Ah September. The sun is back (Back! BACK!) in earnest and we can look ahead to the Autumn release schedule after a somewhat disappointing Summer in terms of chart-friendly bangers and anthems (sure threre's been a few but look at the leaderboard below and you'll notice the dearth so far). Anyway, time to review August's collection of top 40 hits:

I can't decide if that Peter Paul & Mary (or whoever) thing is great or appalling. You can't beat a bit of whistling. And the track reminds me more than a bit of The Brady Bunch Kids, which is also good. (The bloke and the girl both sing in tune to about the same extent as The Brady Bunch did too.)

I've ticked it for now.
