Mean Moomin sez

What are they playing at this lot? Well pop world cup still winning the day, with expert commentary catching some extra listeners in its sinister (ho) indie web. Well done The Presets then. Outside the top 3 there is another spread of tracks with a reach of 4 and a surprise reappearance for The Stevens, and The Knife Band continuing to bubble under like some malevolent haunted presence....

1 The Presets - Girl And The Sea [Cut Copy RMX] 7
2 Cansei de Ser Sexy - Let's make love and listen death from above 5
2 m-flo - Reeeewind ! (ft. Crystal Kay) 5

reach of 4
Rachel Stevens - So Good
Girls Aloud - Biology
Smoosh - Rad
Torgny Melins - Cobrastyle
Grupa 4'33'' - Ave Maria Laudata
The Knife - Neverland
The Knife - Like a pen
The Knife - Marble house
The Knife - The captain
The Knife - We share our mother's health
The Knife - silent shout
The Knife - Na na na
