Glenn Beck 1, Coldplay 0
(Or should that be "Coldplay, a big zero"?)
"If the song makes it into the UK charts, it is likely to cause a dilemma for the BBC. The corporation ran into controversy last month for masking out the words "free Palestine" from a number recorded by Mic Righteous. It did it in order "to ensure impartiality was maintained", it said. On another recent occasion, the word "Palestine" was excised from a BBC script."

I wonder if the song "Exodus" (not the Bob Marley one) is banned by the BBC on the grounds of impartiality -
"This land is mine
God gave this land to me."
