- 71 David Gray – Alibi
so the following dropped out :
1 climbing :
2 not moving :
and 25 going down. Big fallers include :
New entries from No.41-75. See who missed out this time round :
[The Breakthrough]
Quite simply the worst cover version of any song ever, including the ‘dance’ version of With or WithoutYou from Marty Feldman masquerading as a girl called LMC.
This song is a subtle and excellent one, it is NOT for climbing up and down the vocal scales every twoseconds. Dreadful. Avoid.
[St. Elsewhere]
Soulful-sounding single, used on BBC’s trails for Zane Lowe’s Radio 1 show, which – just after a few weeksof downloads counting towards a chart place one week before the physical single release – has made charthistory by going straight to No.1 based on the download sales alone.
I could say this is the first single in a row, so to speak, to go straightin at No.1, but I doubt this is something that’s going to become a regularthing just yet.
