TONY'S HITS CHART 18th MARCH 2016
1 NEW All Saints - One Woman Man AUDIO STREAM VIDEO
Wow! I didn't think One Strike would be bettered but it has. For a girlgroup to come back like this is unprecedented and i hope this is a radio/video single in the near future - Radio 1 have no basis on which to ignore them now. They can't say they don't sound contemporary and they gave Shaggy and Craig David a chance.
2 1 Charli XCX - Secret (Shh) / Trophy / Vroom Vroom / Charli XCX with Hannah Diamond - Paradise (Vroom Vroom EP) EP SPOTIFY AUDIO STREAM (4 weeks; peak #1)
3 2 Icona Pop - Someone Who Can Dance AUDIO STREAM VIDEO (4 weeks; peak #2) 4 3 Kitten - Church VIDEO (3 weeks; peak #3) 5 6 All Saints ^ :lol: - One Strike VIDEO (4 weeks; PEAK) All Saints next door to Church, continuing the churchy back to backs. After 3 weeks in waiting they jump into the top 5 but are hampered by their other song! :lol: They revealed on Alan Carr that Shaznay wrote it about Nicole's feelings on being cheated on by Liam Gallagher. Despite this, he loves it!
6 7 Ladyhawke - Sweet Fascination LYRIC VIDEO (2 weeks; PEAK) 7 4 Chvrches - Clearest Blue VIDEO (17 weeks; peak #1) 8 5 School Of Seven Bells - Ablaze AUDIO STREAM VIDEO (8 weeks; peak #1) 9 11 Anohni (Antony) - Drone Bomb Me VIDEO (2 weeks; PEAK) If this gets no further it will be same peak as 4 Degrees (though she made top 5 as Antony with Hope There's Someone and with Bjork on The Dull Flame Of Desire). I'm keeping her old name/identity in brackets purely to boost potential listeners - after the album charts i'll drop it.
10 9 Machineheart - Circles VIDEO (Vanic Remix) / Best Thing / Watercolors (In Your Dreams EP) (4 weeks; peak #8) 11 10 RIVRS - Friend Lover VIDEO (4 weeks; peak #9) 12 NEW Priest - White Nights VIDEO
Finally we get a video from this top synth duo!
13 15 Ladyhawke - A Love Song LYRIC VIDEO (2 weeks; PEAK) 14 NEW Electric Lady Lab - Love Is War AUDIO STREAM VIDEO
Danish pop duo return - uses melody from an (inferior) song by Twenty 4 Seven.
15 20 Bat For Lashes - In God's House VIDEO (2 weeks; PEAK)
So i now know the storyline of the album and i'm sure it will be great when it flows together but this is still a set of verses without a chorus. And unlike Bjork she can't get away with that so easily on my watch. Nice Lynch inspired video.
16 13 School Of Seven Bells - On My Heart (7 weeks; peak #13) 17 12 Crystals - Acquaintance Status (2 weeks; peak #12) 18 NEW Jamie-Lee Kriewitz - Ghost STUDIO VERSION VIDEO / ESC VERSION VIDEO
So this 17 year old won The Voice of Germany and is now representing Germany with the same song in Eurovision. By far the best of the selection even if parts of it remind me of Rihanna's Umbrella which is a bit distracting! The girl can sing.
19 8 Massive Attack with Young Fathers - Voodoo In My Blood / Massive Attack with Roots Manuva - Dead Editors (Ritual Spirit EP) (7 weeks; peak #5) I'm not charting the Kate Moss title track video as it's not good enough.
20 NEW The 1975 - A Change Of Heart SPOTIFY AUDIO STREAM About his almost-dating of Taylor Swift.
21 29 BabyMetal - Karate VIDEO (3 weeks; PEAK)
22 NEW Cam - Mayday LIVE ON ELLEN / LYRIC VIDEO 23 NEW Skinny Girl Diet - Nadine Hurley VIDEO
Second David Lynch inspired video of the week - belated entry due to a TV doc on Pistols / Marley photographer Dennis Morris. Glam punk, as you can see!
24 14 Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons - Hurricane (6 weeks; peak #2) 25 NEW White Sea - Arcadia VIDEO Nothing to do with members of Duran or Chairlift! Speaking of...
26 16 Chairlift - Crying In Public (8 weeks; peak #8) 27 17 Rival Sons - Hollow Bones Pt. 1 (2 weeks; peak #17) 28 19 Minor Victories - A Hundred Ropes (3 weeks; peak #12) 29 18 Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons - Electric Flame (6 weeks; peak #3) 30 NEW M83 - Solitude AUDIO STREAM VIDEO 31 22 Heron Oblivion - Oriar (2 weeks; peak #22) 32 25 Roots Manuva - Crying (2 weeks; peak #25) 33 28 David Bowie - I Can't Give Everything Away (2 weeks; peak #28) 34 23 The 1975 - Somebody Else (5 weeks; peak #6) 35 26 Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons - Athens (6 weeks; peak #4) 36 27 Beth Orton - Moon (3 weeks; peak #19) 37 24 School Of Seven Bells - Open Your Eyes (6 weeks; peak #24) 38 30 Ray LaMontagne - Hey, No Pressure (8 weeks; peak #4) 39 21 Silversun Pickups - Circadian Rhythm (Last Dance) (13 weeks; peak #2) 40 NEW Skinny Girl Diet - Silver Spoons VIDEO
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TONY'S ALBUM CHART 18th MARCH 2016
1 1 School Of Seven Bells - SVIIB (4 weeks; peak #1) 3 WEEKS AT #1! SPOTIFY 2 NEW Blancmange - Commuter 23 SPOTIFY 3 great albums in less than 2 years from Neil Arthur! Sorely under-rated.
3 NEW CJ Wildheart - Robot SPOTIFY Mostly great set - and surprise download hit - from the former Wildhearts rocker who isn't Ginger. At least non-Pledge people can hear him unlike his ex bandmate who charts on physical fan support lately.
4 2 Holy Esque - At Hope's Ravine (3 weeks; peak #1) 5 3 Kitten - Heaven Or Somewhere In Between (MA) (3 weeks; peak #2) 6 4 Pr0files - Jurassic Technologie (2 weeks; peak #4) 7 NEW CJ Wildheart - Mable SPOTIFY 8 5 Ray LaMontagne - Ouroboros (2 weeks; peak #5) 9 6 Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons - Homemade Vision (6 weeks; peak #1) 10 7 Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons - Hey Kid (6 weeks; peak #1) 11 8 Heron Oblivion - Heron Oblivion (2 weeks; peak #8) 12 9 School Of Seven Bells - Ghostory (3 weeks; peak #6) 13 10 School Of Seven Bells - Alpinisms (3 weeks; peak #7) 14 11 School Of Seven Bells - Disconnect From Desire (3 weeks; peak #8) 15 12 Ryuichi Sakamoto and Alva Noto with Bryce Dessner - The Revenant (OST) (3 weeks; peak #9) 16 13 Ben Salisbury and Geoff Barrow - Ex Machina (OST) (3 weeks; peak #10) 17 NEW Bethel Music - Have It All: Live At Bethel Church YOUTUBE PLAYLIST 18 NEW Jeff Buckley - You and I SPOTIFY 19 NEW Megan and Liz - Deux (MA) SPOTIFY 20 17 The 1975 - I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It (3 weeks; peak #12) SPOTIFY

