I'm not a big fan of gratuitous swearing, but swearing at Wheatus is never gratuitous.

52. Hoodie Allen - Show Me What You're Made Of

 

What is this? :blink:

Yay! At Wheatus back in the Top 40. :yahoo:

 

Also happy to see The Black Keys Fever back up to #48. Had the album land in my inbox today. :D

I don't even hate the Wheatus song, but REALLY, why reducing it by 40p increases its popularity so much is most odd to me (obv the reduction thing for new songs is a given why they do better, I'm not arguing with the principle, just this case study)

I do understand why really as it's obviously a pretty 'nostalgic' song for people and seeing it advertised in the 59p section is bound to make people think 'ooh I remember that song, I'll download that' more than a lot of other songs. Why people are so nostalgic about such a whiney and intolerable heap of shit (sorry gratuitous swearing again but it's REALLY justified in this case) is beyond me though.

It's a classic and will forever soundtrack my uni years for various reasons even though it's over a decade old, but I'm surprised that literally EVERY time it's reduced (which I'm pretty has been loads) it shoots to the top 40, do people really need THAT much of a memory jog? Especially as it plummets the moment it's back at normal price. A bit like the 59p version of Baz Luhrmann - Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)...

17. Michael Jackson "Love Never Felt So Good" (& 48)

 

Should be looking at a new peak and hopefully a decent few weeks T40, great lead single (though I'm not a fan of a second album following his death).

It's a great song, hoping the rest of the album will follow suit.

"Holding Onto Heaven" is a MUCH better song than the massive disappointment that is "Let Go For Tonight" but it is still no "Youth" (and never will be).

 

DIMINISHING returns.

Very few songs are as good as Youth, really.

Have you ever heard of Google or you tube

 

-_-

What is this mystical "Google" you speak of??

 

 

Anyway sad that Jamie xx has fallen off the T100, and Robyn too. :( The only thing to get remotely excited about is a re-entry at 89 for Sampha's "Too Much".

I thought google was just a tyrannical hate machine trying to destroy Buzzjack. oops.

Youth was completely killed by Debenhams for me. I used to hear it 200 times a week in full for about 5 months solid.

 

Maybe now I don't work there anymore I can go back to it at some point and not be reminded of darker times!

Did they at least throw the (glorious) orchestral version into the mix to spice it up a bit?

I agree about Teenage Dirtbag. It is probably my least favourite song of all time. Just a hideous whiny mess.

No. Tell me more about these exciting new features of the internet.

Yes they did at Xmas, it was the ONLY version they played for a good month and a half. Things become less gorgeous when you hear them eight times an hour.
