So? In 2000, All Saints' Pure Shores spent most of the year as the No1 selling single of the year, only to be pipped - on New Year's Eve - by Bob The Builder.

Just out of curiosity - anybody got any idea when their replacement in the SFL will be decided? Never mind - I found it (July 3rd).

They had no chance of qualifying anyway - they've got 0 points, whereas Sweden and Russia both have three (and one of them's going to have *at least* four at about 9.30pm_.

I hope so.

How the hell was Make Luv the most played song in 2003? It was c**p, and only made No1 'cos it was used in a deodorant commercial.

"How will history remember G W Bush Jr?" Simple - A thick as pigsh!t president who illegally invaded Iraq to find WMD that never existed.

I love how people were complaining that they were breaking up characters and given them their own storylines. Which, iirc, is what they had done in Series 1. (Mind you, wtf were they thinking with Hiro?)

Don't worry - it's not that great.

That's it - I'm not doing a sweepstake in 2010 (the Czech Republic - my team in this one - are out, and Italy - my team at work - will be out tomorrow if the Netherlands lose). Edit - Damn it, Jenny beat my team. (And she's going to Glastonbury as well. :()

They've only just come out - hence why they're all on a Saturday. (It's likely that the games will all be played on the same day on just wo occasions - Boxing Day (December 26th) and May 24th.)

Romania ftw tomorrow!

It would look bad if two countries that would have got 0 if it wasn't for the non-qualifying countries (Germany and the United Kingdom) enter and those that would have finished with either 30 (France) or 31 (Spain) didn't, would it not?

It was a ripoff, but not of an Abba song - it was a ripoff of a Lisa Del Bo song. In 2003, the EBU ruled that Sweden 2001 was a plagarised version of Belgium 1996 (and this only happened when the writers of the Belgian song threatened to sue the writers of the Swedish song).

Especially considering Jeff Lynne was the guy from ELO. And looks like I was wrong about Mint Royale dropping down the chart quicker than McFly did last year.

Nice cover. I betcha the Americans have it for whatever number they're up to. (Also, how the f*** can there already be a review of it on Amazon when we don't even have a tracklisting?) Edit - Why does it have a July 7th release date, when WH Smith, Tesco, Play and Woolworths all say July 21st?

Second best name of a newspaper reporter. The best one, however, is "Daily Mail Reporter".

Hopefully, I've misread this, 'cos there is no WAY that Umbrella has outsold Candle In The Wind 97 (4.8 million copies).

Would this also include West Virginia? (I'd love to see if there's one with Connecticut, Rhode Island or Maryland in their title.)

I get it a lot. (And I doubt it has anything to with me doing student radio in my uni days.)

And the Radio Times said that it "gave too much away". Maybe I'm not thinking latterly (I know it's misspelt, but I have no idea about how to spell it)?

Don't even get me started on Sky Broadband - I had them for a short while, and they were faqing awful (there was a while when, if I was downloading something, I couldn't do ANYTHING else!). So I went back to Virgin Broadband, and have no complaints whatsoever about them.
