Billboard is reporting that with the rerelease of the Sex Pistol's "God Save The Queen" single, the band hopes to achieve which they should have (and some say DID) achieve in 1977. On its release in `77, the song, in spite of a daytime airplay ban by the BBC, shot up the British chards. It officially peaked at #2, just below Rod Stewart's "I Don't Want To Talk About It." Rumors persist that the figures had to be doctored to prevent the song from hitting the #1 spot. The song was banned, in the AMG's words, because it "attacked some of the country's most cherished patriotic notions at a moment when those notions were being trumpeted the loudest" John Lydon (Rotten) is trying to do it again. He made this statement at a press conference in London, "This is our jubilee, this is our Britain and you have kind of lost that idea… Let me remind you what being British is all about… This is our country, this is our flag, they're our monarchy, they don't work too well at the moment but let's make the [expletive] do a good job. Let's get rid of the useless ones and keep a few of the goodies."
