Interestingly (well, perhaps you be the judge) this was the first year since 2001 with an "indie" top 3, which might bear out all the talk of indiepop revival. It's partly for that reason - though not *just* that reason, that the field opens up beyond the UK a little more, taking in Sweden, Norway, USA, Japan, Indonesia, Canada, Ireland, Russia, Austria and Slovenia (and Jamaica, if you count Elephant Man's vocals on the E.J. record...)

The Beatnik Filmstars, Boyracer, Manhattan Love Suicides, Faintest Ideas, Skream and the Bug all have at least three singles (including splits) in the top 100; Cluekid, Tinchy Stryder, Lapidus, Saxon (!) and Bearsuit two each. Plus, in terms of the usual suspects, JME and D.A.V.E. the Drummer turn up on at least a couple of tunes (as does, um, Lemmy), Skepta appears on four (17, 27, 39 and 74) and Wiley on five (12, 24, 38, 39 and 74)...
