Live Lounge Month 2024

Why does BBC homepage say it's Fergie?

Oh forget that, it just changed - 3 seconds before the track ended

[Danishgirl]

Why does BBC homepage say it's Fergie?

I was wondering about that as well... Maybe they've got some problems (again...)

[Jono]

Why does BBC homepage say it's Fergie?

Which Fergie? Opened up a can of worms now... Fergie off of Radio 1 presenting? Fergie the singer playing? Mine says the Foo Fighters for Now Playing.

Haha, he said it so seriously. Yup, I am desperate for it to be Elvis.

[Danishgirl]

Now it keeps saying Now Playing: The Pretender by Foo Fighters

[Jono]

It must just be timed for the chart show then. Actually, it's just lagging by one song. It's a cool feature, but doesn't half mess up. Now saying James Blunt for Timbaland.

:cry: Gutted, I was so thinking this would be Number 1. Bloody kids

He's not moving from his position last week. Stick in there.

[Monitorabbit]

The Elvis? It's so ancient sounding it counts as a novelty song in a way.

Also I always get bad pictures in my head of fat guys, cheesburgers and toilets

[Jono]

I'm sorry to hear that.

Is it just me who finds Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway quite naff these days? It was funny to start with, but it's something I have to avoid when my family are watching it. I just don't get the jokes anymore.

[Monitorabbit]

You're right they've become naff and cheesy.

I'm hoping Scouting for Girls will be higher up the chart this week.

This is so sort of ...Chinese sounding?

[Jono]

Pffft, just tried to check on Orange how many minutes I have left and some chavette is greeting me. What happened to the nice old lady that they had

Quite a catchy little number from J-Lo this one. Almost as good as 'Play'.

[Jono]

Wahey for Scouting for Girls. It's doing alright that track isn't it. Probably because of the alternative version for Laura

[Monitorabbit]

It should say "she's naughty, turned forty" though.

Not meaning about Laura, she's not even 30 - I mean I'd like them to sing about me as well

[Jono]

It should say "she's naughty, turned forty" though

I don't think they want to lie about your age though.

[popbitcher]

this song does my head in!

[Monitorabbit]

Wow Feist's career has been pretty interesting, started 16 years ago as a 15 year old :shock:

Even though it's a Mark Ronson arrangement, Amy's singing just transcends everything, and I always liked this Zutons track anyway

[Jono]

I prefer watching Abi from The Zutons do her thing!

[Monitorabbit]

I prefer watching Abi from The Zutons do her thing!

Yes Zutons are great, I really like them. Don't think they've had a chart success since Why Won't You Give Me Your Love.

Also Abi plays sax - well known to be the sexiest instrument (NOT accordian, whatever some people may say)

[Jono]

The support for the Editors were playing an oboe and violin the other day. That's rock and roll.

[Jono]

*Makes a Kate Nash voice about him not being bittttterrrr*

It's going to be weird not having Dance Anthems after the chart show. Long gone are the days when I used to reach for the off button as soon as Mark Goodier was off the chart.

[Jono]

I'm actually quite gutted this Shayne Ward song isn't available for download from Napster. I quite like it, oops.

[popbitcher]

you big gay!

[Jono]

The problem with Fearne and Reggie doing the chart show is they never bloody work together.

So it will probably rule out Scott doing much more chart show, as it'll probably be Radio 1's Chart Show with Reggie half of the time.

A good top three this week:-

3. Shayne Ward

2. Fedde Le Grande

1. Sugababes

[Monitorabbit]

Fedde will celebrate his number 2 on the plane?

Ha ha Butlins in Bognor - what a class gig

The View are going to play Butlins though - so don't knock it

[Jono]

A worthy Number 1 still methinks. So that's it then for the chart show. The end of another era. No doubt there'll be funky jingles and stuff next week.

Samanda for Number 1. Woo... This Hoosiers song still sounds like something off of ELO.

Anyway, if you're around it'd be nice to see you between 7.00am and 10.00am tomorrow.

[Monitorabbit]

Hoosiers - I hope it does well next week

Please don't let the twins chart, please god noooooooo

[Jono]

I'll be on at 8 o'clock.
