Rather that than a hell of a lot of other things.

That said, I've listened to the charts precisely once in the last ten years or so, so I don't think I'll lose sleep no matter who it is at the 'coveted' number one position.

Fair point

but this song is just beyond moronic. Its fucking awful

they seem very manufactured

they're not even hiding it. With the clik cliks single sounding like s club 7 I'm worried how the 'indie' trend is steering

In the same way I want to give Alphabeat a 0/10

but somehow just can't bring myself to do it (so smiley! shit songs! but so smiley!), I can't work out whether I absolutely detest Ting Tang and the Ting Ting Tongs or am amused by them.

I'll settle for ambivalence.

Who are they again?

that alphabeat song was far too cheery

for me to dislike, best chart/pop song for ages.
