This guy agrees with me totally - I was shouting abuse at the radio on Sunday...
"I had an unfortunate experience on Sunday evening. A long car journey meant that just for a change I was in a position to listen to the chart show on a certain national radio station. You'll know the one I mean, the one that used to have a host that actually cared about what he was playing and what it meant for each artist to have each chart position. In his place now of course are two giggling imbeciles who use the show as much as a vehicle for themselves as it is for the music, spend half the show not actually doing the chart in the first place and then when they get round to it editorialising in the worst possible manner. Trust me, if there is one cardinal rule of doing a chart show it is respect the tastes of your audience - especially when it comes to the Number One single. Said single is still Axel F, the official Crazy Frog record clocking up a third week at the top. I'm no big fan of it personally, I can't see a reason for its existence at all, but the computer printout I'm looking at at the moment tells me I'm in the minority. In fact so many people like it and find it appealing that it has outsold everything else on the market for the last few weeks, selling so many copies in the process that in that short time it has outsold virtually everything else this year to wind up as the second biggest seller of 2005. I can scratch my head in bemusement but I sure as heck have to respect and acknowledge that. What I should never do of course is spend a chart countdown show rubbishing the track, hoping that it won't be Number One by the end and howling with frustration when I am forced to announce that my prayers have not been answered. Tweedledee and Tweedledum couldn't manage this of course and demonstrated just why their show has gone so badly wrong. Fun fact: the live chatroom that used to run alongside the show doesn't operate any more. Is this possibly because it was only ever filled with people telling them how useless they were?"
I see that Garys boyfriend 'Tiesto' has made a right balls of Barbers Adagio for strings.

Are they talking about JK and Joel "Britian's hottest DJ's?"

Personally, I think it's a wonderful remix - one of the best in fact. Ferry Corsten's remix is also quite good.
I'd love to find out how many of the Crazy Frog's sales come from downloads. Does anyone know?
Not that including downloads won't be a good thing in the long run, but at least if they weren't then we might not have a certain amphibian at the top. If frogs are amphibians at all, that is...