TONY'S HITS CHART 11th MARCH 2016
1 1 Charli XCX - Secret (Shh) / Trophy / Vroom Vroom / Charli XCX with Hannah Diamond - Paradise (Vroom Vroom EP) EP SPOTIFY AUDIO STREAM (3 weeks; peak #1) 3 WEEKS AT #1!
2 2 Icona Pop - Someone Who Can Dance AUDIO STREAM VIDEO (3 weeks; peak #2) 3 7 Kitten - Church VIDEO (2 weeks; PEAK)
4 3 Chvrches ^ :lol: - Clearest Blue VIDEO (16 weeks; peak #1) 5 4 School Of Seven Bells - Ablaze AUDIO STREAM VIDEO (7 weeks; peak #1) 6 6 All Saints - One Strike VIDEO (3 weeks; peak #6) 7 NEW Ladyhawke - Sweet Fascination LYRIC VIDEO
See #15.
8 5 Massive Attack with Young Fathers - Voodoo In My Blood VIDEO (disturbing - slightly NSFW) / Massive Attack with Roots Manuva - Dead Editors (Ritual Spirit EP) (6 weeks; peak #5) 9 8 Machineheart - Circles VIDEO (Vanic Remix) / Best Thing / Watercolors (In Your Dreams EP) (3 weeks; peak #8) 10 10 RIVRS - Friend Lover VIDEO (3 weeks; peak #9) 11 NEW Anohni (Antony) - Drone Bomb Me VIDEO
Naomi Campbell stars in the video for former Hegarty/Johnsons' second single from upcoming album. Nice synths from Hudson Mohawke and/or Onehotrix Point Never.
12 NEW Crystals - Acquaintance Status SOUNDCLOUD AUDIO STREAM
Local Stockton duo doing dark synth / dream-pop.
13 35 School Of Seven Bells - On My Heart VIDEO (6 weeks; PEAK) New peak as video finally comes out. Need one for Ablaze, though.
14 9 Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons - Hurricane (5 weeks; peak #2) 15 NEW Ladyhawke - A Love Song LYRIC VIDEO First official single from upcoming album Wild Things, the other track - an album pre-order - is better.
16 RE Chairlift - Crying In Public VIDEO (7 weeks; peak #8)
17 NEW Rival Sons - Hollow Bones Pt. 1 AUDIO STREAM VIDEO Great riff rock - their first Tony Hit.
18 11 Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons - Electric Flame (5 weeks; peak #3) 19 12 Minor Victories - A Hundred Ropes (2 weeks; peak #12) 20 NEW Bat For Lashes - In God's House AUDIO STREAM VIDEO (flashing imagery)
Not described as a video so maybe a real one is to come. Second track revealed from The Bride which doesn't seem like a set of instant hits, does it? Her two lowest "lead singles" yet on my chart. At this point, a paid purchase is in doubt.
21 RE Silversun Pickups - Circadian Rhythm (Last Dance) OFFICIAL VIDEO (12 weeks; peak #2) And here - as if to back up the first part of the previous paragraph - is the official video, 6 months after the first performance-based one which they called "audio". :wink:
22 NEW Heron Oblivion - Oriar AUDIO STREAM VIDEO Psychedelic folk rock - see albums.
23 13 The 1975 - Somebody Else (4 weeks; peak #6) 24 36 School Of Seven Bells - Open Your Eyes (5 weeks; PEAK) 25 NEW Roots Manuva - Crying VIDEO 26 14 Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons - Athens (5 weeks; peak #4) 27 19 Beth Orton - Moon (2 weeks; peak #19) 28 NEW David Bowie - I Can't Give Everything Away AUDIO STREAM VIDEO 29 33 BabyMetal - Karate (2 weeks; PEAK) 30 29 Ray LaMontagne - Hey, No Pressure (7 weeks; peak #4) 31 18 Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons - Your Love (5 weeks; peak #9) 32 16 Kitten - Fall On Me (8 weeks; peak #1) 33 25 Ray LaMontagne - In My Own Way (4 weeks; peak #15) 34 20 Nina Nesbitt - Chewing Gum / Take You To Heaven / Masquerade (demo) (Modern Love EP) (9 weeks; peak #2) 35 26 Holy Esque - Tear (3 weeks; peak #26) 36 15 Karl William Lund - Miracle (3 weeks; peak #11) 37 17 Icarus with Aurora - Home (3 weeks; peak #17) 38 22 The 1975 - The Sound (5 weeks; peak #15) 39 23 Lush - Out Of Control (3 weeks; peak #20) 40 NEW Maja Skillz - Fall Aprt VIDEO Mari from Shy For Shore doing Twigs-y solo music.

