Anti-Thatcher song hits top of U.K. pop chart
The BBC grappled with a dilemma after opponents of late British leader Margaret Thatcher pushed the song Ding Dong! The Witch is Dead to the top of the charts. - An online campaign to drive the Wizard of Oz ditty to the No. 1 spot on the U.K. singles chart was launched by Thatcher critics shortly after the former prime minister died of a stroke on Monday. She was 87. Normally, a top position on the charts guarantees a song airtime on the BBC, but some called on the broadcaster not to play the song.
