If any of you are still buying this, please stop. It takes me ages to spell it right!

A couple of questions....

1) Why all the Guns N Roses?
2) Where did Freefallin' spring from? Has it been used somewhere? It was barely a hit when it first came out!

A very "rock" heavy chart again.

Paradise City is on an advert, Sweet Child O Mine is one of those semi-regular top 200 songs

I have no idea on Tom Petty though

[Smurfie]

I'll blame a Radio 2 prime time playing slot for Tom Petty then.

[ManicKangaroo]

Actually it turns out he performed it at the Superbowl - I think thats probably it

Nice one, tis a good song!

[Smurfie]

I wouldn't have immediately guessed that the Superbowl would have an influence on the chart! But then i'm sure a lot of the UK sports fans may have watched it too. It's not my favourite Tom Petty song I must admit.

Now we need to get someone to use Billy Ocean "Love Really Hurts Without You" somewhere, I'd love to see THAT retro charting!
