Cian'S Monthly Review: June 2012 It's June, and probably due to my holiday in Europe, this month's total plays suffer a further 19% decrease. For the third time in a row a female solo artist tops the chart. This time Paloma Faith maintains Nicki Minaj and Marina & The Diamonds' girl power reign at #1. Paloma Faith is only the 5th female artists to do so (Adele and KT Tunstall being the only other two). Female solo artist have 5 #1s, male solo artists 6 and groups/duos 7. (If Florence & The Machine count as a group). Despite the low total plays this month, Paloma Faith sees the highest % of total plays since March of 2011 when the Vaccines topped the chart with 11% of total plays. B.o.B who has been lurking outside the Top 20 since 2010 finally penetrates the wall of the Top 20 and reaches #2 this month on the back of the album "Strange Clouds". "Out Of My Mind" from that album also made it into the Top 10 songs this month also. After 10 months in the chart, Maroon 5 reach a new peak of 3, thanks to the realease of "Overexposed", the new pop album by Maroon 5. Maroon 5 have never failed to have an album #1 on the weekly charts and I do hope they tour with "Overexposed". 6 former #1s land back in the Top 10 this month Nicki Minaj, Marina & the Diamonds, Jay-Z & Kanye West, Kanye West & Maverick Sabre all climb back into the Top 10, a place where, between the 5 acts, have spend a total of 64 weeks. This month sees the first entrance of Cheryl Cole, Loreen, Fun. & Pernilla Karlsson into the Top 30. Loreen & Pernilla Karlsson see their first week in the Top 300 in the Top 30 which is an achievement earned by very few acts. The Eurovision Song Concert is to be thanked for this achievement. Fun. should be a climber next month with the album "Some Nights" set to be listened to.

Cian'S Monthly Review: May 2012 It's the first monthly review of the summer and the first notable piece of information is the significant 18.464% decrease in overall plays, ending the 3 month on month increase. This month sees very few new entries and plenty of artists jumping up the chart. This month's number 1 sees Marina & The Diamonds climb 27 places on the back of the new album Electra Heart. After 7 months in the chart Marina finally sees the the view from the top. Climbing 18 positions to #2 The Black Keys see the outcome of there album El Camino, after only being played for the first time last month, this is a very quick surge up the chart. Ben Howard jumps back up to #3 as Every Kingdom is still getting regular plays, especially boosted this month thanks to the recently downloaded deluxe edition tracks. Marcus Collins' makes it back into the chart thanks to his debut album which was also played a lot this month. The big hitters were Higher & Higher, Tightrope and Innocence. Unfortunately I do believe that the album was a bit of a let down, and felt very rushed. Florence & The Machine spends her 12 week climbing back into the Top 5, P!nk, R. Kelly, Vampire Weekend, James Vincent McMorrow and Daniel Bedingfield all experience the reminicing effect of the sun as the summery wather always make me want to listen to classic songs. Last years Top 2, Nicki Minaj & Maximo Park, fell to #16 or #23 respectively, maintain their position in the Top 30. Unfortunately for Gotye, he plummeted out of the chart, but I believe he will be showing his face again soon. Finally, Adele makes it back into the the Top 30 for the first time in under the year, the last time Adele was seen was in July 2011 she was positioned 6th.

Over 50. It's mostly promo. If you see a small artist featuring a nig artist you're more likely to listen than if they had a solo credit.

^ This is brilliant. Hopefully it is the first of many!

Great List. The Last Shadow Puppets just missed out. :(.

I think it's useless and I believe it's chart position will reflect that. #23.
