Number 1's like "Albatross" and "Telstar" are more epic than stuff like Kylie Minogue. Seems like the choice are acts with an investment not off merit, in other words it's a record company promotions scam to sell records.

Well they won't be conning me into buying Albatross or Telstar, I've already got um

ha ha ha! Notice they are not on the list - the point is the top ten acts are on the list because they are being promoted to sell records and promote those artists - ged it!

What they should do really is offer the public to select their one favourite number 1, then the records with most votes are the ones that win it. Problem if they did this it would cost a hell of a lot of money to gather all that data, by TV campaigns and advertisements.

Or Satisfaction which I think is their best song ever - was it number 1 in the UK?

The program actually covers the top 60 Number Ones and they still have 40 more to countdown this weekend!
