Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,218 Posted April 18, 2020 May be a good idea if he and Dame Vera could get together and do a Porn film for charidee. It could be broadcast across't web and be sponsored by KY jelly. Songs and walking are a bit, well, outdated now. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would it REALLY? How many 'singles' do you have to sell now days to get to No1? I admit to being out of touch but, AFAIK, you don't have to sell huge amounts anymore to top the charts.

Absolutely. The cunt has monopolised Go Fund Me, TV, Radio, the Press and half of Planet Earth. Now he is going to take over the forum. Fucking hell, there is no escape from him. Next it will be the Knighthood and then a state funeral. The media got the 'hero' they so craved...... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I hear Xhamster are offering to do a live feed to their porn site. His coffin will be carried in by 6 big titted grannies who will take it into the church and collectively suck off the Vicar and choir boys to completion. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it is harder for "certain acts" (older artists, charity singles etc.) to get to #1 now. Reason being because the chart is not just based on just physical singles and digital downloads, it also includes streaming from services like Deezer or Spotify. Younger people use them A LOT and they sure as hell are not listening to Captain Tom Moore or Vera Lynn. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poster boy for Tory "we'll give tax cuts for the rich, you want money for services raise it yourself". Unsurprisingly praised by Blibberwinkle. See above. I mean have you seen this guy's house? He should have sold it, downsized and given an extra £2m to the NHS. Blibberwimble mentioned something about now being the moment of maximum risk. Naw, you clown, the moment of maximum risk was when 1000 people a day were dying in Italy, and instead of using your eyes and ears, you said you were following the science.
