Manics Top 50s - 13th May 2015

It's another two returning contributors from last time today and while in the first chart the number one manages to retain its place, the rest of the chart is quite different.  A healthy dose of songs from the latest two albums and a big reshuffle elsewhere, but let's face it, it would be boring if we kept it the same, right?!  I'm sure most of us would change them around if we were asked again the following day!

The second chart also manages to retain its number one and is probably the biggest chart of the underdog so far, ticking off a number of our no-vote songs in the process.  It's also significant for being weighted more towards the second half of the band's career, yet still, every era manages to see at least one vote.
