Could Kasabian be the final "It's number One" on TOTP?

As is customary, the show will conclude with this week's number one single.
This could pose a problem, however, as the programme is being recorded in advance and there is no clear contender for the top slot.
"It's actually quite bunched up," says HMV spokesman Genarro Castaldo, adding that only a couple of hundred sales separated the top five singles.
Among the potential number one artists are Rhianna, Lily Allen, Shakira and Kasabian.

"At the moment Shakira looks like she's nudged back up to number one," said Mr Castaldo, "but there could be a swing at the weekend."

Buy Kasabians single and send them all to Dadaismus.

No, then they'll get to be No. 1 and we don't want that do we?

"If you look at your average kid who might be interested in Top of the Pops, they'll have their iPod in one hand, a mobile phone in the other, they'll be playing a computer with their feet and have a Wi-Fi aerial sticking on the top of their head."

Not only will they be no1 but dadaismus's postie and neighbours will think its his fault.

On the other Kasa thread, someone says they've given the push to the songwriter who wrote all their hits (including this new one).

So, maybe their days are numbered.

A professional songwriter writes that shite?

― Sploshette Moxy (Dada), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 13:07 (nineteen years ago)

Though yeah I don't want them being no1 either.

Since when has DLT known about Wi-Fi?

MAYBE HE'S USING TO GET REVENGE AFTER ALL

As big a non-event, I expect, as Westlife having the last number one of the '90s.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 13:22 (nineteen years ago)

Aguilera's at four in the midweeks.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 13:25 (nineteen years ago)

I thought the Top 5 was all female?

― Sploshette Moxy (Dada), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 13:31 (nineteen years ago)

Are we talking Girls Aloud here?

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 13:32 (nineteen years ago)

woah McFly are #1? i had no idea.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 13:53 (nineteen years ago)

seeing things like new Gnarls single up from 23 to 10 does remind me of happy late 80s/early 90s days when that happened all the time. perhaps this downloads lark really is prolonging the life/cred of the charts somehow.

― Roughage Crew (Enrique), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 13:57 (nineteen years ago)

Tonight, TOTP returns on BBC2.

Featuring "We'll play it unti you BUY IT DAMMMIT!!" U2 with "these boots are not made for walking"

(actual quote: "Yeah, we were a bit bored with it ourselves, but actually now we're playing it live more, I like it again" Bono)

.. and Oasis with their new single..

And the COMIC RELIEF SINGLE(S).

Funny, how the BBC are all keen on TOTP when they've got something to plug.