Synth duo.
5 NEW Ray LaMontagne - Ouroboros SPOTIFY
More of that laid-back alt-flecked blues from the guy i never liked before. The guy from My Morning Jacket is producer which explains the new sound (mostly on "PartOne" - what would be Side One on vinyl, young folks!).
6 4 Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons - Homemade Vision (5 weeks; peak #1) 7 5 Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons - Hey Kid (5 weeks; peak #1) 8 NEW Heron Oblivion - Heron Oblivion SPOTIFY Solo folk star and Espers singer Meg Baird is a singing drummer on this heavy psych album.

ON APPLE MUSIC Her previous from 2004 recorded with Jack White. I heard it via a CD borrowed from a library but it was during a non-album chart time.

1 NEW Holy Esque - At Hope's Ravine SPOTIFY
It's a shame how this has failed to chart even on the specialist charts (Indie, Record Store, their local OCC Scottish Albums Chart). But then with only Radio X playing them... Intense "post-rock" with shades of Interpol and other groups you won't know and i can't think of(!).

AMAZING BUSY WEEK!!!
MY HITS CHART 26th FEBRUARY 2016
1 NEW Charli XCX - Secret (Shh) / Trophy / Vroom Vroom / Charli XCX with Hannah Diamond - Paradise (Vroom Vroom EP) EP SPOTIFY AUDIO STREAM
She launched her own label imprint Vroom Vroom this week, headed by this return to experimental dance pop. While the latter two tracks listed are a bit light, i highly recommend Trophy which bangs hard and the track that got this up from top 5 to number one: the amazing Secret (Shh) which brings her back to her goth/synth/indie sound from the 2010/11 period. It's all produced by Sophie - a guy - and she says the whole new album is by him. So this is Charli effectively "doing a Marina" and going back to her heart - not worrying about being a popstar.
2 NEW Icona Pop - Someone Who Can Dance AUDIO STREAM VIDEO / LIVE VERSION with Zara Larsson and Elliphant
:lol: And here's Charli's mates with their biggest ever Tony Hit! Infectious production from Jarrad "Mistr" Rogers (who did Doing It and many more pop hits). This was #1 midweek until Charli's Secret came along. Not sure if the Zara / Elliphant version is ever getting a release but that's how they chose to premiere the song.
3 4 Chvrches - Clearest Blue VIDEO (14 weeks; peak #1)
4 1 School Of Seven Bells - Ablaze AUDIO STREAM VIDEO (5 weeks; peak #1) 5 RE Massive Attack with Young Fathers - Voodoo In My Blood VIDEO (disturbing - slightly NSFW) / Massive Attack with Roots Manuva - Dead Editors (Ritual Spirit EP) (4 weeks; PEAK)
Another iconic MA video - this time taking cue from 1979 cult horror classic Phantasm with Rosamund Pike being controlled by a strange floating ball. For the rest of the EP's chart run i'll only credit these two tracks with Voodoo now the main entry.
6 NEW All Saints - One Strike AUDIO STREAM VIDEO
Not only much better than their previous comeback but one of the best things they've ever done.
7 2 Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons - Hurricane VIDEO (3 weeks; peak #2) 8 NEW Machineheart - Circles VIDEO (Vanic Remix) / Best Thing VIDEO / Watercolors AUDIO STREAM VIDEO (In Your Dreams EP) EP SPOTIFY AUDIO STREAM (includes original Circles)
LA synth band fronted by the cutely-named Stevie Scott (cute for a woman, anyway!) who are supporting Kitten.
9 NEW RIVRS - Friend Lover VIDEO
London electronica duo (Charlie and Finn) on Charli's Vroom Vroom label and also debuted this week. I know i said i hate capitalized names that aren't acronyms but this one looks rubbish in small letters and there's another act with a similar name in small case anyway.
10 3 Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons - Electric Flame VIDEO (3 weeks; peak #3) 11 NEW Karl William Lund - Miracle AUDIO STREAM VIDEO / LIVE ON BBC SELECTION SHOW
It's Deuce being beaten by Love City Groove all over again (though i don't mind the winning Joe and Jake song) :x . So this was one of six songs put forward for selection in a TV show by the BBC for UK's Eurovision entry (like they did for years). Sadly this Will Young / Hurts (remember when they said they'd enter?) type melancholic pop ballad didn't win - they wouldn't even reveal the final table of results but it seems from YouTube reactions this never had a chance. :cry: The studio version is better so hopefully it will still get a release / video.
