:: COMMENTARY ::
Arcade Fire swap places with Rilo Kiley this week to climb up to number one, and they do so as one of three risers, all moving up by one place. Maximo Park return to their peak position of #4, ahead of the two highest new entries. Thirdly, Garbage rise for a second week in succession, and have now caught back up with the other three remaining FragChart v2 ever-presents.
The two new entries had a very close battle, but in the end the first single from Alfie's new album beat the first single from Mew's new album (I hope) to get the last place in the top 5. On the strength of those two songs, that's two new albums I ought to be getting soon.
Elsewhere, nobody really falls very far - the biggest faller was 'Kick You Out', slipping five places from its entry position of 10.
Three former ever-presents drop out this week, but the remaining four look like being safe for another week at least... in other news, A have failed in their third and final attempt to get into the chart. They would have peaked last week at #21. Texas also fail to chart, mainly because I only got hold of the song this morning. They get another go next week.

A solid enough chart - although the inclusion of Foos and Feeder is a let down for me. Not sure why but I've just never "clicked" with those groups. They've had a couple of decent singles I think but never really felt the need to investigate further.

Two different stories for me here.
Feeder are one of the bands that got me into "proper" music (Buck Rogers), and have been one of my favourites for some time. I have all of their albums, but feel their earlier stuff (except for the 'Swim' album) is better, although they have made a return to form with the current album, and I'm anticipating their seventh album to be one of their best yet.

As for the Foos, I'm less keen. The only album of theirs I have is 'One By One', which is alright, but contains many average indie/rock songs. But I was impressed with this single.

I think they're probably examples of the slight differences in our music tastes, as we seem to have a fair bit in common
