Manics Top 50s - 30th Sep 2021 part 2

The second batch from yesterday is made up of three further charts, with more of the big hitters flexing their muscles in the number 1 slots.

First up LynZee has a chart touching on all eras and leaning a little more towards the first five albums, but surprises us with a 5th place finish and 46 points for the lesser-spotted Antarctic.  And who doesn't get a little spring in their step seeing The Ghost Of Christmas getting some love.  Dylan & Caitlin also gets its first ever chart points, leaving only two Resistance Is Futile songs currently pointless even at this early stage.

Next up is Jess, the Bristol Queen of Instagram on a never-ending Quest For Bristolian Colour (I think I'm slipping into JDB intro mode here...).  Faster takes another number 1 right back from its rival Motorcycle Emptiness in the previous chart and Jess puts further pressure on the Manics to play Donkeys on the current tour by including it at number 2.  Everything Must Go takes the honours as the most heavily featured era, while Foggy Eyes receives its first ever pick in these charts at the third time of asking.

The third chart here comes from Pat, who has another chart that is weighted towards the first five albums, but also has a good showing from both Rewind The Film and another five picks from The Ultra Vivid Lament, including the first points for Don't Let The Night Divide Us.  After a few top ten finishes La Tristesse Durera manages to get its first number 1 this time, with three album eras missing out on a place.