12 5 Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons - Athens (3 weeks; peak #4) 13 6 The 1975 - Somebody Else (2 weeks; peak #6) 14 8 Nina Nesbitt - Chewing Gum / Take You To Heaven / Masquerade (demo) (Modern Love EP) (7 weeks; peak #2) 15 NEW Yelle - Un Million AUDIO STREAM VIDEO I don't think Dr Luke produced this one - and boy is that a story we'll probably never know the truth about.
16 11 Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons - Your Love (3 weeks; peak #9) 17 7 Kitten - Fall On Me (6 weeks; peak #1) 18 NEW Icarus with Aurora - Home VIDEO Nice trance with the girl from the Oasis song advert - not the trance act Aurora.
19 RE Little Mix - Black Magic LIVE AT THE BRITS (11 weeks; peak #3)
:lol: :lol: That screen grab - and many more moments from the performance - gives me life! Jade giving it her all is just the start! The only musical highlight of the 2016 show.
20 NEW Lush - Out Of Control VIDEO
They're back! With the original shoegaze sound - not the awful Britpop stuff they attempted. From upcoming Blind Spot EP.
21 RE The 1975 - The Sound VIDEO (3 weeks; peak #15) "Robotic Huey Lewis"! :lol:
22 9 FKA Twigs - Good To Love (2 weeks; peak #9) 23 RE Bjork - Black Lake TWO-SCREEN VERSION VIDEO (6 weeks; peak #7) BRITs winner yet again!
24 12 The Jezabels - Pleasure Drive (6 weeks; peak #5) 25 10 The Chemical Brothers with Beck - Wide Open (13 weeks; peak #7) 26 NEW Karl William Lund - Lionheart (The Chariot) VIDEO 27 13 ARO - Cocaine Style (3 weeks; peak #12) 28 15 Ray LaMontagne - In My Own Way (2 weeks; peak #15) 29 16 Postiljonen - How Can Our Love Be Blind? (2 weeks; peak #16) 30 19 IAMX - North Star (2 weeks; peak #19) 31 14 Bat For Lashes - I Do (2 weeks; peak #14) 32 NEW Wolfmother - Victorious VIDEO 33 RE School Of Seven Bells - On My Heart (4 weeks; peak #16) 34 RE School Of Seven Bells - Open Your Eyes (3 weeks; peak #25) 35 17 Ray LaMontagne - Hey, No Pressure (5 weeks; peak #4) 36 18 Jessy Lanza - It Means I Love You (5 weeks; peak #5) 37 NEW Monster Truck - The Enforcer AUDIO STREAM VIDEO Canadian hard rock - not unlike Wolfmother, oddly.
38 22 Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons - I Don't Wanna Be Your Fool (3 weeks; peak #14) 39 NEW Holy Esque - Tear VIDEO 40 NEW Missy Higgins - Oh Canada VIDEO Kelly Clarkson tweeted this song from Aussie singer relating the plight of Alan Kurdi the Syrian refugee who made the world weep. Canada turned them away.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MY HITS CHART 19th FEBRUARY 2016
1 1 School Of Seven Bells - Ablaze AUDIO STREAM VIDEO (4 weeks; peak #1) 3 WEEKS AT #1!
Alone, Jealous and Not Stoned. :cry: It's now on 6 Music's playlist so maybe just maybe someone else will love it...?
2 2 Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons - Hurricane VIDEO (2 weeks; peak #2)
3 3 Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons - Electric Flame VIDEO (2 weeks; peak #3)
4 RE Chvrches - Clearest Blue VIDEO (13 weeks; peak #1)
Video is like a modern spin on Highlander! With magic Scots queen Lauren.
5 4 Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons - Athens VIDEO (2 weeks; peak #4) 6 NEW The 1975 - Somebody Else SPOTIFY AUDIO STREAM (language)
Their best of the synth period so far is a pop ballad.
7 5 Kitten - Fall On Me VIDEO (5 weeks; peak #1) 8 6 Nina Nesbitt - Chewing Gum VIDEO / Take You To Heaven / Masquerade (demo) (Modern Love EP) (6 weeks; peak #2) 9 NEW FKA Twigs - Good To Love VIDEO
So this is what it feels like to have sex with Robert Pattinson.
10 7 The Chemical Brothers with Beck - Wide Open VIDEO (12 weeks; peak #7) 11 9 Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons - Your Love VIDEO (2 weeks; peak #9) 12 10 The Jezabels - Pleasure Drive VIDEO (language) (5 weeks; peak #5) 13 12 ARO - Cocaine Style VIDEO (2 weeks; peak #12) 14 NEW Bat For Lashes - I Do AUDIO STREAM VIDEO 15 NEW Ray LaMontagne - In My Own Way AUDIO STREAM VIDEO 16 NEW Postiljonen - How Can Our Love Be Blind?

I would post the live show clip of this with Jack Antonoff of .Fun / Bleachers but it's been removed (no surprise). And they weren't the only awards she won this week, here she is accepting an NME Award with a statuette suitable for Kanye West.

