    Yep it should be, though whoever typed up the chart there had Duke Dumont on their mind.. for whatever reason. :D

    Just played it back twice and it's actually a better tune than the majority of the Top 20 !!
    Thanks for the link. :cool:

    It's Nick Grimshaw's song of the week, maybe he did it.

    Aha !! Mystery solved. :D
    Wonder how long it'll be before someone at R1 notices ??

    Don't tell Disclosure or Aluna George that their chart position has been compromised. ;)

    I was getting a lift the other day and I heard some of his show and it was absolutely terrible.

    The page has now been rectified, Disclosure ft. Aluna George have got their #5 back.
    Question now is will Duke Dumont properly make the Top 5 in the near future ??

    It's EP is already at number 51 on the itunes album as a pre-order and it's still not out until the end of March, so I think it could be quite a big early summer smash. :)

    With all the different versions on i-tunes combined & EP sales, it's Number 1:) Really good tune, I have downloaded it myself:cool:

    I've downloaded two mixes of 'Need U 100%'.
    It's how dance music SHOULD sound IMO.
    Has a touch of old skool House about it & it's the sort of tune Kevin Saunderson from Inner City would be making now if he was still producing. :cool:

    Deserves to be #1 despite the Ant & Dec song proceeds being diverted to 'charidee'.

    I noticed another error on this chart too: it says Let's Get Ready To Rumble is number one but it should be Swagger Jagger.

    There are often mistakes with the numbers. Recently it was showing the song at number one had moved down this week and new entries that have been on the chart for x amount of weeks previously.
