3 3 Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons - Electric Flame VIDEO (2 weeks; peak #3)

Video is like a modern spin on Highlander! With magic Scots queen Lauren.

Their best of the synth period so far is a pop ballad.

I would post the live show clip of this with Jack Antonoff of .Fun / Bleachers but it's been removed (no surprise). And they weren't the only awards she won this week, here she is accepting an NME Award with a statuette suitable for Kanye West.

MY HITS CHART 12th FEBRUARY 2016
1 1 School Of Seven Bells - Ablaze AUDIO STREAM VIDEO (3 weeks; peak #1) 2 WEEKS AT #1!
Still waiting for Secret Machines fans from Retro (UKMix Retro Chart) to comment on this. :cry:
2 NEW Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons - Hurricane VIDEO 3 NEW Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons - Electric Flame VIDEO 4 NEW Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons - Athens VIDEO
Discovered this Americana group on BBC Radio Scotland playlist. Talk about hidden away! They're from the US itself and are so much more than that genre tag suggests. There are elements of Rilo Kiley, Nico Vega, Miranda Lambert. Gutsy and rootsy and she's an amazing talent.
5 2 Kitten - Fall On Me VIDEO (4 weeks; peak #1) Now out to buy. Mini album on pre-order.
6 3 Nina Nesbitt - Chewing Gum VIDEO / Take You To Heaven / Masquerade (demo) (Modern Love EP) (5 weeks; peak #2) 7 8 The Chemical Brothers with Beck - Wide Open VIDEO (11 weeks; peak #7) Back to its original peak! This is proving to be one of their longest-lasting entries on my chart (will check later).
8 4 Ray LaMontagne - Hey, No Pressure AUDIO STREAM VIDEO (3 weeks; peak #4) Surprised at lack of comments on this. Though i guess he has no fans left on the forums - or they don't know he's back?
9 NEW Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons - Your Love VIDEO Their brand new video.
10 7 The Jezabels - Pleasure Drive VIDEO (language) (4 weeks; peak #5) Eurythmics.
11 5 Jessy Lanza - It Means I Love You VIDEO (3 weeks; peak #5) Bjork, Roisin Murphy.
12 NEW ARO - Cocaine Style VIDEO
Aimee Rachel Osbourne's second single is more evidence that Lana's followers are doing it better than she is right now.
13 6 Bonnie McKee - Wasted Youth VIDEO / Easy / Bombastic (4 weeks; peak #3) Where's the Katy Perry fans? Not looking at my chart, obviously cause i've seen Bonnie chart before (on UKMix). :cry:
14 NEW Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons - I Don't Wanna Be Your Fool SPOTIFY AUDIO STREAM The song i saw on Radio Scotland's playlist.
15 NEW DIIV - Under The Sun AUDIO STREAM VIDEO So Sky Ferreira's other half Zachary Cole now charts higher than her with the first ever entry for DIIV (or "Dive").
16 NEW Mogwai - Ether AUDIO STREAM VIDEO From the doc film Atomic which was broadcast on TV already but the soundtrack album is still forthcoming. Beautiful.
17 18 Niki and The Dove - So Much It Hurts VIDEO (2 weeks; PEAK) The video is also on their Vevo in some countries (not UK). Take your pick depending on what's available.
18 9 Taylor Swift - Out Of The Woods (22 weeks; peak #1) 19 12 Mr Oizo with Charli XCX - Hand In The Fire (10 weeks; peak #5) 20 15 Allie X - Old Habits Die Hard (2 weeks; peak #15) 21 14 Lacey Sturm - Impossible (3 weeks; peak #14) 22 16 Hannah Diamond - Hi (2 weeks; peak #16) 23 10 Zayn - PillowTalk (3 weeks; peak #10) 24 NEW GoGo Penguin - All Res VIDEO 25 11 Eric Prydz with Rob Swire - Breathe (3 weeks; peak #11) 26 NEW OK Go - Upside Down and Inside Out VIDEO Another clever video - this one filmed on a zero gravity airline. They refused to put it on YouTube due to dispute over charges.
27 19 Enya - Even In The Shadows (2 weeks; peak #19) 28 17 Gin Wigmore with Suffa and Logic - Willing To Die (5 weeks; peak #15) 29 20 Primal Scream with Sky Ferreira - Where The Light Gets In (2 weeks; peak #20) 30 NEW Equador - Blood VIDEO (nudity) Trio featuring Henry Binns from Zero 7 and Bo Bruce.
31 NEW Little Big Town - Tumble and Fall AUDIO STREAM VIDEO Now on Radio 2 playlist. Very "smooth radio" / AOR compared to their other stuff.
