“Prada” actually OK for a while: 80-81 last week.
“Like Him” 81-85 so indeed will be in trouble soon.

That could be spot on.

Some of these I like more than when I listened for the weekly polls. “Blade Bird” for example didn’t really click first time round.
Going for:
Dog’s Dinner
Blade Bird
Emergence
But there are half a dozen more I really enjoy - good list.

At the time “Underneath Your Clothes” was my favourite by miles. I still do love it - I rarely enjoy soppy ballads but there’s something about Shakira’s touch that makes it special. But these days I’m falling slightly more for the manic charm of “Rockstar” with the hard hitting rap and some early Pharrell sung vocals. Sorry Viper - not feeling “My Friends Over You” at all.
9
N*E*R*D
I prefer the high octane Jason Nevins remix of this but the original is great too: a bracing and powerful rock hip hop track
8
Shakira
I love this ballad: the endearing 2nd language lyrics, the way her voice breaks up in places and gentle instrumental touches
8
Dirty Vegas
They won't have any more Top 40s apart from a re-release of "Days Go By": this is another gorgeous atmospheric track
8
Linkin Park
Impressive that this 5th single reached the Top 10: like all of "Hybrid Theory" both these are marvellous rap metal songs
7
Vanessa Carlton
Only Top 40 for this US singer songwriter: it may not be remarkable musically but this is a classic with an iconic piano riff
7
Darius
931st#1: all the "Pop Idol" medalists now have #1s and this is the best of them: a soulful and lyrically imaginative number
7
Narcotic Thrust
1st hit for this duo whose name is an anagram of one of theirs: I really enjoy the atmosphere and driving energy of this
6
Will Smith Featuring Tra-Knox
From the "Men In Black II" soundtrack: I prefer this to most of Will's hits with its slick rap and the way it builds to a frenzy
6
Doves
The instruments definitely are pounding here: it's really good but doesn't have the magic of "There Goes The Fear" for me
6
McAlmont And Butler
1st hit in 5 years for the duo, but their sound hasn't changed much: nothing amazing but lovely vocals and orchestration
5
Natalie Imbruglia
Her 7th hit but 1st to miss the Top 20: this has lovely warm production and lyrics but it somehow lacks a bit of oomph
5
Primal Scream
Their 1st hit for a while with a very stark and intense, slightly demonic sounding electronic sound: I don't entirely love it
5
Michelle Branch
This doesn't quite have the soaring chorus of "Everywhere" but it's another enjoyable bit of proto-Avril style rock pop
4
The Streets
Another Streets song that nails the urban poetry side and has a nice chilled atmosphere but otherwise doesn't grab me
4
P Diddy Featuring Usher And Loon
I like the shimmering production on "I Need A Girl", but it is a little repetitive and "U Don't Have To Call" is quite boring
3
George Michael
A song mocking the Blair-Bush relationship and sampling The Human League's "Love Action": it's sorely in need of a hook
3
S Club Juniors
Like the debut it has some nice retro pop production but melodically it's less strong and again they sound too young for it
2
Britney Spears Featuring Pharrell Williams
A 2nd vastly inferior appearance from Pharrell in this group: this has the bare production of "I'm A Slave 4 U" but it's dull
2
New Found Glory
They'll have 6 Top 75s but this is the only Top 40 for this US rock band: this seems and big standard example of its genre
2
Natural
Only hit for this US boyband: this seems like a Backstreet Boys imitation and pop has already moved on from that sound

1 hour ago, Jaz13music said: A top 40 looks much better as it takes in more recent releases ……but Mr Brightside has snuck in too I notice 🤣
That would be a good challenge - to find a rolling chart where “Mr Brightside” isn’t in the Top 40. I suspect you’d have to go back a few years.

Jamieson’s time in the competition is complete. This became the second consecutive #4 hit for the garage producer in August 2003. The track features a vocalist called Xara, and does feel forgotten for a hit of its size with only around 0.5 million Spotify streams.
8th: Jaimeson - Complete 10/31 votes (32%)

58 minutes ago, Jade said: ‘Reach’ is good fun though - a euphoric top 2 in general
Including one of Bon Jovi’s best songs it was a stellar all new dance / pop / rock Top 3.

13 minutes ago, Jaz13music said: Thanks for the positive feedback!
Yes, I would love to do it regularly.
When I looked at a rolling chart more frequently I realised that movement in rankings was almost glacial (like the end of year chart is by December) so felt that quarterly was the most useful, I don’t know if you’d agree?
Ah, that’s the one I was most unsure about.
So what would you estimate sales up to week 13 to be? Would maybe put it at 19th or 20th. I can edit the list with your help if so?
Quarterly sounds great. I’d guess 80k for “Fortnight” in Q1.
9 minutes ago, gasman449 said: Am I right in guessing Anxiety is now above Who? If so what a fall off!
Yes! I was obviously overestimating it in the weeks straight after it left the chart. It’s at least above “Slow It Down” which I have on 192.5k so helpfully that places it quite narrowly this week.
