Sunday gone: Scissor Sisters are gone (well, to 2/3 in singles/albums), swept aside by a wave of stadium rock. Yes, The Killers take the album top spot with almost as enormous numbers as Ta Dah did, and Razorlight really are singles number one single with "America". I could at least say ha, they barely sold 30,000 but that's kind of normal now I suppose. Sigh. This brings nu-Britpop/haircut indie (someone had better give this a proper name before it's done) to a total number one tally of three, so it's basically only its own Oasis short of equalling Britpop's.
Snow Patrol go up a place once again to 16 and it doesn't look like "Set The Fire To The Third Bar" will get much a look in on release at this rate.
My Chemical Romance are 23 on downloads and Bedouin Soundclash stall at 24 on full release. I've never come across Nerina Pallot's "Sophia" but it's at 32, and Trivium squeeze just into the top forty for the first time with "Anthem (We Are The Fire)", which sounds horrifying. The usual download effects manage to get previous singles by Lily Allen, Razorlight and Paolo Nutini all into the top forty, and what use that is to anyone I'm not sure.
Sunday coming: Well, it's a bit late in the week for this to be worth much, but essentially you're looking at the same as last week. Except... last I heard My Chemical Romance were only 400 sales behind Razorlight. Now there's something to root for! Unless you're of the opinion that they're just as bad, in which case you're wrong. Very wrong.

Just been listening to Vega4 - a mixture of Snow Patrol and U2. Their website says there is a new single out on Monday 16th called Traffic Jam. Sounds good.
MCR are 2k ahead now.
I was going to say, I can understand people who didn't like the last MCR record as much as I did, but comparing them unfavourably to Razorlight? Who does that?
