This is a bit if an odd cunting, as I am not cunting all of it, but just specific elements.
Before I go into my explanation, I am cunting the state of modern chart music.
Now to bore you with the details.
As a child and teenager, like most, I would sometimes sit poised, with my finger on the record button of the tape deck, whilst listening to the charts from 4, on a Sunday afternoon.
Over time and as I got older, I took less interest in the charts and found my own taste in music.
Fast forward to a couple of days ago, and a random thought that popped into my head.
“I wonder who the Christmas number one is this year?”
I started my journey of research on Google. I was not only pleasantly surprised, but also shocked, as well as being educated.
The Official UK Top 40, is on Radio 1.
It is no longer on a Sunday, but on a Friday, from 4 until 5.45.
Apparently this is in line with the music industry, who release all singles on a Friday.
Also, it is in line with all the various platforms they are released on such as streaming, digital download, smoke signal, carrier pigeon, etc. (As a young man, the highlight of a drab Monday working, was popping into John Menzies on my dinner hour, to have a look at what albums and singles had been released).
Other radio stations still have the chart countdown playing in the traditional Sunday slot, but these are not classed as official now.
After discovering all this information during my search, I then went back to my original query, from which I had been side tracked.
Who is the Christmas number one?
I was met with a mix of emotions as I looked at the official top ten.
Number one is some sack if wailing shit.
But wait, the top ten consists of a majority of Christmas songs that gave been around for years.
There is a couple of shite modern songs in there, but the majority are not.
Wham, Shakin Stevens, and others are present.
Even the original rockin around the Christmas tree!
In conclusion, I thought to myself, the state of the music industry is akin to the amount of animal shit cleared out of zoo’s on a daily basis.
It was nice to see old songs in there that I personally like, but shows that modern chart music is clearly not good enough to keep the classics out of the Christmas top ten.
Modern chart music and modern pop artists – a nice big slap in the face for you, you cunts. You clearly aren’t good enough.
The public has voted with their ears!
