Manics Top 50s - 24th August 2013

One week to go before the Manics Top 50s officially close for business!!!  In terms of the overall chart that is, if anyone happens to miss the deadline but still wants to share their chart I will put them up here for everyone to gaze at in wonder.  Which leads me on nicely to today's chart from one of our overseas contributors (or America as it is more commonly known) which contains a very popular number one and an interesting number 7 - one of the songs people tended to suggest to me first if they were previously trying to guess any zero vote songs!!!  It wasn't true even then of course, but a healthy score of 44 points does it no harm at all.  A pretty healthy showing from 'Know Your Enemy' in general too, as well as a decent share from 'Lifeblood'.

Another feature of the final chart that I've come up with is the one person who ends up sharing the most songs in their chart with the final chart.  Now everyone's chart is just as valid as the next person, so I'm not going to make a big deal of this as if that person 'wins' because that's blatantly not true, but I think it will be interesting!!
