Is Maria Carey a saint you pray to in order to ward off tooth decay?

I think the proper terminology is "Holy Mother of God!"

She must have had to download millions of copies... I last listened to the Top Twenty, presented by Tom Brown after Annie Nightingale's Lazy Sunday Afternoon, in 1977- surprisingly she wasn't around then,

The charts really are in terminal decline when a week before Christmas you also have Wham at No 2 and the Pogues at No 4.

I think the last time I heard the chart countdown was when I was in school. That was a few years ago now

On an unrelated note, it seems that Mariah has accidentally bought 10 million of her own record and is selling them on ebay for a penny each.

That's way too much money.

Considering the demographic on here I'm amazed that the charts even get a mention. 😂

I can't remember the last time I read anything about them, I thought that they'd ceased to exist years ago.

I have a recording of a 1960's Blackpool tram putting its brakes on..
If you close your eyes and listen, it's hard to tell the difference!

Especially as you can listen to it for free on any radio station you care to tune into. Just wait for Shakin’ Stevens to finish playing and Mariah’s dulcet tones will come through eventually (or at least until I can find the off button).

They must go on download sales now, I’d imagine. Must make it somewhat more accurate.

And streaming services. YouTube and such. That's what'll be driving it, nostalgic middle aged idiots.

Then you’ll get driving home for Christmas, I mean has he not got a sat nav, he’s been driving from London to Middlesbrough for ever

It's not much of an achievement now. LadBaby had the last two number ones with comedy songs about sausage rolls.
