I think there might be a slight error somewhere on the album mids there... as 5+7=10+2 :)

Do I assume that Travis's "Song To Self" (lyrics "I'm singing a song to myself") has been rather lyrically prophetic and isn't even in the top 200?!? It's out to buy this week on 7'' from what I know.

FAR more than that. It's the first time that any version of the song, or any song sung by either Jeff Buckley or Leonard Cohen has ever gone top 75! (Well, I know Jeff's version's been hanging around on downloads since earlier this year, but you know what I mean) Does anyone know if this is the first time any track written by Leonard Cohen has ever charted in the UK?

Have to say I knew this week might have some underperformers on albums... but Top 90 for Bob the Builder? Top 140 for Brandy and Wiley? Top 190 for Ysgol Glanaethwy? Surely all must have hoped for considerably better!

That would be the Pipes and Drums and Military Band of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards They had an absolutely huge No. 1 hit in the 70s with a version of Amazing Grace. This new album was apparently recorded in a tent in Basra whilst they were out on military service. I'm stunned that WHSmith aren't stocking either Britney Spears or Same Difference! It's interesting to see just HOW much iTunes impacts the chart!

Thanks for the information. A sadly expected total flop for Pigeon Detectives there then, but Celine Dion... oh my!

Wow - some huge surprises there - who'd have thought AC/DC would get to No. 1 with all that competition? and poor Keane!!! Anyway - a few requests from me if you would Celine Dion - My Love The Last Shadow Puppets - My Mistakes Were Made For You Pigeon Detectives – Say It Like You Mean It James Fox - Higher All were apparently released this week... none are mentioned... I fear the worst!

What on earth happened to that Elvis vs Spankox thing? I thought that was meant to be a huge hit! Aside from that, no major shocks (aside from Sonny J potentially failing to just climb 5 places on physical release into the top 40!). Would be interesting to know just HOW badly Little Man Tate and the Zutons flopped!

You will be very surprised then... as Metallica isn't out to buy until Friday and therefore won't be in tomorrow's midweeks at all!

It's the sound of Cliff Richard stating his Christian position on some of the issues that are causing serious issues between us. Personally, I think what he is saying is totally true. I think the guy is somewhat asexual - he doesn't get pleasure from sexual relationships. I know of a situation where a man and a woman live together and have done for many years whilst never being a couple, just being good friends. I think the same is true of Sir Cliff and Father John.

It's not in either Tuesday or Wednesday mids up there. Dare I ask... What's happened to the new Alanis Morissette single? :o

Cheers for that Martin. You missed my Annie Lennox request (I know it didn't stand out) any news?

OMG at Hard Fi :blink: However... I think there's another rather shocking one that I'm going to ask for. Is there any sign of that very hotly tipped (back around Christmas) charity single from Annie Lennox featuring every woman known to music? Oh aye - and Moby and PJ Harvey's new ones as well if you would. I fear the worst...

Cheers for posting right down the top 200 - particularly given some of the huge flops! Expected a lot more from Maccabees, Hoosiers, Celine Dion and Ringo Starr! Any chance you could fill me in on: Jamie Scott & The Town – Standing In The Rain (was it released physically this week?) Plain White T's - Hate (I Really Don't Like You) (is it still making its way slowly to the top 75?) Scouting For Girls - Elvis Ain't Dead (just HOW high is it now? Higher than last week?)

You think right, 6weeksatnumber7 - though I'm not sure what the price is. However, the crucial price is how much the record companies are selling it to the shops at - it's quite possible that shops can entice people in by selling some albums at less than they paid the record companies for them, in the hope they'll buy some others that are not in sales.

Ouch! I came in here expecting to say "Where are Amsterdam, as they're not mentioned"? I never thought I'd also have to say "Where are Plain White T's, as they're not mentioned"!!! :o :o :o Stunned if PWTs amazing song has missed the top 100!

Wow - a load of flops this week!!! Majorly shocked about Connie Talbot. Does anyone know if Lee Mead's single had a physical release this week? It was due to but I've not found it anywhere. A couple of others I'm intrigued about due to their noteable lack of a mention so far... Bon Jovi :lol: Stan Boardman :lol: and also a huge personal favourite of mine. Has "Hate (I Really Don't Like You)" by Plain White T's got anywhere at all on downloads? :mellow:

Wow - some huge singles new entries missing from that list :blink: Pigeon Detectives - I Found Out Hard-Fi - Can't Get Along (Without You) Ben’s Brother - Carry On Linkin Park - Shadow Of The Day Michael Buble – Lost Darren Hayes – Me Myself & I if you would please :o

Cheers for that Mikey. Real shame that the mighty Super Furry Animals can't sell records anymore, and stunned that Angels and Airwaves' comeback single has gone nowhere. However... following up the two top 5 singles with a song that misses the top 200 entirely is unbelieveable! Is that Gym Class Heroes one NCQ?

Sorry Mikey, but there's a fair few I'm going to ask for this week... Gym Class Heroes - The Queen And I Angels & Airwaves – Everything’s Magic New Young Pony Club – Get Lucky Jose Gonzalez – Teardrop Daughtry – Home Super Furry Animals - Run Away Thrills – The Midnight Choir This is the week of big flops it seems, Cliff not top 40 and Kings Of Leon not top 75, and then all the above potentially not even top 100!

Wow - surprised at how badly the likes of Dave Gahan, Biffy Clyro and the Hives are doing - was expected all potentially top 10, as they'll surely tumble as the week goes on. Maybe none of them top 40 by the weekend! Any sign of the Natasha Bedingfield download only single or Matchbox 20? Also anyone know what's gone wrong for poor old Underworld?

Wow - a truly staggering set of flops there! 30 Seconds To Mars, Will.I.Am and LeAnn Rimes in particular! :o :o :o A few other songs I want to ask for if that's okay... Stereophonics – It Means Nothing (downloads out now, no?) Cherry Ghost – 4am Matchbox Twenty – How Far We’ve Come Wurzels – One For The Bristol City Jakobinarina - His Lyrics Are Disastrous Many thanks, Matthew

A few noteable singles missing from that first post... so any info on... Crowded House- She Called Up PJ Harvey - When Under Ether (7”) and particularly noticeably missing are... Fall Out Boy - I’m Like A Lawyer With The Way I’m Always Trying To Get You Off (Me & You) :lol: Oh, and I'm currently predicting a load of songs to eventually enter on download. Anyone know if the likes of Jack Penate, Shayne Ward and Katie Melua are out to download this week? Cheers, Matthew

Okay - it's my first post in here - I've only really signed up because I've been annoyed on the odd occasion that I'ave had the answer to something but been unable to post it. Don't people who think it's because of the "Seven Ages Of Rock" series (which by the way is amazing, shame i missed the first one) wonder why that track and no other has charted? I think the more obvious reason as far as I'm concerned is this simply fantastic cover from a week ago last Saturday night. 5oav4WXEebQ I'm prepared to be proved wrong if "Another Brick In The Wall" or "See Emily Play" go top 75 this week though ;)
