The 200th number one arrives, and it's Muse with their 9th. Amazingly, only three of the 12 Muse songs to be released since Plug In Baby have failed to get to #1, and two of those were part of a double A-side where the other song got to #1. The odd one out is Hysteria, which got to #2. If I did an albums chart, they'd have been #1 on that too for about the past two months.
Plenty of big risers and nine new entries mean a few big fallers. After failing to chart at their first opportunity two weeks ago, The Young Knives are now in the top 10. The Fratellis debut impressively at #8, despite the fact that I first heard the song yesterday. They'll be challenging for #1 soon.
Other highlights of the new entries are Bell X1 (with a song that reminds me of Easyworld), Suffrajets and Goldfrapp.

Chart histories and bubblers - in about a minute, as I'm super-organised this week

[Doctor Blind]

Thom Yorke didn't quite make the no.1 then, but that doesn't matter when a bloody fantastic song like "Starlight" is at the top!

Great to see the Crimea, Egg and Fratellis break the Top 10.

Haven't heard the Bell X1 or Less Than Jake (X2) tuneage, but all the other new entries this week I like quite a lot.

[Admin]

Nice to see Fratellis and Bell XI entering high, hope they will climb further still.
Will there be another chart this week, or can this one go in the combi chart this week?

[frag]

This one can, andy... and that fratellis climb enough for you? ;D

Hot on the heels of the 200th chart-topper is the 201st, as Muse drop to #1 and the Fratellis come from nowhere (well, nowhere 2 weeks ago) to reach the top. Unluckily, Thom Yorke spends a 3rd week at #2. Meanwhile the lack of decent new entries means that the Boy Least Likely To return to the chart, and Hope of the States leave it, probably for the last time ever

Chart histories and bubblers tomorrow, if you're lucky...

The next day, then
Probably back to normal on Sunday
