Yes! Can't believe Bassline Junkie is doing so well, but I'm really happy - are Little Mix still #20 (I'm on my phone)?

 

They moved up a place to #19. Looking like it might miss the Top 10. :(

Dizzee in the top 10!?!? :o :o I can't believe it. This will probably be his biggest chart hit since Shout and Dirtee Disco in 2010!

Go Dizzee ! So happy it's top 10 ! :cheer:

7. I Knew You Were Trouble. - Taylor Swift

 

Drinking From the Bottle too. I know the lyrics aren't exactly "bubblegum", but the instrumental sounds like it could be from a Kylie Minogue song or something imo.

7. I Knew You Were Trouble. - Taylor Swift

 

That isn't bubblegum pop!

 

And just FYI.. I happen to live next door to a family who have a 17 year old 'chavvy' son.

They also just so happen to have left him home alone last night and he, and around 10 other 'chavvy' friends, were playing deafeningly loud music until 3am.

Included in their 'playlist'? Let's have a look.. 'Thrift Shop, 'Get Up (Rattle)', 'Scream & Shout', 'Drinking from the Bottle', 'I Knew You Were Trouble', 'Bassline Junkie'..

 

So forgive me for thinking that chavs listen to the majority of these songs!

I've hardly seen any chavs in years and years anyway tbh. They disappeard in the mid/late-00s a year or two after the emo craze died off.

 

And they listened to mainly underground European techno music.

 

You MUST be joking re: 'Can I Have It Like That?'. But no, the only time she got close was when 'The Sweet Escape' got to #2.

 

The Sweet Escape is awesome. :cry: I wish Wind it Up got to #1 as well.

 

Can I Have It Like That? is awesome! :o The music video is awesome too.

 

DRUMS "My name is Skate-board P" TRUMPETS "da da daaaaaaaa" :music:

 

:wub:

Ooh it seems Marina & The Diamonds' 'How To Be A Heartbreaker' is being released tomorrow! :o Hopefully it can somehow make top 40 but I doubt it. :(

This release has been such a mess - it could possibly do something, but it should've been released months ago, when it actually had some TV airplay. :(

Yeah i really do hope it makes the top 400, but i too am doubtful :cry:

 

And like a broken record, she should have just released Lies...

Can't believe we've got to February and £1 Fish Man is still lingering around the top 100, surely the novelty should have died off as soon as Xmas week finished :lol: Surprised to see Place Your Hands by Reef in the top 100 too, I know it's become one of those 'indie club anthems' a la Sex On Fire/Mr Brightside/Take Me Out etc...but I've never seen it this high on iTunes!

So one person is how the rest of the country who could be classified as "chavs" behave?! You worry me with what you say. :huh:

 

And besides, chav is strictly a 00s term, no one ever uses that word anymore.

 

'Bassline Junkie' is just noise and Dizzee doesn't even rap anymore. It's more shouting. :( It's going to get a big top 10 boost, isn't it?

 

Little Mix at #19 and #121 :D (I think the last time I checked - yesterday - the second version was outside the top 200.)

So one person is how the rest of the country who could be classified as "chavs" behave?! You worry me with what you say. :huh:

lol. At the start of senior school we used to call them "kevs". And then I remember in an English lesson at school, our teacher showed us this Newspaper article where every year they choose a "word of the year", and we were looking back through the past ones and discussing them, and then the one for the current year (I think 2004 cos I was in year 8) was "chav", and none of us had ever heard the word at the time. :lol: But then about 6 months later we'd all replaced "kev" with "chav". But if the newspaper chose it as "word of the year", it must've been pretty commonly used in most other places, it was probably just our area where we called them kevs instead.

 

Little bit of 00's slang history for everybody. :coffee:

 

But seriously, I haven't seen anybody wear a burberry cap since about 2007 for example. They've practically gone extinct, but nobody in their right mind would wear chav clothes anymore because they'd just get ridiculed.

It's not too shouty. It's hardly like London Bridge by Fergie. :lol:

Don't worry yourself mate!

With Thrift Shop at #1 now, and talking about London Bridge, it makes me think, how many big hits in recent years have had brass instruments in them?

 

A few I can think of off the top of my head:

 

Thrift Shop

London Bridge

Feel the Love

Alors on Danse

4 Minutes

Live Your Life

Let Me Think About It

Infinity 2008

Destination Calabria

Hotel Room Service

Which just proves that Coventry is stuck way in the past. -_- I see multiple chavs daily and yes, they do get ridiculed. :P

 

Thrift Shop is shitting on everything else! :dance: Glad to see the domination has begun.

To be honest, I think that 2013 has got off to a pretty poor start music-wise. The majority of the YTD top 10 comprises of big hits from 2012 (which I suppose could only be expected), but I can only see Thrift Shop so far going on to becoming 'classic', and even that was released last year. Every week just seems to have been dead as far as new releases have been concerned. Even the shocking OA/OS releases (JT, David Bowie) have all fallen away within the week.

I think (and hope) Thrift Shop should be a certain for #1 next week, with a potential climb to #2 tomorrow!? :cheer:
