Kelly Rowland should be No.1.

Ok well first of all I hate this song but I'll tell you why it's number one. The word chav has been used already and it's exactly that. If you have the misfortune to live in the north east like I do then there's loads of kids that play songs through there mobile phone on the metro. This song is everything to them and their crap lives. I might sound middle class from this post but hey I am 
I like a fair bit of music that's probably considered chavvy-but even I can't figure out what is so special about this. 
What's worse is it's not outright terrible but a plain average by numbers dance track. Shouldn't really be any higher than 20 in the charts, and that's being generous at best.

Its also the same shitty lyrics repeated over and over again.
I mean a ten year old could have written them.

I didnt mind it at start, But hearing it over and over again, Especially in the common room at school, I am actually hating it.. Though that Swedish version is funny
I just find it :
1) boring - as has been said, what is so special about it? It reminds me of all the hype over that equally chav tastic "pretty green eyes" by ultrabeat a few years ago - some europop git singing about three lines throughout the whole song. It's one of those songs that people who drink themselves into a stupor on awful cheap imitations of smirnoff ice in nightclubs on a 2 for 1 deal who will dance to anything as they're so drunk and can't think like.
2) depressing - it's in a minor key and all that "now you're gone, I miss you" business is just what people who are single just before valentine's day really DON'T need. My poor mate was driven to tears the other night when this came on, I kid you not. Admittedly she was a bit drunk but it proves my point - the song is just depressing!
3) it is, as has been said, dated. The europop dance sound to me just sounds tacky and a bad reminder of the 90s. I remember getting asked to play stuff like ultrabeat's "pretty green eyes" around 2003 which was equally as dire by pikey types wearing kappa tracksuits from about 10 years ago and some stained hoodie at wedding parties looking like the poor relation and thinking "yep, these are the sort who still listen to this rubbish."
I think most of us happily or in my case grudgingly did the euro dance thing with all those awful acts in the early - mid 90s. Apart from kids who weren't there at that time, I think most people my age (23 and above) have long grown up and out of it now.
Sadly folks, I think Adele's 'chasing pavements' will go down as being another of those good no 2 hits that got stuck behind a truly awful no 1 - just like:
T. Rex's 'Solid Gold easy action' (stuck behind Jimmy Osmond's 'long haired lover from liverpool'
)
Ultravox's 'Vienna' (stuck behind Joe Dolce - shaddap you face - yep, need I say more!) Heck, the Adele stuck behind the Basshunter is the modern day equivalent! Homegrown talent stuck behind some faceless git from the continent.
DNA & Suzanne Vega's 'Tom's diner' which basically summed up 1990 music for a lot of people - it was a great club track and was kept off by Bombalurina's 'itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini.' NICE!
James - Sit Down (kept off by Chesney Hawkes' 'The one and only' -)

Chasing Pavements is awful and even though I hate that Basshunter song, I am glad he kept the critic's fav off the top spot.

totally agree, over-rated and over hyped.
as for ultrabeat - pretty green eyes, yes it was shit, get the original (happy hardcore late 90's) thats a much better dance track.
basshunter is for 12 year olds that love getting pissed with a whiff of fizzy coke.
