We realize it’s been a long three weeks, and it’s very easy to lose track of who placed above who, and who’s below who, so as we hit the half way point it’s time to look back on numbers 100-51 with all the handy  links you need.

But first some fun stats!

In the first 50 we’ve had Eight Main Stage Headliners (Franz Ferdinand, Kings Of Leon, The Killers, The Darkness, Eminem, Blink-182, Red Hot Chili Peppers, My Chemical Romance).

We’ve had Six Sub-headliners (Kings Of Leon, The Killers, Beck, Morrissey, Blink-182, Marilyn Manson), and Eight And A Half NME Headliners (Maximo Park, The Cribs, The Klaxons(x2), Kasabian, The Raconteurs, Primal Scream, Pendulum, 2manyDJs and Crystal Castles).

Two Lock Up Headliners (Less Than Jake, Bad Religion) and Festival Republic Headliner (The Horrors, The Kills).

What about the genre breakdown?

Indie: 32% (16)
Rock: 26% (13)
Punk: 20% (10)
Rap: 8% (4)
Metal 8% (4)
Dance: 6% (3)
