If you haven't seen my EOY list, it's sitting at the bottom of last year's thread
Jan 5th
It's a new year! However this likely coincides with a not so rapid chart, and it definitely does in this case. Although the boringness actually makes it interesting because Flight Facilities have joined the growing list of 7 week #1s, which is still officially the record. I honestly don't know at this point whether or not they'll be able to hold it. Cloud Nothings could be the threat, they're up to #2 now. Dune via Spender & Delphic also join the top 5. The Killers get another top 10 hit with "Battle Born".
NEW ENTRIES
Well the problem is that at this time of the year, new music is often hard to come by. The only song I have heard from this year that I might consider charting isn't getting released until March and I can't find it anywhere, uuuuugh. Anyway I did find these songs.
The first is from Battleships who scored two entries last year, most notably "In Retrospect" which peaked at #2. Now they've got a 3rd and "Coming Back To You" enters at #30. Really old song but I've just finally gotten into it this week, Disclosure debut with "Latch" at #34. Probably even older but not so much to me, I can't quite pinpoint my addiction to it, but nonetheless Otto Knows is in at #38 with "Million Voices".
Fun fact: With a combined running length of 16:36, this is easily my longest running top 2 ever!

Clair de lune (feat Christine Hoberg) {7 Weeks @ #1}
I really like this chart Hijinx. Amazing to see battle born go top 10. Also extra points for disclosure getting a debut (they are very high on my twenty twelve end of year chart wink wink). Also loving San Cisco, ms mr, both macklemores, Haim and of monsters and men. I likey! Last edited:
You people on this site know so much music. I seriously only now 9 songs on this list. And I only seriously enjoy 3 songs of them 9! Them two songs are Feels Like We Only Go Backwards, Same Love & Thrift Shop. I would love for one of them to eventually go #1. Also Clair De Lune is too slow and long.
Excellent to see Dune via Spender hit top 5! Now that I know they're not one band, saying that sounds weird I am worried though, I hope CDL gets the record outright just so it can outlast Cloud Nothings. Either that or the ultimately superior Black Sand does it! I also like Atoms For Peace's longevity. Nice rises for Delphic and Beach House too. That Battleships newie is good too! Also go Tamey. But seriously wtf, three of the most average dance borefests occupying the three bottom spots where Follow Me, Clouds & Cream and Coming Down could have all been! WTF!
Nice to see Frank Ocean still moving up and breaking the top 20 and a big jump for Same Love. I like Clair De Lune but I'm tiring of it already although it looks like the same can't be said for you haha
Looks like your 'Most weeks at number one' list needs to be updated Awesome to see Flight Facilities still at #1. Also, good to see Muse, San Cisco, The Killers, Beach House, Of Monsters And Men, Tame Impala, Birds Of Tokyo, Owl Eyes, Frank Ocean, Macklewis, Alpine, Flume, Haim, Disclosure (finally ), Adele, Kimbra, Otto Knows, Rudimental and Swedish House Mafia. Sad to see Muse leave though
Firstly, because I keep forgetting to mention it, I think you've missed So American on the most weeks at #1 list; secondly goooo Loony! I'm totAlly hoping it's got another week in it although I'm thinking this is the end of its run. I don't really want Wasted Days there, what are you going to do when it needs to be dethroned; wait for an even longer song!?
Nice to see Baiya in the top five now; since Muse may have given up the ghost, I'm hoping that will be the next number one; it's not without a chance. Awesome to see The Killers so quickly into the top ten, keep going! Also nice jumps for Tame Impala, Frank Ocean and Macklemore.
And 2013 starts with some TRASH! of course. However I'm expecting to like the Battleships song; I think I usually like them. I've also been meaning to listen to Latch for quite a while now so this is a good reason to finally do that. And I didn't like Million Voices much, not that I hated it but I didn't get into it. Perhaps I'll give it another chance sometime. Typing this much on my phone was not fun; feel special?
Some may disagree with my decision, but I can't remember the last rock song that just grabbed my attention like this one, so Cloud Nothings have the new #1 with "Wasted Days". This was a tough call, and it's quite possible I could see Flight Facilities more deserving next week. Alternatively, there's Dune via Spender & Delphic which are still making their stride to the top spot. The Killers move up a couple more spots with "Battle Born", and Tame Impala finally hit the top 10 with "Feels Like We Only Go Backwards".
NEW ENTRIES
Well I assume everyone's seen my EOY. Father John Misty claimed the top spot on that, and I assumed I would never get into another song of his. Incidentally, I saw him perform on late night TV earlier in the week and it was to my disappointment that he wasn't singing "Hollywood...". However that disappointment was wavered when I realised that I really love the song that he did perform, and it gives me the perfect excuse to break his one hit wonder tag. So he's in at #12 with "Nancy From Now On". Otherwise, here's the artist who would be least likely to be called a one hit wonder on my chart. Birds of Tokyo are in with their, err I'd have to look it up at this point, but they've charted a lot of times and now "Lanterns" is in at #34.

Nice to see Same Love still moving up! It would be awesome if that could overtake Thrift Shop very soon! Nice debut for Birds of Tokyo and cool to see Skyfall still in the chart, although I think it may be her last week
I disagree with your decision, I mean, what do you think this is, a chart of your own personal favourite songs or something!? I do prefer Loony and hope that it gets back there for the record next week, but I'm not expecting it to, also I'd probably prefer Baiya hit #1 anyway.
Nice to see the aforementioned Baiya still rising, as well as Battle Born still climbing decently; go top five! You too Biloxi! Cool to see Tame Impala in the top ten now as well. Also good jumps for Frank Ocean, Same Love and Latch.
That's a very high debut for TRASH! and how out of place it looks. For some reason though I feel like I really like the title and will like the song based on that; perhaps it's stirring up some dormant memories somehow. Depending on how slow I am finishing this comment I may even de-TRASH! it before you see this, but that's unlikely. I don't think it will take me about half an hour to discuss one more debut. Even if said debut is BoT, which yay! I bet this ad that is avoiding me ridiculously is why you're charting it. Even so, I approve. It's a very good song, better than This Fire I think, but still no Plands.
My current situation means it's best if I don't YT new songs, so we'll have to wait to see what I think of those two new entries. For now they are obviously TRASH! but quite frankly I didn't think Father Richard had much of a chance to rid its one-hit wonder status. There you go.
And wtf. It's no Captain Ace. And ftr I disagree with you wtf go away Otto! At least the other two are gone. Come on Duney! Yay for Delphic, Tamey and Macklemore rising.
Slow times for the top of the chart, the top four are unchanged. Cloud Nothings hold off Flight Facilities, and Dune via Spender & Delphic can't quite catch up. San Cisco return to the top 5 with "Beach", The Killers score a new peak of #7 with "Battle Born", Tame Impala are up to #8 with "Feels Like We Only Go Backwards", and Father John Misty gets a 2nd top 10 hit with "Nancy From Now On". This keeps Beach House perched at #11, while a slow middle section keeps some oldies afloat. However, this is just for that section, because the lower half of the chart sees a big clean out of hits. Amidst this, Flume makes top 20 with "On Top", Haim rise to #23 with "Don't Save Me", and Birds of Tokyo move 5 places up into the top 30 with "Lanterns".
NEW ENTRIES
For the first time in half a year, there are 5 debuts on the chart, signifying a clean out of old 2012 hits. Well that would work if a lot of these songs still weren't from 2012. But oh well. Winter People see the best success with "Two's Company" becoming their debut to the chart at #13. Cold War Kids haven't been much of a force on my chart because despite loving their debut, it predates my chart, so they've only picked up scraps of chart success. "Miracle Mile" is their first appearance in 2 years. It's their 3rd entry, and it's in at #22. MS MR had a couple big hits last year. The more notable of them just dropping out this week. But it's still been a while since they've had new music in the chart, and now "Fantasy" becomes their 3rd entry and it's in at #28. A 2012 dance hit that I've been loving but has only just hit my chart; Porter Robinson is in at #35 with "Language". Well, I charted Beyonce once...

When I glanced at your chart and saw that there were a few debuts, I was hoping there would be a song that I know, but alas, there is not. I may have heard Solange's track the other day, but I'm not sure. Great to see Same Love and Lanterns rising. I hope they can both make charges toward the top in coming weeks.
Poor Loony is not gonna get back on top now I don't think, come on Baiya! It doesn't look like it has the momentum to get there for next week, but who knows. Apart from you, I mean.
Nice to see San Cisco, The Killers and Tame Impala all inching up in the top ten and Father Word Salad joining there. Good jumps also for Frank Ocean, Macklemore, Battleships and Lanterns!!! Go Lanterns!
Wow, five debuts seems an awful lot for you. And to think, 80% of them started out as TRASH! but it's already down to 40%; I'm so efficient this week. Naturally, the highest one would remain TRASH!y, but at least the bottom one does too, perhaps your username needs a change to solangeknowlesfan203? Dog Day Mile is very cool though and I'm glad to see it in, I hope it can make top ten. I didn't have any particular problems with Fantasy or Language either, but they didn't grab me. Which is probably good, I mean, I might press charges depending on the type of grab, and also if I thought I could get enough money out of it, perhaps if they're hits I could?
Yay for Solange! It's definitely something different and not what I was expecting from her! Great rise for Same Love and Thinkin Bout You. With Same Love's rise (and Thrift Shop's drop) you must have a new number one on your ARIA Personal which is awesome. Great to see Million Voices up as well.
Yay for FLWOGB, Same Love, Thrift Shop & Losing You.
Disagree with Alleyt though it's a clone of Wynter Gordon's latest work. You probably haven't heard it though because she's releasing it independently now
Awesome top 11. Nice to see Cloud Nothings, Flight Facilities, San Cisco, Muse, The Killers, Tame Impala, Father John Misty, Beach House, Of Monsters And Men, Frank Ocean, Flume, Macklewis, Birds Of Tokyo, Owl Eyes, Disclosure, Porter Robinson (Language ), and Otto Knows.
Took me to #21 to find a song that I actually know, although clearly there are acts in the Top 20 i know of. Turns out I know a grand total of 2 songs and by know I mean would recognise if they were played in my presence,
Cloud Nothings are atop for a 3rd week still waiting for new challengers to surface. The entire top 3 holds while San Cisco get a new peak of #4 with "Beach". Father John Misty rises in the top 10, now up to #7 with "Nancy From Now On". Winter People hit the top 10 for the first time too, "Two's Company" is up to #10. Biggest rise of the week goes to Cold War Kids with "Miracle Mile" up 8 places to #14.
NEW ENTRIES
A slow week as I wasn't concerned with new music too much this week, so just picking up more scraps from last year. The first being Jessie Ware who enters at #30 with "Wildest Moments". Next up is Kendrick Lamar at #36 with "Swimming Pools (Drank)", and finally The 1975 with "Sex" at #39.

