Another Year In Pop: 37

Ladies and gentlemen we have a new number one! We truly are living in exciting times when Kings Of Leon can get to the top spot. Hmmm.

Elsewhere, Miley is slowly sneaking up towards the top 10, Skepta's Rolex Sweep enters at no.89, and Bonnie Tyler is this week's inexplicable new entry at 57 thanks to Total Eclipse Of The Heart being cheaply dubbed over that Phil Collins gorilla advert.

It didn't - though 'Jimmy' got to No 66. Its actual official re-release is in October so it's probably going to go much higher. I find the reasons for this quite depressing.

Is it featured in that Pineapple Express film? ISTR hearing it over a trailer on 't'telly.

YAS, this is what has caused it to go actual TOP FIVE in the states as well...
