Mint Royale are at number one, and dudes appear to be buying individual tracks off the new Radiohead Greatest Hits...

The charts really are uninspiring these days! Botherd to all of those.

(NB why does THIS appear to be Boringhead's most popular track? 'Street Spirit' is much much better and I would have ticked that.)

Uninspiringness of chart = reason it took me a while to get round to posting it!

That Alex Gaudino track has somehow got even worse since I first heard it a few weeks ago.

2008 has been a pretty wretched year for the charts so far.

I dunno we had a glorious few weeks when Estelle, Wiley, H Two O, Flo Rida et al were doing well - really heartening. There seems to have been a complete lack of big releases in the past month or so though I note 'No Air' preparing to flatten all in its path at no 74.

2008 >>>>> 2007 by far music-wise, bizarrely this seems to have been manifest most in ALBUMS (or half-albums in Santogold's case).