I finally got around to hearing Mountain Sound, I didn't enjoy it as much as Little Talks, but I am pleased to see it rebound slightly this week. Shame to see Same Love stall (hopefully temporarily), but I am pleased to see Lanterns rising again.
Jessie TRASH! is the only thing I'm yet to hear (oh and that Father John Misty one which I will get around to). How dare you make it the highest entry!!!!!!1111!1
But seriously can something take over Cloud Nothings soon Excellent to see Flume, MS MR and San Cisco rise.
Time for a new number one I think, but it doesn't seem like anything will really have the momentum to take it, perhaps Daddy Word Salad is an outside chance within the next few weeks, I don't know. It's really hard to say what could get there. Come on Loony for the lols. Or Baiya, but that seems done, sadface.
Nice jumps for Winter People, Cold War Kids and Lanterns! Perhaps Lanterns could be number one next week? A meteoric rise to celebrate the fact that BoT have a top 5 hit on ARIA now, although it's also kind of sad, the originators of TRASH! are no longer a TRASH! band, who will spearhead TRASH! now?
Nobody this week, because there's none, wow! Not only that but I am charting two of the entries, so they must be okay. I'm not overly surprised to see either Jessie Ware or The 1975 enter, but then I am also a little stunned. But it's nice to see Wildest Moments in and it's awesome to see Sex debut as well, I really hope it can last a while. Even the other entry isn't as bad as I went in thinking it'd be, the chorus was quite good. Breezeblocks next week?
Great to see Clair de Lune enjoy a brilliant 7 week stint at #1. It's also great to see so many of us charting Baiya now This Fire, Otto Know, Lanterns, Franky, Thrift Shop, Porter Robinson, The Killers and Tame Impala are all pleasing to see. Sad to see Sweet Life out though.

So there's a lovely countdown thingie that happens every year in January. It usually doesn't affect my chart much, but since I've acquired the whole lot of these songs (in record time!), I haven't listened to non-countdown songs very much this past week. Flight Facilities had one of these songs and have now incredibly returned to #1 for an 8th week. This is a new record! This pushes Cloud Nothings down to #2 and Dune via Spender are #3 for a 4th week in a row. Father John Misty gets a 2nd top 5 hit in "Nancy From Now On", and Winter People rise 3 places to #7. Cold War Kids are on the hunt for a 2nd top 10 hit with "Miracle Mile" up to #11. Flume & Haim otherwise are hunting for a first. MS MR & Birds of Tokyo rise 6 places together, while Kendrick Lamar has the biggest rise of the week with "Swimming Pools (Drank)" up 11 places to #25.
NEW ENTRIES
I am possibly the only person who doesn't find any of these 5 debuts to be irritating; enjoy! An entry that ended up much higher than I initially expected, The Strokes are back again! This isn't the proper single but I couldn't wait, so they're in with "One Way Trigger" at #23, which is their 4th entry. I used to not like this, but I slowly grew to like parts of it, and now I fully like it properly. Everything Everything debut at #27 with "Cough Cough". Now I can say that Lost is the only top 10 H100 entry that I didn't chart I have difficulty explaining this one, but I find this particular rap collaboration to be very catchy and everyone delivers with no weak link, so A$AP Rocky is in at #34 with "F**kin' Problems". Before this debut, Atoms For Peace were statistically one of the biggest one hit wonders ever on my chart, they've made amends with "Judge, Jury & Executioner" in at #36, which is not a Myxomatosis cover

I don't know why, but I had a feeling Flight Facilities would get back on top. Super pleased to see Birds Of Tokyo hitting the top 20. Mixed week for Macklemore, but good to see Same Love up.
Great to see Loony back on top, claiming the record outright, yay! It's certainly the better of the overlong songs, perhaps Wasted Days was the peak length for a #1 and now they'll get progressively shorter? I hope so.
Perhaps Nancy has a chancey at number one, it's certainly looking like the most likely contender for now. I wouldn't mind that, but I do prefer Loony, plus you need a really ridiculous run at #1 for something, so let it be Loony! Nice gains for Cold War Kids, Birds Of Tokyo and Same Love. An 11 place rise seems uncharacteristic of you also.
I also don't find any of the five debuts to be irritating, three are TRASH! yes, but not irritating. Until I clean things up, then I'm probably out. Still, I love that you've joined the crew of lateness this year and an added bonus is that it's the same song, yay Breezeblocks! Cough Cough is good too, but I've pretty much decided this week that it won't be making my chart. Watch now as I magically start to love it. Nah. Seriously gross that you made me hear the Rocky thing though, I was all set to never hear that.
Awesome to see Muse holding on in that top 10 and Mountain Sound doing well! Excellent to see Lanterns making a rise - I hope to see that in your top 10 soon - same with Same Love!
I don't really know much else in the chart but hopefully Thrift Shop can hang on a bit longer
Wow, I didn't expect Clair de lune to climb back to #1. Awesome . All you need now is Pyramids in the Top 3
Good to see Clair de lune, Wasted Days, Nancy From Now On, Beach, Panic Station, Feels Like We Only Go Backwards, On Top, Mountain Sound, Wild, Lanterns, Thinkin Bout You, Language, Swimming Pools (Drank), Told You So, Cough Cough, Latch, F**kin' Problems, Thrift Shop, and Speed The Collapse.
Yes we have a new #1! It's not stupidly old either! Winter People ascend 6 places to claim #1 for "Two's Company". What can I say? I love a good mellow indie rock song. They're Australian too. It's the 82nd #1 in the chart's history. This pushes Flight Facilities to #2 and they'll have a tough time getting back. Also in the mix is Father John Misty who is up to #3 with "Nancy From Now On". Otherwise in the top 10, Delphic & Tame Impala hold their positions at #6 & #9, while Cold War Kids jump to #8 giving them their 2nd top 10 hit, and first in over 4 years.
NEW ENTRIES
It's a slow week for entries but I have a feeling next week could be bigger... The highest entry comes from Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, can you believe they currently have 3 songs in my chart?! I can't. In any case, the 3rd one incoming is "Can't Hold Us" at #35. I sort of like Biffy Clyro but have never really been able to get into them. Nonetheless, they score their first chart entry ever with "Black Chandelier" at #40.

I vaguely know the Biffy song, but I'll need to give it a proper go. Great to see H100 tracks in there, but A$AP Rocky is also awesome Great to see Strokes crack the top 20 also, I think they should go top 10 at least. Atoms For Peace also
I think I kind of liked the new #1 but I don't remember it really, I certainly didn't hate it anyway. I prefer Loony, but now that it got the record it's probably time for a newbie on top, sadly you were never likely to give it a ridiculously mammoth run on top, much as I would have liked that. I'm really not sure between Winter People and Nancy which I'd prefer on top, but I think probably Winter People. Clearly I'll have to remind myself of it.
Nice to see Cold War Kids make the top ten, even if it was at the expense of The Killers, they'd clearly peaked and CWK could keep going because they are in fact a band! Who knew? I also quite approve of the jumps for Lanterns, Cough Cough, Breezeblocks, Atoms For Peace and of course The 1975!
Thrilled about the debuts too, Biffy Clyro because it's Biffy and I like the song and am charting it myself, so having someone agree with me validates me, yay! And Macklewis because now you're charting three from them which is really something I'd never have seen coming but it's fun; also because though it's TRASH! I was meant to de-TRASH! it a loooooong time ago and now I'm forced to in the very near future so that's somewhat convenient.
Two weeks of Winter People. They didn't exactly have competition this week. Next week they possibly do, Father John Misty is up another spot to #2, going for his 2nd #1 which is as impressive as it is bizarre. Cold War Kids score a first top 5 hit with "Miracle Mile", and MS MR score their 3rd consecutive top 10 hit with "Fantasy" up to #10.
NEW ENTRIES
British India keep on delivering. This is my 6th calendar year making my chart, and they have made a debut in all 6 of them now, for a total of 8. "Summer Forgive Me" debuts all the way at #11, the highest debut of the year. Well I've never had a real chance to chart them, so why pass this once in a lifetime opportunity? That is an apt cliche to use too, because My Bloody Valentine's last studio album was released before I was born. It also went on to be one of the most critically acclaimed albums of the '90s, so there was a lot of pressure surrounding this new album. For the moment I think they really pulled it off! So "New You" enters at #18. I charted Flume's most popular song, and his 3rd most popular song. I suppose it's time to chart his 5th most popular song. "Insane" is in at #24. And it's another Tame Impala single, "Mind Mischief" is the 4th entry from "Lonerism" and their 6th overall. It's in at #30. And oh do I love when I can really get behind a hit on the charts. So catchy and all that. Youngblood Hawke are #37 with "We Come Running".