MY HITS CHART 12th FEBRUARY 2016
1 1 School Of Seven Bells - Ablaze AUDIO STREAM VIDEO (3 weeks; peak #1) 2 WEEKS AT #1!
Still waiting for Secret Machines fans from Retro (UKMix Retro Chart) to comment on this. :cry:
2 NEW Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons - Hurricane VIDEO 3 NEW Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons - Electric Flame VIDEO 4 NEW Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons - Athens VIDEO
Discovered this Americana group on BBC Radio Scotland playlist. Talk about hidden away! They're from the US itself and are so much more than that genre tag suggests. There are elements of Rilo Kiley, Nico Vega, Miranda Lambert. Gutsy and rootsy and she's an amazing talent.
5 2 Kitten - Fall On Me VIDEO (4 weeks; peak #1) Now out to buy. Mini album on pre-order.
6 3 Nina Nesbitt - Chewing Gum VIDEO / Take You To Heaven / Masquerade (demo) (Modern Love EP) (5 weeks; peak #2) 7 8 The Chemical Brothers with Beck - Wide Open VIDEO (11 weeks; peak #7) Back to its original peak! This is proving to be one of their longest-lasting entries on my chart (will check later).
8 4 Ray LaMontagne - Hey, No Pressure AUDIO STREAM VIDEO (3 weeks; peak #4) Surprised at lack of comments on this. Though i guess he has no fans left on the forums - or they don't know he's back?
9 NEW Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons - Your Love VIDEO Their brand new video.
10 7 The Jezabels - Pleasure Drive VIDEO (language) (4 weeks; peak #5) Eurythmics.
11 5 Jessy Lanza - It Means I Love You VIDEO (3 weeks; peak #5) Bjork, Roisin Murphy.
12 NEW ARO - Cocaine Style VIDEO
Aimee Rachel Osbourne's second single is more evidence that Lana's followers are doing it better than she is right now.
13 6 Bonnie McKee - Wasted Youth VIDEO / Easy / Bombastic (4 weeks; peak #3) Where's the Katy Perry fans? Not looking at my chart, obviously cause i've seen Bonnie chart before (on UKMix). :cry:
14 NEW Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons - I Don't Wanna Be Your Fool SPOTIFY AUDIO STREAM The song i saw on Radio Scotland's playlist.
15 NEW DIIV - Under The Sun AUDIO STREAM VIDEO So Sky Ferreira's other half Zachary Cole now charts higher than her with the first ever entry for DIIV (or "Dive").
16 NEW Mogwai - Ether AUDIO STREAM VIDEO From the doc film Atomic which was broadcast on TV already but the soundtrack album is still forthcoming. Beautiful.
17 18 Niki and The Dove - So Much It Hurts VIDEO (2 weeks; PEAK) The video is also on their Vevo in some countries (not UK). Take your pick depending on what's available.
18 9 Taylor Swift - Out Of The Woods (22 weeks; peak #1) 19 12 Mr Oizo with Charli XCX - Hand In The Fire (10 weeks; peak #5) 20 15 Allie X - Old Habits Die Hard (2 weeks; peak #15) 21 14 Lacey Sturm - Impossible (3 weeks; peak #14) 22 16 Hannah Diamond - Hi (2 weeks; peak #16) 23 10 Zayn - PillowTalk (3 weeks; peak #10) 24 NEW GoGo Penguin - All Res VIDEO 25 11 Eric Prydz with Rob Swire - Breathe (3 weeks; peak #11) 26 NEW OK Go - Upside Down and Inside Out VIDEO Another clever video - this one filmed on a zero gravity airline. They refused to put it on YouTube due to dispute over charges.
27 19 Enya - Even In The Shadows (2 weeks; peak #19) 28 17 Gin Wigmore with Suffa and Logic - Willing To Die (5 weeks; peak #15) 29 20 Primal Scream with Sky Ferreira - Where The Light Gets In (2 weeks; peak #20) 30 NEW Equador - Blood VIDEO (nudity) Trio featuring Henry Binns from Zero 7 and Bo Bruce.
31 NEW Little Big Town - Tumble and Fall AUDIO STREAM VIDEO Now on Radio 2 playlist. Very "smooth radio" / AOR compared to their other stuff.
32 NEW DIIV - Bent (Roi's Song) LIVE VIDEO 33 RE Foxes - If You Leave Me Now (6 weeks; peak #7) 34 RE Foxes - Body Talk (15 weeks; peak #1) 35 NEW Santigold - Banshee AUDIO STREAM VIDEO First release from upcoming third album i've liked. Doesn't bode well. :cry:
36 13 David Bowie - Lazarus (5 weeks; peak #3) 37 21 Purity Ring - Heartsigh (9 weeks; peak #2) 38 24 Tame Impala - Yes, I'm Changing (10 weeks; peak #3) 39 25 Chairlift - Crying In Public (6 weeks; peak #8) 40 26 Massive Attack with Roots Manuva - Dead Editors / Massive Attack with Young Fathers - Voodoo In My Blood / Massive Attack with Tricky - Take It There / Massive Attack with Azekel - Ritual Spirit (Ritual Spirit EP) (3 weeks; peak #14)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
MY ALBUM CHART 12th FEBRUARY 2016
1 NEW Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons - Homemade Vision SPOTIFY
The just-released new album.
2 NEW Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons - Hey Kid SPOTIFY
3 NEW The Jezabels - Synthia SPOTIFY
More synth-based than before and more diminishing returns on third full-length but still great. Charting a week early due to pre-release stream on Pandora. Worth checking their Spotify commentary for some of the quickest and funniest round-ups you'll ever hear! Sample quote: "Liam Gallagher... wouldn't know darkness if he fell into a black hole!" :lol:
4 NEW Kid Kasio - Sit and Wait SPOTIFY
This came out November so i missed the actual release. Second full length set of 80's style synth pop from Nathan Cooper formerly of The Modern / Matinee Club.
5 NEW Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons - Nowhere Is Now Here (MA) SPOTIFY 6 NEW Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons - Fireside (MA) SPOTIFY 7 NEW Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons - Yellow Moon (MA) SPOTIFY 8 NEW DIIV - Is The Is Are SPOTIFY
80' / 90's shoegaze / indie rock revival. Much better than the noise they did before. Though the track with Sky Ferreira is rather slight and pointless. 9 NEW GoGo Penguin - Man Made Object SPOTIFY
Second album of Lamb-ish (sans vocals) jazztronica from Mercury nominated UK trio. Still waiting for Kuba (on UKMix) to get into them.
10 NEW Foxes - All I Need SPOTIFY
It's a shame she's so inconsistent. Some of this album is by-the-numbers corporate pop - some of it (like my number one song Body Talk) is brilliant. It's perhaps better than the first album but she has even less of an artistic identity than she had then. Weirdly the deluxe edition is the one most widely available and is the only one that has the title track (and some of the best tracks!). Dedicated fans or fans of nipples will buy both. Trivia: members of Semisonic and The Kane Gang are involved in this as well as Liam Howe (Marina), Babyface(!), Dan Smith (Bastille), Jim Eliot (Kylie, Ladyhawke), Rick Nowels (Madge, Lana) and Jonas Quant (Hurts) .
Top ten wipeout!!
11 2 Chairlift - Moth (3 weeks; peak #1) 12 1 Stephen Rennicks - Room (OST) (2 weeks; peak #1) 13 3 Georg Holm, Orri Pall Dyrason, Hilmar Orn Hilmarsson and Kjartan Holm - Circe: Music composed for The Show Of Shows (OST) (2 weeks; peak #3) 14 4 Suede - Night Thoughts (3 weeks; peak #2) 15 5 David Bowie - Blackstar (5 weeks; peak #1) 16 6 This Will Destroy You - Another Language (2 weeks; peak #6) 17 NEW Wet - Don't You SPOTIFY Lauded alt r and b outfit that are a bit Banks but more sedate - a bit too sedate for my liking. The track Body i like a lot, though. This review sums up their problem for me. Chairlift's Patrick Wimberley is involved on two tracks which is why i checked it in full.
18 NEW Chris Isaak - First Comes The Night SPOTIFY Too often has you asking "what's the point in being an impersonator?". If you like this you're better off with Orbison and Cash the real deals.
19 13 Skunk Anansie - Anarchytecture (4 weeks; peak #2) 20 RE Kitten - Kitten (30 weeks; peak #1)

