Foxy's progress - part 2

No movement for James Fox's single. Still stuck at #12 in the Thursday midweek chart. If he enters the chart at #12 on Sunday, that will be the highest chart placing for the UK's Eurovision entry since 1999, when Precious made #6 with 'Say It Again'. James is currently 3 places higher than Jemini made last last year and a tantalising one place higher than Jessica Garlick two years ago.

The big chart news though (hello Mark!) is the return of Marillion. It's a very good week for groups beginning with 'Mar', as Maroon 5 claim the highest new entry and Marillion the second. It will be their fourth top ten hit, and it's only taken them seventeen frigging years since the third one! I bet you can only name one. (No Mark, not you, normal people.) That's an incredible gap. I wonder how many people still think Fish is their lead singer and exactly how many 18 year-olds there are called Kayleigh?