32 NEW DIIV - Bent (Roi's Song) LIVE VIDEO 33 RE Foxes - If You Leave Me Now (6 weeks; peak #7) 34 RE Foxes - Body Talk (15 weeks; peak #1) 35 NEW Santigold - Banshee AUDIO STREAM VIDEO First release from upcoming third album i've liked. Doesn't bode well. :cry:
36 13 David Bowie - Lazarus (5 weeks; peak #3) 37 21 Purity Ring - Heartsigh (9 weeks; peak #2) 38 24 Tame Impala - Yes, I'm Changing (10 weeks; peak #3) 39 25 Chairlift - Crying In Public (6 weeks; peak #8) 40 26 Massive Attack with Roots Manuva - Dead Editors / Massive Attack with Young Fathers - Voodoo In My Blood / Massive Attack with Tricky - Take It There / Massive Attack with Azekel - Ritual Spirit (Ritual Spirit EP) (3 weeks; peak #14)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
MY ALBUM CHART 12th FEBRUARY 2016
1 NEW Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons - Homemade Vision SPOTIFY
The just-released new album.
2 NEW Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons - Hey Kid SPOTIFY
3 NEW The Jezabels - Synthia SPOTIFY
More synth-based than before and more diminishing returns on third full-length but still great. Charting a week early due to pre-release stream on Pandora. Worth checking their Spotify commentary for some of the quickest and funniest round-ups you'll ever hear! Sample quote: "Liam Gallagher... wouldn't know darkness if he fell into a black hole!" :lol:
4 NEW Kid Kasio - Sit and Wait SPOTIFY
This came out November so i missed the actual release. Second full length set of 80's style synth pop from Nathan Cooper formerly of The Modern / Matinee Club.
5 NEW Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons - Nowhere Is Now Here (MA) SPOTIFY 6 NEW Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons - Fireside (MA) SPOTIFY 7 NEW Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons - Yellow Moon (MA) SPOTIFY 8 NEW DIIV - Is The Is Are SPOTIFY
80' / 90's shoegaze / indie rock revival. Much better than the noise they did before. Though the track with Sky Ferreira is rather slight and pointless. 9 NEW GoGo Penguin - Man Made Object SPOTIFY
Second album of Lamb-ish (sans vocals) jazztronica from Mercury nominated UK trio. Still waiting for Kuba (on UKMix) to get into them.
10 NEW Foxes - All I Need SPOTIFY
It's a shame she's so inconsistent. Some of this album is by-the-numbers corporate pop - some of it (like my number one song Body Talk) is brilliant. It's perhaps better than the first album but she has even less of an artistic identity than she had then. Weirdly the deluxe edition is the one most widely available and is the only one that has the title track (and some of the best tracks!). Dedicated fans or fans of nipples will buy both. Trivia: members of Semisonic and The Kane Gang are involved in this as well as Liam Howe (Marina), Babyface(!), Dan Smith (Bastille), Jim Eliot (Kylie, Ladyhawke), Rick Nowels (Madge, Lana) and Jonas Quant (Hurts) .
Top ten wipeout!!
11 2 Chairlift - Moth (3 weeks; peak #1) 12 1 Stephen Rennicks - Room (OST) (2 weeks; peak #1) 13 3 Georg Holm, Orri Pall Dyrason, Hilmar Orn Hilmarsson and Kjartan Holm - Circe: Music composed for The Show Of Shows (OST) (2 weeks; peak #3) 14 4 Suede - Night Thoughts (3 weeks; peak #2) 15 5 David Bowie - Blackstar (5 weeks; peak #1) 16 6 This Will Destroy You - Another Language (2 weeks; peak #6) 17 NEW Wet - Don't You SPOTIFY Lauded alt r and b outfit that are a bit Banks but more sedate - a bit too sedate for my liking. The track Body i like a lot, though. This review sums up their problem for me. Chairlift's Patrick Wimberley is involved on two tracks which is why i checked it in full.
18 NEW Chris Isaak - First Comes The Night SPOTIFY Too often has you asking "what's the point in being an impersonator?". If you like this you're better off with Orbison and Cash the real deals.
19 13 Skunk Anansie - Anarchytecture (4 weeks; peak #2) 20 RE Kitten - Kitten (30 weeks; peak #1)

13 7 David Bowie - Lazarus (4 weeks; peak #3) 14 18 Lacey Sturm - Impossible (2 weeks; PEAK) 15 NEW Allie X - Old Habits Die Hard AUDIO STREAM VIDEO 16 NEW Hannah Diamond - Hi VIDEO Two female synth acts return.

