A couple of *Bubblers* for you just outside the Top 30 which should make an appearence shortly:

Kanye West - Gold Digger
Kaiser Chiefs - I Predict A Riot
Arctic Monkeys - I Bet That You Look Good On The Dancefloor

Also it's coming up to a year since Amy Winehouse "You Know I'm No Good" was released on physical, so that should make appear in the next couple of weeks I should imagine.

[Doctor Blind]

This Woman's Work no doubt making an appearance due to it's use in the Extras Christmas special. Thanks for this!

[Smurfie]

Was it? I didn't know that. I was wondering why it had roguely charted.

[Doctor Blind]

Indeed it was, quite prominently too. I doubt it will beat it's 1989 UK chart peak of #25 however.

It's also used on that NSPCC advert that's on all the time as well...

Nice job, set for a major change next week! And maybe a smaller chart?

[ManicKangaroo]

A change, yes but we should still have a top 30

There were lots of non-Christmas oldies in the nether ends of the 200 this week, a 30 shouldn't be a problem.

[ManicKangaroo]

Looking at the mids there's almost 60 tracks that qualify this week

[Smurfie]

Fabulous!
