Manics Top 50s - 31st August 2013 part 2

Four more charts here on this busy deadline day!!!  The first comes from the official town crier of the Manics Top 50s, JamGaw, who has done his bit promoting the charts and pulling in one of our special guest contributors.  He will also be compiling one of the sub-charts that come out when all of the votes are in.  Another new number one in our charts today, at a glance I think it might be the only one from 'Postcards...' so far, and one of our relatively even charts across the albums.

As with a few others today, our second chart has a lot of 'Generation Terrorists' in it, but then there are more songs to choose from!  A few more of the lesser loved songs getting their day in the top 10 too, which is always nice!  Our third chart has a new number one too, and a 'Lifeblood' one at that!!! Andy has included a fair few B-sides in his selection, which may be a product of his blog going through every Manics song in turn, which you can find here http://manicsongs.wordpress.com/ .  As we all know, us Manics fans can't get enough of reading stuff about them, so wander over and have a look!!!

Our final chart in part 2 of this blog comes all the way from Finland, I really like the fact that we're getting plenty of variety in the location of our contributors.  A returning number one, which I hope finds its place in the final top 50 (it was my number 2), with 'GT' and 'Holy Bible' tying in the mini-chart this time.  There WILL be a part 3...there are so many charts today, so keep your eyes peeled (apples)!!!!
