Manics Top 50s - 5th Oct 2021

A couple of charts today, with our first family member up to start with.  Bob is still working on his own chart, but his daughter Maddie beat him to it with this selection, La Tristesse grabbing its second number 1 so far.  The first five albums are the main focus, with a sprinkling of Journal in there too, and a top 10 packed full of songs that are likely to be challenging for the final 50.

Our second chart sees Freedom Of Speech scoring its first 50 pointer at the top, and not only does The Ghost Of Christmas come flying in at number 3, but the other, shall we say, out of character song from the Manics back catalogue Together Stronger is also included!

Caldey scores big on its debut appearance at number 6 and after I announced on Twitter the other day that there are only ten album tracks across their whole back catalogue yet to pick up a point, that particular klaxon went off with this chart as the selection of The Descent (Pages 1 & 2) reduced that list to nine.  Postcards has seven songs included to take a rare victory as most selected era.
