Radio 1 presenter reads out old chart update; no one notices

In an incident that rocked no one the world over, an outdated version of the midweek chart update was read out on BBC Radio One this week.

The update, actually from 10th October, was read out by popular disc jockey Greg James during his regular 4-7 show on Wednesday.

James, an exceedingly tall man, eventually noticed his folly and began apologising on-air, only for his producer to vehemently hush him. Though there seemed to be a moment of confused silence immediately after this, a muffled voice was then heard over the radio-waves. After expert analysis by experts, the voice was revealed to be saying "Quiet, you berk. I think we've gotten away with it". 

Just as no picture of Greg James could be obtained for use in this article, no comment could be obtained from fellow DJ Nick 'Grimmy' Grimshaw Image: 'me and Nick Grimshaw

Indeed it was shown that official fun-ruiners Ofcom only received two complaints about the show, both of these relating to a lack of airplay being given to Rihanna's new single "Creamy Buns".

Meanwhile, shit-stirring journalists from the various tabloids of this great nation were out in force asking youths what they thought of the mistake, only for their claims of 'another bungle from the Beeb' to fall on deaf ears:

"But Nicki Minaj and [sister and arch-nemesis] Lady Gaga are in the charts this week! They've got those new singles about doing sex and dancing and stuff!"

"No, I think you've got that wrong, PSY is still number one. Man, I love that song 'HEEEY SEXAY LADAY!!' haha!"

Are just a few select quotes from the multiple 16-25 year olds interviewed, suggesting in no way that the charts are filled with unimaginative and samey dance-pop about risque subjects.
