UK Top 100 Music chart summary w/e March 24th 2016

Mike Posner climbs from No.2 to No.1, in the UK Top 100 Music chart summary w/e March 24th 2016, with I Took A Pill In Ibiza, and it’s the most twee piece of crap I’ve had the misfortune to hear this year. Why are people buying it?? Please tell me below. It doesn’t make sense!!!

As such, Lukas Graham drops to No.2 with 7 Years, and I’ve heard this a zillion times in the gym. It sounds a lot like the opening to Michael Jackson‘s Earth Song with its plinky plonky crap, and I hate it.

There are no new entries in the Top 10, but The Pet Shop Boys have released a new single, The Pop Kids, from their forthcoming album, Super and it does rather sound like a return to form, especially mixing some of their ’80s and ’90s sounds together!
