UK Top 100 Music chart summary & my views w/e January 24th 2015

Staying at No.1, in the UK Top 100 Music Chart w/e January 24th 2015, is Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars with Uptown Funk. Is there no end for this dross?

And there’s no new entries at all in the Top 10. The charts are really in the doldrums at the moments…

However, there is one track I’ve heard recently, by The Fleas, which I’ve since learned was originally played on Dermot O’Leary’s Radio 2 show in July 2013, but yesterday they performed it live on the show. It’s a cover of the classic tune which featured during Kylie & Jason’s wedding in Neighbours, many moons ago – Suddenly, originally by Angry Anderson. Check it out below and listen to more from The Fleas here:
