The most positive thing I can say is that this turned out to be awful in a slightly different way from how I expected it. I'm just glad Get On With Your Short Life didn't make the Top 40.

In one of those moments, as this episode refers to Cory Doctorow I absently reach for a book. The book: *X-Files theme plays distantly somewhere*
The cover of 'Red Team Blues' by Cory Doctorow.

This has been going for a year now and it's great fun. As is a house party with Gloria Estefan, no doubt.

I'll have to save it for tomorrow now! But I did listen to most of the accompanying playlist. I pressed play just before crossing a road and was relieved not to get run over to the sound of Gary Barlow.

Hello! ChartLife is not a political podcast - obviously we hope that people of all sorts enjoy our love of 90s tunes. BUT regular listeners will be aware of us “dancing with bins on our heads” - so here is a picture of somebody doing just that, on this BIN DA- we mean Thursday… (#MakeTodayBinDay)

@chartlifepod.bsky.social Only explanation I can think of for the sudden outbreak of Barnacle Bill interpolation ((inter-po-lation)) at the end of Tara's Theme is that Mike Oldfield had a bit where he'd play it as fast as bastard possible in gigs, so maybe became an in-joke with library musicians?

Our thanks to lovely @nickinmasham.bsky.social who has reminded us to say that there is a NEW EPISODE!! Join us for the chart as it was announced on 7 April 1996, as Juliet’s parents struggle to grasp East vs West Coast Hip Hop, Juliet fails to meet Suggs and Ed is freaked out by child gangsters
