uptown girl is awful too has not business being billy joel’s top hit (unless piano man is still to come which in doubt)

There's Piano Man :magic:

oh thankfully we do have an actual good billy joel song finishing above uptown girl then

Billy back! :yahoo: Well wished Dan!

Somebody once said that Piano Man is about Billy Joel singing in a gay bar but not knowing he’s in a gay bar, and now I can’t hear anything else - the lyrics fit perfectly!

Also not that the other presenters were awful or anything but so much nicer listening with Mark Goodier who sounds like he’s actually loving it - and no skips so far either.

Well Goodier is a proper chart geek like us isn’t he haha

The last skip was Sandstorm! :( Hopefully no more skips to come now that we're this high up.

Great position for Come As You Are - SLTS has nearly double its Spotify streams so will likely be pretty high then

Also good to hear Come As You Are today, sure that won't be the last Nirvana song we hear in this countdown too!

I doubt Stranger Things is responsible for American Pie being in this chart, I don’t even remember it having featured in the show!

On another hot streak with Town Called Malice now!

Also I know Running Up That Hill is an exception but generally the songs on this countdown will have accrued their streams over a long period. Having been in a very recent show won’t have significantly affected anything - that’s not how streaming works.
