The Suitable For Frequent Use All Time Favourite Bands Chart

In the change column artists who have gone up or are new to the chart are noted. Interesting movers this month include JJ72, Supergrass, Weezer, all of which have released new albums recently, and all of which are fantastic. Ash jump into the top 10 after the release of intergaltic sonic 7's. The biggest mover on the chart continues my fasination with the C86 genre, The Bodines rise 188 places on the back of me acquiring their album 'played'. The total number of new entry's is 26, and Laura Cantrell has the highest at 51 (a voice to die for). Next month's chart can expect big moves by Siouxsie & The Banshees, Blondie, and hopefully The Shop Assistants.