MY HITS CHART 29th JANUARY 2016
1 1 Kitten - Fall On Me VIDEO (2 weeks; peak #1)
This would have been toppled by this unreleased classic synth track i discovered called Submarine. One of the best things they've done, this had better see a release - at it is it's just a fan uploaded...
NON-CHART EXTRA SONG: Kitten - Submarine AUDIO STREAM VIDEO and here's another shot of beautiful Chloe Chaidez who basically IS Kitten these days.
2 NEW School Of Seven Bells - Ablaze AUDIO STREAM VIDEO
"When he died i fell apart". :cry: Stunning dream pop that harks back to Curve. Alejandra Deheza's tribute to Benjamin Curtis who died in 2013 but who provided music for this - their final album. So it joins Bowie's elegy / death prediction in the top ten as another piece of music that stands as a testimony after their passing.
3 2 Nina Nesbitt - Chewing Gum VIDEO (3 weeks; peak #2)
4 3 Bonnie McKee - Wasted Youth VIDEO / Easy / Bombastic VIDEO (2 weeks; peak #3)
So the song Bombastic would have moved up on its own to the top ten this week. Clearly she's not shy!
5 6 The Jezabels - Pleasure Drive VIDEO (language) (2 weeks; PEAK) 6 4 Taylor Swift - Out Of The Woods VIDEO (20 weeks; peak #1) 7 5 David Bowie - Lazarus VIDEO (3 weeks; peak #3) 8 NEW Ray LaMontagne - Hey, No Pressure AUDIO STREAM VIDEO
SHOCK ENTRY #1. Atmospheric relaxed smoky blues rock with layers of texture from what looks like a progressive rock album, you would never guess it was the Trouble guy.
9 NEW Jessy Lanza - It Means I Love You VIDEO
Alternative dance from Canada. If you like Roisin Murphy, Bjork...
10 RE The Chemical Brothers with Beck - Wide Open VIDEO (9 weeks; peak #7)
Bit late releasing the video after the single and 6 Music playlisting have been and gone! Though there's still time for other stations to catch up.
11 NEW Zayn - PillowTalk VIDEO (erotic content)
SHOCK ENTRY #2! I never charted One Direction but this is in a different category. More like The Weeknd with a sensual video starring his girlfriend the model Gigi Hadid. Nothing to do with the Le Grind song i charted recently.
12 NEW Eric Prydz with Rob Swire - Breathe AUDIO STREAM VIDEO SHOCK ENTRY #3! I've never charted Prydz either but this sounds unusually cool and with a touch of Jean-Michel Jarre. Pendulum singer's presence may have helped!
13 7 Purity Ring - Heartsigh (7 weeks; peak #2) 14 NEW Massive Attack with Roots Manuva - Dead Editors / Massive Attack with Young Fathers - Voodoo In My Blood / Massive Attack with Tricky - Take It There VIDEO / Massive Attack with Azekel - Ritual Spirit (Ritual Spirit EP) EP SPOTIFY AUDIO STREAM Original member Tricky reunites with 3D for that track. The title track is the weakest on it.
15 8 Tame Impala - Yes, I'm Changing (8 weeks; peak #3) 16 9 Mr Oizo with Charli XCX - Hand In The Fire (8 weeks; peak #5) 17 11 Chairlift - Crying In Public (4 weeks; peak #8) 18 NEW Lacey Sturm - Impossible AUDIO STREAM VIDEO Former Flyleaf singer back on the alt rock.
19 12 David Bowie - Blackstar (3 weeks; peak #12) 20 NEW Wild Nothing - To Know You / TV Queen "Living Album Art" Joint VIDEO 21 13 Night Moves - Denise, Don't Wanna See You Cry (2 weeks; peak #13) 22 NEW Suede - Pale Snow VIDEO 23 NEW Suede - No Tomorrow VIDEO (distressing content) 24 15 Chairlift - Romeo (9 weeks; peak #2) 25 10 Team Me - June (4 weeks; peak #7) 26 16 A Thousand Horses - First Time (3 weeks; peak #11) 27 17 School Of Seven Bells - On My Heart (3 weeks; peak #16) 28 26 Underworld - I Exhale VIDEO (flashing imagery) (2 weeks; peak #26) 29 19 Mary Lambert with K.Flay - Ribcage (2 weeks; peak #19) 30 NEW Hollie Stephenson - Pointless Rebellion VIDEO 18 year old singer / songwriter mentored by Dave Stewart.
31 22 Margaret Berger - Apologize (2 weeks; peak #22) 32 23 Riton with Kah-Lo - Rinse and Repeat LIVE SET FOR RADIO 1 (2 weeks; peak #23) 33 NEW Suede - Like Kids VIDEO 34 14 Purity Ring - Begin Again (8 weeks; peak #14) 35 27 JoJo - Save My Soul LIVE ACOUSTIC VIDEO (6 weeks; peak #15) 36 28 Selena Gomez - Hands To Myself (2 weeks; peak #28) 37 NEW Suede - Outsiders VIDEO 38 20 Mylene Farmer - City Of Love (6 weeks: peak #7) 39 21 Alex Winston - The Day I Died (16 weeks; peak #2) 40 24 Anohni (Antony) - 4 Degrees (7 weeks; peak #9)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
MY ALBUM CHART 29th JANUARY 2016
1 NEW Chairlift - Moth SPOTIFY
Not as amazing as Something but still deserved to do better than it has. Working with Beyonce may have rubbed off on them as some tracks have a 70s r and b feel.
2 NEW Suede - Night Thoughts SPOTIFY
Much better than the previous album and they're even helping to dislodge their hero...
3 1 David Bowie - Blackstar (3 weeks; peak #1) 4 2 Skunk Anansie - Anarchytecture (2 weeks; peak #2) 5 3 The Anchoress - Confessions Of A Romance Novelist (2 weeks; peak #3) 6 NEW Vulkano - Iridescence SPOTIFY 7 NEW Coasts - Coasts SPOTIFY 8 NEW Savages - Adore Life SPOTIFY 9 5 Chvrches - Every Open Eye (19 weeks; peak #1) 10 6 Cam - Untamed (7 weeks; peak #1) 11 4 Marina and The Diamonds - Froot (39 weeks; peak #1) 12 7 Jesus Culture - Let It Echo (live) (2 weeks; peak #7) 13 NEW Tindersticks - The Waiting Room SPOTIFY 14 RE David Bowie - Earthling (5 weeks; peak #3) 15 NEW Tricky presents Skilled Mechanics - Tricky presents Skilled Mechanics SPOTIFY