Looks like FJM might get a second #1 on your chart which means i'll have to listen it possibly , but nice to see Lanterns & Kendrick rise, yay Youngblood Hawke debut!
I still didn't listen to the Winter People song again, so probable yay for it staying on top, although we semi-TRASH!ed Nancy some more at work this week out of nowhere so I could go that too maybe. I really should pay more attention when semi-TRASH! happens. All up, I guess I'd like to see Miracle Mile take it, but I wouldn't be adverse to either of the top two being there next week and CWK after that.
Great to see Lanterns pushing for the top ten and Biffy making a big move. Sadly there's not much else for me in the way of gains. It's sad that Wildest Moments and Sex look gone, but I was surprised they ever even got in. You so need a new Maximo song to chart now too, as do I.
Awesome huge debut for British India! At least I'm guessing it's awesome, because they've never not been awesome, so why would they start now? And yes, My Bloody Valentine exist, and are a different band to Bullet For My Valentine, did they really need to both release new music around the same time? I've been seeing you refer to MBV and in my head thinking it was BFMV and finding it weird how much you were digging them. Your TRASH! estimate was wrong though, both Flume and Alt-J are semi-TRASH! and I think I like them, at least Alt-J for sure. And of course the only fully TRASH!less debut comes in last; I can always count on you. Nice to see Youngblood Hawke in, hope it can do well!
Go Lanterns! Great debut for We Come Running, it is quite the popular song here. Are Youngblood Hawke a 'JJJ artist'? (A poor arbitrary term really, but could not think of a better word). So awesome to see Loony still top 3 for you! Porter Robinson is nice too, looks like Delphic has peaked
I would have to agree my good friend bluey up there with the probable yay, it was good but I can't remember it. Besides the MBV one which I haven't heard, yay for all the debuts! And wow that's a lot of them! Go Misty, A$AP, Strokes and Kendrick for the rises. Essentially I don't mind losing all of those, even though the lower three I charted/really like Hoping to see British India top ten next week; but realistically if I don't get around to relistening to Winter People and/or I didn't like it as much as I thought I would second time round, I'm hoping for Misty even though I would consider that one nowhere near as amazzing as HFCS
Yay to Birds Of Tokyo and Same Love. Allowing us to have something in common on our charts. Although I fear with this commonality that your chart is becoming a tad too mainstream for my liking.
Well now I don't know what I'm trying to achieve Billy
Feb 24th
Winter People are still at it! I suppose they would appreciate the loneliness at the top, it is the best friend of theirs after all. The top three holds though. Cold War Kids inch up another spot with "Miracle Mile" to #4 though, and British India naturally leap into the top 10 at #6 with "Summer Forgive Me". Additionally, Birds of Tokyo see yet another top 10 hit with "Lanterns" creeping in at #10 this week. Outside of the top 10 we see strong gains from My Bloody Valentine, Flume, A$AP Rocky, Tame Impala, Biffy Clyro & Youngblood Hawke, but no one can move more than 5 places up this week!
NEW ENTRIES
I have never charted James Blake before! Mainly because none of his songs have ever really clicked with me, or if they have, it took way too long to happen. In any case, it happened and "Retrograde" bolts in at #16. On the other hand, I've charted Ball Park Music quite a few times. With their latest album they've struggled to find proper success though. They're finally making up with it with (probably) new single "Fence Sitter" charting up at #25 this week. It's their 4th song to chart. The Strokes are back! It's been nearly a month! In any case, to follow up on their current #14 hit "One Way Trigger" with their proper single "All The Time". It's definitely vintage Room on Fire Strokes, and it's in at #35 as their 5th charter to date.

As much as I would love Lanterns to hit the top, I'm starting to think that it is going to be too hard, so I'm glad that it has at least made the top ten. I am also pleased to see Youngblood Hawke and Macklemore / Ryan Lewis rising.
I still didn't check out the Winter song, so I'm still presumably okay with it staying on top, however I did pay active attention yesterday to Nancy and even recognised it, so I must say that of the top two I am now firmly supporting it to take over. That said, Cold War Kids would be nice, but they don't look to have the momentum British India have, go go go!
It is awesome to see Lanterns hit the top ten. I didn't have the highest of hopes for it's performance on your chart, this is about the best I expected so anything from here on is a bonus I guess. That's not to say I want it to stop; go for the top! Also pleased to see Biffy, Youngblood Hawke and Macklewis rising.
I may not have reminded myself of the #1, but I did catch up on all that TRASH! you keep leaving strewn about the place, and I even conveniently have had a helping hand to start on the new lot you tossed last night, right after I cleaned up! And Retrograde was very cool, I like! I would predict that I'll like The Strokes song, but after hearing One Way Trigger I have no idea what to expect from them anymore so who knows. And I normally have the misconception about Ball Park Music but I'm realising that was wrong and that I generally like their songs, so perhaps I think I'll like this one too, TRASH!y though it is. I guess you could say I'm sitting on the fence, lololol!!!1!!!1!!!!one1!!1!!
Yay for new music from The Strokes! Haven't heard it yet but still yay. Nice to see Birds of Tokyo hit the top tens and Solange still moving up. Also cool rises for We Come running and Can't Hold Us.
4 weeks for Winter People now. Father John Misty was challenging but now has to step back a spot as British India rocket to #2 with "Summer Forgive Me". They've had a #1 hit in "Beneath The Satellites" 3 years ago, can they do it again? But there's more action in the top 10, Birds of Tokyo inch another spot up, but My Bloody Valentine and especially James Blake rocket into the top 10, both with their first ever chart entries. The Strokes may be losing momentum with "One Way Trigger", but they still manage the biggest move of the week with "All The Time" up 14 places to #21. Tame Impala also post an impressive 10 place jump to #16 with "Mind Mischief", while Flume gets a 2nd top 15 hit, and A$AP Rocky & Ball Park Music hit the top 20.
NEW ENTRIES
It's a generic indie-fest, my favourite My chart is just under 5 years old, so there's little opportunity for any artist to see a big comeback (MBV don't count ), so incidentally, this sets a new record for the longest gap between charting songs. Phoenix last charted with "Lisztomania" in 2009, which barely limped into the top 20 at all, so perhaps they can do better with new song "Entertainment", which enters at #23. Haim surprised me with a hit in "Don't Save Me" a few months back, and now they're in again with latest single "Falling", because how can I resist anything that channels '90s TV classic 'Round The Twist?! It's in at #28. Foals got a #1 album! And it's their best album to date imo! I've been trying to push "Inhaler" in for months but I've just now been able to do it. It's their 1st chart entry and is #34. More Foals! This time with their more recent (but still pretty old) single "My Number". It's in at #39.

Still pleased to see BOT continuing to inch closer. At least they are moving up! Great to see Can't Hold Us and We Come Running up again this week, as well as Same Love and Mountain Sound hanging around for another week.
Whoo Lanterns! Sad to see Clair de Lune's reign of the top 3 over though Awesome longevity for Mountain Sound! Go Youngblood Hawke, Can't Hold Us, Baiya (although that is also on the way down)!
I'm hoping possibly next week for British India to overtake Winter People for top spot .Also some cool jumps for British India ,Flume ,Macklemore & Ryan Lewis ,Birds Of Tokyo ,The Strokes and Tame Impala . Also good to see Frank Ocean's song "Thinkin Bout You" because i'm not really a fan of that song .Not being a troll or anything though.
Nancy is now no-chancey, goooo Brindia!!! The Winter song was fine and all, but I really much prefer Summer Forgive Me; nice jump that I hope as set it up well to be the new #1.
The two moves into the top ten I did kind of expect to happen, but I thought MBV would make the large one and Blakey would sneak in. MBV song seemed like something destined for #1 on your chart to be honest, instead Retrograde is coming in will all the momentum. I wouldn't mind terribly if it got there, but I do prefer Brindia.
I also like the jumps for Ball Park Music (single yet?), Biffy Clyro, Youngblood Hawke and Macklewton. And Lanterns of course; keep sneaking up. Battle Born is sadly fading fast; I hope there's a fourth charter to come.
So, four debuts. Despite the fact that the first is TRASH!, I must approve of it because I love Phoenix! And I'm just going to assume that I'll approve wholeheartedly of it when I do hear it. The next I disapprove of because it's TRASH! and that's yucky and also I assume when I do hear it that I won't curr much about it if at all. Also I am still annoyed at the annoying customer who was annoying asking for their non-existent album, and it's all Haim's fault! Inhaler is semi-TRASH! most assuredly, but some that I feel confident that I don't mind. My Number is possibly the best of the debuts, because it isn't even slightly TRASH! and I like it. Naturally, it comes in lowest; I hope it rises well.
7 16 2 7 James Blake Retrograde 9 10 8 9 Birds of Tokyo Lanterns 16 26 3 16 Tame Impala Mind Mischief 18 12 20 8 Tame Impala Feels Like We Only Go Backwards 24 24 7 24 Solange Losing You 25 18 13 12 Flume On Top (feat T.Shirt) 28 NE 1 28 Haim Falling 31 23 10 14 Haim Don't Save Me 35 31 27 1 Of Monsters and Men Mountain Sound
Looks like it's the battle of Summer vs. Winter for #1 next week I like Summer Forgive Me, Clair de lune, Wasted Days, Retrogade, Lanterns (please peak higher), Beach, Insane, Mind Mischief, Swimming Pools (Drank), Feel Like We Only Go Backwards, F**kin' Problems, Panic Station, On Top, Language, Falling, We Come Running, Can't Hold Us, Cough Cough, Mountain Sound, Same Love, and My Number!
British India have done it! "Summer Forgive Me" rises to the top spot to become their 2nd #1, after "Beneath The Satellites" in early 2010. "Two's Company" drops after 4 straight weeks at #1, which has not happened since "Raiders" in 2011. British India aren't the only ones making waves though, James Blake continues to zoom, now up to #3 with "Retrograde". My Bloody Valentine score the only other new peak in the top 10 as "New You" slides up to #8. Flume & Tame Impala are hoping to join too, as their latest efforts are now up to #11 & #12 respectively. Haim make the largest move of the week with "Falling" up 6 places.
NEW ENTRY
It's a slow week this time, but I think next week should improve. Nonetheless, the only entry this week comes from Chvrches. They remind me of The Knife, who I like, and Purity Ring, who I don't like, but I like them! "Recover" enters at #25.

