The Weekly DiScussion: The Charts, or why we're obsessed with numbers
Every week, the kind folk of DrownedinSound.com (hi, that’s us) offer up a comprehensive overview of the latest pop charts. Hopefully you find it useful. Sometimes, though, I detect that, behind the bile, hate, sarcasm and ennui displayed by a certain M Diver, there’s not a lot of love for the top 40. So why are we still obsessed with the charts...»
Chart round-up: Massive coat? Check. Massive hit? Check!
He’s gone! Rocked from the top of the singles chart by those merry Leeds men, Kaiser Chiefs.

To number two. Which is so much more appropriate, really...»
Chart round-up: Really, who HASN'T heard Eyes Open yet?
Who’d have thought it? A good few weeks in and still ‘Grace Kelly’ is doing it for the people of Britain. Well, for the people of Britain who don’t like music, anyway...»
Chart round-up: Mika in double-penetration shocker!
It’s pop, kids, but not as we like it. And it’s all over the charts like a bowl of cold custard tipped from a tenth-floor window onto the frail frame of a passing OAP. Sticky and yellow and just not proper...»

Chart round-up: you do it to yourself, The Public, and that's why it really hurts...
He’s still there, the wicked little leprechaun of less-than-pretty pop poop: Mika, still mispronouncing ‘Kelly’ at the top of the UK singles chart. Really, The Public: what the flippin’ feck are you doing to yourselves...»
Chart round-up: ZZzzzZzzzZZzzZZzzz...
Some people count sheep, others take pills. Some have amazing sex ‘til they collapse in sticky pools of their own man or lady goo. Me, I fall asleep by thinking up different introductions to our weekly charts round-up. What a life...»
News just in: Kurt Cobain, Elliott Smith and more "foresaw Mika and took the only possible action"
Breaking news: DiS's resident medium, Derek Okra, has revealed that Kurt Cobain, Elliott Smith, Jeff Buckley and Jimi Hendrix each foresaw the arrival of current chart sensation Mika. Each experienced a vision of a ghostly face with bleeding ears prior to their deaths, and now Okra has told the DiS staff that the face belonged to the Beirut-born singer...»
Chart round-up: time to punch yourself in the face
Hello, Monday. How dare you creep up on me like this, particularly when I've just started beating my PS2 at Pro Evolution Soccer 6 on the hardest mode. A pox on your new week-based annoyances...»

Chart round-up: who is buying Mika singles, and can they stop, please?
Today, nothing is sure in the world of the singles chart. No longer will the winner of Reality Show X be guaranteed a number one with just three days’ sales behind ‘em, not now that some old song from 1845, or some other year before mp3s, can theoretically prevent Mickey Bland Eyes from claiming the top spot. Oh no sir: it’s all change at the top this year...»
