The other night I was at a pop quiz in Fitzrovia when a question was asked that stumped everyone. Namely: what is the current No1 in the singles chart?
Nobody knew. Because of course nobody has cared about the UK singles chart for a long time now. The main reason being that, largely because of the opaque way it gets compiled in the streaming age, it is impossible for anyone independent or exciting or unexpected to infiltrate it. Unless it is Christmas and you are singing annoying songs about sausage rolls, for charity.
