Gallifrey Base iPod MP3 Chart May/June 2012

I thought I was going to be posting a change at the top, as the Beatles caught and passed Bowie, but in the last week of June David came back to restore a lead of the odd vote in 361. The Fab Four are once again easily top of the bi-monthly chart though, with Metallica a surprise second ahead of DB. The picks have dried up a bit behind them, with Queen and Floyd only mustering 14 between them, while further down the chart, Muse climb 15 places to #29 and Coldplay parlay 7th place in the period to a new entry at #33 in the overall placings, with the only other new face being Bjork, though Green Day came from nowhere to be bubbling under at #58...

Gallifrey Base iPod MP3 Chart May 2012

Hello again (I'm going to pretend there's someone out there actually reading this - if there really is then hello again, if not ignore this bit) and welcome to the top 50 artists picked by Gallifrey Base posters up to May 2012. In all honesty not a lot has changed at the top, though Duran Duran have pulled clear from the Clash for number 6 and Blur have entered the top 10 for the first time having risen from #27 in my first snapshot from October 2011. Highest new entry is Cardiacs at #29, highest re-entry Gary Numan at #38 and highest climber is Joy Division, up 12 places to #35 - all in the top 10 for the period under review...
