True, I guess the whole idea is to be 'alternative' but it makes you question what the significance of being #1 is. (I was thinking more about this particular single!)

I was questioning the significance of being #1 on it though, does it mean anything more than just some music blogs talking about it? It doesn't seem like the public have any influence on it at all?

Well not really But I guess if the public weren't interested in it - the music blogs wouldn't write about it. It's a popularity contest (which is what all charts are anyway!)

It's a popularity contest (which is what all charts are anyway!) It is a popularity contest, except only decided by 59 sources. Which isn't very much at all.

'British Bombs' is great as well (can see it getting pretty firmly stuck in my head, almost sounds like a George Ezra song), and 'Fuck It I Love You' but that's hardly 'alternative' xx Very disappointed by the Mura Masa/Clairo song, I thought that sounded like a potentially great collaboration but it sounded pretty generic.
