Granted, this week’s chart isn’t as good as it usually is (although “Run” by Snow Patrol is in there because of Leona Lewis’ “cover” of the song on some show i’ve never heard of, and the band’s “Chasing Cars” is back in the Top 75 for an insane 90th overall week.

Weirder things have happened on the UK Top 40, like Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci being denied one Top 40 single out of their eight Top 75 entries, “Shaddup You Face” stopping the wonderful “Vienna” by Ultravox from hitting the Top 40 or Blur actually being represented on the pop charts by songs that are actually representative of their overall sound instead of one offs like “Girls & Boys” or “Song 2″.
