Manics Top 50s - 30th Sep 2021 part 1

Yesterday's charts have been split in two so the blog posts don't go on forever, 7 in one day is pretty good at this relatively early stage!

The first chart has a familiar number 1 from the charts so far and features plenty of Holy Bible and Gold Against the Soul. Which is hardly surprising when we learn that the "Roses in the Hospital single was my route in after seeing Manics support Bon Jovi (!) as a naive 13 year old... My second ever gig was Richey’s second to last show at Astoria where they played the whole of Holy Bible. It was scenes.".  That's definitely going to leave some impression on a young mind.

The next chart is from a top 50 veteran, having taken part in both previous editions and all the way from the US no less.  Wade first got into the Manics after reading about their trip to Cuba, subsequently picking up Know Your Enemy from a used CD store at the beach.  It clearly made an impression as it's the era that features the most and oh look, there's that familiar number 1 appearing again....there are also a few Resistance Is Futile songs picking up their first ever chart points.

The third chart comes from Roisin, who has included a Spotify playlist of her chart, the link to which is below.  Motorcycle Emptiness takes the top spot here, with This Is My Truth as the era with the most entries.  The Ultra Vivid Lament manages to have 5 songs too, the most so far.

The final chart of this batch is from Simon, which is a veritable goldmine of deeper cuts alongside the usual contenders, touching on every era and also featuring the first TUVL number 1!  Simon has also managed to give some love to some more of those no vote songs from last time, with TE Lawrence On A Bike and Pedestal grateful for some points on the board.  More of yesterday's charts to come later on today!
