Top 20 Show - RADIOHEAD



Thanks to Adriaan and ...

Phoenix FM broadcast its first Radiohead Top 20 on 21 May 2005. Back then we had 2,273 votes - a record for a station poll - and Paranoid Android proved to be a clear winner.

A similar number of people voted for the chart this time round - 2,292 in all. Paranoid Android was still the favourite but its gap over the rest of the field was considerably reduced. Most of the top 10 from three years ago stayed the same, with How To Disappear Completely jumping up from no 6 last time to be this year's runner up.

New album In Rainbows, released just two weeks before the poll opened, was very well received - none making the top ten this time round but most of the songs giving a strong showing. The ten songs fared as follows:

12. Reckoner
13. Nude
20. Weird Fishes/Arpeggi
21. Jigsaw Falling Into Place
22. All I Need
23. 15 Step
25. Videotape
40. Bodysnatchers
50. Faust Arp
56. House Of Cards

The Top 20 included 8 songs from OK Computer, 4 from Kid A, 3 from In Rainbows, 2 from The Bends and Hail To The Thief and 1 from Amnesiac. The most popular track from the band's (sadly underrated 1993 debut) Pablo Honey was Creep which scraped in at number 37 this time round.
