Maybe he thinks that if he plays it enough, people will end up loving it, just like they do the show.... Laughing

Yeah, it's still going (although it is still Number 1 after 7 weeks!)

I notice he added the god-awful Timbaland record to his show today - no doubt he'll play that every day for 3 months or so now...

(and, erm, I quite like Sonny Jim - it's really grown on me. Sorry!)

Oh no Ian, your Timbaland quote has filled me with dread.
I've got a feeling his new "Umberella" is going to be Mutya Buena or Avril Lavigne.

There was some great variety on SW's show today as he played Sonny Jim before Umberella, the man is a true music variety star.
Maybe tomorrow it'll be Umberella first and then Sonny Jim, the amount of effort he puts in is PHENOMENAL.

That was her last single. The current playlisted single is When You're Gone - and everyone's playing it!

Well I'll be an unkey's moncle, just as I opened your message Ian, Terry Wogan started to play it! Shocked
Spooky or what?

Like it but preferred Girlfriend, but then again, I liked Skater Boy.

So now Steve has discovered another rubbish record to impress the schoolkids with - the new one from Girls Aloud.

Boy, is it awful. Absolute drivel.

I don't know who the intended audience is but none of the 20-something women in my office liked it at all.

So in addition to his brown-nosing, talking/singing over tracks, the Hemorrhoids, the (laughable) 'Big Quiz' and his sychophants, the music now sucks as well?

We're all doomed. Rolling Eyes
