Post-Chart Analysis from Dave in the Stats Bunker:

Right, I don’t want anyone asking. This is as big as it will get so you’ll have to be happy with it as it is (oo-er missus). Good week for bands fronted by women with Altered Images and The Cocteau Twins big winners. Exception to that rule is Horse but I’m sure that will be resolved when we get our registrations verified for her site—hint hint!
On the subject of fan sites a good week for Idlewild—50 with a bullet—but steer clear of the Roddy Woomble site. A few people on the grumpy pills over there giving your favourite website poll a hard time. So don’t talk to them but tell anyone else you know to vote!

I’ll be in the bunker. Come down and join me. We can bring sandwiches.

(Dave, 12 November 2006) NEW CHART: SUNDAY 19 NOV 2006
