It's quite frightening but also pretty interesting: the power of suggestion coupled with the immediacy of technology. In the future the Christmas number one might not be the cunningly crafted ballad released as single but what ever plays over the credits of the big film that everyone in the country watches after Christmas dinner. Likewise whatever plays over the montage they use after the World Cup final. Record pluggers will start trying to nobble TV production assistants rather than Radio 1 DJs.
