Furthermore does anyone care?

Just listen to what you want regardless of what is deemed popular by a chart that doesn't fully reflect what people buy. I mean if stores like Asda and Woolworths that sell an homoganised version of what they perceive to be music that people want can contribute to the charts whilst some specialist shops don't it means nothing.

Out of the 10th - Robbie & Nicole - Somethin' stupid
Dido - All you want
Kosheen - Catch
Ian Van Dahl - Will I
Michael Jackson - Cry
Elton John - The train don't stop there anymore
Out on the 17th - Faithless - Tarantula

Plus George Harrison's single will be re-released, but no date has been confirmed yet, probablty on the 17th.

you mean "My sweet lord" I presume - heard it for first time in ages yesterday, this has to be the worst song George Harrison was involved with.

i dont know...its not that bad
hear Robbie and Nicole doing Something Stupid today, not a bad song, may even go and buy it! (so that wont get to number one, as every single i buy starts going down after i have a copy)

I dont believe it!You didnt seem to include any novelty,jokey,camp,or songs performed by daytime childrens tv personalities!Theres something at no 9 by the Tweenies,that kinda thing usually makes number 1.On that subject,think abnout this.
Bob the Builder has a hit or 3 under his belt,but would you agree that if Neil Morrisey released a single with his name instead of hiding inside a fat builder that it woulkd shift f*ck all copies?Makes you think!

It's okay because it covers an old song and goes quite slow which is good for Christmas.

No classic mind.

The way it's looking is that Robbie and Nicole is going to be number 1 for xmas, but anything at number 1 is better than having a song done for children's program. ie Bob The Builder or The Tweenies.

When you say Gorden Haskell is currently at no. 2 I assume you mean No. 2 in Midweek Charts. If that is the case, he's not actually at no. 2 in the charts,he's no. 2 in the midweek sales charts. Furthermore, he's not, he's at no. 3.

Infact here are the week's midweek charts, if you like to be surprised on sunday afternoons, then TURN AWAY NOW






01. Robbie Williams & Nicole Kidman – Something Stupid
02. Daniel Bedingfield – Gotta Get Thru This
03. Gordon Haskell – How Wonderful You Are
04. Sophie Ellis-Bextor – Murder On The Dancefloor
05. Stereophonics – Handbags & Gladrags
06. S Club 7 – Have You Ever
07. Samantha Mumba – Lately
08. Tweenies – I Believe In Christmas
09. Hermes House Band – Country Roads
10. Ian Van Dahl – Will I?
16. DJ Otzi – Hey Baby
27. Faithless – Tarantula
28. David Gray – Say Hello, Wave Goodbye
29. DJ Otzi – Do Wah Diddy
32. Mariah Carey – Never Too Far/Don’t Stop
44. TJ Davis – Wonderful Life
46. Warp Brothers – Blast The Speakers
52. Boney M - Daddy Cool
54. DJ Otzi – X-Mas Time

Well, usually Page 451 on Channel 4 teletext on Fridays gives Midweek sales, as does www.dvdfever.co.uk, which is where I got this batch from. www.burnitblue.com and www.mtv.co.uk usually give midweek sales too.

Sorry for the random bump I just found reading through this one interesting! I loved Samantha Mumba.
