Two charts today and first up a number 1 that takes 50 points despite only having had three previous picks so far, Tennessee. RP McMurphy also achieves its highest placing to date at number 5 and So Dead continues its recent run of success since having no votes, being in 5 of the last 9 charts!
Unsurprisingly given the songs I've mentioned so far, Generation Terrorists (and the songs that came before) feature prominently with 15 places. We also have another of our no-vote album tracks selected in the shape of The Future Has Been Here 4 Ever, bringing the total down to three! And I've already been told by someone that one of the remaining three will be in their upcoming chart, so potentially only two up for grabs!

The second chart has Tolerate in top spot, closely followed by fellow big guns A Design For Life, Motorcycle Emptiness and Faster. The Holy Bible and This Is My Truth edge ahead in terms of the number of overall picks, David explains his truth below:
This was really hard to cut down, and just reminds me why the Manics remain my favourite band. It’s perhaps a cliche in terms of the top 2-3, but Design for Life introduced me to the band at 12 and became my gateway to intelligent, anthemic rock music. ‘Tolerate’ has just continued to resonate more over the past two decades; I cannot fathom how this was nearly relegated to a B-side (the horror…). It’s been refreshing to hear TUVL and have songs that my boys really enjoy like Orwellian which I’ll now treasure (proud parent moment when my youngest started singing along) but also to have a song like Diapause which makes my Top 10 at present and I’m willing to bet will still be riding high in 10 years’ time. To paraphrase the band themselves, God Bless the Manics.
