  2. We’re on the wavelength I think… I was really happy with the mix of styles that made it into the chart.

  3. Yes, Adamski, a superb initiative and even better result (we’ll just let number 49 cral into a corner under the sink and fester, shall we?). Happy New Year!! or yeni yılınızı kutlar, sağlık ve başarılar dileriz, as I believe you say it (but don’t ask me to pronounce it). x

  6. Great work – I only wish I had voted like I meant to. You’ve inspired me to write a post (or posts) on songs that could have made it (where’s The Runaway’s Cherry Bomb for instance) but I keep putting it off. I’m hoping that mentioning it here will force me to pull my finger out.

    Looking forward to your alternative list.
