Chartfelch: Feel the top 75

Good day to you, my hearty chart-lubbers. This week for the first time in many, we find ourselves presented with a vibrantly active Top Ten, with six places being occupied by brand new entries! The most important news obviously being that summer festival anthem 'Axel F' from former prog-rock hero Crazy Frog has been dislodged to make way for the effortless stylings of dead rapper Tupac and his almost-dead posthumous buddy Elton John. Splendid. Other Top Ten entries include Missy Elliot at 7, 50 Cent at 10 and a good showing for mildly OK indie-rock scamps Hard-Fi at 9.

Not as much 'action' further down, with Stereophonics' 'Superman' putting in a caped appearance at 13 and Glastonbury-slot-missers The Subways giving 'Rock & Roll Queen' a jolly good bash to the number 22 slot.

In the more distant throes of stardom, we find Ladytron brushing the bristles of the beard of the Top 40 at 45, with Simple Plan pop-punking it large at 49. Ocean Colour Scene slowly begin to realise that Britpop finished a few years ago with 'This Day Should Last Forever' making 53, closely followed by Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel's re-issue of 'Make Me Smile' to coincide with their Glastonbury performance at number 55.

More slightly obscure entries at 59 for Be Your Own PET and Tom Vek's congestion-charge anthem 'C-C' at 60.

T'other day, oon the wayto DiS towers, I passed a VERY white boy with his top off and 'Thug Life' tattooed over his belly.

I am not even making this up.

Re: Chartfelch: Feel the top 75

I hope to christ you're not making it up, that's the funniest thing I've read today!



ps: was it Tim Westwood?

Re: Chartfelch: Feel the top 75

Nah, this guy looked about 17/18... properly wigga.
Had some mates with him though, so I had to bite my lip to stop from laughing out loud.
Seriously, it was comedy time a million.

Ocean Colour Scene!?

how did they become so irrelevant after releasing two* of britrock's best albums?

*three if you count the excellent b-sides, seasides and free rides

Re: Chartfelch: Feel the top 75

Once again, your legendary sense of humour doesn't let us down.

I went to Staines the other day and all I saw was white kids, wearing very large basketball gear and very small Adidas backpacks that were baby-pink in colour. Bizarre.

And no, don't ask why I went to Staines.

'am i the only person who thinks that subways song is a bit shite'

God, no. You certainly aren't. It's absolutely fucking rubbish. I hate the Subways.

Re: Chartfelch: Feel the top 75

They're absoloute pants, and the girl really can't sing.

Re: Chartfelch: Feel the top 75

But it's not really her voice that helped the Subways to get some press...
