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.

Given that they're Blur fans, I'm not sure that bumping an old single to #1 just to show that they are The Lads is taking advantage of them, in any realistic sense.
