Pointless Witterings

As we arrive at the end of June, we find ourselves facing the exact same chart as we did last week. So, in the spirit of the mind-numbing repetitive monotony that is the charts at the moment, I've decided that this week's chart will be recycled entirely from last week. Why? Because I'm a pretentious bastard that believes that this will 'make a point'. Also because I'm lazy and this is the way I'm doing it. 10. Despacito: Remix - Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee & Justin Bieber (Chart Position - 1) Do I need to repeat myself again? This is poor on all levels, and, worse, feels like a very bad case of cultural appropriation. I'm not quite sure what to make of this song, because it just feels offensive more than anything else. I sincerely doubt this song's going to disappear in the next few weeks, so I'll have to try and come up with some new criticism I haven't mentioned before. For now, the word mind-numbing springs to mind. 9. I'm The ...

As we near to the end of June, it's clear we are reaching a point of mediocrity for the charts. Most of the songs on this list are simply too un-note worthy to be interesting, and a few I'd even call bad. It's pretty depressing when you reach the middle of summer, when music should be at it's height, and find that it amounts to a whole load of bland nothing. Anyway, here's the list of bland nothing, starting with: 10. Despacito: Remix - Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee & Justin Bieber (Chart Position - 1) Do I need to repeat myself again? This is poor on all levels, and, worse, feels like a very bad case of cultural appropriation. I'm not quite sure what to make of this song, because it just feels offensive more than anything else. I sincerely doubt this song's going to disappear in the next few weeks, so I'll have to try and come up with some new criticism I haven't mentioned before.

So, we're now into June. Nearly half way through the year, and the charts still seem to be stuck in this rut of terrible mediocrity. Very few of the songs on this list I'd call actively enjoyable, and some I'd say that I disliked or hated. Anyway, let's get started: 10. Swalla - Jason Derulo, Nicki Minaj & Ty Dolla $ign (Chart Position - 9) This is still here. Seriously, there's nothing else that is better than this? This song is probably one of the worst things to chart this year, and I'm seriously losing patience with it. The whole thing is a mess, from start to finish, and it doesn't help that the artist's track records are so poor. This whole song feels like one extended joke that's gone very badly wrong. Please don't make me talk about this next week, I can barely talk about it now. 9. Despacito: Remix - Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee & Justin Bieber (Chart Position - 1) I don't really understand why this is liked as much as it...
