Apologies for the lateness of the chart - slight technical hitches and all that.

As usual our old favourites such as Siouxsie and her Banshees, Mr Smith and the Bauhaus bunch all figured at the top.

1 -   Siouxsie & The Banshees  31
2 -   Depeche Mode  29
3 -   Sisters Of Mercy  25
4 -   Cure  24
5 -   Cult  16
6 -   Bauhaus  12
6 -   Joy Division  12
6 -   O Children  12
6 -   Rammstein  12
7 -  Fields Of The Nephilim  11

Once again with the old boys and girls removed the Chart looks a lot healthier. Happily for all of their supporters O Children are joint 1st. I've extended this list to include the top 16 bands as after that all other bands were played 6 times or less.

1 - O Children  12
1 - Rammstein  12
3 - Fields Of The Nephilim  11
4 - New Model Army  10
4 - Nine Inch Nails  10
5 - Mission  9
5 - Alien Sex Fiend  9
5 - Combichrist  9
6 - Killing Joke  8
6 - Gary Numan  8
6 - Soft Cell  8
7 - Pretentious Moi?  7
7 - New Order  7
7 - Covenant  7
7 - David Bowie  7
7 - Chameleons  7

Below is the list of the top twenty songs that have been played. I'm very happy to say that we have no Lady Gaga and this is a fairly gothic chart. As you will see it has some fairly old stuff such as A Flock Of Seagulls (Mick Score's hair still gets talked about) but it's encouraging to see Pretentious, Moi? featuring.

1 - O Children - Ruins  7
2 - Siouxsie and The Banshees - Spellbound  6
3 - Pretentious Moi? - The Garden  5
3 - Cult - She Sells Sanctuary  5
3 - Sisters Of Mercy - Dominion/Mother Russia  5
6 - Duran Duran - Girls On Film  4
6 - A Flock Of Seagulls - I Ran  4
6 - Alien Sex Fiend - I Walk The Line  4
6 - Cure - A Forest  4
6 - Bolshoi - Away  4
6 - Danielle Dax - Big Hollow Man  4
6 - Cure - Boys Don't Cry  4
6-  VNV Nation - Chrome  4
6 - Siouxsie & The Banshees - Cities In Dust  4

6 - Depeche Mode - Never Let Me Down Again  4
6 - Editors - Papillon  4
6 - Merry Thoughts - Pale Empress  4
6 - Department S - Is Vic There  4
7 - Dutch Order - Jack N Jill  3

From Dutch Order onwards, all other songs were played either 3 times, twice or once.
We had a massive 1055 songs in our list but if you look at the data for O Children, various Whitby events played them and they've recently toured so they're fairly high profile at the moment.

O Children's album is now proving itself to be one of the 'must have' albums of this year as several tracks from the album are now consistently being played as staple dance floor tracks.