MY ALBUM CHART 5th FEBRUARY 2016

MY HITS CHART 29th JANUARY 2016
1 1 Kitten - Fall On Me VIDEO (2 weeks; peak #1)
This would have been toppled by this unreleased classic synth track i discovered called Submarine. One of the best things they've done, this had better see a release - at it is it's just a fan uploaded...
NON-CHART EXTRA SONG: Kitten - Submarine AUDIO STREAM VIDEO and here's another shot of beautiful Chloe Chaidez who basically IS Kitten these days.
2 NEW School Of Seven Bells - Ablaze AUDIO STREAM VIDEO
"When he died i fell apart". :cry: Stunning dream pop that harks back to Curve. Alejandra Deheza's tribute to Benjamin Curtis who died in 2013 but who provided music for this - their final album. So it joins Bowie's elegy / death prediction in the top ten as another piece of music that stands as a testimony after their passing.
3 2 Nina Nesbitt - Chewing Gum VIDEO (3 weeks; peak #2)
4 3 Bonnie McKee - Wasted Youth VIDEO / Easy / Bombastic VIDEO (2 weeks; peak #3)
So the song Bombastic would have moved up on its own to the top ten this week. Clearly she's not shy!
5 6 The Jezabels - Pleasure Drive VIDEO (language) (2 weeks; PEAK) 6 4 Taylor Swift - Out Of The Woods VIDEO (20 weeks; peak #1) 7 5 David Bowie - Lazarus VIDEO (3 weeks; peak #3) 8 NEW Ray LaMontagne - Hey, No Pressure AUDIO STREAM VIDEO
SHOCK ENTRY #1. Atmospheric relaxed smoky blues rock with layers of texture from what looks like a progressive rock album, you would never guess it was the Trouble guy.
9 NEW Jessy Lanza - It Means I Love You VIDEO
Alternative dance from Canada. If you like Roisin Murphy, Bjork...
10 RE The Chemical Brothers with Beck - Wide Open VIDEO (9 weeks; peak #7)
Bit late releasing the video after the single and 6 Music playlisting have been and gone! Though there's still time for other stations to catch up.
11 NEW Zayn - PillowTalk VIDEO (erotic content)
SHOCK ENTRY #2! I never charted One Direction but this is in a different category. More like The Weeknd with a sensual video starring his girlfriend the model Gigi Hadid. Nothing to do with the Le Grind song i charted recently.
12 NEW Eric Prydz with Rob Swire - Breathe AUDIO STREAM VIDEO SHOCK ENTRY #3! I've never charted Prydz either but this sounds unusually cool and with a touch of Jean-Michel Jarre. Pendulum singer's presence may have helped!
13 7 Purity Ring - Heartsigh (7 weeks; peak #2) 14 NEW Massive Attack with Roots Manuva - Dead Editors / Massive Attack with Young Fathers - Voodoo In My Blood / Massive Attack with Tricky - Take It There VIDEO / Massive Attack with Azekel - Ritual Spirit (Ritual Spirit EP) EP SPOTIFY AUDIO STREAM Original member Tricky reunites with 3D for that track. The title track is the weakest on it.
15 8 Tame Impala - Yes, I'm Changing (8 weeks; peak #3) 16 9 Mr Oizo with Charli XCX - Hand In The Fire (8 weeks; peak #5) 17 11 Chairlift - Crying In Public (4 weeks; peak #8) 18 NEW Lacey Sturm - Impossible AUDIO STREAM VIDEO Former Flyleaf singer back on the alt rock.
19 12 David Bowie - Blackstar (3 weeks; peak #12) 20 NEW Wild Nothing - To Know You / TV Queen "Living Album Art" Joint VIDEO 21 13 Night Moves - Denise, Don't Wanna See You Cry (2 weeks; peak #13) 22 NEW Suede - Pale Snow VIDEO 23 NEW Suede - No Tomorrow VIDEO (distressing content) 24 15 Chairlift - Romeo (9 weeks; peak #2) 25 10 Team Me - June (4 weeks; peak #7) 26 16 A Thousand Horses - First Time (3 weeks; peak #11) 27 17 School Of Seven Bells - On My Heart (3 weeks; peak #16) 28 26 Underworld - I Exhale VIDEO (flashing imagery) (2 weeks; peak #26) 29 19 Mary Lambert with K.Flay - Ribcage (2 weeks; peak #19) 30 NEW Hollie Stephenson - Pointless Rebellion VIDEO 18 year old singer / songwriter mentored by Dave Stewart.
31 22 Margaret Berger - Apologize (2 weeks; peak #22) 32 23 Riton with Kah-Lo - Rinse and Repeat LIVE SET FOR RADIO 1 (2 weeks; peak #23) 33 NEW Suede - Like Kids VIDEO 34 14 Purity Ring - Begin Again (8 weeks; peak #14) 35 27 JoJo - Save My Soul LIVE ACOUSTIC VIDEO (6 weeks; peak #15) 36 28 Selena Gomez - Hands To Myself (2 weeks; peak #28) 37 NEW Suede - Outsiders VIDEO 38 20 Mylene Farmer - City Of Love (6 weeks: peak #7) 39 21 Alex Winston - The Day I Died (16 weeks; peak #2) 40 24 Anohni (Antony) - 4 Degrees (7 weeks; peak #9)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
MY ALBUM CHART 29th JANUARY 2016
1 NEW Chairlift - Moth SPOTIFY
Not as amazing as Something but still deserved to do better than it has. Working with Beyonce may have rubbed off on them as some tracks have a 70s r and b feel.
2 NEW Suede - Night Thoughts SPOTIFY
Much better than the previous album and they're even helping to dislodge their hero...
3 1 David Bowie - Blackstar (3 weeks; peak #1) 4 2 Skunk Anansie - Anarchytecture (2 weeks; peak #2) 5 3 The Anchoress - Confessions Of A Romance Novelist (2 weeks; peak #3) 6 NEW Vulkano - Iridescence SPOTIFY 7 NEW Coasts - Coasts SPOTIFY 8 NEW Savages - Adore Life SPOTIFY 9 5 Chvrches - Every Open Eye (19 weeks; peak #1) 10 6 Cam - Untamed (7 weeks; peak #1) 11 4 Marina and The Diamonds - Froot (39 weeks; peak #1) 12 7 Jesus Culture - Let It Echo (live) (2 weeks; peak #7) 13 NEW Tindersticks - The Waiting Room SPOTIFY 14 RE David Bowie - Earthling (5 weeks; peak #3) 15 NEW Tricky presents Skilled Mechanics - Tricky presents Skilled Mechanics SPOTIFY

