Akira The Don stay at #1 - massive lead at the top for the 2nd week in a row. When I compile the chart of the year though it's done on points based on positions, so these things are not reflected and my real #1 of the year is not always the one that comes out #1 in the chart. (That happened, for example, in 2002 when the Mull Historical Society had the points-based #1 of the year while Reel Big Fish had the real #1 of the year).

I don't know what really is the #1 of the year, by the way. Maybe Belle & Sebastian, Iron Maiden, Bell X1 or one of the Morrissey #1s, or the Streets.. Akira The Don could get in there though and the Wedding Present are the most likely to replace them. Interstate 5 due out this week - buy it!

Good to see Ed Harcourt & Tyler James debuting this week

Can I ask what the NM chart is and how it's compiled?

Is it your personal chart or is it compiled from a wider source?

It's only my own. And I don't know why I set the topic as top 50, when it's a top 60. And the date of the chart is 6th November not 7th.

It was called the NM chart before I had the Earl Purple name. It's been called the NM chart for 10 years, the Earl Purple nick I've had only since my CBX days and adopted it late 1999. First used the name officially to post on the CBX message board.

Ah, yes, I remember you mentioning the Earl Purple thing to me ages ago...
