Do you mean "student anthems" or do you mean music that actually gets played at students unions, in my experience they're entirely different apart from that 2004-2007 period when it would've been all the Fratellis and Razorlight and Bloc Party and what have you. Only Kings of Leon, Mumford & Sons and yer sub-MGMTs have really done much since then.
The last time the charts felt this disconnected from guitar music was around 1999-2001, which was when I was a student. And the non-cheese nights at my union were playing chart 2-step, eurotrance and the occasional US RnB or hip-hop crossover. My guess would be that this year's student anthems are Katy On A Mission, Pass Out, the two Roll Deep number ones, some of the Magnetic Man stuff and Kanye/Gaga/Black Eyed Peas.

I forgot about Florence and the Machine. I think I've blotted last year's fashionable women things out of my mind.

The first top 10 looks like it's probably accurate. The one featuring Leftfield and New Order and the Roses/Mondays is patently written by someone who is in his 30s, at Manchester University, or both.

i've been around student union nights embarrassingly recently and i'm so confused by the prevailing popularity of the mid-90s. vengaboys and other such things i can just about get my head around, somehow, but why are these 18-year-olds cheering when ocean colour scene come on?

Biffy Clyro's "Mountains" is so popular, which seems bizarre to me. The chorus makes me think of a Playdays dance routine.
