Number One will soon be 1000

X-Factors 'Steve' has just become the 998th number one record since UK chart history began. Not that the charts have really meant much to anybody since the eclipse of CD over vinyl and sales of 'singles' diminished from millions to tens of thousands in number to achieve the coveted 'number one' spot. It could mean something real again soon if the download websites get their statistical reporting act together. Just think we might even get some real music back in the charts again...
