COMMENTS[/i]
Five new entries in the top half of the chart this week - so many quality songs recently that all but 3 of the top 15 have been there for three weeks or less Ash return this week, after just over a year out, and go straight to #1 with download-only single 'Clones', which denies Snow Patrol a record-equalling fifth week at #1. Surely now nobody will beat the record of Feeder. Belle and Sebastian stay at #3, still in strong contention with the top 2. Blink 182 also do very well and score another top 5 hit with 'I Miss You'...
Three débutants join the well-established bands in the top half of the chart aswell this week. Riley's gorgeousnessosity and Goldfrapp's chilledness get them to #7 and #9 respectively, while The Shins are unlucky to go top 10 aswell with 'So Says I' (sp?), entering instead at #13.
With all these high new entries, it's no surprise that all but one of the songs slip from their previous positions this week. 'Fugitive Motel' finally drops out after an incredible 18-week run, which means that the new longest runner is Radiohead's '2+2=5', with 15 weeks and counting in the chart. It has just dropped 5 places to #18. From #18 falls the biggest drop of the week, The Rapture's 'I Need Your Love', slipping 11 places and only just remaining in the chart.
One final new entry down in the dregs of the chart: Love Inc are let in at the 2nd attempt with 'Into The Night', but The Mars Volta must try again next week as 'Televators' takes five minutes to get going and only gets to the fringes of the chart. With a slightly less active week this time around, can it sneak in?

Is there really a band Called RILEY
Please tell me what you know?

[frag]

erm... ask NM

[greendemon]

1 N Clones - Ash - ;D zah! great to see them back, and the heavier sound is working well. can't wait for the album!

4 N I Miss You - Blink 182 - ;D lovely song... they've changed a lot. i liked their album, on first impression.

7 N Sit Up - Riley - ;D very nice, sweet song

9 N Black Cherry - Goldfrapp - ;D calm, chilled and gorgeous. me likes a lot

13 N So Says I - The Shins - whee! poppy 60s goodness!

[Earl Purple]

I have the Riley song and I can send it to anyone who wants it. I sent it to Fragolata last week.

The Shins had a #2 in my chart previously with "Know Your Onion!" in 2002. They're from Alburquerque (sp?) in the USA. (Whenever I hear that name, I always think "hot dog, jumping frog.." ).

I agree that "Black Cherry" is Goldfrapp's best single for a long while. Zero 7 have also entered my chart to give it a more "ambient" feel.

"Train" was also quite good, but not a patch on this...

I have a friend who has got two Zero 7 albums recently... might considering borrowing and/or getting one burned. Sample downloads and single names?

excellent! ;D

Blink 182: yes, their self-titled album is a LOT more mature... really different from their others.

Alex Parks: you should get this album, yeah... I think you'd prefer it to the Blink 182 album. some really good tracks on there, particularly "stones and feathers" and the one that follows it.
