A massive 10 new entries this week as we get into 2006 - but firstly congratulations to Editors who claim their first #1 on my chart as "Munich" zooms up to the top leaving everything else in it's wake. Nizlopi climb to #2 and Futureheads also climb a place to complete the top 3 while Sigur Ros' 5 week run at the top is ended easily with a fall to #6.

On the new entry front, the highest goes to the delightful "All Time Love" from Mr William Young, it's quite possibly his best song to date. There are other major threats lower down too as Playgroup, Secret Machines, Cat Power, Kooks, Alex Parks, Franz Ferdinand, Stellastarr*, Madonna & finally David Gray all enter and will be seriously strong in upcoming weeks.

You charted 'American Pie' at no.2?

But pleasing about Cat Power charting!

[Admin]

Dont know the Colder song, like your #1, and dont get the fuss over #2.

Yeah I did...

I kinda liked it at the time and there was very little else around that I did like. I think "Pure Shores" was #1 at the time so my taste must have been quite pop orientated at that point I guess.

The Cat Power song is rather good isn't it? I'm not overly familiar with the rest of her stuff but I may get the album on hearing this alone.

The Nizlopi song is just lovely. I actually find the lyrics really endearing and I can just imagine me as a kid making up nonsence like my dad was Bruce Lee or something. I doubt I'd want anything further by them but I think the JCB Song's great.
