Manics Top 50s - 15th August 2013

It's the first multi-chart day in a while!!  First up we have another chart headed by 'Yes', a popular number one over the last week or so, with a good even spread across the albums and a few little surprises along the way.  Secondly a first number one spot for '1985', at the top of another chart relatively equally split across the Manics' career and a good showing for 'Know Your Enemy' and 'Lifeblood'.

Lastly we have a special guest, and probably our oldest contributor.....my own mother!  She has been a fan for almost as long as I have, although as you can see from the chart the slightly more abrasive likes of 'The Holy Bible' and 'Know Your Enemy' weren't a hit....and she's never even heard 'Journal for Plague Lovers' (she wouldn't like it, I just know).

And again, for you no-vote-album-track watchers, not only has 'Emily' now appeared in four consecutive charts after no votes up until yesterday, now 'Always/Never' has picked up its first vote too!!!  Only one left now....and I'm not confident for the poor thing......
