It’s always fun when the British record buying public get behind a totally rubbish song, and 2006 gave us a classic example as the UK tried to get David Hasselhoff’s ‘Jump in My Car’ to the top spot.
It has some fierce competition from some actual pop songs, legendary emo tracks and whatever P. Diddy’s ‘Come to Me’ is supposed to be.
Will ‘Welcome to the Black Parade’ be parading its way to the top of the charts, or will Razorlight finally get the chart-topper landfill indie lover were hoping for? Let’s find out as we dive into another classic week of 2000s pop music history from the UK top 40 singles chart.
