Another Year In Pop: 29

Dizzee & Calvin have clung on despite McFly's best efforts! Elsewhere, Annie's new single stalls at no.54 and a truly awful video puts CSS in at no.78.

McFly is a marginal non-tick. However, I did like the track, "Corrupted", from the new LP that was played on R1 last night.*

*voted for by listeners as the one they wanted played. Interestingly it was played back to back with the first play of the lead track from HSM3. And this was at 9.30pm-ish last night! Grimshaw was all "oo-er, where's me credibility?" at having to play a HSM song, but there were clearly loads of pre-teens listening and he read out a slew of favourable text messages afterwards. Landfill indie is doomed, I'm telling you.

but isn't Sunday night the strand of R1 ('switch') aimed specifically at a younger audience? Who will presumably grow up and reach straight for 'credible' taste...

In my day, at that age we were in bed by 9pm
