Call the art police: the new Hercules & Love Affair video is in black and white. It's for the cowbell-happy 'You Belong', which has a bit of a 'Number 43 with a bullet' ring to it. A shame because it's brilliant.
We might start ignoring the Top 30 and start only considering the chart at Number 31 and below, meaning that 'You Belong' would actually be a Number 13 hit.
In fact a better way of doing it would be for the Official Charts Company to automatically disqualify any song which is not at least half decent, meaning that there would be more room for good songs in the Top 40.
Under this new ruling this week's Top 40, for example, would look like this.
