I now have access to the latest sounds so I am planning to compile the charts on Thursday, Monday and Thursday. I am only one chart behind right now so I will only need to compile one "midweek" catch-up chart.

I don't know if it's just that I haven't heard them as much, but it seemed to me that the week of 26 July (the week's releases of the chart above) was a strong week but 2 August and 9 August were both extremely poor with maybe only a couple of decent songs each (eg the Libertines on 9 August).

Radio Earl Purple is also up and broadcasting, though right now I am concentrating more on new songs than the charts because I want to hear them.

Nice to see this back, good break?
Good to see Modest Mouse climbing, sad to see Busted in there.

Usually when there is a double A-side, my radio station plays both sides during the countdown.

But the plan is to only play "Thunderbirds Are Go" by Busted. One Busted song is enough...

Modest Mouse sound a lot to me like Stellastarr.

'3am' is better though

Modest Mouse sound a lot to me like Stellastarr.

Don't really see the similarity, tbh. But I don't think I've heard enough songs by each band yet...
