IJ Top 10 (09/03/08)

[Milliways]

A lot of new entries in the UK Top 75 this week, but which of them make the cut, and were any strong enough to overtake Yael and become the 6th IJ#1 of 2008?

1 (1) NEW SOUL - Yael Naim (2nd week at #1)
2 (NEW) TIME TO PRETEND - MGMT
3 (2) FASCINATION - Alphabeat (#2 1wk)
4 (3) SUPERNATURAL SUPERSERIOUS - R.E.M
5 (6) UP ALL NIGHT - Young Knives
6 (NEW) RUN - Amy McDonald
7 (NEW) THE BEGINNING OF THE TWIST - Futureheads
8 (4) YOUNG FREE & SIMPLE - Urbnri (#1 3wks)
9 (5) THAT'S HOW PEOPLE GROW UP - Morrissey (#1 1wk)
10 (NEW) YOUNG LOVE - Mystery Jets


Most of the new entries this week failed to impress, with one standout exception, MGMT. However, it couldn't overcome the carefree loveliness that is 'New Soul', which gets a 2nd week at #1.

MGMT entered my chart last week behind Fascination and Run.

I thought Find The Time by Get Cape Wear Cape Fly might reach your chart.

[Milliways]

Find The Time would probably have sneaked into a Top 20. It's a bit too middle of the road for my liking.

Great top 10

Four of your top 5 are currently in my top 20 (with 3 in my top 6)... the other one I'm playing now, somehow slipped below my radar. Nothing instantly amazing, but we'll see if it grows ;D With so much new material at the moment, I'm having real trouble finding time to listen to it all.
