What's worse than Crazy Frog being number 1 for 1 week, when it's number 1 for 2 weeks! If there is one thing that can be said positive about the charts these year and that's the stability of the chart. We are getting songs that stay in longer than a week at the top rather than a few years ago when it would go straight in at no1 and be out the chart within a month.

The damn thing shouldn't even be in the charts in the first place, let alone at number 1!

Britons still mad about Crazy Frog
LONDON (Reuters) - It might be driving much of the country mad but the Crazy Frog mobile phone ring tone topped the UK pop charts for a second week, the Official UK Charts Company said on Sunday.
Last week Crazy Frog's take on "Axel F" -- the theme tune to the "Beverly Hills Cop" movie -- became the first ring tone to reach number one when it went on sale as a CD.
Some Britons love the Crazy Frog's distractingly catchy "B-ding ding dididing...." tune and the animated frog wearing a broad smile that accompanies it on videos and TV adverts.
But just as many find them unbearably irritating.
On Thursday the Advertising Standards Authority watchdog said it had received 800 complaints about the ads.
"People say they are on too often and they want it to be taken off screen because it is driving them mad," said the watchdog, which earlier in the year received complaints from viewers who objected to the frog's visible genitalia.
The animosity has even led to the making of a new single "Kill the Frog" by Frog Must Die which is due to be released later this month.
At number two in the charts was American hip-hop artist Akon's "Lonely" while cartoon band Gorillaz climbed back up to third with "Feel Good Inc".
Rock band the Foo Fighters were new in at fourth with "Best of You" with "1 Thing" from U.S. R&B singer Amerie.
Black Eyed Peas were in sixth spot with "Don't Phunk With My Heart" while Coldplay slipped down from second to seventh.
"Holla Back Girl" by Gwen Stefani was number eight, ahead of "Blue Orchid", a new entry by the White Stripes, whose lead singer Jack White married model Karen Elson last week.
Audio Bullys featuring Nancy Sinatra were in tenth with "Shot You Down".

You obviously haven't seen much of their telly then!
You've obviously haven't been to the US then, lol.
The only station that has a announcer over the credits leading to the next program is ABC.
And the IPP's are so large!!

People often say US TV is better than ours, forgetting that in general we only see the best american shows picked up by British broadcasters. There is plenty of american rubbish as well to match the likes of celebrity love island that mercifully we never see.
