Snow Patrol prove they're not just keeping the top spot warm for the 200th number one: they stay there for a third week and will be very strong again next week. They were the last band to have four weeks on the top, can they do it again? Thom Yorke, Secret Machines and surprise risers Tom Petty will challenge them. Meanwhile, the new (or re-issued) Boy Kill Boy and Arctic Monkeys songs make minor rises, but don't look like emulating the success of their past hits.
The Egg storm into the chart twice, with David Guetta's remix just losing out to the original version - mainly because I haven't heard the remix nearly as much... I expect the remix to have more success, but we'll see. Iron Maiden get a slightly disappointing entry position, while the Spinto Band come from nowhere to outflank them all.

Chart histories and bubblers coming up!

Thom Yorke for numero 1 next week.

01 02 Starlight - Muse
02 06 Weekend And Bleak Days (Hot Summer) - Young Knives Hot summer, what a bummer
03 11 Baby Boom - Crimea
07 09 Crystal Ball - Keane
09 16 To Die A Virgin - Divine Comedy

11 -- Never Be Lonely - The Feeling
12 20 Original Fire - Audioslave
13 18 Recover - Automatic
15 19 Left - Hope Of The States
17 04 Dolls (Sweet Rock & Roll) - Primal Scream (but I guess it won't since it's falling sharply)
19 14 Worthy - Suffrajets - need to hear this!

[Admin]

Oooh, someone else charting the egg - walking away, nice one, assume it is the tocadisco mix like me

[frag]

Yep, that's exactly the one

It's possible... would have been a worthy #1 this week if it wasn't for Snow Patrol.

Great to see Boy Kill Boy and the Arctic Monkeys rising as well as debuts for the Spinto Band, David Guetta vs. The Egg and Boy Least Likely To.

I'm looking forward to seeing the Spinto Band at Reading, could be one of the discoveries of the year for me

Bubblers I want to debut very soon:

Coming next week:
01 02 Starlight - Muse
03 11 Baby Boom - Crimea
07 09 Crystal Ball - Keane
11 -- Never Be Lonely - The Feeling
15 19 Left - Hope Of The States

Have already tried to chart:
02 06 Weekend And Bleak Days (Hot Summer) - Young Knives Hot summer, what a bummer
(this local (Oxford) band were #31 last week)
09 16 To Die A Virgin - Divine Comedy
17 04 Dolls (Sweet Rock & Roll) - Primal Scream (but I guess it won't since it's falling sharply)
(yeah, its best chance was last week, so I don't think it's getting in now...)

The rest will all be having a go soon, but not just yet. Thanks for the comments

[Earl Purple]

I'm ignoring both versions of that walking away track. I'm not generally hot on remixes or samples, although Akira The Don manage to get away with it. That Justice vs Simian though was pure sacrilege.

12 v 7 Eleanor Put Your Boots On - Franz Ferdinand 5 2

I've had a strange liking for that song ever since I bought the album first day it came out. I find their albums interestingly addicting!
