Hi everyone - it's late on Saturday night and we are getting settled in our temporary move for a month - the real move to our new house happens on November 26. So almost everything - including most of my records - are now in storage and we are living with minimal comforts of home for a month. Aside from this event, another significant event has taken place with the Tuned-On! Top 30. For the first time in the 7 year history of this chart, a song advertised and sold on the Internet has reached #1. Congratulations to Halifax’s Mitchell Hunter, whose “They Might Say” is one of the best songs of 2004 and has quickly ascended to the top in its third bi-weekly appearance. Thanks to Mike B for tipping me to this great song. It has a terrific story and what I consider to be a very sincere performance by the singer. Please check it out at s14.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=8B246165E97F28CB7481B676CA5876CD over the next 7 days. As soon as my life settles down, Mitchell's CD is one of about a half-dozen I plan to purchase! Other than this news, DJ Tatana has the fastest riser with "Always On My Mind" featuring vocalist Jael. This has nothing to do with the Elvis Presley/Willie Nelson/Pet Shop Boys tune of the same name. K-Os got knocked down to #5 while Tyler Hilton's "When It Comes" continues to grow on me at #3 and McFly's fun "That Girl" hangs on at #4. Four new songs are led by "Somewhere Only We Know" by UK band Keane. Like the band Ours, Keane's lead singer sounds a lot like Jeff Buckley, but with Paul McCartney and Freddie Mercury influences mixed in. Canadian band Boy also debuts with "Same Old Song", a great new song to watch for. Enough of my rambling! You can check out the full chart at www.geocities.com/tunedon/tunedontop30.htmlEnjoy and post all comments!

Bill, is "Flashdance" a remake of the Irene Cara dance classic from 1983? I can't imagine another song being named "Flashdance," but ... I would have said the same thing about "Always on My Mind," too! At any rate, if it is an Irene Cara remake, I surely would love a link! (In your spare time, of course!) I am downloading your #1 track as we speak. I'll let you know what I think! (I know you can't wait!) Great to see you share some of the love for Yellowcard's new tune. It's up 24-22 on my latest chart. ;D So ... did soulDecision's album street on Oct. 26 as originally planned, or is it indeed pushed back to January? Guess I could check the website to see if there are any updates since I last peeked in.... Keep up the Tyler love! His video is set to debut on MTV's TRL on November 17. I wonder if there really may be a chance in Heck afterall of this making some waves on U.S. radio. At the very least, AC and Hot AC should be jumping all over this one! "When It Comes" is in its 3rd week at #1 on my list. ;D

Great chart Bill! Nice to see Keane enter. I'll be sure to check out the Mitchell Hunter track. Don't forget about Projet Orange for chart consideration!

The SoulDecision official site wants visitors to register to join a chat, so something's up. I haven't heard anything about an update on the release of Shady Satin Drug yet. I think Tyler is about as high as he will go with "When It Comes". His CD is not yet out in Canada so I'll likely order it from Amazon or get it when I'm in the U.S. at Christmas (this year's holiday will be spent with my wife's family either in Buffalo or Albany).

Naomi will be Top 10 in two weeks. I sent the Deep Dish Mp3 to David J but didn't keep the yousendit.com reference - maybe he could send it to you and you could share...
