FragChart ~ Week 430 ~ Sunday 13 July 2008
Congratulations to
Weezer, who made the 250th song to reach my #1 spot. So usually I'd make my milestone #1 my "artist to check out", but I guess that most people who are reading this know the song already. Instead, you get
Rosie Oddie and the Odd Squad, a promising new band with a promising new song.
Also rising in another relatively static week are
the Kooks, and
Paul Heaton, the founder of Beautiful South. Another pop frontperson, Sharleen Spiteri, failed to chart. Meanwhile, we have decent new entries from
Blood Red Shoes,
Travis and
Newton Faulkner, who débuts this week.
ARTIST TO CHECK OUTRosie Oddie and the Odd Squad: Nice riffs.
