* NM singles charts, October 2009 *

3 songs in your top 20 made the real top 20 thats not a bad ratio, just 3 in my top 20 as well although a few of my pre-releases should go top 20 in the next couple of weeks ie Editors, Biffy Clyro and Mr Hudson.

Aqua was hurt by Itunes blocking its video up until the week before it came out. Aqua are a videos band without that promotion it struggled, but the Aqua best of charted though.

After what seemed like ages but was actually only 3 weeks of Wallis Bird (well it climbed there very slowly) we have a new #1. The Raveonettes first appeared a few years back with That New Love Sound and it reached the UK top 40 but now they've moved to a smaller record label and don't stand any chance of getting any recognition by the radio anymore, a shame because their song is very much more "pop" than TGLS.

In doing so they become the second artist this year to get to #1 having had previous hits but no #1s prior to the year - Milk Kan were the other a few weeks ago. They are the second Danish act proper to top the chart with Alphabeat being the first last year and Alphabeat only scrape into the chart this week. Metallica are sort-of part Danish and had a #1 in 2008 as well (after Alphabeat). Aqua have never had an NM #1 but at least their recent hit went top 10. I think Whigfield scraped my chart once and the name of the artist at #89 reminds me of another novelty Danish hit that reached my chart 8 years ago (peaking at #5 in fact! And the artist who was #1 that week enters this week as well at #95).

Just missing out on the top spot are (The) Law, who have peaked at #2 before, in 2007 with Milk And Honey. I will compile a list of all the acts who have had two or more NM #2s during the 00s but no #1s (ever, even before the decade). Death Cab For Cutie are among that list too.

The version I have of The Chase is the full version which is over 5 minutes long. It ends with a really nice bit that reminds me a bit of Ooberman. Without that bit I don't think it would have got as high as #2.

I didn't see another Mando Diao song, but they've been having hits in my chart for years.

Due to the fact that charts are dated on Saturdays, this is the chart for 31 October 2009. It therefore goes in this topic. The next chart will be the first November one.

Sometimes I think the size of the chart puts people off reading it, but I have so many songs on the playlist that if it were any smaller I would have to exclude even more than I do now. A-Ha who had a huge #3 earlier this year are only a bubbler, as are Wave Pictures who had a #1 last year and another top 5 hit earlier this year. Pink and Biffy Clyro failed to even make the bubblers, actually they were the next two after the ones listed, but I compile a top 130 in reality made up of the previous week's top 100 and the top 30 of the new releases, and the listed bubblers are those that made it into that top 130. Pink came in 31st and Biffy 32nd which actually meant Biffy were exactly midway of the 63 songs I actually had on it - originally 66 but 3 got eliminated.

Let's have a quick look at those that did make it: Lisa Mitchell has had her name appear on this before - but only as a bubbler and that on the first chart of the new year, usually a bad time for releases. She is similar to Olivia Newton John in that she was born in the UK then moved to Australia when she was very young. Her music is completely different though, more like Regina Spektor. She even went in for Australian Idol in 2006 (do they really have to have that?). She came 6th. (Robert Allen came 6th in the UK one that year. I don't even remember him). Chico had performed one original song on the X-Factor in 2005, Lisa Mitchell performed 2 in Australian Idol (and probably a lot lot better than It's Chico Time). She actually got eliminated after singing a Veronicas song.

Close behind is another Australian duetting with a Brit - Daniel Merriweather and Adele - so it's been a good week for the Aussies. It was actually a close call at the top and of course the one that enters highest isn't guaranteed to be the one who does best as we found out with Polly Scattergood earlier in the year twice - Other Too Endless was not the highest new entry on its week (Take That actually were) but got to #1, whilst Please Don't Touch entered as the highest entry on its week but a single that entered lower (Oxymoron by 11:59) beat it to #1. Water And A Flame really is a good song, albeit rather sad, and I'm rather surprised not to see it in the UK chart.

3rd highest new entry - Orianthi - is also Australian. So the top 3 entries this week are all by Australian or part-Australian acts! By the way, 11:59 are also Australian. Punchline this week drops out of the top 10 to #11 having peaked at #2. It has peaked a position higher than Please Don't Touch did, the significance being who will get the best 2nd placed hit in the chart of the year.
Mika has also had two top 3 hits this year.

Found it its on a compilation called 'Songs From The Point!', Its a Harry Nilsson covers album, dont think Nada Surf is a single but if it is can you tell where you found out?

Oh BTW My chart has a bubblers list of around 50 songs and I only publish the top 20. I could do a top 100 easy, nobody but me needs to know these as what is the value in it,absolutely nothing. tbh there isnt much value below the Top 20 main chart for most readers.

Last Dance is really just "tagging on", I never play it, I always play Bang!. Similarly I never played Who Broke Susan Boyle once the single entered my chart, nor Wild Blue Milk (Slow Club). Only Mika's #1 from earlier in this year did I actually play more than one of the songs regularly. I also played both Regina Spektor songs Laughing With / Blue Lips and also Boy Least Likely To a lot earlier this year with Every Goliath Has His David and Balloon On A Broken String.

Alphabeat Backwards had 80s Pop Video listed, it was out the same week as Aqua's Back To The 80s, which was confusing. Both feature male and female vocals too but the comparisons really end there. Alphabeat Backwards are more in the style of Kabeedies / Slow Club / Los Campesinos etc.
