OK, for the first time all magazines not written in
English have their own chart. Vandalism is starting
to really dominate the charts, and Nitro is trying to
stay with it, but it's slipping. Then there is a big gap
before The Relax and The Pulse (which really dived
up the charts this time, maybe it will go higher again
next time?) I hate to use the term, but it does really
seem we were dredging the bottom of the barrel to
find enough magazines to fill the 30 places, with
some truly dreadful magazines down there. However,
Internal may rise higher over the next few issues.
Skyhigh actualy gained place 6 (!!!!) with 269 points,
and Revealed got 22nd with 45 points. The only mag
that missed the chart was Outdoor/Excess with only
one point.....

Hmm, sadly I have no idea WHATSOEVER who most of
those mags are run by, simply because I don't get
them at all, if some kind Polish guys could see fit to
tell me them, I would be eternally grateful! We all
recognise Vitality, mainly because even though it
is in Polish, it still usually challenges the English
mags, and is easily Poland's favourite. There are no
last places, as there is no point, with this being a
new charts. Is it just me, or do most of those names
sound like sexually transmitted diseases?!?!?

There really is no doubt in the minds of the voters
who is number one, but the next 4 places, as ever,
are undecided. Alphaflight do well to hold off F4CG
considering that (when these charts are being
written) they have no real Polish section. Again, I
think Chromance will be dissappointed with their
position, as will Onslaught. Notice that the reason
why there are so few votes for lesser known groups
is that the Skyhigh sheet only has 5 places for
cracking groups, and the 5 most popular groups
are usually the only ones to gain the places (and
they did this time). Hitmen have another disasterous
performance, being way down the table, with only 4
points! Just missing the 15 place cut were:

Citadel - Hardcore - Amnesia - Jabole - Dytec

As with the cracking group charts, there is no doubt
who the ruling cracker is. Hain should fall due to his
inactivity quite soon. Didi is still progressing up the
charts, and may soon overtake the non-cracking
Derbyshire Ram. Why Bacchus has risen is beyond me,
but it is good to see both Dodger and Jaydee making
a move towards the top. Just missing the chart were:

Gomes - Ream - Sailor - Skinhead - Sneaper - Stake

I decided to limit this chart to 10 places, as to go as
far as 20th place would actually have resulted in
having about 30 people in the charts, as after place
12 there were only people with 1 vote. Again Electric
rules the pencils, but Astaroth really is looking like
he will make a challenge for the top! I think this
chart brings some credibility to the other Artist's
charts, as it shows that Cruise is not just being
voted number 1 because he is Polish, but instead, as
I thought, because he is so talented (this chart
shows that by him not being on number 1 here, or so I
think, anyway!). Just missing the chart were:

Wacek - Reekol - Appacz - Doom - JJ - Pablo - Condic

Well, Germany reclaim the title! Well done to them. I
make a policy of entering all votes in this category,
no matter how bizarre they may be. HOWEVER, even I
was not quite ready to read a vote for YOGI BEAR!
Maybe you sheet fillers have not quite grasped the
idea of voting yet? I won't say the name of the guy
who did it, as it would be humiliating. However, I
guess it is probably more humiliating for Austria to
be beaten by a cartoon character!!!!!

OK, Intruder holds onto the top spot yet again, but
Spermbird is still in contention. However, those two
just dropped a lot of contacts, so they may not
maintain their positions. Derby Ram is constant as
ever, and Calypso shows his first fall from grace,
but he will probably stay inside the top ten. Rap
makes a massive entry, so well done to him (and
thanks a lot, too, as you have very clear writing on
votesheets!!!!!). I fall a bit as well. El Banditos,
Violator, and Macx are the 3 guys to watch in the
charts from now on, so watch them FLY!!! Just missing
the chart were:

Blaze - Coda - Zan - Almighty God - Chaotic - Didi


And that's it for the charts for this month. I hope
they made some interesting reading, and you all saw
what you wanted to see!
