Super-frickin’ oy! it’s been many ages since I’ve compiled charts regularly. Now it’s back to form. Don’t worry about the first six months of the goods I’m feeling; very soon, I’ll be taking a look back at the music from the  first six months of 2008. It’s the Halfway Rewind special, held around the final two weeks in June. Part One will focus on the albums, while Part Two the singles and EP’s. More details coming soon.

Meanwhile, have a gander at this current chart.
