The Friday Canon: MANIC STREET PREACHERS

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

The Manics (BA Hons, Swansea) are responsible for many things: a reasonably popular London club night, skyrocketing feather boa sales, the gratitude of the Goan tourist board and of course, thousands upon thousands of rabid fans desperate to bleed all over Steve Lamacq in 'tribute'. But what do you poptimists make of their back catalogue? 33 UK Top 40 singles means you get ELEVEN ticks to dish out. Eyeliner pencils at the ready!

You can get U.S. chart info from allumsic.com, though they're something of a pain in the ass: you have to search the performer, then click "Charts And Awards," then click "Billboard Singles." Then you have to figure out which chart designation is relevant (for today's purposes, up to 1983 it's "Pop Singles" and after that it's "Billboard Hot 100" [but not "Pop 100" or "Mainstream Top 40"]). Also, they'll probably make you register.
