Usually I put up with Top of the Pops on this one day of the year, but this year The Simpsons were back to back for about 12 hours over Channel 4 and Sky Onc so there was a reason to ignore it more than ever.
Apparently (damn my straying eyes on the BBC News page) "Westlife" are 'number 1' again (as if that's a sign of popularity). On Tuesday I was in my local record store (they're independent AND they have vinyls :D) and noticed two singles displayed at the counter - "Westlife" and that JCB song by Nizboli* or something like that (Nothing to do with the Russian Nazbols [Nationalist Bolsheviks - ie, Nazis] or is it?).
I'd say the "popularity" of "Westlife" was more to do with its £1.99 price, compared to the other singles at £2.99. As I said, obviously more popular because it's good music - in the way that 'The Sun' (I don't fucking love it) is a good newspaper because it's 10p -_-
And you phillistines still didn't buy Dazzle Ships! Nor did you buy the greatest piece of sonic art this year - Franz Ferdinand's 'Walk Away' - Number fucking 13?
