We're into week two of the national NME Chart, and there's a fair few movers and shakers. Calvin Harris shoots from third place to the top spot, while Julian Casablancas debuts at 16 with '11th Dimension' and Death Cab For Cutie are the highest new entry at 15 with 'Meet Me On The Equinox'. It's not such a good week for Miike Snow, who see both their tracks drop down the chart. Check out the full list below.

And as a quick reminder, the NME Chart is compiled of tracks from the NME Radio and NME TV playlists, and from NME magazine. Those are sent to the Official Charts Company who rank them in sales order according to physical and download sales. You can hear the chart revealed live on NME Radio every Monday morning from 10am to midday, see the full rundown here on NME.COM every Monday at high noon, and watch the videos on NME TV on Sky Channel 382 tomorrow and Wednesday at 9am and 6pm. Let us know who you think should be top...

Not convinced La Roux should be here, but the idea behind this chart is brilliant. Listenened to the Top 40 on Radio 1 last night in the car, what a pile of piffle. Still worth listening to for Reggie's amusing slip-up...

So many people say La Roux, Calvin Harris and Dizzee Rascal shouldn't be on the charts, but obviously lots of people like them so why..? I really like La Roux actually..
Richard [Visitor] //November 9 2009 at 17:16
Somebody make sure Weezer see the chart next week.
Jess [Visitor] //November 9 2009 at 18:19

Ewan [Visitor] //November 9 2009 at 18:20
yer but La Roux, Calvin Harris and Dizzee Rascal are a pile of £$%&^. thats why!
Egor [Visitor] //November 9 2009 at 21:38
I agree that the idea of the chart is brilliant. And I don't mind the songs by Dizzee or Calvin. I only hope the songs will not get stuck for a long time here like in the current Top 40.

you were layed on your back with the boy from the arab strap
Ralf [Visitor] //November 10 2009 at 11:41
I really do think that The Killers and Kings of Leon should be on the chart. An album charts would be cool too.
AKillersVictim [Visitor] //November 10 2009 at 16:51

dar [Visitor] //November 11 2009 at 09:28

camden [Visitor] //November 11 2009 at 09:55
cool, this should be replacing billboard and itunes chart, full of quality song and not shit music. Top 40 sucks!!!
aliceee ;3 [Visitor] //November 11 2009 at 18:55

@Jees - Hopefully falling off a cliff into a pit full of shit-covered spikes, never to be heard again.
