Manics Top 50s - 29th Nov 2021

The charts never went away but the blog returns after a brief hiatus seeing some Welsh band or other, I forget the name now.  There were three charts on 29th November, first up Andy goes with A Design For Life at number 1 and a rather satisfying "4 Ever" combination at 11 and 12.

This Is My Truth pushed its way through the scrum of the first six albums to lead the By Era chart with eight selections.

The second chart sees Of Walking Abortion steal in late in the day to claim its first 50 point haul, with The Holy Bible taking half of the top 10 places.  The same album triumphed in the By Era chart with nine picks.

Pretension/Repulsion became the second last album track to gain any points, leaving only one album track now without a vote.  There's still time but I'm not hopeful for it....

And finally in this batch is Keith, who chose Faster in top spot and in between submitting this chart and me blogging it kindly came over and said hello in Llandudno, nice to put a face to the chart!  

Be Natural's second place was its highest placing so far and after having no votes for so long, Pretension/Repulsion only went higher in the next chart submitted at number 31!
