I can't sleep and I just had a dream that amplified and echoed my sexual repression (basically, I was trying to service and enjoy the company of two ladies but people kept knocking on my front door every three seconds, from UPS to representatives of Mack trucks!). So I'm up and I'm posting this final edition of the iTunes chart from last week. By the way, if you ever wondered why I posted those charts, there were several inspirations behind it. I have a habit of looking at
Polyhex's list of UK singles chart runs and also enjoy checking out
this site a lot, which features one man's take on the different chart listings for a good ten-year period and his remembrances related to each song. Anyway, this chart comprises two weeks worth of listings because I didn't get to use iTunes enough on the first week to even compile a Top 25. By the way, I'm really unsure of the name of the song listed as #13, but that's what it's listed as on the .mp3 file even though it bears no resemblance to the studio version and the one live version I've heard of it.
