if i knew more of your chart i could be halfway towards having an opinion of it

[Admin]

It's BACK!!!

[EarlPurple]

it's never been away

well it was being posted on VL. But don't expect it to be posted on time every week when I'm in the USA. I am, however, trying to arrange that Carol buys my music for me, records it and sends the CDs out to me, and if I have internet access I should be able to publish my chart regularly albeit one week behind.

[Melian]

I know and like:

1 ( 2 ) Step Into My Office Baby - Belle And Sebastian < 2nd #1 hit >
4 ( 13 ) Maybe That's What It Takes - Alex Parks

21 ( 6 ) Bad Day - REM (#2[1])

[Thor]

any response to my comprehensive review?

[EarlPurple]

From your comprehensive review you seem to only know the ones that reached the UK chart.

[Thor]

well spotted, how true

[Admin]

When are you off to the usa and why nm??

[enya]

I only know a few, and of those few I only like these:

But Robbie Williams? Shane Ritchie? GARETH GATES??

[Stewie]

Very good chart, my chart about 3 years ago would have looked something like that. But I don't really get the chance to listen to indie music anymore

1 ( 2 ) Step Into My Office Baby - Belle And Sebastian < 2nd #1 hit >
would like to here this, I've got two of their albums, can't remember on top of my head what their called but ones red? and the others blue?

4 ( 13 ) Maybe That's What It Takes - Alex Parks
very nice song

5 ( 7 ) Sexed Up - Robbie Williams
brilliant song, the best release from the album IMO

10 ( 4 ) Maybe - Emma Bunton (#4)
Brilliant song

12 ( 8 ) Fugitive Motel - Elbow (#8)
used to like them, got their first album? it's brilliant

13 ( 12 ) Sentimental - Kym Marsh (#12)
very nice song

14 ( 14 ) I'm Coming With Ya - Matt Goss not bad at all

24 ( 25 ) Since I Told You It's Over - Stereophonics
brilliant song, this got to no.2 in my chart... is 24 it's peak?

27 ( 29 ) Only A Boy - Tim Burgess
very good song, love the charlatans

32 ( -- ) Let Go With The Flow - Beautiful South
haven't heard it

34 ( 20 ) Slow - Kylie (#20)
brilliant song, should have got higher!!!

36 ( 34 ) Born Again - Starsailor (#34)
brilliant album

41 ( -- ) Life For Rent - Dido
very good song

42 ( -- ) Leave Right Now - Will Young
my current no.1

50 ( -- ) Hysteria - Muse
I love this song as do I love Muse, brilliant band, think I've seen them about 4 times now

Brilliant chart mate

[EarlPurple]

Thanks for all the replies!

Shane Richie and Gareth Gates are not actually in my chart, they are among the bubblers.

Stereophonics are still climbing but having gone up just one place and with the single having been around for quite a long time, it might well drop.

The charts will go a bit stagnant over the next few weeks, and I'm hoping that when I do go to the USA I will be able to compile just 1 week behind, but that might not happen - it would depend if I can get sufficient internet access to get the messages to Carol as to what to buy, or to buy them myself online, and then if she is capable of working out how to record them onto a CD, and then how quickly I will receive them in the mail.

If for some reason I cannot get any of the music sent to me then I would probably fall 6 weeks behind then catch them back by compiling 2 charts a week.
