i haven't seen what the US charts have been like in a long time so i was wondering if the drivel that is on popular radio here in the UK is the same as on US radio.

I think the UK charts have finally caught up with the US charts in terms of 100% unadulterated CRAP.

the US charts are worse, because at least for the UK charts, it's voted on with the record-buying public's dollars (or pounds, whatever...)


in the US, it doesn't have to even be a commercially available single to chart anymore. mostly so that Billboard could stay relevant, since the record companies were doing away with the single format entirely from about 1996 through now.