Pretty cool #1 I guess. I can't really get into Retrograde but I suppose it's alright, it's #3 on your chart. I know of My Bloody Valentine but I can't say I know that song. What is this Flume song? Great to see Ball Park Music in amongst things. I happen to be listening to Entertainment right now, I like this track right now. I still am not interested in listening to F**kin Problems. Good rise for Haim. Haim is good. Churches!!!!!1!!11! I would be great if Inhaler could rise more. Cough x2 deserves better.
Awesome to see British India take the top spot, I would like them to stay there, but Blakey is lurking hardcore, I guess that'd be decent too. Or there's something else which I probably wouldn't prefer, certainly not until I hear it.
I do like all of the top six at the moment though, which is good. Shame Lanterns couldn't move up, but after the all 9's, perhaps next week. Great to see jumps for Tame Impala, Ball Park Music, Haim, Biffy Clyro, Macklemore, Youngblood Hawke and Foals.
Shame to see Gaslight out; hopefully they have another entry to come. Especially sad as it was replaced by TRASH! and some with such a fugly, fugly name. I've come across the name before, but never listened, they'd wanna be good to make up for the name.
I'm yet to hear a Chvrches, or maybe I have and I just can't remember how they sound. Actually come to think of it it's probably the latter. Cool to see Brindia take top spot. Nice to see Tame Impala and Strokes make decent rises also. Yay for Atoms For Peace rebounding even though in the scheme of things it's quite insignificant!
Cool to see British India as the new number one and awesome rises for Macklemore, Ball Park Music, The Strokes, Flume and Tame Impala. Hopefully Summer Forgive can stay there a little longer then last week's number one.
Once again, a new #1! The 84th #1 in fact! This time it comes from James Blake and his lovely "Retrograde", which moves up two places and dislodges British India's "Summer Forgive Me". Assuming they don't get back to #1, this will be British India's 2nd one week #1. Winter People & Father John Misty also slide down a place to #3 and #5. My Bloody Valentine move up a couple more places to #6, and new to the top 10 is Tame Impala's "Mind Mischief" which moves 12-10, becoming their 5th top 10 hit. A debut heavy week means that the rises are light, with Chvrches' "Recover" having the largest rise of 4 places to #21.
NEW ENTRIES
The debut count is as big as the debuts are crazy and out there! You'll never guess who has the top debut! Owl Eyes of course! New single "Closure" was just released and shoots straight in at #4, following ridiculous success which anyone who follows my chart would have noticed The chart hiatuses keep ending, this time we have Midnight Juggernauts returning to the chart for the first time in nearly 3 years. "Ballad Of The War Machine" becomes their 5th entry and is impressively in at #12. It's a crazily huge hit in the UK, but it's still finding its place over here. Nonetheless, Bastille are in at #28 with "Pompeii". And the crazily huge hit that blocked that from #1 in the UK also finds its place into my chart. Justin Timberlake's 8 minute epic "Mirrors" is in at #31 and is his first appearance in my chart. And because I'm on a 'lol wtf that's way too pop for jinx' run, let's throw in Olly Murs' "Army of Two" at #33, because it's so damn catchy. Now back to cliche charting artists, Yeah Yeah Yeahs are back! They haven't been in my chart since "Zero" in 2009, which is a gap even longer than Phoenix's recent record. It took ages to grow on me, but "Sacrilege" is in at #35.

There's Blakey! It both is and isn't a surprise to see him on top. I expected him to pass up Brindia for it this week, but I knew that top debut for Oldie was coming and thought she might take it. Still, it's nice to see James there, for however long he lasts, probably one week, but I'd still have preferred Brindia.
The shockingly large amount of debuts really do slow sown the rises, but it's nice to see Ball Park Music, Phoenix, Haim and Macklewton all creeping up.
Six debuts! Six! Wow! Oldie was expected and is probably fine with me but not great. Midnight Juggernauts will probably end up in the same boat. Bastille! I hoped you'd end up charting it, but I thought it might only maybe happen, and even then not do much; it's probably already higher than I thought it'd get. But that doesn't mean it can peak there. I do so love it. Mirrors is a true surprise. It's a decent song, but not one I thought I'd see you charting, I approve! Olly you forewarned me about, but without that it's also not one I'd have picked. Again I approve, it's very catchy. And YYY will probably be in the same boat as Oldie and Midnight Juggernauts; I'd have predicted better for it, but then you said what you just said about it.
Oh, a couple of debuts that I know! Great to see Olly and JT in your chart. However, those debuts and the rise for Macklemore doesn't hide the fact that BoT are on the way down, but I am pleased overall. Oh, I have also heard Pompeii too, so I'm glad to see it debut.
I get Blakey now. I refuse to chart Juggy until I can buy it I find it odd that Tamey have made top 10, it just doesn't resonate with me as well as Elephant, Apoco and Backwards. But hey, I charted it Sad to see OM&M gone, in fact naww for all of those (why couldn't it be Language? ). In any case, I find the bottom 4 entries sort of average, with the exception of possibly YYY and to an extent Bastille. Maybe I should see what this bloody valentine thing is all about...
"Retrograde" reigns for a 2nd week. British India hold at #2. Owl Eyes overtakes Winter People for the #3 spot while Father John Misty holds at #5. I've had "Wasted Days" come up on shuffle a couple times this week and I can't stress how fun it is to rock out to it for 9 minutes, it's back up a bit. Tame Impala inch up to a new peak of #9, and Midnight Juggernauts score a 3rd top 10 hit with "Ballad Of The War Machine". "Mirrors" rises 7 places for the biggest rise this week.
NEW ENTRIES
You know that funny artist name I charted last year? I should hope so because I'm still charting it in my top 20. That of course would be Dune via Spender's "Black Sand". If not already obvious, it's actually a collaboration between two artists, and the former gets a solo appearance this week, as Dune enters at #20 with "Oh Innocence". After charting for the first time near the end of last year, Hungry Kids of Hungary are back with their 2nd chart appearance, "When Yesterday's Gone" is at #29. This lovely little tune from New Zealand is taking their charts by storm and will hopefully do similarly here, Lorde debuts to the chart with "Royals" at #37.

Yay Royals! Great jumps for Closure, Mind Mischief, Falling, Entertainment, Can't Hold Us , Pompeii, Mirrors, Army Of Two. Sad to lose Language and My Number. Wow Retrograde . Cool to see Clair de lune still going!
Yes for Lorde!! I hope she can be successful over there as well, it would be a nice surprise (as surprising as it was when she debuted at #1 here). Great rise for Mirrors, love that track, and nice to see Can't Hold Us and Pompeii score new peaks. Also yay for Falling.
Wow I know or like 15/40 songs on your chart. This is surely a new record for me!
You're charting Mirrors and Pompeii too?!?! I was just scrolling through the chart and thought all my favs (CdL, Lanterns, Delphic) were all falling until I saw those two! Great to see Army Of Two on the way up.
Coincidentally I am listening to Mirrors and Pompeii right now. Last edited:
Nice to see Blakey still on top, a bit of a surprise since I was expecting Oldie to take it by now, perhaps tonight. It's really quite a good top three, and I even like the next two a bit too.
It's a good jump for Haim, I'd like to see them get to the top ten, but it's even better jumps for Bastille and Justin Timberlake; keep going! I was expecting Mirrors to be only a minor hit on your chart, but at the rate of that rise perhaps it can do much better than I was expecting. Is top ten out of the question? Also a good gain for Olly.
TRASH! of course tops the debuts, I presume I won't coo much either way about that one. The next is absolute and utter semi-TRASH! but one I expect I like because all that semi-TRASH! is generally appealing to me. And the last used to be TRASH! up until about twenty minutes ago, now it is so no longer and I can say that it is indeed total jinx music, but also that I liked it.
It's no shock to see "Retrograde" holding at #1 for 3 weeks. "Closure" provides the only movement in the top 5 for the 2nd week in a row, moving up to #2 now. The only other new peak in the top 10 come from Midnight Juggernauts, who are up 4 places to #6. Haim & The Strokes continue to approach the top 10, now sitting at #11 & #12 respectively. The biggest rise of the week comes from Lorde's "Royals" which is up 8 places to #29.

