Analysis
  • Big fat SCORE!! for Calvin Harris hitting top 10. A quick 80s quiz revealed he knows nothing about the 80s (NJ - 2/4, CH - 1/4), Calvin Harris doesn't wear Calvin Klein's a further question revealed.
  • Le Grand ft somegenericsinger continues to bore me silly. Though it does have better lyrics than 'Detroit. Not that that's a hard thing to do.
  • Nothing much to say about JT except that its not as good as My Love or Sexyback.
  • Mika still clinging on to life in the top 10.
  • The Kaisers still in the top 10 but no doubt satisfied with their number 1.
  • Unbefuckinglievable. I like the song but how the hell have they stayed at number 5 for this long?
  • A FALLER!! Take That drop off the top after a decent stay.
  • First Comic Relief single to enter the chart this year. The original somehow managed to re-enter at #37.
  • A sublime slice of pop lovliness stays at 2 and what some have called musical blasphemy smashes in at number 1. Personally I quite like it.
