Manics Top 50s - 19th August 2013

So, as we move into the final stretch we have chart number 36, and from the number of people who have either already started the countdown or have indicated a chart is forthcoming, we're looking good to hit 50 top 50s!!!  This may include some familiar names, a few of whom have been asked and have accepted the challenge!

Tonight's chart has a very classic looking top 10 and another of those charts where the 'By Era' view is pretty balanced across the board.  I have to admit the temptation to start totalling everything up is overwhelming for me, but I'm resisting!!!  There are a few obvious mainstays of everyone's charts but on the whole I couldn't second guess what will make it and what will miss out!!

Also beginning to find its feet is a sister chart for Manics videos - Top 10 this time!!  Full details will follow with the next blog post but if you really can't wait check out #ManicsTop10Vids on Twitter.  @MildManics is doing the honours on the compilation of everything but you will see the results here so everything is in one place.