Nice to see the name Denise featured in a song again.
14 RE Purity Ring - Begin Again VIDEO (7 weeks; PEAK) Belated video for single from a year ago. Beats previous peak by one place.
15 10 Chairlift - Romeo (8 weeks; peak #2) 16 11 A Thousand Horses - First Time (2 weeks; peak #11) 17 16 School Of Seven Bells - On My Heart (2 weeks; peak #16) 18 1 Ryan Adams - Out Of The Woods (14 weeks; peak #1) :lol:
19 NEW Mary Lambert with K.Flay - Ribcage VIDEO Angel Haze is barely featured so gets no credit from me on this hip-hop flavoured track.
20 12 Mylene Farmer - City Of Love (5 weeks: peak #7) 21 13 Alex Winston - The Day I Died (15 weeks; peak #2) 22 NEW Margaret Berger - Apologize AUDIO STREAM VIDEO (language) 23 NEW Riton with Kah-Lo - Rinse and Repeat AUDIO STREAM VIDEO 24 14 Anohni (Antony) - 4 Degrees (6 weeks; peak #9) 25 15 The 1975 - The Sound (2 weeks; peak #15) 26 NEW Underworld - I Exhale SPOTIFY AUDIO STREAM 27 18 JoJo - Save My Soul (5 weeks; peak #15) 28 NEW Selena Gomez - Hands To Myself VIDEO 29 17 Twinnie - Cool (3 weeks; peak #14) 30 20 Marina Kaye - Homeless (12 weeks; peak #1)

