Why don't we have a little fun with the charts.....

[The Hypno-Toad]

For a long time I had no interest in the charts but now with downloads added in they've started to become a lot more fun.

http://www.theofficialcharts.com/top40_singles.php

There are always some surprising songs hanging around the lower reaches...

Journey - Don't Stop Believing. This has been in there for at least the last month. Its there because it rocks.

Saturdays - Just Can't Get Enough. What? Why?

Bill Withers - Ain't No Sunshine. Cool song. Anyone know why it might be back in the top 100?

U2 - With Or Without You. Again anyone know why its back in the 100?

So here's my plan. Lets all buy one 'PH song' and see if we can get into the top 100 if not the top 40. Now my thoughts would be this;

1.) We need a song we can blame on someone else, in that its just been on TV.

2.) We need a cool summer song.

3.) We need a song we can all dance to when Winky is sacked next week.

May I nominate;

Its summery, its the music to the new Lynx advert so it has an excuse & I for one will be cranking it up when that Scots git is tin tacked so I can dance around the flat.

The charts are severely fd up.

Originally you had to release it on a format such as CD, Cassette or Vinyl for it to enter the official chart.

Since downloads have become more popular, it was deemed that they should also be included (but still require the physical CD single or Cassette formats to be released).

They then removed that clause so virtually anything that is downloaded can go straight into the charts.

My suggestion - Sweet Cherry Pie

Just had a look at the Top 40 and I haven't heard one song on there and only know a handfull of the artists.

Sounds like fun.

U2 - With Or Without You. Again anyone know why its back in the 100?

Sung by people on Britain's Got Talent I think!

And the Trashmen were in the chart recently, due to Family Guy!

How about Johnny Nash - I can see Clearly

Cool song, and great for the summer.

It would also fit 99% of radio station playlists if it ended up back in the charts. (I'm not including digital stations in this!)

How much fun would it be if the power of PH put a track onto the musical wallpaper that is commercial radio?