Rudimental had a top 10 hit last year with "Feel The Love", and followed it up with a top 20 hit in "Not Giving In". They've had a couple other songs come to my attention and I've mostly pretended that they don't exist. I'm surprised that they've found a 3rd entry on my chart. Even more shockingly, without the help of John Newman! "Waiting All Night" is in at #23. Portugal. The Man made #1 on my chart just over a year ago with "So American" (which is still excellent), and now they're also back with a 3rd entry. "Evil Friends" is in at #26. I blame Stockholm syndrome; I hear this on the radio nearly every day and it's finally grown on me. Asta gets a 2nd entry with "I Need Answers". This brings the cool fact that I'm charting artists from 5 different Australian states. SA, lift your game

Good to see Lanterns holding in the top 20. Shame to see Can't Hold Us and We Come Running down, but I am very pleased to see Pompeii, Mirrors and Army Of Two improving every week.
First of all on a bad note, it's sad to see Flume (On Top) and Muse (Panic Station) both leaving . Hopefully Tame Impala's song "Feels Like We Only Go Backwards" doesn't go more backwards (bad joke alert) .Cool jumps for Justin Timberlake, Owl Eyes and The Strokes .
Glad James Blake is still powering on at #1 and Bastille and JT are approaching top 20. I just noticed "F**kin' Problems" peaked at the same spot for both of us
Nice to see Blakey still on top, you clearly like it more than I somehow had the impression you did. I do hope it is able to hang on for another week, but I like Closure so I won't be hatring on it if it gets there instead.
Plenty of great jumps this week, such as Haim, Bastille, Justin Timberlake, Hungry Kids, Olly Murs and Lorde. It's a bit of a shame that Mirrors and Pompeii have slowed down, hopefully this doesn't mean they've about peaked now.
So three debuts that were TRASH! but then I washed them, but that was a while ago now so they might be semi-TRASH!y by now again. Why can't things stay clean? I feel like I enjoyed all three of them though, but enjoyed Rudimental and Asta more than I expected I would, and Portugal less than I thought. Why must you try to trick me so?
P.TM Haven't heard new Asta or Rudimental but I know/love Evil Friends. Would like to see Closure get #1 this week, I probably prefer it over Retrograde now. That being said, Juggy would be better. But so would TROY. Nevertheless, I do have some catching up to do with some of these songs at some point so maybe this long-winded sentence would remind me if I ever read this comment again Glad to see Lorde and Strokes up.
"Retrograde" settles in for its 4th week at the top. Perhaps "Closure" got closer, but it remains at #2 this week. British India hold at #3, while Midnight Juggernauts move up two places to #4. This is their 3rd top 5 hit. The rest of the top 10 is down a spot, except for Haim, who ironically rise, and get their first top 10 hit with "Falling" at #7. Outside the top 10, Asta has the biggest rise with "I Need Answers" up 12 places to #25.
NEW ENTRIES
The Trouble With Templeton scored a minor hit on my chart last year with "Six Months In A Cast". Now they're back with their recent cafe smash hit "Like A Kid". Apparently it rips off the IT Crowd theme too Nonetheless, it's in at #33. Tame Impala just dropped out of my chart, so it couldn't hurt to get another WA band in, and what better than one that basically is Tame Impala! Pond are in at #37 with "Giant Tortoise".

Clair de lune (feat Christine Hoberg) {8 Weeks @ #1}
I stumbled across that Chvrches track the other day on rage and didn't turn it off, so I guess I am pleased to see it rise I have also heard "Royals" and am pleased that it is rising as well. Shame to see BoT and Olly down, but nice to see JT and Bastille hit the top 20.
Wow Retrograde. Great to see Closure (next #1?), Summer Forgive Me, Falling, Wasted Days, Mind Mischief, Clair de lune, Entertainment, Insane, Waiting All Night, Mirrors, Pompeii, Lanterns, Royals, Army Of Two, Can't Hold Us, Like A Kid, Inhaler, Beach, One Way Trigger, Giant Tortoise, F**kin' Problems, and Swimming Pools (Drank). Sad to see We Come Running and Feels Like We Only Go Backwards leave.
I really don't know which I prefer out of Retrograde and Closure, so for once I'm unsure about which I'd prefer on top but in a situation where I know and like them both! I guess I'll continue hoping for Blakey for now, because I like seeing long #1 runs on your chart and maybe he can get one going. Or Brindia can just get back there, I definitely prefer that one.
Nice to see Haim reach the top ten, even if it is at the expense of poor Loony which barely got any time in there at all! I'm also very happy to see both Mirrors and Pompeii sneak in to the top twenty this week and I'll continue to hope that they keep rising. Good jump for Lorde too, and wow, Asta!
And then the TRASH! Sigh. Every week I go through this, it's never ending. And this week it's worse because you've obviously been spending plenty of time in cafes to chart that Templeton thing, and yet you've snubbed completely the #1 cafe song in the ENTIRE COUNTRY! I just have no idea what you're thinking here, clearly all that coffee and cake has screwed up your head big time. On the other TRASH! hand I think both turtles and tortoises are really cool, so I am predisposed to liking (and perhaps licking, which I typed first) that kind of TRASH! right off the bat. I hope it can live up to the name. I also like ponds ftr.
5 weeks for "Retrograde" now, becoming the outright longest run at #1 for 2013. Of course this means "Closure" is stuck at #2 for a 3rd week. Midnight Juggernauts close in though, with "Ballad Of The War Machine" up to #3, pushing British India down to #4. Winter People hold at #5 for a 10th straight week in the top 5. Haim move up a spot to #6, and Phoenix get their first top 10 hit with "Entertainment" bulleting from #14 to #9 in its 7th week. The biggest move of the week comes from The Trouble With Templeton who are up 7 places to #26 with "Like A Kid".
NEW ENTRIES
All of these artists are new to the chart, and all for different reasons. The first one has been a long time waiting. Queens of the Stone Age last released new material in 2007, a year before my chart, but now they're finally back and in fine form. They're straight in at #8 with "My God Is The Sun". I've never charted Unknown Mortal Orchestra because I haven't ever really gotten into them. This track really stood out to me though, so "So Good At Being In Trouble" is in at #31. And finally, Austra have had a couple of songs I have liked, but never gotten into in time. So they make up for this with a debut at #40 with "Home".

Clair de lune (feat Christine Hoberg) {8 Weeks @ #1}
Wow, Retrograde, go, go, go! I think I've come to the decision that I prefer Closure, but it's only slightly, and the chance of a 6+ week run on top for Blakey is enticing too so all up I'm probably still hoping he'll be #1 tomorrow night actually. But either would be pleasant. I'll just hope they can hold off Midnight Juggernauts and the high debuting TRASH!
It's nice to see Haim continuing to creep up; this is the week I've finally mastered remembering even a portion of how it sounds when it's not actually on, so possibly that'll translate to a rise on my chart, but perhaps not. The Phoenix album being released today means I'm most likely going to start enjoying Entertainment more soon too, so I'mm glad that is in the top ten. I like that Mirrors and Lorde were also able to creep up a place each, but poor Bastille falling already! How am I gonna be an optimist about that!?
And then there's the debuts. QOTSA I'll probably like, but naturally it's currently TRASH! It's also probably too high in my future opinion, but I guess you never know. The other thing is like the superhero of the TRASH! world though; I've never heard anything from them, and though I know the name, I really don't know even what to expect when it washes. I've randomly decided it's probably screamo. The final debut was TRASH! until a few moments ago; I had some extra time during half time and decided to de-TRASH! and for some reason started at the bottom which I don't generally do. I liked it okay, but it didn't stand out especially. Still, that's better than it being TRASH!
I lost the race dismally; it's more than halfway through the third quarter now. This is unlikely to become a thing.
Hmm I really need to get onto Retrograde. So awesome to see Mirrors in the top 20 though. Sad to see Pompeii on the way down already? I hope that can rebound, but rebounds are almost non-existent on your chart Yay Delphic might make 20 weeks, i hope Lanterns does and go Flight Facilities for 30, have you ever had song reach 30 weeks for you? Probably someone like Boy & Bear I can't remember or can be bothered looking up My apologies but I'm pretty sure the smileys will make this post more difficult to read
Yay Blakey. Solid top four really, Juggy would be pick for #1 though. Or were we calling them Juggers? Or Juggo? Hope to see QOTSA push up higher, that's a really great debut. Also, Evil Friends not high enough! Shame to lose Effin and Drank, and ouch MBV Somehow a lot of the rises this week are not my personal favourites, of which I of course have many
Apologies for lateness here (+ missing last week). I'm sure you'll understand.
4 years ago, Karnivool held the top spot for 5 straight weeks with "Set Fire To The Hive". In this process, they held Metric at #2 for 3 of those weeks. Despite this blockade, Metric did manage #1 and stayed there for a full 4 weeks. I mention this because the first half of that has played out again now; after 5 weeks at #1, "Retrograde" surrenders to "Closure". This is the 85th #1 on my chart and makes the impressive feat of Owl Eyes scoring a 5th #1, which no other artist has done before, and she did it in under 2 years!
Otherwise, the rest of the top 4 stays put this week. Queens of the Stone Age continue from their impressive debut to move up to #5, and Phoenix are right behind them at #6. The biggest move of the week goes to Asta, who continues her stride with "I Need Answers", up 11 places to #9. After 18 weeks in the top 10, "Wasted Days" sees its first week out of the top 10.
NEW ENTRIES
Everyone else indulges in old debuts, so why can't I? Not that I haven't already with Cloud Nothings & Father John Misty, but more people are probably familiar with these songs so it's more obvious. In any case, the first debut comes from Zedd with his nearly year old track "Spectrum". I hate that no one forced me to listen to this last year and thus I only discovered how good it is a couple months ago. Anyhow, it's in at #19, and I've finally charted a Z artist The next one I almost did chart last year, it just didn't make the grade for me. I've kept exposed to it and decided that I may as well chart it, so Imagine Dragons are in at #29 with "Radioactive". To balance out the oldness, this last debut isn't even out yet to my knowledge. City and Colour scores a 2nd chart entry with "Thirst" at #37.

