UK Music Sales:
Music Week have today reported that the UK’s number one single will top 100,000 sales for the third consecutive week this Sunday. Admitidly the music at the top of the charts is pretty shit at the moment (With the notable exception of Rudimentals ‘Feel the Love’ four weeks ago) but it’s a good sign for music in general and a positive sign that people still want to pay for music.

Ridiculous Tour Riders.
If you were a world famous DJ, what would you ask promoters to provide for you? T-Shirts? Champagne? a three-man rubber dinghy? We can see the fun in making a crazy rider and you know.. like they say if you don’t ask you don’t get but all this weeks rider business has got a little out of hand and embarrassing to all involved now! If you have no idea what we are going on about go and Google Steve Aoki’s tour rider and see what you think!
Rhianna T-shirts…
Possibly the most played out fashion item in the world right now.. Walk down Brick Lane or head to pretty much any London club and your more than likely to bump into at least one ‘Swagged Out’ dude in a T-shirt that has a print of Rhianna face on it. Can we leave it alone now?!
That’s it for this week – look out for more things we are rating and hating next week!
