I sadly and accidentally stumbled across the Chart Show last Sunday, playing on Radio 1, just at the point where the number four was about to start. The title of this noise was "Earthquake" and what a complete fucking disaster it was. I struggled to come to terms with how the dreadful noise coming from my car speakers was in any way worthy of a top forty position let alone a fourth place as a new entry!
As is typical these days, those in the charts are often incapable of creating anything independently, and so there are numerous collaborations. This means that instead of there being a sense-check (what with there being more than one set of ears to help raise the alarm when things are bad) there are instead numerous examples of how poor quality escapes vetting (and culling).
DJ Fresh was thus not totally responsible for 'Earthquake', the shatteringly awful racket at No.4. His partners in crime are Diplo and Dominique Young. I avoided crashing the car as the discordant bollocks rattled on for three minutes. I can only say that in comparison with 'Earthquake', the horrendous 'Black and Yellow' (released in Sept 2010) was a veritable masterpiece - which is wasn't, of course.
12 of the top 20 note multiple inputs!