3 NEW David Bowie - Lazarus VIDEO
4 3 Purity Ring - Heartsigh VIDEO (5 weeks; peak #2) 5 NEW Nina Nesbitt - Chewing Gum VIDEO

1 1 Taylor Swift - Out Of The Woods VIDEO (17 weeks; peak #1) 2 WEEKS AT #1!
2 21 Ryan Adams - Out Of The Woods AUDIO STREAM VIDEO (12 weeks; peak #1) Making like it's 1956 and competing versions replace each other at the top! Love the song no matter what version! :lol: There are still people not aware.

Twinnie Lee Moore was a Voice UK contestant who has just left soap drama Hollyoaks to return to music. This is better than expected. Sounds like Carrie Underwood.

1 Marina and The Diamonds - Immortal
My very first #1 of 2015 metaphorically stayed on top the entire year as it ends up beating her other three contenders! A vast improvement on the Froot title track which was my #100 of 2014 and the over-rated ballad Happy. What a turnaround! A great lyric about mortality set against a trip-hoppy beat. You know, alternative radio could have had this but no... they gush over Everything Everything... :x :x First time an artist has had my YE top 4!
ALBUMS
1 Marina and The Diamonds - Froot SPOTIFY
What else could it be? In fact, my top two albums were the most obvious there's ever been. Both have been longstayers and companions on my album chart. On this album, Marina streamlined herself by writing the whole thing while still being pop. With musician help from members of Everything Everything, The Cure and Fyfe Dangerfield, it too was near perfect. Highlights include the social commentary of Savages and Weeds and the provocative Better Than That which is allegedly about serial "whore" Ellie Goulding sleeping with Marina's DJ ex behind her back.
Thanks for commenting /clicking. See you next year!

2 Marina and The Diamonds - I'm A Ruin
And this one also got to #3 yet it beats that position on the YE! :lol: A UKMix / Haven fave, it's a shame radio completely ignored it/her. Yes, we know she wasn't going for that angle this time, but all kinds of other promotional tracks got airplay on major stations yet not a single one showed support for this/her. :evil: :cry: The video is like a cheapo of Madonna's Frozen! :lol: Well.... she had no money, who cares? It's Marina, b****!
ALBUMS
2 Charli XCX - Sucker SPOTIFY
Thank God this woman gets airplay. Saving grace of the pop charts, real attitude, real personality, writes her own stuff and ropes in all the cool people (Ariel Rechtshaid and Patrick Berger joined by Vampire Weekend's Rostam, Greg Kurstin and some Rita woman). I waited patiently for the delayed UK release and here it is, playing second fiddle to her old mate...

3 Marina and The Diamonds - Forget
Great pop song and a great video. Love the way she says "tortoise"! :lol: Only peaked at #3 on my chart - but she was in competition with herself...!
ALBUMS
3 Chvrches - Every Open Eye SPOTIFY
The first album was short on truly great songs and didn't live up to their promise but this one upped the ante on the pop quotient and is almost perfect.

4 Marina and The Diamonds - Blue
Marina's fave from her album and a lovely pop song that grows and grows on you.
ALBUMS
4 Bjork - Vulnicura SPOTIFY
I never expected her to make music this good again. A stunning return to form - inspired by the immense pain of her breakup with Matthew Barney. The strings and beats feel from Homogenic pushed to the max with help from producer Arca.

5 Bjork - Stonemilker
Heartbreaking string and beats epic - a cousin to Joga. Neat 360 degree video (first of its kind and since copied).
ALBUMS
5 Meg Myers - Sorry SPOTIFY
After the wait, it was slightly disappointing. Less rock, a bit too much on the side of electronic pop, some EP songs included while the great Go isn't. But she's still in fine voice and feisty spirit and i wish more people would just click.
TOP 4 COMING LATER TONIGHT.

6 Chvrches - Clearest Blue
An instant keyboard pop classic, like Erasure with female vocals. Hopefully will be a single proper this year (and it will have to be a bonus like Taylor's video!).
ALBUMS
6 Sleaford Mods - Key Markets SPOTIFY
It may not have been quite the fave with critics as Divide and Exit (or even been nominated for a Mercury - travesty :evil: :evil: ) but i thought it was more accomplished, better produced and just the breath of foul air modern music needs.

7 Foxes - Body Talk
By far her greatest song, an eighties synth classic similar to Groove Armada / Ladyhawke.
ALBUMS
7 Susanne Sundfor - Ten Love Songs SPOTIFY
I loved her work with M83 and Royksopp but her solo stuff tended to be a bit too folky/obtuse. That changed with this album and its turbo-charged electronica.

HITS
8 Best Coast - Heaven Sent
Rousing alt rock. Sounds like old Veruca Salt or Voice Of The Beehive.
ALBUMS
8 Team Me - Blind As Night SPOTIFY
Norwegian indie pop with soaring melodies. Sort of filling the gap left by Arcade Fire after they went more electronic/disco. Highest placed album by an act that has missed the Hits list (the title track / The All Time High double a nearly made it).
