So that explains why commercial radio has become unlistenable. I figured that Radio 2 did that on weekends, but it sounds so real to me. I really imagine that the presenter is listening to the song. Alan Titchmarsh, Malcolm Laycock, and David Jacobs particularly do this well. (This has got to be the first mention of Malcolm Laycock on buzzjack!)

No ... I want to be surprised when I go into the thread and see the updates. I don't want to see the positions in the subtitle. Does the subtitle really need to include the positions? Or just include the major risers and leave out the positions. I even try not to look at the subtitle, but that's impossible.

I'm still receiving this and it's now been 6 weeks. I'm not complaining as I enjoy reading the articles and finding the mistakes in the charts and release schedules. But I'm concerned there was fine print I didn't read and pretty soon I'll get a bill for a huge amount of pounds. Anyone know what is happening?

Could Calvin Harris sell over 100,000 this week? I think it's possible given what he sold in 3 days. He will eventually pass both of the gaga songs in the year totals. That will be one of the greatest moments of 2009!

Her past two weeks at #1 have been more than luck. I call it cheating. The OCC should have disqualified those 29p sales, just as they used to disqualify when physical singles included freebies. I demand the last two weeks be retracted and republished and the official #1 be given to the Noisettes who deserved it fair and square! Maybe it's time for the charts to be based on sales proceeds and not units sold. Great to see Calvin Harris with a gigantic lead! Has there ever been a lead like that? I hope he maintains it for a proper #1 on Sunday.

I saw the performance on American Idol on Wednesday and wasn't impressed. Just an inferior version of a Madonna dance routine. I'd much rather have the Noisettes be #1 on this chart and the official chart.

Agreed, but I can't decide between this, Embers, and Don't Upset The Rhythm. They are all the top tracks of 2009 so far.

I love this song -- especially the version that Radio 1 plays and not the heavy bass one on The Saturdays website. Is the Radio 1 version on the CD single and the reissued album? I live in the US and can't download most UK releases. I only want to order the CD is it contains the Radio 1 version.

The Last Shadow Puppets album is so good you really need to hear it in its entirety. Since Fluorescent Adolescent was my favourite on the AM album, I prefer the mellow songs. So here are some TLSP recommendations broken down by high energy vs tender. High energy: The Age of the Understatement Standing Next To Me Only The Truth In My Room Tender: My Mistakes Were Made For You (one of the best songs of the 2000s) The Meeting Place Time Has Come Again Black Plant And ... The Last Shadow Puppets concert in Leeds was the second best concert I've seen and I've had over 30 years of concert-going experience as well!

If you loved Favourite Worst Nightmare, you need to get The Age of the Understatement by The Last Shadow Puppets. Now that should have been Album of the Year at the Grammys.
