Storm the Charts has been on hiatus since Thursday night. The first two rounds of the first week of polling had completed amid accusations of vote rigging, and some pretty heated sniping between rival bands. Despite claims that they "managed to rally the fans at the last minute" it looked pretty suss for two bands in the same poll to have both quintupled their votes in round two compared with the support they drew in the first round.
So the organiser has decided to pull the plug temporarily while he works on a way to make things fairer and less prone to multiple votes. This will undoubtedly not go down well with some factions, but will hopefully be greeted warmly and with encouragement by the majority, who apart from their obvious personal desire to find fame and fortune through their music, mostly also have the altruistic and selfless aim to promote indie music in general in the face of the suits.
