Did you hear the DJ doing it live - he basically slated the listeners for allowing James Blunt to beat the entire Rolling Stones catalog.

Last year the Beatles didn't make the top 10

He was also reading out some of the texts people had sent in, one went something like this..."What tossers voted Robbie to number 5, tossers the lot of you"

I was about to ask where Hendrix was (having just listened to that very track). Led Zeppelin should always be top. James Blunt should not be on the list. In a year or two he will be forgotten.
