Faultless #1 and 2 - I suspect my chart will feature the same two songs next week too.

Interesting to see that you've charted Insomnia 2005 - I'm undecided on this one, part of me thinks they should have just left the original well alone.

The only other new entry I'm not keen on is the Coldplay track, I think it's awful! Their previous single did grow on me but this one is just so dull.

Overall, there's very little I'd moan about in your chart - am especially pleased to see Elbow, Arcade Fire, Sons & Daughters, Magic Numbers, White Stripes, Goldfrapp, Mylo & The Bravery feature.

yay! top 2's likely to be the same next week, but i'm not sure of the order

that's kinda how i feel about the original of Dr Pressure... if they'd simply rereleased it, it would have got top 5 for sure.
The version of Insomnia I have is fairly different from the original (Bliss vs Armand van Helden rework), but I still think it's good in its own right...

The only other new entry I'm not keen on is the Coldplay track, I think it's awful! Their previous single did grow on me but this one is just so dull.

Coldplay would be about five places lower if it wasn't for the wall-of-sound bit in the middle 8... and I'm the opposite: I think their current one is better than the previous one, which was just bland.

Overall, there's very little I'd moan about in your chart - am especially pleased to see Elbow, Arcade Fire, Sons & Daughters, Magic Numbers, White Stripes, Goldfrapp, Mylo & The Bravery feature.

1 >< 1 Forget Myself – Elbow 2 1 **SECOND WEEK AT #1**

You really like this band. The first song of theirs I heard was "Newborn" which was really long, and then "Any Day Now" which became their first hit in my chart. I never quite got into them as much as you though.

2 NEW Rebellion (Lies) – The Arcade Fire 1 2
A slower one for them and therefore more accessible. I don't know "Cold Wind" though.

5 /\ 8 Martell – Cribs 3 8 [/color]
Another one I like.

6 \/ 5 The One I Love – David Gray 2 5
Given that he arrived at the time he did, it was nice to see a singer-songwriter in the chart and of course he sold loads of albums convincing record companies that "real music" wasn't dead. Of course, there were others around at the time just as good (in my opinion) who were ignored.

7 \/ 2 Love Me Like You – The Magic Numbers 5 1
Oh, brilliant.

10 NEW All Ablaze – Ian Brown 1 10[/b]
I'll have to hear this a few more times to decide.

11 \/ 7 Ooh La La – Goldfrapp 5 2
And they're so popular now. But their best song was "Utopia (Enchanced)" back in 2001.

13 \/ 10 Coming Home – JJ72 2 10
In the same sort of era as Elbow. Wonder if Turin Brakes are in your chart too...

14 NEW Fix You – Coldplay 1 14
The Mitch Benn song you referred to was released, I only chart songs that were. It was hard to find and actually reached #249 in the official UK top 250. I didn't actually buy "Fix You" as I have it on the album, and I'm not sure if the single version isn't different.

15 NEW Insomnia 2005 – Faithless 1 15
This was their best song. I charted it in 1996 and it reached my top 10 then.

17 NEW Stormy Weather – Echo & The Bunnymen 1 17 **DÉBUT**
They had a few hits in my chart in the 80s, made a comeback in 1997 with their only NM #1 and have charted consistently since, including two more #2s. Surprised therefore if this is their chart debut here - it's nice but I don't hear anything new in it. Maybe it will grow on me more.

19 NEW Doctor Pressure – Mylo/Miami Sound Machine 1 19 **DÉBUT**
Dr Beat reached my chart in 1984 (I don't have my chart with me to see how high). I don't like Mylo though.

20 \/ 15 Unconditional – The Bravery 2 15
Reached #34 on my chart in December.

21 \/ 13 It’s A Hit – Rilo Kiley 8 1
Was #1 on mine too.

23 \/ 16 Apocalypso – Mew 6 4
Is this a pre-release or a 7" only release or something that was shelved or did I somehow miss this? (I miss very little nowadays).

24 NEW Once In A While – The Black Velvets 1 24 **DÉBUT**
Their 3rd single that I know of. Get On Your Life was their first (in a black velvet cover), and 3345 their second.

