If so, let's look at the whole picture: does this mean that Coldplay is
the greatest thing since the Beatles? Or maybe that the top ten singles
chart means nothing any more? Or that overhyped bands rule the charts?
Or that Americans as a whole tend to favour their domestic product?
You gotta go a little further in your thinking, ask more questions!
Personally, I don't think it means anything. Besides, does this mean
that the single entered the top 10 singles chart...directly? Too much
missing data! I'm assuming it means that the single DEBUTED in the top
ten.
Still means nothing to me. :)
