As overwhelmingly male as ever, I see.

The amount of hate online for the likes of Gerry Cinnamon, Sam Fender etc., being on the charts That’s why I hate the ‘indie’ scene - full of elitists who think you should only listen to certain acts for the rest of your life and god forbid anyone new comes along.

OP updated.
Sam Fender surprisingly gets as high as #10 to be the highest new song and Queen remain #1 with BoRap.

Great to see Sam so high - I know Radio X hammer his music but obviously the public like it too as they have voted.
