Avicii is pretty famous. A lot of chart hits.

Is Top Of The Pops still a thing? Charts?

TheVision · **Posted:** Fri Apr 20, 2018 22:22

I imagine Hearthly is a keen follower of the charts.. Sitting there every Sunday waiting for them to come in, ready with a P90 to tape them to play in the car.

It’s ok Hearthly, I hadn’t heard of him either. Though, I bought perhaps my third or fourth lottery ticket ever on Wednesday based on my reckoning it was my lucky day because they were playing Cat Stevens in Morrisons whilst I was shopping.

God damnit, Avicii.

You've probably heard some of his songs on the radio at some point.

Unless Radcliffe & Maconie play him on Radio 6 (hint, they don't), I won't have done

I hardly ever listen to radio, just Radio 6 on catch-up at the weekend sometimes.

When I'm in the car I simply have trance on.

I have had the 'This Is Avicii' playlist on Spotify this afternoon whilst playing Burnout Paradise Remastered. He made good melodic pop music with a trancey vibe, and now he is dead.

I don't recognise any of the tracks.

His music is a great accompaniment to Burnout Paradise Remastered, and I think would be great driving music in a real car when the weather is as nice as boobs and you're like dead happy about things and that.

Until you remember he died at 28, which might take the happy edge off things a bit.

Overall I think his music is nice and I like it.

I think the kids count the number of "downloads" that "MP3s" have these days, rather than there being a proper chart as such. :shrug:

They still have a proper chart. Downloads have been part of it for about a decade, but streaming counts too now.

It's on a Friday.

I like his advice on cooking steak..."Don't fucking touch it...don't prod it, don't poke it, don't even look at it"

It was also his opinion that the only cheese that should go on a burger are processed cheese slices

Entirely agree on the latter.

I'm sympathetic to that view, but having had blue cheese on there once I can't agree.

The guy who exposed Savile has already tweeted he investigated him as part of Yewtree and had "compelling evidence" against him.

I find it amusing that the headline says “Clangers co-creator...”, yet every single picture shows him with Bagpuss. He had a good innings I think and a decent legacy. RIP. I loved the Clangers and Bagpuss and bought all the videos for my daughter when she was younger.
