Ch-check out the CHARTS

The singles chart this week is a load of JOBBIES.

The new entry at 75 is a song called 'Blow Your Horny Horns' while the No. 1 is Mario Winans, which means - SHOCK HORROR - Peter Andre's legendary but very shit 'Insania' didn't quite make it. In fact, it's only No. 3.

Faithless are 7 with 'Mass Destruction'. It's a song, they say, about how weapons of mass destruction aren't dangerous - it's the people who control them who are dangerous. While it's a more intelligent comment than Black Eyed Peas' simpering 'Where Is The Love?', this is still quite frankly bollocks, as I for one certainly wouldn't want any of these weapons sitting under my bed.

Beastie Boys scrape the artistic barrel with 'Ch-check It Out' at 8, and The Worst Baggy Band Ever AKA The Farm kick off (ho ho) at 10 with the ghastly 'All Together Now 2004' at 10.

Pete Waterman's excellently named POP! are at 14. One below them is Emma Bunton, whose presence in the chart alone will anger Peter Pinsent. Then there's Irish boyband D-Side meeting the dumper at 21, Evanesence can only make it to 24 with 'Everybody's Fool', and Stacie Orrico is at 34. The Token Indie Band in the Top 40 this week is Thirteen Senses, who go in at 38.

The complete fucking crap and annoyingly named Twen2y 4 Sev7n fail to have A Hit at 42, as do The Datsuns whose Amazing Comeback gets 'Blacken My Thumb' to 48. Another pointless re-release championed by that pikey woman from The Sun is 'Release Me' by Engerbert Humperdinck, which is at 51.

Then there's The Duke Spirit at 55. Hurrah.

Then in ever increasing numbers, ergo increasingly lower positions in the Top 75 is the rest of the rock stuff: New Found Glory, My Red Cell, Story Of The Year, and Yellowcard.

Bye then.

That's just depressing. And I love the Datsuns song too.

Peter Pinsent turns up here as well?

Re: Ch-check out the CHARTS

Alas no.
I reserve the right to mention someone/somthing obscure in my stories once in a while. ;-)

Faithless were ace on Joolz, and WMD sounded brilliant live, proper energetic rocking drum'n'bass.. but I haven't heard the record. Also Graham Coxon needs to know that he got on Joolz by virtue of being in Blur, and at least make some effort to project like a frontman rather than stare at his feet. In the light of the various young bands all working their asses off to perform well on the show, he shouldn't show such contempt for the audience.

Re: Ch-check out the CHARTS

staring at your feet is a legitimate form of frontmanship!

Re: Ch-check out the CHARTS

or frontwomanship.

Was there any need for that horrible picture of Peter Andre? I nearly sicked up my lunch.

Re: Ch-check out the CHARTS

Ah, I would assume you're an ex-Mailbox person then? ;-)

I've been looking for a good screensaver for ages.

Ch-check out the CHARTS

The Mummy is right. Peter looks HORRIBLE in that pic. Ewwww! Not that he looks all that good in ANY pic mind...

Ch-check out the CHARTS

yay! charts!

ooo...the datsuns only 48?! blacken my thumb is good, but harmonic generator is way better. i wonder how high that got in the charts....
can you believe the nme only gave the datsuns a 4 for their new album? im gonna buy it anyway to rebel against the nme. if it will make any difference, i don't know, but i'm gonna buy it anyway.

Re: Ch-check out the CHARTS

I wanted to gross you out.

Ch-check out the CHARTS

:o you didnt mention hoobastank at no.12 with "the reason"

as average as that song is, it beat emma bunton! And its hoobastank!

Re: Ch-check out the CHARTS

Well you succeeded.

Re: Ch-check out the CHARTS

Oh yeah.

HoobaSTINK, more like.

Re: Ch-check out the CHARTS

having watched Coxon last night I have to agree. Dull as shite.

Especially after watching the Charlatans the night before. I'm going to get the Charlatans to explain the words 'showmanship' and 'value for money' and possibly 'best live band ever' to Coxon.

Not sure about the last one though as that may be Sleater-Kinney. Mind you they can do the explaining if the Charlatans are too busy.

Oh and the Datuns are only saved from being the worsy band ever because Jet, somehow, exist.

It's great to be alive in 1995.

Re: Ch-check out the CHARTS

sorry. yeah. respect to the sisters and all that

Does anyone think Pete Waterman's new band 'POP!' are gonna last more than a couple of weeks?

Re: Ch-check out the CHARTS

I hope so. I hope they last long enough to make an acid-fried freakout triple concept album about the entire history of music, from cavemen up. And I hope they call it "Cheggers Plays".

Hang on a minute, I've just noticed something. The Farm at no. 10??? Who the fuck's been buying that steaming pile of turd? It was a good song the first time around, fairly poor when Everton used it in 95 (although at least they bothered to change the words), but this one's just the old song with some commentary and a bit of a choir. Wow. Must have spent hours on that.

Then again, I shouldn't be surprised considering that Franky's been number 1 for so long, with the same song that was at number 1 for the previous 3 weeks. What the hell is wrong with the Great British single-buying public. Are they just idiots or is there something deeper than that going on?

Re: Ch-check out the CHARTS

They're just idiots Martbean.

Re: Ch-check out the CHARTS

Peter fucking pinsent, good god, he gets about doesn't he? i'm familiar with the cunt from (sadly enough) the channel 4 music teletext thingy.

Depressingly small and annoying world

Re: Ch-check out the CHARTS

Don't worry - he's not on DiS, as he doesn't have access to a computer!

Re: Ch-check out the CHARTS

to be honest, the charts now scare me. i mean. peter andre at number 3? who the hell buys this shit? the record company? the only reason peter andre's got anywhere is because of a stupid tv show and now everyone acts like he's a big thing. it makes me sick.