26 \/ 17 Getaway – Texas 5 10
As with Echo & The Bunnymen, first charted in the 80s then made a comeback in 1997 and had an NM #1 that year (although not with their comeback and they'd never actually been away). This is one of their best singles recently.

28 \/ 22 Your Own Religion – Alfie 6 5
They've had several NM hits since 2001. This is their biggest to date.

29 NEW The Ghost Of You – My Chemical Romance 1 29 **DÉBUT**
They reached my chart twice with "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" peaking at #2. Other than that I don't like them that much.

30 \/ 19 Life Will Be The Death Of Me – Ordinary Boys 2 19
Underrated band.

#14 Fix You - Coldplay
Previously: (49 WOC, 6 top 10, 4 top 5, 1 number one)
Yellow (Jul-00) 2 wks, PP #7
Trouble (Dec-00) 3 wks, PP #10
In My Place (Aug-02) 7 wks, PP #1
The Scientist (Nov-02) 14 wks, PP #2
Clocks (Apr-03) 9 wks, PP #4
God Put A Smile Upon My Face (Sep-03) 14 wks, PP #2
I didn't chart GPASUMF but did chart "Don't Panic" which was also import-only. Chris Martin also featured on another single by Ron Sexsmith "Gold In Them Hills" which reached NM #2 in 2003.

[dandyhighwayman]

Interesting EarlP as I actually agree with you that "Utopia" is Goldfrapp's best song.

6 \/ 5 The One I Love – David Gray 2 5
Given that he arrived at the time he did, it was nice to see a singer-songwriter in the chart and of course he sold loads of albums convincing record companies that "real music" wasn't dead. Of course, there were others around at the time just as good (in my opinion) who were ignored.

I remember Aqualung, but not any others from that sort of period...

7 \/ 2 Love Me Like You – The Magic Numbers 5 1
Oh, brilliant.

did you fork out for the album?

11 \/ 7 Ooh La La – Goldfrapp 5 2
And they're so popular now. But their best song was "Utopia (Enchanced)" back in 2001.

I've just downloaded Utopia, oddly enough.

13 \/ 10 Coming Home – JJ72 2 10
In the same sort of era as Elbow. Wonder if Turin Brakes are in your chart too...

'Over and Over' spent a week at #19 last month.

14 NEW Fix You – Coldplay 1 14
The Mitch Benn song you referred to was released, I only chart songs that were. It was hard to find and actually reached #249 in the official UK top 250. I didn't actually buy "Fix You" as I have it on the album, and I'm not sure if the single version isn't different.

It's not, AFAIK - could you send me that Mitch Benn song?

17 NEW Stormy Weather – Echo & The Bunnymen 1 17 **DÉBUT**
They had a few hits in my chart in the 80s, made a comeback in 1997 with their only NM #1 and have charted consistently since, including two more #2s. Surprised therefore if this is their chart debut here - it's nice but I don't hear anything new in it. Maybe it will grow on me more.

my tastes were very different three or four years ago, and I can't remember any other songs of theirs

23 \/ 16 Apocalypso – Mew 6 4
Is this a pre-release or a 7" only release or something that was shelved or did I somehow miss this? (I miss very little nowadays).

It was 7" and download only... they have another one, Special, along the way this month.

24 NEW Once In A While – The Black Velvets 1 24 **DÉBUT**
Their 3rd single that I know of. Get On Your Life was their first (in a black velvet cover), and 3345 their second.

I bought 3345 for 42p in Gatwick Airport, but was disappointed by them at Reading.

I didn't chart GPASUMF but did chart "Don't Panic" which was also import-only. Chris Martin also featured on another single by Ron Sexsmith "Gold In Them Hills" which reached NM #2 in 2003.

Don't Panic might have been around in the unofficial lower reaches in 2000... I can't remember though.

[Earl Purple]

I haven't bought any albums recently. Perhaps I should buy the Magic Numbers. (I don't download whole albums unless it's with the intention of buying them later if I like them).
