― Neil FC, Sunday, 24 August 2003 21:23 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm not playing but i just wanted to express my surprise that nobody thinks HOJL is going to go top ten!! (probably just wishful thinking on my part)

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Sunday, 24 August 2003 23:15 (twenty-two years ago)

wishful is not the word james - just because ILM still loves it over a year later i doubt the senile robot that decides the chart every week based on the suggestions of a focus group panel including a seven year old girl with severe attention defecit order, an unbearably snooty public school toff with no particular interest in popular music and a deaf chimp cares quite as much.

okay the charts aren't that bad, but what an image

― stevem (blueski), Sunday, 24 August 2003 23:26 (twenty-two years ago)

hmm good point

Just realised I didn't do any commentary... can't be bothered, so I'll just say that the Shania Twain single is great, but she really, really, really needs to release "Nah!" or "Waiter! Bring Me Water!".

― edward o (edwardo), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 04:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Seems doubtful i'll strike as lucky as last week, but here goes:

Abs featuring Nodesha - Miss Perfect #10
Mel Blatt - Do Me Wrong #8
Tim Burgess - I Believe In The Spirit #33
Kelly Clarkson - Miss Independent #6

The Rapture - House Of Jealous Lovers #31
Snap! vs Motivo - The Power Of Bhangra #17
Speedway - Genie In A Bottle #12
The Thrills - Santa Cruz (You're Not That Far) #18 (why don't people just buy the Beach Boys' "Holland" period records and have done with it?)
Tiga featuring Jake Shears - Hot In Herre #48
Shania Twain - Thank You Baby! (For Makin' Someday Come So Soon) #9
Wheatus - American In Amsterdam #26

#1: Mr John.
#40: R. Williams - Something Beautiful (as it deserves a significant fall; down 9 last week, hopefully 17 this week...? ;-))
