Never Be The Same Again

Egg on several people's faces this morning (mine included) as teh SINGLES CHART REVOLUTION OMG turns out to mean:

- A top ten re-entry for Snow Patrol!
- "Maneater" and The Kooks at the arse end of the Top 40! (much as you'd expect in the first chart of the year anyway!)
- JoJo's (excellent) "Too Little Too Late" "would not have been eligible for the charts until next week under the previous rules" - but in the BRAVE NEW WORLD she can enjoy a Top 22 hit!!!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6239415.stm for the full EYE-POPPING DETAILS. Including desperate threat at the end of an all-Beatles chart.

In other Top 40 news I am glad to see that Eric Prydz has stepped in to rake in the dough from sort out the confusion surrounding the 8 million bosh versions of Another Brick In The Wall.

The Prydz remix of ABITW is surely the least inspiring version of the lot. Though given his track record, that's hardly a surprise.

The pride with which he told the story of the record on the R1 Chart Show was truly sad to behold. Kudos then to JK and Joel (for first time ever) for taking the piss out of him with their 'Convoy' "remix".
