patioaintdry Stones top US chart

The Rolling Stones have topped the US singles chart with a dance remix of their 1968 classic Sympathy For The Devil.

The track, which has been remixed by Fatboy Slim and the Neptunes, replaces Elvis Presley's Rubberneckin' by a mere 10 copies, 8,610 to 8,600.

Meanwhile, in the album charts rapper DMX HAS scored his fifth consecutive No. 1 album with The Grand Champ.

The album, hyped as the rapper's final release, means he becomes the only artist in the history of the Billboard 200 to reach No 1 with his first five albums.

A Perfect Circle debut at two with Thirteenth Step and Erykah Badu debuts at three with Worldwide Underground.

David Bowie's Reality is new at No. 29 selling 33,000 copies.

Gazza That surely cant be the official US chart..

how could you top the singles chart by selling 8,000 copies in a country of almost 300 million?

Shit - even the number 1's in the UK sell far more than that and its a standing joke here that hardly anyone over the age of 15 buys singles anymore

Cardinal Fang G-Man !!

You are correct. There's NO fucking way that's the Billboard chart. Could you even imagine ? You mean I could take $16,000 dollars and BUY 8000 singles and thus BUY the number one spot. Bullshit.

Nice to see you !!!

Later, Jimmy
