Ah, I was looking at lyrics to an OK Go song
still don't know it

well it's the current UK number 1 single
it's everywhere in the clubs and on the radio and it's incredibly irritating.

So if you've managed to miss it thus far, for fuck's sake don't go looking for it.

I've genuinely never heard of it either.
Mind you, I couldn't name a number one single this side of...I assume Susan Boyle has had one? So probably that.

An old school friend of mine has a band going in Leicester..
..and is trying to get an Xmas No1 ahead of whoever wins the X-Factor this year. It's probably the only time of year I can't avoid knowing what the No1 single is.

I wouldn't mind a few more decent Xmas singles instead of having to listen to the same compilation CD I bought about 12 years ago. Maybe their time has passed.

Oh yeah, actually that Matt bloke did that Biffy Clyro thing last Christmas didn't he?
I assume that made number 1, so that would be the last one I know.

I have a great time..
..telling Biffy Clyro fans (my eldest son included) that the Cardle version sounds 'just the same as the original, I don't know what you're complaining about'

Your school friend is not going to be Christmas #1
You can avoid knowing what it is, you are not trying hard enough.

Destroy your Christmas compilation CD, it is the only sensible option.

I hope this helps.

You're right, he's not
I'll try harder

I will not. It is a 2CD one and we lost CD1 a few years ago so I ORDERED ANOTHER ONE!!! (Magic of Christmas™)

They still have "number 1 singles" do they?

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Wed 5 Oct 2011, 10:11, Reply)

Apparently yeah
I thought buying singles had gone out with the inception of the internet, so god knows what they're compiling it all from. Piracy, I guess.

Doesn't it include radio play, downloads and CD's these days?
I find it odd that the charts include radio play though, but what do I know?
( scarpe We Stole Bikes, Wed 5 Oct 2011, 10:14, Reply)

I stand corrected, it doesn't appear to count radio play after all.
I know the Billboard chart in the US does though.
