Manics Top 50s - 31st May 2015 part 2

And so to the last batch of charts and the first participant here is my Manics blog buddy and mastermind behind the B-Side Battle and the Ultimate Manics album, JamGaw (@starsfrighten).  Like myself, he took on the mammoth task of ordering the whole back catalogue (although he left out the covers, pffft) and after a long countdown ended it all with a top 10 face-off between his choices and mine.  It was a fun end to the whole top 50 voting process (who will ever forget #TooLowJimBob?) and thanks to the voting public my top 10 emerged victorious.....but it was close!  So thanks again and I'm sure his wife, the fellow chart-er Sarah E (@starkitten8), will be hoping he doesn't start up something new when this is finished!! :)

And it's that song again......it takes four of the top slots again here.  But is it enough?  Did it muscle its way into the top spot in a photo finish?  Or is it too little, too late to take the title?  There are some pretty diverse charts in this bunch and the bigger songs didn't all get their own way, so it's anyone's guess as to which way it might be going.  It seems just as exciting to look at the battle to actually make the 50 itself as to the top spot.

I'm just about to go and add a total column to my spreadsheet and click on sort......I'll know for a few days before you do and will be throwing random facts your way via Twitter until next weekend when the big reveal will take place in two parts.  If you're going to the gigs this week (or have already been) have a great time, thanks for your support in the top 50s and I'll see you at the weekend!!!!
