My obsession/collection with weird charts continues. What do you reckon about this?
1 Coldplay 2 Radiohead 3 Green Day 4 The Beatles 5 Death Cab for Cutie 6 System of a Down 7 Foo Fighters 8 Gorillaz 9 The White Stripes 10 Weezer 11 Red Hot Chili Peppers 12 Nirvana 13 The Killers 14 Metallica 15 Pink Floyd 16 Beck 17 U2 18 Franz Ferdinand 19 Oasis 20 Led Zeppelin 21 Nine Inch Nails 22 The Smashing Pumpkins 23 blink-182 24 The Cure 25 Queen 26 Muse 27 Kanye West 28 The Postal Service 29 Bloc Party 30 Modest Mouse 31 David Bowie 32 Bright Eyes 33 Incubus 34 Pixies 35 R.E.M. 36 Jimmy Eat World 37 Interpol 37 The Offspring 39 Linkin Park 40 The Shins
Taken from Audioscrobbler/last.fm's weekly artist reach - ie this chart is sorted by the most popular played artists over the last 7 days from Audioscrobbler's army of thousands of well-meaning nerds, of which I am one.
The Shins???
Now apparently if it was down to me, the top 40 would apparently look like this:
1 Sultans of Ping F.C. 2 Blur 3 Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine 4 Radiohead 5 A 6 Art Brut 7 Kate Bush 7 Franz Ferdinand 9 frank and walters 10 Data Panik 11 ˇForward, Russia! 12 They Might Be Giants 13 XTC 14 My Life Story 15 Coldplay 15 The Cardigans 15 British Sea Power 15 Bloc Party 19 Republica 19 Salad 21 Pulp 22 Stereolab 22 Manic Street Preachers 22 Echobelly 22 Kenickie 22 The Darling Buds 27 Ben Folds Five 27 The Clash 27 bis 27 Gorillaz 27 The Stone Roses 27 Saint Etienne 27 Marion 27 A House 35 The Divine Comedy 35 Pop Will Eat Itself 35 Super Furry Animals 35 Barenaked Ladies 35 Menswear 35 The Pipettes
how are Deathcab the fifth biggest band in the world? nobody knows them in Europe! The Beatles should be number 1 WITHOUT a doubt - based on the fact that they're the biggest band ever. Even though theyre not popular now,bands like Metallica or Kiss would still be a lot bigger than Coldplay. It seems to me you just wrote down a list of the trendiest bands in the world...
I can't believe that first list. Led Fucking Zeppelin is 15 spaces below Death Cab? What fucking pack of wankers created that list? Coldplay above the Beatles?
And that last comment that Coldplay are bigger than U2? Maybe in your arse they are, but nowhere else, mate.
This post was up for 7 minutes before it got referrer-spammed :-(
Uhhh, where are the Stones?
Below the Shins, it would seem
Yours is considerably better it has to be said, but Blur ahead of Carter? Tsk tsk...
a mere glitch.
interesting. i signed uo for audioscrobbler 3 days ago and am addicted to checking its stats.
What, no Luxury of Feeling Fine?
Well your list looks a lot like my record collection.. :-)
Uh, New Order/Joy Division? Half of those bands wouldn't even be on that list if it weren't for the longtime band!!!

... I don't think you bothered to read the article fully, my anonymous friend.
Well, Oasis should be right up the top, and green day and blink they should not be in there.
Green Day deserves their spot up there, they climbed the charts faster than anyone else in the past years.
Franz Fwedinand rocks!!! They should be the best band!!
??? U2 are the biggest band in the world everyone knows this.., im no music guru but ever i know that ;?
Coldplay are probably bigger than U2 at the moment.
