Who really cares which song is at the top of "The Hit Parade"? ie. which song has taken in most money this week
what is this? 1958? the chart has always been a marketing exercise!
Is it really going to get-one-over on the very wealthy Simon Cowell? -who probably makes more dosh from the vacuous, manufactured drama of his flashy Karaoke contest on TV than producing cheesy cover versions.
Although I happen to think that X-Factor is total sh*te, apparently around 20 million people watched it last week.
20 million being approximately 1/3 of the UK population…. Maybe a substantial proportion of public opinion is with Mr Cowell?
