Well there goes that then.


Missy Higgins has debuted at number one, which means we have to stop liking her under the conditions of the Murray Principle. It's so rare that a song I like makes number one that the only other time we've had to evoke the conditions of the Murray Act 2004 was, well, when Pete Murray himself made number one.

It doesn't seem right that a BEST SONG EVER has topped the charts...I mean, if I had it my way, next week's top 10 (when all these songs would have been released by) would look like this:

1. Scar - Missy Higgins
2. Keane - Somewhere Only We Know
3. The Darkness - Love Is Only A Feeling
4. Run - Snow Patrol
5. Hard Act To Follow - Grinspoon
6. Laura - Scissor Sisters
7. Maybe - Emma Bunton
8. Popular - Darren Hayes
9. She Will Be Loved - Maroon 5
10. Every Single Day - Millsy

But it's not going to look anything like that, of course, because that's a chart from my parallel universe were people have brains and good taste. BUT - what is strange is that, actually, one of the songs has crossed over from one world to the other, to be number one in both. So before something very terrible happens to all mankind, I must stop liking Missy Higgins at once.
