Basshunter, dear god :lol: I wonder how many are in from 2008 - the slowest most boring chart year everrrrr, I very nearly stopped listening to it by the end of the year I was so bored. It was one of the main reasons I ceased doing the chart commentary. Thank god it's livened up again now.

I know charts were much slower paced but it also seemed to be the year that filtered the crap from topping the charts. Had 2008 been like this year we would've had some right horrors topping the UK chart at the expense of some genuine popular songs that actually kept their hold at no. 1 in 2008. 'Don't Call This Love', 'The Shock Of The Lightning', 'When I Grow Up', etc...

This is very true actually, that was the only thing I liked - the songs that missed #1 that everyone expected to get there. I'd never heard an Oasis lead not go to the top! I honestly can't remember how that song goes at all now :lol: They became so formulaic from 2000 onwards releasing some awful rock thing first which gave them a fanbase #1, and then a genuinely good song second - Stop Crying Your Heart Out, The Importance Of Being Idle, even I'm Outta Time was better than The Shock of the Lightning.

 

But I prefer the current situation. True we have some terrible #1's now but they rarely sell well anyway and at least we're back to 7-9 new entries a week rather than 3-4 as it was at points in 2008, with every other song filtering down a place or two from the previous week :drama:
