That Virgin on Aston Quay is a Supervalu now. Long gone. Charts are awful things as they are so poorly worked. If music shops had a central system of recording sales maybe it could work but its always open to manipulation. Anyways most of the bands I like never chart!
I heard before a lot of bookies won't take bets on the charts because it's so predictable.
Also I think it was Ronan Keating said before that they were saying to Louis Walsh that Boyzone (still together at the time) were so popular, why weren't they playing bigger venues? Louis took him outside, opened the back of his car and showed Ronan stacks of singles that he had bought to push the latest single to number 1!
no bill and jim did actually burn the money........fair play to them.Quote:

it would've been. I recall Bill Drummond going head to head with Joe Elliot from Def Leppard who in an exercise of complete point missing slated them for not giving the million quid to charity.Quote:

Bob Holness (from Blockbusters) played the sax on "Bakers Street" by Gerry Raferty, its a load of bo**ocks :)
I hate 'Baker Street' for making me hate saxophones.
"The Ruttles" were The South of Englands answer to "the Beatles"
(anybody remember them ?)
Yep, they were a legend in their own lunchtime!Quote:
