Oh yes they have!

The new edition just come out - browsing thru it at Macc's HMV earlier yesterday and noticed they got the chart position for Jizzstream wrong - I'm sure - and NOOL I'm sure is sure - that it went in at number 19 - but the compilers of the lists have got it down as number 20.....!! :nonono: :shrug:

Who's going to write to them to set the record straight on this, or am I being a pedantic arse?

Incidentally, I wonder how often they get their stats wrong on other similar occasions?

:confused2: :scratch: :rolleyes: :skeptic:

Very Good theory! :clap:

Now if only ALL hits in the top 75 chart could be demoted chart positions through lack of musical content and aesthetic worth we might then have thousands of flop singles scraping into the low 40s instead.....ha ha ha!!

Eh???!!!! :eek:

So where did I read about it making number 19 then?? I'm positive I saw it down as no.19. Could it have been midweek? Could it have been a different chart? Could it have been I was drunk?

Damn it you bastard! How can you do this to me? Make me question MY OWN SANITY???!!

Ahhh thank you so much Mr McPhail for printing that list for me...

So it was STEVIE WONDER who charted at number 19 and not New Order.
