UK Top 100 Music chart summary w/e October 8th 2015

Sam Smith goes straight in at No.1, in the UK Top 100 Music chart summary w/e October 8th 2015, with Writing’s On The Wall, the theme to the new Bond movie, Spectre. Sadly, as I’ve mentioned before, it’s utterly terrible. No-one I know likes it, which makes it even more bizarre that it’s gone straight in at No.1! I know the charts now take in airplay and streaming, not just sales, but still, a lot of people have bought this crap! Why??!!

As such, Justin Bieber drops to No.2 with What Do You Mean?, and dear, oh dear, what the hell is this autotuned toss and who has bought it?
