Default Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead set to re-enter charts?
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...ers-death.html

Quote:
Baroness Thatcher's death could see the 1939 song Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead propelled into the top 40 of the singles chart.

In the space of less than 12 hours the song, from the classic film The Wizard of Oz, had made it to number 54 according to the latest sales figures collated for the Official Charts Company.

The late former Prime Minister, who died on Monday, divided opinion and while many have mourned her death, some have seen her passing as a cause for celebration prompting a download surge for the track.
Oh dear

It's a bit sick if you ask me, although if people hate her that much to get a song from the 40's to the top of the charts so be it.

I've heard it won't be counted in the actual charts. Not sure if that's true though.

I wouldn't buy it myself but I laughed - the same kind of laugh I give to a dark-humoured joke, it's on the same level really. It's gonna be pretty funny if Jameela has to announce this

Not that I agree with it, but I dont see how it wouldnt be counted? Old songs get back in the charts all the time. last I heard 'lets get ready to rumble' was #1

It's only 51 seconds long, I think that's why

Yeah it probably would be counted. This would've been a better choice of song though. The Wicked Witch song is a bit idiotic.

So they didn't play it as a new entry but they mentioned it when announcing the current top 10, Scott just said 'following an online campaign at #10 is Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead' and then moved on. Will be interesting to see what happens on Sunday...especially as the top 10 is streamed live and all the videos are played...not sure there is one for this though? But it'll mean we get to see Jameela's facial expressions when talking about it.

Last time this happened was when the sex pistols 'god save the queen' was kept from the top spot during the 1977 sliver jubilee.
Waiting for this to re-enter ...

Well Newsbeat is now reporting on the story.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/22093181

Quote:
Some reports claim various versions of the song were too short to qualify for a chart position but the Official Charts Company has denied that.

The version of Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead which is in the Top 10 is 51 seconds long.

The Official Chart Update and the Official Chart Show are both broadcast on BBC Radio 1.

When asked if the station would play the track, a spokesperson told Newsbeat: "Radio 1 will run through the Official Chart Update today as normal, however we only play a selection of entries each week.

"The Official Chart Show on Sunday is a historical and factual account of what the British public has been buying and we will make a decision about playing it when the final chart positions are clear."
I don't think it'd be right if they refused to play it, the BBC is supposed to remain impartial and by not playing it you could argue they're teetering on the edge of taking a side in a political movement (if you can call it that). If this is what people want to buy and listen to, I'm sorry, but you're obliged to play it and live up to what your show sets out to do.
