Soopa Doopa Koopa

It's only taken a week for the new chart rules to allow an act who wouldn't previously have charted to secure themselves a big hit.

The big story of tomorrow's chart will be unsigned band Koopa hitting the top 20 on downloads alone with their single 'Blag, Steal and Borrow'. I've heard the singer speaking on the radio twice in the last 24 hours, and their story (which sadly also includes a family tragedy) is all over the internet: NME, Channel 4 News, The Independent, Revolution, MTV.

Koopa - not to be confused with:

Krupa (Apollo 440 hit from 1996)
Gene Krupa (Drummer, after whom the above hit was named.)
Koop (Swedish-based drag jazz duo - really!)
The Cooper Temple Clause
Tommy Cooper
