Peter Kay and Tony Christie's Comic Relief single has now been at number 1 for 7 weeks, the longest run at the top since 1998.
Is there anyone out there that hasn't got a copy?, who is actually buying this still, surely if you wanted it you would have bought it a bit sooner, rather than waiting 7 weeks. I can't see why anyone would still be buying it now after all this time

Well there's something damn catchy about it, that's for sure! Plus BBC Radio Oxford's "toot your horn for charity" thing was quite successful.

Me, if you mean anyone who hasn't bought it this time round.
I've still got the vinyl 45 from the first time round, so no need to buy it again.

It does, according to the sleeve inside Peter Kay/Tony Christie have waived their fees and Universal will give all net profit to Comic Relief.
Though Christie has got an album out right now, which was at No1, so he's been making a fair bit of whack.
I seriously cannot believe it is No1, it's a good song and a bloody good video, but for 7 weeks! Surely someone must be sick of it by now...

Of course, greedy companies couldn't even contemplate the thought of doing it without making a big deal about it; a bit like Starbucks' "A Coffee Story".

I read on Teletext yesterday that "...Amarillo" sold just over 1,000 more copies and downloads than Snoop Dogg's "Signs".
And I am bored of hearing the song, seeing the video and having the song still at Number One.

... at least it's going to a good cause.
The problem with that song is it's catchy & you end up singing or humming it every where.
The other two songs I do that with at the moment are
Black Eyed Peas : Don't Funk With My Heart
and
Train : Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)
