Manics Top 50s - 31st August 2013 part 1

Deadline day is proving to be as busy as expected with four charts waiting for me when I checked my phone at 7.30 this morning!!!  So as I take on the role of Harry Redknapp with frantic wheeling and dealing, I've decided to split today's blog up a bit, with the early birds taking the first four places.

First up is another special guest chart from Dominik Diamond, best known to people of my age as the presenter of Gamesmaster alongside none other than Sir Patrick Moore, but alongside his varied TV roles and work as a columnist he also has a successful radio career, now being based in Canada. Work on his top 50 had to fit around the start of his new radio show, so extra big thanks for finding the time to contribute!!!  And also thanks to oldnoshie for originally approaching Dominik to take part!!  It's another selection heavily weighted towards 'Generation Terrorists', but with a few cameo appearances from some of the later albums, however no surprises at number one with one of our chart mainstays winning out.

Our second chart is from Chris, who runs the Facebook page Manic Street Preachers Lyrics, so if you're a Facebook user stop by and give his page a 'like'!  Again, 'GT' wins out in number of selections, but it's a 'Holy Bible' favourite that tops the chart.  Our third chart is from another South Korean participant and sees 'Ready for Drowning' take its first number one placing.  '...Richard Nixon' also takes its highest placing so far at number 2.

Our fourth chart here sees another new number one in 'PCP', although another clean sweep for 'GT' in the mini-charts.  After the overall chart is announced I am going to add a new view under each person's entry on the blog to show their 'By Era' chart by scores as well as number of entries.  This may show a different picture as 10 choices from 'GT' may in fact be numbers 41-50 and one choice from 'Lifeblood' may be number 1 for example!!!  Stay tuned tonight for more charts to come on this busy deadline day!!!
