Music chart summary: w/e June 19th 2010...
I've got a bit fed up with the charts over the last few years as there hasn't been a great deal to shout about. I may
end up dropping it altogether, but until then I'll just summarise things with a few words about the new entries and
anything else of interest.
This week, the No.1 went to the dire 'charidee' record of Shitty Rascal singing, "Shat, Shat, Let it All Out", a bastardised
cover of the Tears For Fears song, unably assisted by mediocre 'comedy genius' James Corden. Other football songs in
the charts, thanks to the World Cup, are a new version of Baddiel & Skinner And The Lightning Seeds' 3 Lions
(No.10), a re-entry for Fat Les - Vindaloo (No.32) and would you believe Terry Venables singing
If I Can Dream at No.23.
As an aside, another re-entry was Stereophonics' Local Boy In The Photograph at No.60, following the
death of their former drummer/co-founder Stuart Cable last weekend, aged just 40.
In the album charts, Christina Aguilera takes the No.1 slot with her new album, Bionic, with other
notable new entries including The Drums (No.16), Steve Winwood's Revolutions – The Very Best Of Steve Winwood
(No.18), Iyaz - Replay (No.26), and also compilations for The Who at No.27, and Jimi Hendrix
at No.29.
The new release dates for singles and albums can be found

and they go up to mid-August 2010.
