The UK pop charts fill with novelty records leading to Christmas. The actual number that make it to the Number One spot is far less than most Brits would expect, as everyhit shows. Nowadays, singles charts are fairly defunct because sales are lower since internet, mtv and similar.
Just for fun, I'm going to speculate on an 'Offbeat' number one this year, with this song about a bullied schoolboy creating traffic jams whilst riding around with his father on a JCB digger. Kind of Bob the Builder meets Mad World, with a bit of The Streets. Here's the video and here's the interesting website.
What's your bet?
Some from the Past: C= Charity/O=Offbeat/G=Girly/D=Desparate/N=Novelty/X=Xmas/P=Pop
I've left out Pink Floyd, Queen and other big artists who happened to be there and the '67, 66, 65, 64 were Beatle songs. Have to stop somewhere!
