It's no wonder Metallica can't get in the top 40 singles any more, is it?
Maybe the so-called Official Charts Company will admit that when an artist has 14 of the top 15 singles, then something has gone badly wrong with the bloody thing?!
Imagine if Top of The Pops was still being broadcast.
Official Singles Chart R.I.P.. It's a bloody farce nowasays.
Anything is called a single. Ed Sheeran occupies 16 of the Top 19 tracks.
Time the OCC woke up to how the charts should be compiled.
By the way did anyone listen to the chart show today on Radio 1. Did they play over an hour of Ed Sheeran songs.
I wonder if him and Taylor Swift were only ever just mates or if he actually has smashed it, to paraphrase Richard Keys.
its because of streaming services like spotify. must admit i havent bought a cd in about 2 years cos of streaming. Even though takes over 125 streams = 1 bought single which shows you how many streaming
do they actually sell CD singles anymore ?
i know they wanted 22£ in HMV for his album on bloody Vinyl
All i can say least it was someone talented like Sheeran and NOT FUCKING BIEBER or ONE DIRECTION !!!
Galway Girl reminds me a bit of Hazel Eyes, by the Darkness.
Much as Katy Perry's Chained to the Rhythm seems to owe a fair bit to Sia's Cheap Thrills.
the story of galway girl is about his grandparents. his Gran a Irish catholic from Galway and his grandad is northern irish protostant.
Clean Bandit and Zara Larsson are number one this week.
That's a different kind of fix.
He's #1 again, thanks to a judicious use of Beyoncé in a new version of the same song that's been available for months, plus another version also coming out.
But with SEVENTEEN Christmas oldies in the top 40, I think Ed is the lesser of 2 evils really.
