The wintry weather hasn't stopped Lily parachuting straight in at number one; other high climbers using their pickaxes and oxygen apparatus include Alesha (who moves into the top ten) and Jason Mraz (who just misses out at 11). The rest of the chart might as well be stuck in a snowdrift.

Airborne Toxic Event

a) they are named after a weighty cultural metaphor oops no I mean a bit of silliness passing itself off as portentous and significant in a not-very-good Don Delillo novel. (Although the joke may be that the whole novel is a parody of novelistic self-importance in which case it is too clever for me).

b) 'I know, everyone liked that LCD soundsystem song, you know the one about 'all my friends'. Fucking hell, even John Cale liked it, and he was nearly no. 1 everywhere in the world with his cover of Leonard Cohen, so he must be good. Why don't we make a song which SOUNDS EXACTLY THE SAME BUT LESS INTERESTING and take the electronic bits off so we don't scare the horses.'

c) put a donk on it you miserable c*nts.
