#226 to #250

226 (185) Sunburn - Muse [n,n,158,188,185] Showbiz
227 (176) At My Most Beautiful - R.E.M. [n,n,n,126,176] In Time (Best Of)
228 (NE) Cause=Time - Broken Social Scene
229 (197) Optimistic - Radiohead [n,n,n,155,197] Kid A
230 (187) Muscle Museum - Muse [n,n,n,214,187] Showbiz

Four minor fallers, and a second Broken Social Scene entry. The first was in the top 20 last year; this one isn't quite so impressively high. The top of two songs to have the equals sign in the title.

231 (98) Moonshine - Feeder [n,n,32,91,98] Comfort In Sound
232 (215) Scattered Black And Whites - Elbow [n,n,n,182,215] Asleep In The Back
233 (NE) We Will Become Silhouettes - Postal Service Give Up
234 (165) Nightswimming - R.E.M. [n,n,n,257,165] In Time (Best Of)
235 (160) Folded Paper Figures - Hell Is For Heroes [n,n,n,n,160] Transmit Disrupt

A spectacular fall for Feeder's 'Moonshine' after 3 years in the top hundred... another REM song falls in a bad year for them. Plus, a new entry for one of my favourite new bands in the countdown, the Postal Service.

236 (152) Pain - Jimmy Eat World [n,n,n,n,152]
237 (220) Path - Apocalyptica [n,n,110,n,220]
238 (287) Conspiracy Of One - Offspring [n,n,n,272,287] Conspiracy Of One
239 (266) No Surprises - Radiohead [n,n,193,207,266] OK Computer
240 (173) Slow Hands - Interpol [n,n,n,n,173] Antics

So despite the exit of the past #1 by Four Star Mary, there remains a song called 'Pain' in the chart. Jimmy Eat World's one falls, though, so this is the first year there hasn't been Pain in the top 200.

241 (95) The Meaning Of Life - Offspring [n,n,n,n,95] Ixnay On The Hombre
242 (289) They Will Call Us Savages - Hell Is For Heroes [n,n,n,n,289] Transmit Disrupt
243 (219) Salt Sweat Sugar / Bleed American - Jimmy Eat World [n,n,n,n,219] Jimmy Eat World
244 (109) Song 2 - Blur [n,n,68,60,109] The Best Of
245 (218) High - Feeder [n,n,n,111,218] Polythene

Possibly the biggest riser so far from Hell Is For Heroes, with "They Will Call Us Savages". You might have heard of the Blur song at 244 ;) #243 has two titles because of a legal rethink after 9/11. The album was also called 'Bleed American', but the one I have is eponymous.

246 (NE) On Every Street - Dire Straits Sultans Of Swing - Best Of
247 (NE) There's No Such Thing As A Jaggy Snake - Biffy Clyro Infinity Land
248 (150) Evil - Interpol [n,n,n,n,150] Antics
249 (NE) The Everthere - Elbow Leaders Of The Free World
250 (RE) 88 Lines About 44 Women - Nails [n,n,n,269,n]

Wheee! Lots of new entries here. A classic Dire Straits songs finally gets a mention. The Biffy entry is the first title in this year's rundown to feature a (non-human) animal. Then we have one of the seven deadly sins (the only one in the top 300, AFAIK), a rather nice Elbow album track (release another single, damnit!), and the only re-entry, from the Nails.
