuring Kanye West," "featuring Cheryl Cole" etc.

Yesterday's "full" update was climbers and new entries only, but I can give you Wednesday's figures? Album only just Top 200 Single Top 130

Thanks! That's an impressive lead she has there now!

Up 7 from Sunday

Yep! It peaked at #49 a few weeks ago

Moved up to Top 80 by Wednesday
