Monthly top 50 chart since March 1996. Soon after, I retro-compiled back to January 1996 to round out the year. However in 2002 I didn't compile a chart for twelve months.

'Alice' totally flopped this week. 'Disco Lies' is virtually guaranteed to be the next single.

According to reports, iTunes downloads are expected to be reduced to 74p later this year to bring the price in line with European prices (€0.99)

Bring back the bargain bins! Used to be a highlight of a visit to Woolworths to pick through 10p/49p/99p singles..

Thanks for stopping by thisispop :cheer:

Is that you Mikey? Great to see lots of songs being liked.

Thanks Jonny, I predict a climb for WAS this coming month!

I think the low point in the chart show came when JK and Joel played something like "top twenty British selling pop songs of the decade" a few years ago, instead of the week's 21-40! Edit: that was a one-off, but there were weeks when a good number of the bottom twenty were not played out to make up for lost time. At least now we get 90-95% of the chart played each week.

Needs to be released sooner!

Glad you like it. Thanks to all who have responded. Yes the Indie Multichart sounds interesting :)

Given the prolonged success of 'Rockstar', I really cannot see 'Photograph' coming out on 3rd March... bet it'll be delayed|

Not looking good. For all they know, people may have been waiting for the CD single!

That's the spirit! :D

Lest we forget... "Tell Me Why" by Spice Girls.

If 'Hey Ya' cannot reach number one, then this certainly shouldn't.

Even for a Canadian band they've managed to capture that life-of-excess-look-at-me-I-am/want-to-be-on-MTV-Cribs vibe in the song

Jennifer Lopez - Hold It Don't Drop It..

Lots of older hits washed up again so it feels like a bit of a chart slow-down this month. Featuring just seven of this week's UK top 40 singles chart! http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Middle_Images/HMV/PRERELCDSRAD.JPGhttp://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Middle_Images/HMV/XLS320A.JPGhttp://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Middle_Images/HMV/BJORKVOLTPRE.JPGhttp://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Middle_Images/HMV/88697164992.JPGhttp://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Middle_Images/HMV/CDPOWSUG3.JPG http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Middle_Images/HMV/1752306.JPGhttp://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Middle_Images/HMV/XLS277CD.JPGhttp://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Middle_Images/NOIMAGE.GIFhttp://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Middle_Images/HMV/NINPRECD.JPGhttp://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Middle_Images/HMV/DFAEMI2182CD.JPG 1 (31) JIGSAW FALLING INTO PLACE, Radiohead 2 (1) CONQUEST, The White Stripes 3 (11) DECLARE INDEPENDENCE, Bjork 4 (6) CHARMER, Kings Of Leon {peak: #2} 5 (29) ME MYSELF AND (I), Darren Hayes 6 (**) GOOD LIFE, Kanye West feat T-Pain 7 (7) ICKY THUMP, The White Stripes {#1} (10 months on top 50) 8 (4) LETTER FROM GOD TO MAN, Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip 9 (30) CAPITAL G, Nine Inch Nails 10 (20) SOMEONE GREAT, LCD Soundsystem {#1} 11 (2) PAPER PLANES, M.I.A. 12 (62) DO IT AGAIN, Chemical Brothers ft Ali Love {#1} 13 (RE) THE CREEPS, Camille Jones {#7} 14 (10) BOYZ, M.I.A. {#2} 15 (**) 1234, Feist 16 (15) YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT LOVE IS (YOU JUST DO AS YOU'RE TOLD), The White Stripes {#1} 17 (22) ALL MY FRIENDS, LCD Soundsystem {#2} (10 months on top 50) 18 (23) BEAT THAT MY HEART SKIPPED, Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip {#1} 19 (3) ATLAS, Battles 20 (8) DESTROY EVERYTHING YOU TOUCH, Ladytron 21 (**) HOLD IT DON'T DROP IT, Jennifer Lopez 22 (**) WORK, Kelly Rowland 23 (36) UMBRELLA, Rihanna ft Jay-Z {#3} 24 (14) FANS, Kings Of Leon {#4} 25 (5) D.A.N.C.E., Justice 26 (**) DIAMOND HOO HA MAN, Supergrass 27 (40) THE ANGRY MOB, Kaiser Chiefs {#19} 28 (48) MAKE IT WIT CHU, Queens Of The Stone Age {#15} 29 (68) APOLOGIZE, Timbaland presents One Republic {#18} 30 (**) SOME KINDA RUSH, Booty Luv 31 (28) THE WAY I ARE, Timbaland ft Keri Hilson, D.O.E. & SebastiAn {#3} 32 (18) BATHROOM GURGLE, Late Of The Pier {#17} 33 (19) DROP THE PHONE, Shy Child {#9} 34 (25) DIRECT HIT, Art Brut {#16} 35 (16) ON CALL, Kings Of Leon {#6} (10 months on top 50) 36 (27) DANCE TONIGHT, Paul McCartney {#20} 37 (35) RELAX, TAKE IT EASY, Mika 38 (**) SHADOW OF THE DAY, Linkin Park 39 (9) JIMMY, M.I.A. {#2} 40 (17) SUCO DE TANGERINA, Beastie Boys {#7} 41 (53) WORST CASE SCENARIO, Hoosiers 42 (51) LAST NIGHT, P Diddy ft Keyshia Cole {#1} (10 months on top 50) 43 (55) LOLLIPOP, Mika 44 (66) STRONGER, Kanye West {#21} 45 (RE) GIVE IT TO ME, Timbaland ft Nelly Furtado & Justin Timberlake {#5} 46 (57) TEARDROP, Newton Faulkner 47 (54) WITH EVERY HEARTBEAT, Robyn ft Kleerup {#4} 48 (**) SUN GOES DOWN, David Jordan 49 (37) OFF THE HOOK, CSS {#25} 50 (47) HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, Reverend & The Makers {#5} 67 (**) 6 OF 1 THING - Craig David

As well as anyone without an Internet connection. And then Now 66 was released!

What about these new entries? They were hovering outside the top 75 the previous week. Adopting your formatting: Eric Prydz vs Floyd - Proper Education 13/01/2007 2 Cascada - Miracle 10/03/2007 8 Timbaland ft Nelly Furtado & Justin Timberlake - Give It To Me 14/04/2007 8 D

Voted for CP. Hope it doesn't have the chart longevity of CC!

In at 86 this week. Released too soon while 'Goodbye Mr A' is still riding high?

Mark Ronson - 'Just' was technically the first single from Version (no.48 in 2006).