Good to see JT inching closer to the top ten. Good to see Lorde and Olly rising, as well as Bastille holding firm and a good debut for Imagine Dragons.
Nice enough to see Owl Eyes take the top spot, it's quite a good song and I probably prefer it to Retrograde, but both are very good. QOTSA is rising fast but I'm yet to hear it, but go Phoenix, that's growing on me now. And wow at how fast Asta is rising!
Good to see Rudimental, Justin Timberlake and Lorde all rising still, but I would like Mirrors to gain faster. It doesn't look like it has the steam to make the top ten at this point. Still, it's having more luck than Pompeii which needs a rebound!
Non-TRASH! among the debuts!!! Wow, who'd have thunk it! But seriously, it seems to happen much more rarely these days, I'm happy to see that it's a really cool choice too and I hope it can at least make the top ten. And drag It's Time into your chart too. I've been seeing that Zedd song around for ages but I'm pretty sure I never checked it out so I'm classing it as TRASH! And I definitely haven't heard the City & Colour song, but I hope to like it when I do.
I was racing my cooking dinner this week and again lost dismally, but I was always fighting a losing battle.
Yay for City and Colour. I've heard it a couple of times and it's pretty good. Not sure about the other debuts though.
In any case, Owlies made it, surprising it took so long but yeah there's another reason why you shouldn't chart album tracks - surely if you did that her perfect record would not remain intact? I would love Juggers to get there, or QOTSA of course. Wow at Asta's jump, I've only heard like ten seconds of it so I should probably get to that Most importantly of all, great to see P.TM make the top 20! Yay for Lorde too.
The song's still awesome, the album's still awesome, she's still awesome, I see no reason why "Closure" can't still be #1, and there it is for a 2nd week. "Retrograde" & "Ballad Of The War Machine" hold their positions too. There's some movement a little lower though, as Queens of the Stone Age & Phoenix both inch up another spot, and Asta continues her quick ascent, now #6 from #9. After a big debut last week, Zedd makes a charge with "Spectrum" up 8 places to #11, the biggest move of the week. Lorde also jumps into the top 15 with "Royals".
NEW ENTRIES
It was only a month and a half ago I had my first top 10 debut of the year, and now I'm up to 3. The latest one comes from James Blake and is my standout favourite from his album (barring "Retrograde" of course), and it's "Life Round Here" in at #9. This is his 2nd chart entry Did you know Daft Punk are back?!!! They're awesomely smashing the charts with "Get Lucky" and are ready to try to do the same here with it in at #25. It's the first time I've charted them, though Pharrell had a hand in producing a #1 last year in "Sweet Life". OK so I started charting a song by Dune via Spender late last year and last month I thought it was funny that I then ended up charting a Dune song at the same time. Both of those songs are still in my chart but are now joined by a new entry by, you guessed it, Spender! "Bed and Chair" is in at #33.

I think I've kind of changed my mind again and prefer Retrograde to Closure, but I clearly can't decide. They're both quite good. In any case Blakey had a good run and I'm not especially expecting Oldie to fall away in the next couple of weeks.
Nice to see Phoenix continuing to creep up, though it doesn't look like they'll have trhe momentum to get there. Only Asta is looking like she might, though perhaps there'll be a surprise #1, or that high debut will make it. Or Closure will just run on for a while yet. Good jumps also for Lorde and Imagine Dragons and good to see Pompeii not fall, though I'd still like it to rebound.
Another big debut, you're crazay! That one is semi-TRASH! and I presume to like it since the Blakey album has been good for me, but that title means nothing to me at all. I'm still yet to hear the Daft Punk song, but I'll have to very soon and from the previews it sounds decent. And the other thing is obvious TRASH! and it's pretty gross that you'd let such smelly TRASH! infect your chart. Then again, it's gross that I have TRASH! from three charts to catch up on now, my goal is to clean up after you completely by the end of the day.
Shame to see JT, Olly, Birds of Tokyo and Macklemore down, but it's not all bad news. Solid debut for Daft Punk as well as rises for Lorde and Imagine Dragons.
Terrific top five I must say but Juggers really should get there. The Spender debut sounds good and of course Dafty is great. I'll get around to James Blake I guess, but one of his is enough for my chart now I think. Come on Porty, you can do better than that
Of course "Closure" is #1 for a 3rd week. Can anything stop it at this point? Perhaps not, but then there's a lot creeping on up so perhaps so. At the top of this list is Midnight Juggernauts, who move up to #2, pushing James Blake to #3. They're going for their 2nd #1. Queens of the Stone age hold steady at #4 and Asta hits the top 5 with "I Need Answers". James Blake's latest entry "Life Round Here" is up a couple places to #7, and Zedd jumps into the top 10 at #8 with "Spectrum".
There's more waiting in the wings for top 10 too. Lorde continues to rise for a 6th week in a row with "Royals" up to #11 now. Daft Punk have the biggest rise of the week with "Get Lucky" moving up 13 places to #12, and then Rudimental continue their rocky climb with "Waiting All Night" up to #13. "Mirrors" also returns to its peak and "Bed & Chair" makes a 9 place jump to #24.
NEW ENTRIES
Hard to believe it's been about 3 years since their last album came out. Nonetheless, MGMT are back in action and "Alien Days" becomes their 9th song to chart. It's in at #21. The National is another band whose last album came out in 2010, and they've had decent success from that on my chart too. "Demons" enters at #31 and is their 3rd chart entry. AlunaGeorge have been abuzz lately, and while I couldn't quite get into "Your Drums, Your Love" or "White Noise" enough to chart them, I've been quite enjoying "Attracting Flies" lately, so it's in at #37. Also Austra sneak back in.

Clair de lune (feat Christine Hoberg) {8 Weeks @ #1}
And great to see "Closure" still #1, "Spectrum" entering top 10, "Get Lucky" climbing massively, and "Royals", "Waiting All Night", "Mirrors" and "Radioactive" climbing too.
Nice to see the Owl staying on top; perhaps she does so well on your chart because you always post it late at night and she just has much better vision that everyone else in the chart at night, so it's easier for her to make her way up? In any case I hope she's able to hold off Midnight Juggernauts.
Spectrum was good when I listened to it and I'm glad to see it move into the top ten. Also nice to see Lorde and Daft Punk jump close, hopefully they can both get in there soon. Good jumps also for Rudimental, Justin Timberlake and Spender.
MGMT with the highest debut; nice! I'm sad to say it, but it's a TRASH! song even if they're not a TRASH! band. I was intending to make the effort to listen to it soon anyway, but this is going to be a convenient way for me to remember. Not that they will ever top Time To Pretend for me. I'm very pleased to see Demons debut, it's really grown on me in leaps and bounds from that first listen, but again, not that they'll be able to top High Violet with this upcoming album. And the third debut is TRASH! in every way and has a silly title; flies are annoying and I have no desire to learn how to attract them, wtf!? Random re-entry, yay!
Great to see Closure, Ballad Of The War Machine (I don't like the video tbh ), Retrograde, My God Is The Sun, Entertainment, Spectrum (so 2012 ), Falling, Summer Forgive Me, Royals (please reach the Top 10...), Get Lucky (same), Waiting All Night (same), Wasted Days, Mirrors, Alien Days, Pompeii, Mind Mischief, Radioactive, Clair de lune (wow, already half a year?!), Giant Tortosie, Insane (it might be m next charting Flume track), Army Of Two, Inhaler, Attracting Files, So Good At Being In Trouble and Lanterns. Sad to see Can't Hold Us leave.
Cool entry for MGMT, not sold on The National's newie though. Anyway, come on Juggers! We haven't shared a #1 in a while. Meanwhile cool to see P.TM up but Asta in the top 5? She has better naww Dune via Spender gone
For some reason, "Closure" isn't #1 this week. From what I've heard, the recently released film adaptation of "The Great Gatsby" doesn't give nearly enough attention to everyone's favourite character, Owl-Eyes. Or perhaps it's because I wanted a different song there. Hmm. It wasn't "Ballad of the War Machine" though, that's down to #2. "I Need Answers" keeps showing promise but is only #4 this week. "Retrograde" keeps slipping, now at #5. James Blake can have solace though, as "Life Round Here" is right behind it at #6. Zedd also moves up a spot to #7, and Daft Punk jump into the top 10 at #9, so they're not #1 either.
A strong top 10 this week means that Lorde is once again stuck at #11. Portugal. The Man climb into the top 15 with "Evil Friends", and MGMT are off to a good start with "Alien Days" now in the top 20. AlunaGeorge get the biggest rise of the week with "Attracting Flies" up 13 places to #24.
NEW ENTRIES
Now here's something I haven't done in three years, a #1 debut! The only other proper #1 debuts I've had are "Uprising" by Muse and "Flash Delirium" by MGMT. Subverting those cases, this new #1 wasn't just freshly released, and has been doing the rounds since last year. In fact, I've known about it for a lot of that time too. I kept hearing it and it kept growing on me, but the week I decided I might finally chart it, I charted a newer song by the artist instead. Now that that song has mostly done its thing, I thought it was about time to debut that other song I've been sitting on for months. And so the 86th #1 hit on my chart is "The Mother We Share" by Chvrches! (The fact that it is Mother's Day on the date of this chart is a mere ko-in-sa-dins). Oh and there's other stuff in the lower part of the chart. The next highest being from Mr. Little Jeans who first enthralled me with a cover in 2011, then a neat track the year after, and now this, "Oh Sailor" which enters at #27. Not much else to say about them at this point, Birds of Tokyo have racked up an extensive catalogue of hits on this chart since 2008. "When The Night Falls Quiet" is the latest, though it doesn't make an explosive splash just yet, it's at #36 and is their 14th chart entry to date. Flight Facilities have racked up a lot less hits, but that's not to say they didn't come with notoriety, and indeed "Clair de lune" still sits on my chart half a year after debuting. They keep the songs rolling this week with "I Didn't Believe" coming in at #39 as their 3rd entry.

