My Chemical Romance hit no1 in the singles chart (with Razorlight at No 2) and The Killers are still no 1 in the albums.
It just goes to show that we need Will to do his chart rundown again to make up for it.
PLEASE COME BACK WILL!

How does that album chart top 10 rank in the worst ever stakes?

Pretty high, I'd say - approaching 1975 levels of despondency.

I was only 2 in 1975. Was it really that bad?

Apparently i got that Queen lp at xmas in 1975 as I loved Bohemian Rhapsody and my parents never bought singles as they felt they were a waste of money.
I have the led zep lp and my gran will have the perry como and jim reeves lps no doubt since jim reeves is her fave. My folks have the Rod Stewart lp I think.

80% of that Top Ten is the worst aural shite possible! Hurrah!

You could probably have a bad chart in any year mind you.
