The second batch of charts start as the first batch began, with a Tolerate number 1. Epicentre bags a cool 49 points, although This Is My Truth takes the honours with the most songs featured. Haydon explains more in his own words:
I knew this would be a challenge, but the shifting sands of a still-new album made it even harder to pin down what exactly my thoughts were on any given song's position in the list. Looking back on my previous list, I'm surprised that it's even as similar as it is, sharing slightly more than half the songs (and a fair few which only narrowly missed this time around) - I think of March 2015 as still quite early in my Manics fandom, still just beginning to scratch the surface of their discography, so it's interesting how much has stayed relatively the same. I've wrestled with myself over the number one spot for some time now, both are major favourites of mine and normally with such a close call I'd err on the side of the less universally loved - but whilst Epicentre could well lay claim to being the Manics best song, it can't quite do what Tolerate can, which is push a strong claim for being the best song of all time.

Next is another chart bursting with those lesser-loved songs, with a Lifeblood number 1 and various B-sides and bonus tracks making the top 10. Of the tracks that earned no points at all last time out, Litany, The Long Goodbye, Distractions, Lost Voices, The Passing Show and Midnight Sun all ensured they didn't get a repeat (no pun intended) through this one chart! Again every era is represented, with Lifeblood taking the honours with 8 songs (including B-sides) to match Cardiff Afterlife taking the top spot.

The third chart in this batch sees Resistance Is Futile grab its first ever number 1 in the shape of Distant Colours, with Still Snowing In Sapporo grabbing second place for the new album. And if you know Karen then you'll know why Slash N' Burn features so highly! Horses Under Starlight was another no-voter from last time to pick up points, grabbing 41 from its 10th position.
