TOPIC: Tripwire Top 30
Posted  Sunday, August 8, 2004 at 6:59 PM
Post 1 of 3
Here's the top 10 from the UK's Tripwire Top 30 list (basically this list is compiled using "Specialty show airplay in markets all across the country... We are compiling raw spins from the specialty panel and weighting it by market size to come up with our final number, which you'll see below.) 
 
01
The Libertines
Can't Stand Me Now
[Rough Trade/Sanctuary]

Crazy British drama queens ready to rock our Yankee socks off at the top of this week's chart.

02
My Chemical Romance
I'm Not OK / You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison
[Reprise]

This New Jersey-based outfit jumps eight spots from last week and are racking up big sales numbers, to boot.

03
The Explosion
Here I Am
[Virgin]

We heard the band actually put the packaging for this terribly limited piece of rock history together on their own, and once we got a peek at it, we knew it to be true. Thanks for sending it out, David!

04

Taking Back Sunday
The Union / Number Five With A Bullet / A Decade Under The Influence / Bonus Mosh Pt. II / Set Phasers To Stun / Slowdance On The Inside / I Am Fred Astaire
[Victory]

Victory are thanking their lucky stars that they were able to hold on to these cash cows.

05
Tommy Stinson
Not A Moment Too Soon / Something's Wrong / Motivation / Without A View
[Sanctuary]

Ex-Replacement shows us all he's still got what it takes with solo debut.

06
The Zutons
Long Time Coming / Pressure Point / Railroad / Zuton Fever / Havana Gang Brawl / You Will Won't You
[Deltasonic/Epic]

Quirk rockers doing what they do best - quirkily rocking their way up the charts.

07
Badly Drawn Boy
Year Of The Rat / Summertime In Wintertime / This Is That New Song
[Astralwerks]

The prolific Damon Gough is back with a new album and new label and as you can see, they are both treating him quite well this week.

08
The Pixies
Bam Thwok
[iTunes]

Could this be a result of your Cornerstone pals putting this track on the Player .053? HmmŠ

09
Sparta
Guns Of Memorial Park / Breaking The Broken
[Geffen]
Ex-At The Drive-In members take a slight tumble from last week, but continue to be a specialty favorite.

10
The Features
The Way It's Meant To Be
[Universal]

Everyone is loving this Nashville-based outfit and their debut single "The Way It's Meant To Be". We want to hear more.

What about "There's A Million Ways..."?

Still, this is good news!
