This week sees Patrick Wolf manage a third week on top, holding off Laura Veirs for the second week running. Bat For Lashes reaches a new peak at #3 though, a future #1 perhaps? Stefy are the major movers in the top 10 as they shoot up 20 places to #7 while Erasure and Bloc Party also move into the top slots. A couple of records loom menacingly just outside the top 10, the first being the highest climber from Mark Ronson - 'Stop Me' looks set to be a hit here as well as in the real UK charts. The second is this week's highest new entry from Bjork - 'Earth Intruders' storms into the top 20 despite me only hearing it for the first time on Friday evening, in the process she ruins the mid-week highest new entry position for Malcolm Middleton who still enters at a more than respectable #17. The other new entries are lower down as usual, Arctic Monkeys get a second hit on my chart (I Bet That... made #3 in 2005) while their are chart debuts for Robyn, Cherry Ghost, Ejectorseat and New Young Pony Club.

On the albums front this week, it's a debut at the top for the new Low album 'Drums And Guns'. One of the best albums I've heard in quite some time, it's minimal effects proving very strong and could be here for the long haul. In the process they deny Modest Mouse a #1 comeback as they settle for second spot. Laura Veirs slips to third while The Sounds hold steady at #4.

07: 08 - 05 Calvin Harris "Acceptable In The 80s" 49-18-07-01-02-05-08 (7 weeks) again, only heard in shops. good potential though, will get hold of it for charting this week
08: 09 - 07 The Knife "Marble House" 38-19-08-04-01-01-01-02-04-05-07-09 (12 weeks) narrowly missed out on top 10, good song

09: 15 - 08 The Gossip "Standing In The Way Of Control" 42-31-25-16-10-06-04-07-07-08-15 (11 weeks) peaked at #4 for me too, although i prefer the soulwax nite version
**: 16 - 28 The Good The Bad & The Queen "Green Fields" 28-16 (2 weeks)
06: 18 - 14 Air "Once Upon A Time" 47-35-24-22-18-14-18 (7 weeks)

21 - 10 Arcade Fire "Keep The Car Running" 45-30-21-15-09-06-05-06-10-21 (10 weeks)
Very good song, but around the median quality for their album. Hopefully Intervention will fare better

30 - NE Arctic Monkeys "Brianstorm" 30 (1 week)
"Formulaic, but it's a good formula", as Jade described it. Will probably be their 2nd #1 in my chart.


**: this is on a playlist i'm going through now, will update later ;D
So far: 61/90... decent but I think it'd be higher if I had some of the "??" songs; I always seem to be a few weeks behind you