I am yet to hear the new BoT track, but I have seen it debuting on a few charts, so hopefully I'll hear it soon. Good to see Daft Punk hit the top ten, as well as small rises for JT and Imagine Dragons. I hope Lorde and Rudimental haven't stalled.
Wow, a #1 debut! First time there's been one of those since I've been a regular reader of your chart I think; can't remember whether that or Flash Delirium came first. In any case it's very rare to see. I hope it's a cool song, but atm it's of course TRASH!
Poor Old Man. I hope she can get back to the top; perhaps if you go and see the movie you'll appreciate her acting skillz more and that'll translate to a return to the top? Nice to see Asta, James Blake and Daft Punk all rising within the top ten. I also approve of the jumps for Spender, Imagine Dragons and The National.
Aside from the aforementioned #1 debut, three more. The most exciting moment from these is that one of them is not TRASH! and indeed is something I'm charting too! Clearly we riot as one. I hope the Mr. Little Jeans song is nice, surely it can't be worse than that featuring credit must be to write or type out, ewwww! I also have high hopes for the new Loony, but I'm hoping I take to it quicker than I did with the original Loony; then again, perhaps I won't take to it at all. Still, all three of the TRASH! debuts feel like they have some potential for me to like them, hopefully it goes well when I get to them.
I was racing my doctor on Monday while in the waiting room and I lost the race, but I finally got to you more than 72 hours later, huzzah!
Don't know your #1 but I will check it out cause I enjoyed Recover , Nice to see JT, Imagine Dragons moving up, BOT debut is awesome, Poor Lorde though.
Come on Spectrum! Ouch for Pompeii but fantastic to see Radioactive and Mirrors on the way up. Hopefully Lorde can get top 10 too. Not sure if i should check out new FliFac
Wouldn't it be silly if I had a #1 debut and then proceeded to bump it off the following week? Maybe one day but not this time, so Chvrches stay on top for a 2nd week. "Closure" holds at #2 but the rest of the top 5 sees some action. Asta inches up one more place to #3 with "I Need Answers", Daft Punk leap up 5 places to #4 with "Get Lucky", and Zedd cracks the top 5 with "Spectrum". All these jumps are unhelpful to the rest of the top 10, but on the other hand, Lorde is finally able to make the ascent to #10 with "Royals". Songs to note for the rest of the chart are "Oh Sailor" which has the biggest rise of the week, up 8 places to #19, and "Thirst" which rebounds 7 places to a new peak of #33 because it finally made it to iTunes
NEW ENTRIES
Though technically a new name to my chart, Way of the Eagle has had quite a presence on my chart over the years, as the person behind the project whose name I can neither spell or pronounce has possibly produced more #1s on my chart than anyone else. But now on his own (with help from Dan Sultan), he impacts my chart at #24 with "Rattlesnake". The Chemist have technically been one hit wonders on my chart with their only impact being a very minor hit in 2010. This is unfair to them as I like several of their songs, and even that minor hit probably should've faired better. Nonetheless, they've already hit a new high on my chart with their latest debut. "Silver & Gold" is in at #31.

Great to see Daft Punk bullet into the top five. I don't know why, but I don't think they'll be strong enough to make it to the top. I'm happy to be proved wrong! Good to see Lorde and Imagine Dragons still rising, as well as Bastille still hanging around.
As for last week's big debut, whoa! I'm liking both Chvrches songs but not as much as I'd like to.
Meh that Zedd rises again, at least Dafty leap ahead there. Great to see Spender rise, really enjoying that one now! I think I've heard The Chemist's newie but maybe I'll need to finally hear a Chemist song that you've heard Way of the Eagle doesn't excite me much sadly, but Dan Sultan does alright. Cool to see MGMT, City and Colour and Lorde rise too.
Very pleased to see The Mother We Share hold the top spot, I'm hoping it's set for a long run there; no contest between it and any coming challenger; it's easily my favourite thing in the top sixteen. That said nice jump for Daft Punk, I wouldn't mind if they made it all the way to #2.
Glad to see Lorde finally sneak into the top ten, I was wondering if she'd ever be able to get there. Nice jumps also for Spender, The National and Birds Of Tokyo.
Two debuts, which were TRASH! but now are technically not, even though it's been long enough that they may as well be again. Although I remember thinking Rattlesnake was pretty good and that The Chemist was okay but I wouldn't buy it for $1.19.
I kind of had a race going and I either won or lost depending on your viewpoint. I was racing my Now playlist and I'd have lost except that I added some new potentials to it so I technically won. On an unrelated note, I debut two things from your chart this week that I'd never have otherwise heard, so thanks.
3 weeks of Chvrches at #1! Daft Punk are right behind them with "Get Lucky" now. This pushes "Closure" down to #3, and "I Need Answers" down to #5. The last spot in the top 5 goes to "Spectrum" which moves up to #4. James Blake's "Life Round Here" returns to its #6 peak, and Queens of the Stone Age climb back up two places to #7.
NEW ENTRIES
Highest new entry comes from a chart regular of the past year. MS MR score their 4th chart entry with "Head Is Not My Home" at #25. Not quite chart regulars, but Phoenix keep their strength with their chart return, getting their 3rd entry at #35 in "Trying To Be Cool". The Kelis songs that I end up liking are strange to me because they seem as though I should hate them. This is an exception because it doesn't give me that feeling, except for all the songs preceding it. "Jerk Ribs" is in at #39.

Straight 10s for Lorde!! Wow! And Spectrum top 4, woohoo!! Looks like Pompeii and Mirrors are finally on the way down, now it's a case of how many weeks they can rack up. Come on Radioactive, top 20!
Ooh at CdL's most likely 30 weeks run, is that a record?
Quite interested in how When The Night Falls Quiet will fare because it is a serious flop for me and I just can't get into it.
Ooh, Daft Punk are getting closer. I'm not sure if they'll be strong enough, but I hope they can do it. Bummer to see JT down, but Lorde and Imagine Dragons holding steady is good.
Awesome to see The Mother We Share stay on top; what an awesome song! I hope they keep going as I have presumed they are a band! Get Lucky continues to grow on me more however it's not in the same league so I hope it doesn't take over, possibly because Pharrell is not a band. In any case this week The Mother We Share is my favourite song in the top nineteen; if only Mirrors had fallen a further place it could have had the top twenty; excepting of course the fact that the next three songs below it also all hit the top ten for me and so I'd need none of them to be the replacement for Mirrors.
Nice to see Spender, Way Of The Eagle, The National and Birds Of Tokyo all moving up too. Pleased to see Lorde hold in the top ten, I was thinking it may have just been a scrape in and she'd drop straight back out, at least the second week makes it look a little better if ten is the peak.
And then the debuts. I'll start with Phoenix because I've heard that album so that song has the best TRASH! rating but it most definitely qualifies as semi-TRASH! While I find the album fine, nothing has really become a standout to me yet and I don't love anything much about it. Even Entertainment as the one I went in knowing hasn't continued to grow on me the way things usually do and the way I expected. MS MR is TRASH! but probably nice TRASH! And when we were discussing your potential debuts last week I was hoping I'd approve of the more mainstream or however it was put one but I had a feeling when you said it was TRASH! that it'd be more likely to be something I'd dislike and when Kelis came up in chat I had a feeling it'd be that. In any case it is TRASH! and I'll of course go in with an open mind but my expectation is that I won't like it even if I don't loathe it.
I had no race this week unless you count me racing my hunger in which case I lost several comments ago. I'm having a sandwich now.
Eurgh I don't know this Chvrches track but I hope it can hold on! Nice to see Spectrum moving up and Lorde holding in the top ten. Also cool to see a new Kelis track, I haven't heard it yet but I've loved everything I heard from her last album so this looks promising.
Kelis? Doesn't sound that great to me. Nevertheless, I think I know your #1 but if I do it doesn't stand out for me. Daft Punk would be a safe #1 for me because I know I like it Love the straight 10s for Lorde, and that BOT one is a grower.
"Flash Delirium" was the last #1 debut and that lasted 3 weeks on top. Chvrches go one better and make it 4 this week. This keeps Daft Punk at bay at #2 again. Zedd pushes Owl Eyes down to #4 and picks up a new peak of #3 with "Spectrum", and James Blake scores a 2nd top 5 hit with "Life Round Here" at #5. Lower in the top 10, Queens of the Stone Age & Midnight Juggernauts have minor rebounds, but also Mr. Little Jeans rises to #10 to score her first top 10 hit with "Oh Sailor". Lower in the chart, MS MR have the biggest rise with "Head Is Not My Home" up 7 places to #18.
NEW ENTRIES I kind of find it strange in differing ways that I'm debuting all of these artists this week, but nonetheless: I have a weird obsession with making sure I've heard all the new #1 albums in Australia, and interestingly Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds scored their first one earlier this year. I finally got to hearing it and "Jubilee Street" was an easy stand out, and was even a single to boot! It debuts at #19 and is their first ever chart entry. Up next, an artist I debuted not very long ago obviously with an older song of theirs, but now they've had the audacity to release something new and even more agonisingly, it's really good. Of course it's Chvrches who pick up a 3rd entry at #23 with "Gun". Their other two entries top and tail the chart this week. I've never been a huge fan of Vampire Weekend so it was hard to go into their latest album with much optimism. Fortunately though, they pulled out a winner in "Unbelievers", which now becomes their 3rd chart entry at #27. I was genuinely excited about Fall Out Boy's comeback, then I heard the lead single and was a bit disappointed. But then I heard this and was excited again! After some prodding, "The Phoenix" finds its way in at #30. It's just a song title, I don't care at all But it's a song title for a song that I've surprised myself in finding quite good! Mariah Carey and Miguel both debut to the chart at #37 with "#Beautiful".

