The Chart Show Top 20 11-19-09

For the 5th week in a row our #1 blew everyone else away! 

Perhaps giving tickets away for their sold out show helped them this week? 

Congrats to the brand new #2 who played in town this week supporting Brendon Benson and reports suggested a storming show.

The Chart Show will be on Wednesday at 8pm next week because of Thanksgiving and you'll get a chance to win tickets to see The Swell Season Dec 5th at The State Theater.

Four new entries (X) and one re-entry (r) this week and mason Jennings does it again!

He's the only artist to have two different songs on the chart and he's done it for 4 weeks. But now with three different songs?!?!  He plays at First Ave 11/29.

The Number One remains the same for the fourth week and again it's winning by a large margin.  Their show at The Varsity sold out weeks ago, but we'll be giving away tix on air all week and to one lucky winner who votes for The Chart.

Congrats to Ryan from Inver Grove Heights who is going to Dinosaur Jr. next week.

The first time that the #1 has stayed the same! And the highest number of local artists,another record breaking chart, appropriate for our record breaking Member Drive week!

Congrats to Sarah from Uptown, she's the winner of the Chris Koza tickets AND a roomie of the famous cat Trogdor who came in 2nd in Looch's Critter Contest, what a day for her!?!

Another first this week, Mason Jennings is the first artist to have two songs on the chart at the same time! Don't forget you can write in a song if you think we have missed something, that's another way we're getting your feedback through this show. Three weeks ago we had so many write in votes for Edward Sharpe that we added it to the list and look where it is this week! What a wonderful surprise to see such a new young band top a chart filled with 'veterans'! They will be at The Varsity Nov 29th.

AND thanks for all the support during the first day of our Member Drive, we had a ton of people joining during the show which is great too, when you join tell us that you like the chart show, we don't you're out there until you make the call...

CONGRATS to Madelaine of Minneapolis she's going to see Bob Mould next Tuesday.
THANKS to Dana from Woodbury for writing a long letter, the old fashioned way to say how much he liked the Chart Show idea, and that he thought I looked like Robert Smith or Edward Scissorhands when he first listened to me! You can send your Global Shout Out via email mwheat@mpr.org anytime of the week and then listen around 8.30 on the night that we run down the Top 20.

Lots of movement on the chart this week and a new layout...what'yathink?
The LW is Last Week's position and TW this week and WKS the number of weeks spent on the chart...and another brand new Number One! I wonder who will be the first to retain that spot?
