´óÏó´«Ã½

Gentle ChartBloggers, today I feel like Gwyneth Paltrow at the Oscars, Madonna at the Rock 'N' Roll Hall Of Fame, Take That at the Brit Awards and Leon Jackson at the X-Factor final last year (but not Leon Jackson at any point before or since).

There aren't that many accolades a blog can receive. If we have an awards ceremony, it is not one which is covered by the paparazzi. If we have Best In Show rosettes, they are only virtual ones, and can be easily deleted. And If there is a blogging chart, it is not one which gets a rundown with Fearne and Reggie on a Sunday night - and even if it did, I'd be fully expecting ChartBlog to be excluded on the grounds that people would think the figures were fiddled no matter what ranking we managed to get.

So, you take your compliments where you find them in this game. And when I find that a national tabloid newspaper has taken the interview I did with Basshunter from last week - the interview about his battle with Tourette's syndrome, in case you missed it - and run it from their website from start to finish, well, I can only glow with pride and dab my drippy eyes with a mulch of tissues.
