Notes from the Overground: UK top 75 Analysed

Hello Oasis in at no.1 for the seventh time with 'Lyla'. Bonjour! to Black Eyed Peas, entering at no.3 with the interestingly titled 'Don't Phunk With My Heart'. Gorillaz refuse to say ta-ta, staying at no.4 with 'Feel Good Inc', whilst Top Ten Band Kaiser Chiefs strut in at, erm, no.10.

Mylo steams in at no.13 with the lovely 'In My Armsi, the big soft get, and hello! to the old skool with Stevie Wonder in at no.19 and New Order plodding in one below with Jet Stream.

Lower down and the laughable Turin Brakes splash down at no.32 as they go Fishing For A Dream. Or maybe a record deal soon? Hot Hot Heat will hope that it's not 'Goodnight Goodnight' at no.36...

Outside the forty, it's oi! to The Eels at no.44 with 'Hey Man (Now You're Really Living)' and one above is the quite great Anthony and the Johnsons making their chart debut with 'Hope There's Someone'. Such a special time... Not much else in the '75 aside from Modey Lemon at no.71 with 'Sleepwalkers'. Hmmm.

Faithless, System Of A Down and Van Morrison enter the top three in the album charts in that order, while further down the lovely Maximo Park say 'word' to the world with their debut 'A Certain Trigger' at no.15. Duke Spirit fails to 'Cuts Across The Land' by sneaking in at no.40, and that's really it...
