Hello! Having stormed to the top of the Amazing Radio Chart last week, Leeds band Bear Driver have held on to the Number 1 spot for a second week with their glorious slice of indie pop, Enemy. The band’s next live show is this coming Friday at The MacBeth in Hoxton.

Two weeks on top: Bear Driver
Elsewhere in the Top 3, we’ve had a massive New Entry from London trio Les Mistons, only a couple of weeks since they were played on the Audition show, just ahead of a huge climber from A Genuine Freakshow.
Fresh from being praised by the Guardian, Cosmo Jarvis remains at Number 4, with Ryan Kelly rounding off the Top 5 with Go If You Want To still in contention after 7 weeks inside the Top 20.

Hello! It’s all change at the top of the Amazing Radio Chart this week, with Saint Saviour climbing to Number 1 with her show-stopping anthem This Ain’t No Hymn. As well as being praised from all corners of the music press since the turn of the year, she recently came in to play The Amazing Sessions and the popularity of her Anatomy EP has snowballed ever since.

New Number 1: Saint Saviour
Leeds band Bear Driver have also surged up the rankings on amazingtunes.com over the past seven days, climbing to their highest position yet at Number 2, in a closely-fought week near the summit of the rundown. Ryan Kelly has slipped a couple of places with his track Go If You Want To, with Kyla La Grange and Mammal Club for company in the Top 5.

Up 9 places to Number 6: Cosmo Jarvis
As well as big climbs for Cosmo Jarvis, Fossil Collective, The Travelling Band and The Kill Van Kulls into the Top 10, we’ve also seen New Entries further down from London duo AlunaGeorge at Number 16, Brighton band Boy Cried Wolf at Number 17 and Swedish production crew Modual at Number 19 this week.

Hello! It’s been a while since I said this, but “there’s a new song at the top of the chart.” Gasp. After the recent domination of Kyla La Grange, County Tyrone singer-songwriter Ryan Kelly has the new Amazing Radio Chart Number 1.

New Number 1: Ryan Kelly
The Celtic Thunder star has been in and out of our Top 20 since the start of March with his track Go If You Want To, but this week his legions of fans around the globe have been buying and streaming the song sufficiently on amazingtunes.com to catapult him to the summit.
Having enjoyed a stint of 5 weeks on top, Kyla La Grange has slipped to Number 2, while Bear Driver and Saint Saviour have climbed to their highest positions yet inside the Top 5. London folk crew Felix Fables are up to Number 6 with Oceans, while Newcastle genii Mammal Club are also in the Top 10 for the very first time with Four.

Climbing into the Top 10: Mammal Club
New Manchester band-on-the-block The Kill Van Kulls have this week’s highest new entry inside the Top 20 with Fools Wish landing at Number 14, while further down there are debuts for Evokateur at Number 19 and Laki Mera at Number 20.

Hello! We’ve got a new Number 1 on the Amazing Radio Chart this week, with Kyla La Grange having hit the top spot with her new single Walk Through Walls, only a matter of hours before the song’s physical UK release. Amazing Radio, ahead of the game once again! Make sure you tune in to hear a report from her single launch at the Notting Hill Arts Club on Amazing Radio’s excellent Amazing Live show next week.
In a funny twist of fate, one of Kyla’s support acts at the Walk Through Walls single launch was none other than the artist she’s replaced at the top of the pile! Daughter slips a place to Number 2 this week, after spending nearly two months inside the Top 20.

New Number 1: Kyla La Grange
Theo Altieri and Royal Treatment Plant also tumble but stay in the Top 5, joined by this week’s Amazing Sessions guests Tigers That Talked, whose track 23 Fears has reached its highest position yet.

In the world of New Entries, Newport crew Dirty Goods have the highest-placed at Number 13 with Honest, while there are also some newbies from Matt Norris & The Moon, Ryan Kelly, Blackchords and Let’s Buy Happiness in the Top 20.

Hello! Despite a healthy amount of movement in the upper reaches of the Amazing Radio Chart this week, Mancunian beatniks Santiago Street Machine have stayed on top again with their hit Sinking Stone.