MY HITS CHART 22nd JANUARY 2016
1 NEW Kitten - Fall On Me SOUNDCLOUD AUDIO STREAM

Nice to see the name Denise featured in a song again.
14 RE Purity Ring - Begin Again VIDEO (7 weeks; PEAK) Belated video for single from a year ago. Beats previous peak by one place.
15 10 Chairlift - Romeo (8 weeks; peak #2) 16 11 A Thousand Horses - First Time (2 weeks; peak #11) 17 16 School Of Seven Bells - On My Heart (2 weeks; peak #16) 18 1 Ryan Adams - Out Of The Woods (14 weeks; peak #1) :lol:
19 NEW Mary Lambert with K.Flay - Ribcage VIDEO Angel Haze is barely featured so gets no credit from me on this hip-hop flavoured track.
20 12 Mylene Farmer - City Of Love (5 weeks: peak #7) 21 13 Alex Winston - The Day I Died (15 weeks; peak #2) 22 NEW Margaret Berger - Apologize AUDIO STREAM VIDEO (language) 23 NEW Riton with Kah-Lo - Rinse and Repeat AUDIO STREAM VIDEO 24 14 Anohni (Antony) - 4 Degrees (6 weeks; peak #9) 25 15 The 1975 - The Sound (2 weeks; peak #15) 26 NEW Underworld - I Exhale SPOTIFY AUDIO STREAM 27 18 JoJo - Save My Soul (5 weeks; peak #15) 28 NEW Selena Gomez - Hands To Myself VIDEO 29 17 Twinnie - Cool (3 weeks; peak #14) 30 20 Marina Kaye - Homeless (12 weeks; peak #1)

3 NEW David Bowie - Lazarus VIDEO
4 3 Purity Ring - Heartsigh VIDEO (5 weeks; peak #2) 5 NEW Nina Nesbitt - Chewing Gum VIDEO

MY ALBUM CHART 15th JANUARY 2016

HITS
1 Marina and The Diamonds - Immortal
My very first #1 of 2015 metaphorically stayed on top the entire year as it ends up beating her other three contenders! A vast improvement on the Froot title track which was my #100 of 2014 and the over-rated ballad Happy. What a turnaround! A great lyric about mortality set against a trip-hoppy beat. You know, alternative radio could have had this but no... they gush over Everything Everything... :x :x First time an artist has had my YE top 4!
ALBUMS
1 Marina and The Diamonds - Froot SPOTIFY
What else could it be? In fact, my top two albums were the most obvious there's ever been. Both have been longstayers and companions on my album chart. On this album, Marina streamlined herself by writing the whole thing while still being pop. With musician help from members of Everything Everything, The Cure and Fyfe Dangerfield, it too was near perfect. Highlights include the social commentary of Savages and Weeds and the provocative Better Than That which is allegedly about serial "whore" Ellie Goulding sleeping with Marina's DJ ex behind her back.
Thanks for commenting /clicking. See you next year!

