Well I guess you're relieved, Elvis no longer at #1. Still the good news is that he did enter the chart with "Crying In The Chapel" - oh well it seemed appropriate with the Pope dying.

[Admin]

Now that is a GREAT #1! ;D

Have they charted before?

[Earl Purple]

Yes, this is their second NM hit. Their first hit "The Execution Of All Things" peaked at #12 late in 2003.

The two Comic Relief songs make their way into the top 5 - for McFly their #4 beats their previous best, having had two #5 hits in 2004. Tony Christie has featured on an NM #1, the All Seeing I's "Walk Like A Panther".

hmm not as high a percentage as a few months ago, maybe you should have (these would be included without Elvis list) hehe

[Earl Purple]

The relatively slow drop by the Wedding Present has been partly caused by me seeing them live on 6th April, thus on 2nd April chart they fell only from 11 to 13 and this week only to 21 (on this chart you might have expected bigger falls). The single has been so far 10 weeks in the chart and is the #1 of the year so far but with the points system I don't think it is likely to hold onto it.

The Wonder Of You was placed #6 in my #1s of all time - not sure why I placed that one highest among the Elvis singles, it came very late in his career. So you might expect it to do the best in this chart, but I don't think it will. Top 10 perhaps but the B-sides aren't so strong - one of them is a cover of Let It Be Me (Everly Brothers song, which was also a hit for Justin a few years ago). The other is "Mama Liked The Roses", and I'm actually preferring the ones that are not so well known, eg Devil In Disguise.
