Just watched this weeks, because RHCP and The Calling were on. Something annoys me. That Nelly song is still top. Right, here's something I don't get. Fair enough, less famous rock stuff doesn't get No 1, but The Zephyr Song and Adrienne were mainstream enough. I saw ads in HMV for ages for those two singles. And for Idlewild's Live In A Hiding Place, and that didn't even get in the Top 20.

The Ketchup Song, whatever that is, was No 4. Stupid stupid.

In other news, Robert Carlyle is in the Oasis vid. Being small then larger. It made me laugh.

I saw about 5 seconds of TOTP today. Saw some bloke poncing about with a microphone doing dance routines and about 10 backing dancer people and switched over. Bah.

I've never had faith in the english charts. The amount of songs that have done crap in the charts over the past few years is criminal really, here's a few I can think off the top of my head...

Black Rebel - Whatever Happened to My Rock N Roll -- This is such a brilliant, rocky song but I don't think it got in the top 40.

Oasis - Live Forever -- Now I may be wrong about this position but I think it only got to 13 or something, but it's arguably one of the best songs of our generation.

Strokes - Someday -- Think this got to about 25, when no doubt some poppy crap from Popstars was number one.

Athlete - You've Got The Style -- Got to number 37, why? I know they're not that well known yet but this song is just brilliant.

The list just goes on.

The British people are stupid. They seem to love the likes of Gareth Gates and Will Young, the scary thing is, I can't ever see these idiots not being popular.

It's been said for years

Chart for the pop crap

Chart for decent stuff

I guess that's your opinion. I can't see why everyone likes it, I think it's a heap of crap, that's just me though.

Personally I have no idea what song you're talking about... I practically never listen to the radio anymore, and I don't think I've ever watched a TOTP the whole way through.

On another note, the advert for that Manic Street Preachers best of album thing made me want to get it...

I stay well away from TOTP, it's rare they put a decent band up there, instead concentrating on all those talantless 'popstars' winners. Well it called top of the POPS, and pop music is one type of music I really hate.