Well, I must say that Mariah debuting does look weird in your chart, but I am pleased to see her there. Good to see Daft Punk still challenging for the top, as well as JT, Bastille and Imagine Dragons still hanging around.
MARIAH!!!!!!!!! LOOOOOOOVE IT!!! Hope she can have a decent run but good to see her on here at all Cool to see The Phoenix debut, and I swear most of the songs I like peak at #21 on your chart, case in point, Radioactive. Cool to see Attracting Flies up too.
Awesome to see The Mother We Share staying on top, I certainly hope the run keeps going, four weeks is not enough for how excellent the song is. This week it's my favourite in the whole top 21, so that number keeps getting larger each week which is cool. Daftie are a nice runner up though.
Great jumps for Spender, Way Of The Eagle, The National, MS MR and City And Colour. I'm hoping Demons is going to be able to crack the top twenty but it may not have enough steam.
Okay, five debuts this week. One TRASH!, two semi-TRASH! and two non-TRASH! which I already informed you about. Starting from the highest, Nick Cave was semi-TRASH! of the barely remembered variety because his time of me hearing the album has pretty much passed. However I yesterday caught up on all the old TRASH! and took the opportunity to clear up this lot also, so I know the song again now. It's not one I particularly liked or hated, but then I really felt that way about every song on the album anyway. It wasn't the one with the more colourful lyrics which was really the only one I remembered.
The Chvrches song was TRASH! but I had a listen and as expected I liked it. It's not as good as The Mother We Share, and probably not Recover either, but I liked it. Unbelievers is cool, but hasn't especially stood out to me from the album at this stage. So then we move to The Phoenix which I am pretty sure you know my thoughts on since it's rather high on my chart and I consistently harangued you to chart it once you expressed a passing possibility in considering doing so. Very pleased to see it come in. As for Mariah, it's incredibly strange to see her in your chart though the strangeness is fading a little lately, and also, from comments elsewhere on the site it was starting to look likely that you'd chart it so I'm not surprised by it. I had to give it another listen too, but I still can't get into it.
I had a race but I'm pretty sure I lost. I was doing my chart comments in the ads of House Rules, however that finished mid this comment and I also kept typing on and off during the show itself, so not only did I somewhat cheat and still lose, but I also missed some of the show which wasn't good.
C'mon Daft Punk, get lucky and reach #1 I really do hope Get Lucky can reach #1 so we can share the same #1's Great also to see Spectrum, Closure (great longevity so far), My God Is The Sun, Ballad Of The War Machine, Oh Sailor, Royals (so happy it managed to reached the Top 10), (I hope Evil Friends is #11 next week, so it's 11 11 11 11 ), Alien Days, Attracting Flies, Jubilee Street (quite a dramatic song actually; the video is more dramatic though), Waiting All Night, Radioactive (hurry up and reach the Top 20 already! ), Gun, Mirrors, Falling, Thirst, The Phoenix, Summer Forgive Me, Pompeii, I Didn't Believe, Clair de lune (awesome longevity, though I fear this might be its last week), #Beautiful (Lord Jibijabijam The Sad Man Dam charting a track with a '#'?!?! ), and When The Night Falls Quiet (flop! )
Still haven't heard that #1 maybe you should just link it to me in chat to force me too [/lazy] , Good to see Way Of The Eagle still rising, yay for the FOB debut.
Mariah debut is amazing! Also yay for "Spectrum" climbing even higher, and also "Attracting Flies" climbing too. I'm glad "Royals" made the top 10 but I wish it had gone higher.
At least Juggers are back up a little bit. Cool to see VW enter and nice to see Spender move up. A lot of the rises I approve of are too low Ouch Mind Mischief
They've finally done it! Daft Punk have ascended to the top spot after two weeks at #2 with "Get Lucky". This is the 87th #1 on the chart and the first one by a French artist. It's also the first time in nearly two years that an ARIA #1 has hit the top spot, following "Somebody That I Used To Know" of course. Nonetheless, after 4 weeks at the top, Chvrches are down to #2. Zedd holds at #3, and James Blake swaps with Owl Eyes to move up a spot to #4 with "Life Round Here". It's not all bad news for Chvrches though, they have the biggest move of the week with "Gun" up 12 places to #11.
NEW ENTRIES
It's an all Australian affair for debuts this week. The first of which comes from Boy & Bear. They had 5 charting hits from 2010-2011 including two #1s, but have been missing from the chart for a year and a half. Now they're back in the chart with "Southern Sun" at #26. A band I don't know a lot about, but I quite like this song. Glass Towers are in at #29 with "Halcyon". Midnight Juggernauts finally released "Ballad Of The War Machine" on iTunes and there was much rejoicing. They have more good news too, as "Memorium" becomes their 6th charting hit, at #36.

Yess, such an awesome #1! And a nice climb for Mariah too, though I was hoping for a bit better. Disappointed however to see all of my other favourites (apart from Zedd) fall
Hmm, I approve It doesn't help that Juggers have probably missed their chance, but at least they moved up. Great to see them also enter with Memorium, I really enjoy both their new sogns atm. Also satisfying to see the relatively decent Vampire Weekend move up .
Oh, what a shame to see Chvrches knocked off the top, still a wonderful song and now my favourite in your top 22. Get Lucky is quite good and continues to grow on me but I don't find it #1 kind of special. Perhaps The Mother can get back but I'm not thinking it likely.
It's nice to see James Blake continue to creep up but I don't think he has the momentum to get a second chart-topper here. I'm also pleased about the strong gains for Vampire Weekend, Fall Out Boy and lol Mariah Carey.
Great to see Boy & Bear debut; non-TRASH! at all times and it's the higest of them! A good chance of debuting for me tomorrow as well which is always cool. As for the other two entries, they were TRASH! until a few minutes ago when I gave them a bath. I quite liked Halcyon and could see myself charting it if I hear it enough to like it properly. Memorium was okay but not especially my kind of thing.
Totes tried racing half-time again and totes failed again. The third quarter is more than halfway over.
Yep, "Get Lucky" is still #1, and the top 4 stays still too. Chvrches have another big rise though, with "Gun" right into the top 5 from #11. MS MR and Boy & Bear also have strong gains.

It's not going to #1. Let's get that out of the way. But really, I think I needed to chart another one by now, and although the speculation has been there for months, I think it's definitely certain that "Nightswim" is a single now. So Owl Eyes has a 6th entry at #25. I quite liked "Two Fingers" but never got to charting it. At the last minute I deemed "Seen It All" worthy of making the chart, so Jake Bugg debuts at #36. Fire! Santa Rosa, Fire! also re-enter due to their clever strategy of not releasing the song for half a month and making me realise that I quite liked it and never gave it a proper chance because of not being able to buy it. "Codebreaker" is back at #31.

Yay for Daft Punk! I hope Zedd can somehow grab a higher peak though, even though it's already higher than the one I gave it. Great to see Southern Sun doing big things for you and go Radioactive!
Sad to see Pompeii and Clair de Lune gone! Glad to see it make 30+ weeks! (I originally read it as 39 weeks and was going to post disappointment at how it didn't make 40).
50 latest reviews
I am worried though, I hope CDL gets the record outright just so it can outlast Cloud Nothings. Either that or the ultimately superior Black Sand does it! 
although it looks like the same can't be said for you haha
I do prefer Loony and hope that it gets back there for the record next week, but I'm not expecting it to, also I'd probably prefer Baiya hit #1 anyway. 
Hoping to see British India top ten next week; but realistically if I don't get around to relistening to Winter People and/or I didn't like it as much as I thought I would second time round, I'm hoping for Misty even though I would consider that one nowhere near as amazzing as HFCS 
I find it odd that Tamey have made top 10, it just doesn't resonate with me as well as Elephant, Apoco and Backwards. But hey, I charted it
