[Benjamin]

Anybody know why this amazing tune is suddenly jumping back onto the chart after 10 years?

Hmm not sure, I just google it and there's an article (http://www.fleckingrecords.co.uk/2011/03/wheatus-storm-itunes-charts-with-teenage-dirtbag.html) about it but it still doesnt say why :conf2:

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

its because its only 59p probably

itunes has a feature thing on the main page and thats probably one of the few decent songs on offer 59p

thats the only reason i can think of :L

[Zippy]

probably another stupid bloody campaign thingy.

[Benjamin]

Would be good to see this back in the charts though, I love this song so much. Reminds me of when I was 16. :hugesmile:

[Iceman]

You're loving the Wheatus threads tonight then eh?

That still doesn't tell me why. :bawling:

[Iceman]

Wheatus
Teenage Dirtbag inexplicably continues to climb the iTunes charts in the UK... don't know what to say except THANK YOU. Whatever you guys are doing over there, keep it up as it seems to be working.

Still no explanation just fans doing it I guess?

[MTVN]

That still doesn't tell me why. :bawling:

I know :sad: It must have been because of what Scott said, it being reduced on itunes this week

[Benjamin]

I know :sad: It must have been because of what Scott said, it being reduced on itunes this week

But they always have reduced songs and they rarely make the top 50 songs in a week, unless it was a bad week for sales?

[Jords]

Dunno but good song!

[Benjamin]

:amazed:

It keeps climbing! I hope it gets back into the top 40. :hugesmile:

[DrunkerThanMoses]

:amazed:

It keeps climbing! I hope it gets back into the top 40. :hugesmile:

Number 1 please - better then all the **** in there now.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

it didnt even get to number 1 when it was released :joker:

[Benjamin]

I know, held off at #2 for 4 weeks by Atomic Kitten. :bored:

But seeing it back in the top 40 would be great after 10/11 years. I still want to know the reason that this week it's suddenly being downloaded again.

[Niamh.]

I loved that song, is it some sort of a protest because GA are covering it?

[Benjamin]

I thought that, but apparently the covered it ages ago?

So I have no idea as to why everyone is suddenly buying it again.

The FB group is from 2009 and the article still doesn't say why. :sad:

[Benjamin]

:amazed:

It's at #31 in the midweeks.

['Conor]

LOVED that song hense the ED, but yeah its old now...

[Locke.]

There other song was better, where the guy is trying to get his girlfriend back in the video

:nono:

A Little Respect was good, but Teeange Dirtbag is much better. :hugesmile:

[BB_Eye]

FFS once is more than enough.

[Shaun]

I liked A Little Respect until I found out it was a cover...and a pretty uneventful one too.

Whole Again. :bored:

[MeMyselfAndI]

omg Whole again is so goood

[MeMyselfAndI]

sorry its just its my fave of theres LOL

[MeMyselfAndI]

Is this a girl or boy singing this song, the lyrics make it sound like a boy, but the voice is a girls?

[Zippy]

Number 1 please

fat chance


and we don't need old records clogging up the charts. Theyve had their time in the sun and new songs should be having their time now.

They should write a new hit. Oh wait, they can't.

One older song in the top 40 is hardly clogging it up. :rolleyes:

And besides it better than the majority of 'new' crap at the moment. :tongue:

[Shaun]

it was #35.

[Z]

Awww. Maybe it'll climb a bit next week?

[Shaun]

why is it even in the chart :bored:

[Z]

why is it even in the chart :bored:

It must have been an online community based campaign because as far as I'm aware nobody's come forward with any particular reason behind it? It's a good song though, throwback to the 2000s anthem!

[Smithy]

It's coz it's on offer on iTunes :joker:

[Shaun]

but loads of songs are at 59p :conf2:

[Smithy]

Yeah, and they're much higher on iTunes than normal, I think it's just been chance that this one broke the top 40

[Benjamin]

Good to see it's still hanging in there. :)

[Benjamin]

Back in the top 40 again. :amazed:

Anyone know the reason this time?

[MTVN]

Wheatus have been trying to get it back in the top 40 I think, or Radio 1 have, I dunno but I've heard them talking about it on there a couple of times this week

Edit - yeah wheatus were

wheatus ‏ @wheatus
YOU DID IT! #36 Official Chart for the THIRD TIME!!!! Come see us on tour this May-June in The #UK ... http://bit.ly/wheatusUK2012TIX

[Benjamin]

Ah, right. Cheers Matt. Glad it is back again though. I will forever love this tune.

[Benjamin]

Any idea why this is climbing back up again into the charts? :laugh:

[Smithy]

is it discounted?

[Benjamin]

No idea?

[Ryan57]

Seems to re-enter a lot. I think once some fans were behind a push to get it back into the charts.

Or it's because her boyfriend's a dick and he brings a gun to school.

[Z]

Bizarre. It's an enduring song alright!

[Smithy]

no idea?

bloody check then :fist: Yes it is

[InOne]

When Mena Suvari was still hot. (No idea what she looks like now but the rest of the girls of that 99/00 era haven't seemed to have aged well)

Doesn't look too shabby here.

[InOne]

Still looking good :pipe: She shaved her head (or had it really short) a few years ago and that didn't suit her.