2 Marina and The Diamonds - I'm A Ruin
And this one also got to #3 yet it beats that position on the YE! :lol: A UKMix / Haven fave, it's a shame radio completely ignored it/her. Yes, we know she wasn't going for that angle this time, but all kinds of other promotional tracks got airplay on major stations yet not a single one showed support for this/her. :evil: :cry: The video is like a cheapo of Madonna's Frozen! :lol: Well.... she had no money, who cares? It's Marina, b****!
ALBUMS
2 Charli XCX - Sucker SPOTIFY
Thank God this woman gets airplay. Saving grace of the pop charts, real attitude, real personality, writes her own stuff and ropes in all the cool people (Ariel Rechtshaid and Patrick Berger joined by Vampire Weekend's Rostam, Greg Kurstin and some Rita woman). I waited patiently for the delayed UK release and here it is, playing second fiddle to her old mate...

3 Marina and The Diamonds - Forget
Great pop song and a great video. Love the way she says "tortoise"! :lol: Only peaked at #3 on my chart - but she was in competition with herself...!
ALBUMS
3 Chvrches - Every Open Eye SPOTIFY
The first album was short on truly great songs and didn't live up to their promise but this one upped the ante on the pop quotient and is almost perfect.

4 Marina and The Diamonds - Blue
Marina's fave from her album and a lovely pop song that grows and grows on you.
ALBUMS
4 Bjork - Vulnicura SPOTIFY
I never expected her to make music this good again. A stunning return to form - inspired by the immense pain of her breakup with Matthew Barney. The strings and beats feel from Homogenic pushed to the max with help from producer Arca.

HITS
5 Bjork - Stonemilker
Heartbreaking string and beats epic - a cousin to Joga. Neat 360 degree video (first of its kind and since copied).
ALBUMS
5 Meg Myers - Sorry SPOTIFY
After the wait, it was slightly disappointing. Less rock, a bit too much on the side of electronic pop, some EP songs included while the great Go isn't. But she's still in fine voice and feisty spirit and i wish more people would just click.
TOP 4 COMING LATER TONIGHT.

HITS
6 Chvrches - Clearest Blue
An instant keyboard pop classic, like Erasure with female vocals. Hopefully will be a single proper this year (and it will have to be a bonus like Taylor's video!).
ALBUMS
6 Sleaford Mods - Key Markets SPOTIFY
It may not have been quite the fave with critics as Divide and Exit (or even been nominated for a Mercury - travesty :evil: :evil: ) but i thought it was more accomplished, better produced and just the breath of foul air modern music needs.

HITS
7 Foxes - Body Talk
By far her greatest song, an eighties synth classic similar to Groove Armada / Ladyhawke.
ALBUMS
7 Susanne Sundfor - Ten Love Songs SPOTIFY
I loved her work with M83 and Royksopp but her solo stuff tended to be a bit too folky/obtuse. That changed with this album and its turbo-charged electronica.

HITS
8 Best Coast - Heaven Sent
Rousing alt rock. Sounds like old Veruca Salt or Voice Of The Beehive.
ALBUMS
8 Team Me - Blind As Night SPOTIFY
Norwegian indie pop with soaring melodies. Sort of filling the gap left by Arcade Fire after they went more electronic/disco. Highest placed album by an act that has missed the Hits list (the title track / The All Time High double a nearly made it).

HITS
9 Ryan Adams - Out Of The Woods
Incredible poignant guitar enhancement of Taylor Swift classic that i had on repeat for days. One play wasn't enough! I already charted the original (at #64 on 2014 list but hitting my weekly #1 just now for the first time) as a US promo single but it now gets a proper worldwide push, the video for the Jack Antonoff (Fun. / Bleachers) co-creation is in the next post as a bonus as i can't really include the same recording in two countdowns...
ALBUMS
9 Yukon Blonde - On Blonde SPOTIFY
That indie / synth pop i mentioned at 49 Hits.

French alt pop.
