It is the first morning of half-term. The school bags have been put away, the alarm has been switched off, and the prospect of a week without the usual school-run routine feels rather wonderful. You have visions of relaxed mornings, family time and perhaps even the chance to enjoy a second cup of tea while it is still hot. Then, somewhere around 9.17am, it happens. "I'm bored."

There was a time when getting to Number One in the UK singles chart was about as big as it got in popular music. It could turn an emerging singer into a household name, confirm a superstar's status or provide the soundtrack to an entire summer.
