Commentary & info:
Jenny Lewis & The Watson Twins manage to hold of all challengers as they secure a second week at the top, realistically they may struggle to hold on next week though as Primal Scream look likely to topple them. Islands hold steady at #2 while Tiga continues his climb and makes his first ever top 3 hit - although he has been there before with Zyntherius with their "Sunglasses At Night" hit. Mew make up the top 5 as they spend a 3rd consecutive week in the upper realms.
The highest new entry this week comes from The Aliens whose excellent "Alienoid Starmonica EP" blasts in at #22 - "Only Waiting" is the track from that EP that's doing the business. There are also first time debuts on my chart for The Like, Amanda Ghost, Camera Obscura, Hot Chip and Boy Kill Boy plus two more new entires from acts with previous form on my chart (previous hits from 2000 onwards only):
The Futureheads ("Skip To The End" #37)
"Decent Days & Nights" (#24)
"Hounds Of Love" (#07)
"Area" (#03)
The Beautiful South ("Manchester" #50)
"Closer Than Most" (#03)
"The River / Just Checkin'" (#27)
"The Root Of All Evil" (#36)
"Just A Few Things That I Ain't" (#05)
"Let Go With The Flow" (#10)
"Livin' Thing" (#05)
"This Old Skin" (#03)
"This Will Be Our Year" (#13)
