Hello to all, here is the FIRST instalment of the Weekly Chart for 2018

Only 87 votes last week, I hope this can pick up. Let me take this opportunity to ask you :

Is there anything you would like to see implemented or improved in the chart ?

We can carry on as is, hovering on 130 votes on a good week and 90 on a bad. Nominations vary greatly and secondments seem to have died down. I'd be happy to see your ideas on how to improve this regular feature. Please feel free to comment on what you like and don't like in the current features.

Noteworthy :

Lorde regains her top spot with force, leaving Sufjan in the dust...
Four new entries - Charli XCX Backseat, Grizzly Bear's Sky Took Hold, BROCKHAMPTON's BOOGIE and The Staves / ymusic's Take Me Home
Kicked out : Car Seat Headrest / Danielle Luppi / Japanese Breakfast / James Holden / The Staves
No Hoffers

Without further ado, here is your chart - HAPPY VOTING - and remember to vote for the young'uns !!! (suggestion : between 3 & 5 of your votes)

Thanks for taking on the chart and all you do. Doing a great job, nothing to add. It probably takes a hit at year end due to festivities & year end lists etc.

I nominate:

Glen Hansard - Time Will be the Healer

I concur. It probably doesn't help that less music is released at the end of the year either.

Nomination: Tonya Harding (In D major) by Sufjan Stevens

I suppose if Beach Life-in-Death was allowed I'll second this re-release.

Also Frankie Cosmos - Jesse

Nana Adjoa - Late Bloomer
7Chariot - Ricochet

If there's enough room for a second nomination - I'd like to put forward Crayons by cupcakKe

Else, there's always next week ^_^

I guess my nomination actually seconded this one.

Yo Spiritualized! Yer handicapping my Grizzly Bear nomination. LOL! You have the Charli XCX song twice on Spotify and not the Grizzly track.

Ooooh soooo sorry.
I’ll see what I can do !

There, fixed it. Even voted for it, it’s qualifiable now

If there's room for another nomination:

Childhood - Too Old for My Tears

Yer AWESOME! Thanks!

Interesting how well Formidable Cool is doing here while I'm the only person who voted for it in the EOY poll!

Caitlyn Smith - 'Before You Called Me Baby'

Jay Som “Pirouette”

On a side note, thanks to the nominators of Jeff Rosenstock, both his tracks are very good, must check his album out

The Radio Dept. – “Your True Name”
