There are four charts here including the one that took us over the previous record of 68 charts, and they don't look like stopping any time soon. Can we break 100?!
First is one of our more artistic entries, with Ocean Spray taking its second number 1 slot. This Sullen Welsh Heart and Locust Valley both take their place in the top 10 and earn their highest placing so far. To go with the number 1 and the top 10 B-side, Know Your Enemy takes the honours in the By Era chart with eight.
I'd can can if I could @gloomyok

The next chart is another artistic one, with Bob opting for leopard print and joining his daughter's previous submission in the process. A Design For Life takes the 50 points home but it's The Holy Bible that tops the By Era chart with eleven, so that's only two of the songs on the album not making it.
It's also a top three that mirrors the top three of the previous editions of the top 50s in content, if not in order. But will something else break in this time?

The third chart in this batch sees Motown Junk take its first number 1, perhaps surprising that it took this long? Automatik Teknicolour appears in its highest position in 6th, although not its only top 10 finish, while Starlover picks up its first vote.
There's a good spread across the albums in the By Era chart, with The Holy Bible just nudging ahead with seven.

Last but not least we have La Tristesse Durera appearing top of the pile for the fourth time so far, with the second place for Solitude Sometimes Is its highest position so far. Caldey grabs its third vote, but the second in the top 10, if we were going on average points that would score pretty highly!
There are also rare outings for What Happened To The Blue Generation, TE Lawrence On A Bike, Teenage 20/20 and Wattsville Blues, all picking up some much needed points for their tally.
