Punk band
The Kunts could be ready to spring a surprise in the battle for this year s Christmas No. 1.
Many onlookers assumed that
With Mariah Carey and Ed Sheeran also pushing their way into the upper echelons, an outsider has joined their ranks. Boris Johnson Is A F cking C t is battling its way into the charts, with The Kunts sweary punk anthem crushing all before it.
Reaching No. 2 on the iTunes chart, the latest information from the Official Chart Company suggests that the band are now in the Top 20 overall - and they re rising fast.
So, could they steal the crown? It ll be a tough ask, but with London and the South East of England locked indoors with nothing else to do, all bets are off.
THE Official Chart Company has been blasted after it scrapped the Scottish singles chart. For years, alongside the top 40 for the UK as a whole, the firm has produced a weekly rundown of what Scots music fans are listening to. But last month they quietly dropped the Scottish hit parade, with the last chart produced on November 27. Scottish bands and music fans have now signed up to a petition urging the industry body to think again. Journalist and radio broadcaster Jim Gellatly tweeted: “It s very disappointing @officialcharts seem to have ditched the Scottish Chart. “It was a great platform for acts like @TheSnuts @LukeLaVolpe and @joshua grantt to boost their profiles with No.1 hits early in their careers.”

So, what gives? One online query found the Official Chart company claiming that data limitations preventing them being able to continue with publication of the chart.
The Scottish Albums chart, though, will continue.
