Artist Top 40: The Charlatans



They may not have inspired the tabloid headlines or "chart battles" that some of their early contemporaries enjoyed/endured, but what The Charlatans have lacked in hype over the years, they've more than made up for in consistency with a truly remarkable discography. Churning out a string of ace albums, they've been around long enough now to see many bands that emerged during the same era break up (and sometimes reunite and break up again), but the Charlies remain resilient. Maybe even defiant. Despite the tragic loss of members over their history, the quality of The Charlatans' output has never suffered. On the eve of the release of their thirteenth studio album, Different Days, Wet Thud takes a look back at the band's discography and plays favourites. Look for a Spotify playlist of the full Top 40 following number one.
