Hey up #Manics fans! A reminder for those who've heard, and a heads up those who haven't (share away!) - we’re putting together something special; a huge community ranking of every studio song the band has ever released. Your favourites matter. Follow along and join so your picks can be counted!
It's March! How did that happen?! Hope all well. Thanks to those who are following and we hope looking forward the launch of our #Manics polls soon here on Bluesky. Keep telling anyone you think may be interested that we're around the place!

But…
I got 99 problems
But this band ain’t one

On this day in 1995, NME, Kerrang! magazine and the Melody Maker all broke the news of the disappearance of Manic Street Preachers
Richey James Edwards.
“We just want him to give us a call.
We are genuinely worried.
He has never disappeared like this before.” - Nicky Wire.

Hoping to launch here The Manic Street Preachers Never-ending Song Polls next month. Literally every #Manics track against the other, one poll at a time. We hope to see you there and happy to take part.
Keep looping in people who don't know we are here yet, and are fans of #Manics and #polls!
#Manics fans, assemble! We’re aiming to rank their entire discography — album cuts, hits, B sides, bonus tracks, stand-alones, every-studio-thing. Be around to add your vote and help shape the (unofficial but) definitive list.
You don't have to follow to take part, but it would be nice!
Album spotlight: Everything Must Go. "The Kremlin of MSP albums - an enduring monument, ever-present in every era, impervious to regime change." (c) The Quietus
A fan favourite - how will its tracks fare in a full round robin?
Why not share this with a #Manics fan who doesn't know about us yet?
Album spotlight: "The Holy Bible". 13 tracks. Each one will face every other track in the #Manics entire studio based discography. Will it be rivalled?

When we do launch properly, there will be thousands of matchups. This isn’t a knockout — it’s a marathon where every #Manics song counts, and every one of your votes count!
So we got a 49% hit rate on our poll, which is pretty high all things considered; thanks to all who joined in! We'll keep reaching out & connecting with as many as we can find who want to be part of this! All good things... take time, so stick with us as we (hopefully) grow this #Manics community!
We had Lifeblood on tonight, an album that I didn't really connect with when it came out, but love now. This is a particular favourite #manics #lifeblood

The plan will be to have all polls run live for 2 days from when they launch - so you have until Tuesday morning to show us what you've got with our tester set down this morning! #Manics #Choices
Once suggested to James he should have a go at a bit of Garage on his next album. He was amused at least

Whether you discovered the #Manics in the 90s or last week, this place is for you. We’re aiming to rank every track, and your vote helps place them! Follow so you don't miss out!

Lifeblood album - Japanese edition. 2004.
Loved the days when an import album finally arrived in the mail.
