Billie Piper's Gonna Party Like It's 1999

Talk about chart rigging! U.K. Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles played Billie Piper's former #3 hit "Honey To The Bee" Tuesday morning, encouraging listeners to download it and take advantage of the new chart rules...

...since any old song can now be eligible for becoming a hit again thanks to download availability, Billie's "Honey To The Bee" entered the official U.K. singles chart at #17 this week, eight years after it's original release. But mark D'luv's words, this is just the beginning of these types of stunts.

Elsewhere, last week's #3 and #4 singles, by Mika and Just Jack respectively, charge up to #1 and #2. And with rockers The View at #3 with "Same Jeans," the top three positions perfectly match the top three downloads from U.K. iTunes. Meanwhile, with no physical single in sight, The Fray's monumentally whiny "How To Save A Life" debuted at #29 off downloads.

With any luck, that'll be that, and England will steer clear of those mind-numbingly dull bastards.

The U.K. Top 10:

1. "Grace Kelly" - MIKA *1 week*
2. "Starz In Their Eyes" - Just Jack
3. "Same Jeans" - The View
4. "Too Little, Too Late" - JoJo
