Manics Top 50s - 30th Nov 2021

This was a four chart day, starting off with another number 1 to add to Faster's collection, holding off some of the other big contenders overall in the top 3.  Everything Must Go took the honours by era with seven, but there were strong showings for both Rewind The Film and Futurology with five each.

The next chart was significant for being chart number 100!  Unfortunately for Paul there was no prize, just the eternal respect of his peers.  A Design For Life was number 1 here, with the top 3 being rearranged from the first chart above.

It was another fairly even chart by era, with lots of 5s, 4s and 3s, Generation Terrorists, Everything Must Go and This Is My Truth sharing the honours with five each.

Beata returns to New Chart Riot on the back of her previous fantasy setlist painting (check the index page to take a look), giving This Is Yesterday its third number 1 so far.  To Repel Ghosts and Sepia also achieved their highest placings to date (Sepia matching an earlier number 3 pick).

Picturesque was the next song to be removed from the no-vote list, coming in for the first time at number 42, while Generation Terrorists (and earlier) took the honours in the By Era chart.
