(The chart arrives one day ahead of the normal post-date, to avoid the planned UKMix shutdown.) Unloved show that they're anything but, by pushing Karen O out of the top slot after six weeks (although the latter has a new single ready to drop)... Meanwhile, James Yorkston is still pushing his lack of religion after two months (#2)... Specials celebrate their first outing since the 1980s by jumping into the Top 20 (#15, +18): good movement also for Ichabod Wolf (#8, +10), Swindle & Kojey (#12, +16), Steve Mason (#14, +12), Julia Holter (#18, +12 - after a slow start) and Ex:Re (24, +15)... Two of the new entries boast - if that's the correct term - promotional films shot in public toilets: Low (#30) and slowthai (#35)... See you after closedown (maybe)...

New chart finally imminent - some very confusing graphics hitting my screen since the refurb...
Music has the right to children
Two weeks of top love for the Unloved, but the Gorgeous Bully has - after ten weeks - sidled into the runner-up position just ahead of Kojey... Low go high for the week's biggest climb (#11, +19), with strong upward movement also for Drenge (#4, +12), Ex:Re (#14, +10), Max Cooper (#17, +15) and slowthai (#21, +14)... Karen O & Danger Mouse perhaps unsurprisingly bag the highest new entry (#20), with the previous cut still in the Top Ten... Other former chart-toppers re-emerge in the shape of Hinds (#25) and Bis (#32) - although in the case of the latter, one has to go back over two decades for their only number one on this chart... Finally - read on:

Waffles are checked cookies
After the best part of three months on the Top 40, Gorgeous Bully claim an unlikely berth at the top - their eleven-week climb easily destroying the previous record (eight weeks for TVAM's Psychic Data, last summer)... The resurgent Bis take the week's biggest climb (#10, +22), with decent jumps also recorded for Max Cooper (#6, +11), Karen O (#8, +12) and Lamb (#27, +10)... Eight new entries are headed by the Chemical Brothers (#19), with Foals also returning strongly after a three-year absence with the first cut from two imminent collections entitled Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost (#22)... This week's chart contains a veritable menagerie of mammals, including a mouse, a cat, a mi(i)nk, a lamb, a wolf, a yak, plus some foals and some hinds (a type of red deer to the uninitiated)... Anyways - here 'tis:

i really love CB, but this one for me is a big MEH
My year(s) in lists by Ivan (2008 - 2013)
Again, it doesn't break a lot of new ground but I'm happy enough to have them back with their defiant sound.
I reckon it's as good as anything else they've put out lately - and what's more, it's based on a line from my favourite movie of all time...

Gorgeous Bully hold off some very strong competition for a second week on top... The impending 'apocalypse' inspires two big climbs in the shape of Summon The Fire (#21, +17) and Lamb (#13, +14), with Chemical Brothers (#9, +10), Foals (#10, +12) and Bill Ryder-Jones (#18, +14) also performing well despite oncoming oblivion... Six new entries are headed by Snapped Ankles (#28), with first showings this time around for Another Sky (#29), Lucy Rose (#36) and The Skints (#37)... The stats:

Duluth, Minnesota three-piece Low bag their first number one on this run - and their third overall, Dinosaur Act (2000) and California (2005) having turned the trick back in the day... (The upward motion from several cuts sees Gorgeous Bully plummet to #8 - the biggest drop for a number-one so far...) Fat White Family are the week's fastest movers, however (#20, +15), with Summon The Fire (once again - #11, +10), Snapped Ankles (#17, +11) and Lucy Rose (#23, +13) also breaking the ten-place barrier... Four new entries are anchored by the very welcome return of Gang Of Four (#40)... The breakdown:

I keep forgetting to chart this, but this is enjoyable. The grungy guitar makes me draw obvious comparisons with The Pixies, which can only be good.

Yep, much raspier than some of their previous efforts. And all the better for it.

Gang Of Four is great. Though of course it's barely the same act either in style or membership. A real surprise to see 6 Music playlist it.
