Manics Top 50s - 5th Dec 2021 part 1

Deadline day was busy as expected with 12 charts submitted, so I've broken them down into two blogs of six.  That's a lot of votes to add onto what you've already seen and affect the final standings!  First up is a chart submitted by email where Faster took the top spot and The Holy Bible also took the honours in the By Era chart with nine.
