I remember this article. And I remember thinking
“What does the Guardian know about music?”
I got my answer when I thumbed through their listings.
It turns out they know how to compile an easy pop list of songs that people won’t hate too much because they’ve had them drilled into their heads by moronic day-time commercial radio stations.
NIce one The Guardian. Thanks for enriching my life.
