Yeh it's a con, what they did is got a group of music experts who selected a load of songs (how many I don't know) then I think they had some kind of online voting, which I never heard about until the first of the programs was shown on Sunday night, by which time the voting had closed.

Number 1's like "Albatross" and "Telstar" are more epic than stuff like Kylie Minogue. Seems like the choice are acts with an investment not off merit, in other words it's a record company promotions scam to sell records.
