Post-Chart Analysis:

There are 18 holes on a golf course and it’s ironic that keen golfer Lloyd Cole finds himself at number 18 for the third week running. Perhaps he should rename the track “Perfect Skins”. A number of new entries and re-entries at the bottom end of the chart, including an appearance from the single currently atop the Worst Scottish Single Top 10. The casualties from last week’s chart are Travis, the Bay City Rollers, Paolo Nutini, Middle of the Road, Camera Obcura, El Presidente and the Sensational Alex Harvey Band.

There’s a welcome appearance from Love and Money at number 47. Big movers this week are Simple Minds’ anthemic “Waterfront” and “Sparky’s Dream” by Teenage Fanclub (Mrs Cat will be pleased). Also a good week if your song has the word “miles” in brackets after the main title!

Still no sign of The Pastels, Superstar, Supernaturals or The Soup Dragons. The Belle and Sebastian fans, who mobilized so successfully to help the band win a Brit a few years ago, are also nowhere to be seen. If anyone knows a B&S forum where you don’t have to make 67 posts before you can start a thread, let me know. (The Cat, 14 October 2006)

I lied, the new Featured Voter, Tom McPhillips, is already up.

The new chart will make an appearance on Monday after Dave gets over his jet lag/train lag! Shocked
