The Ting Tings Knock Madonna Off Of The Top Of The UK Singles Chart

The audience of the lauded Manchester duo The Ting Tings has been growing considerably of late. And this was proven by the fact that The Ting Tings have knocked Madonna off of the top of the UK singles chart with their single “That’s Not My Name.” More on this story can be be found on the XFM London Web site at http://www.xfm.co.uk/news/2008/the-ting-tings-hit-top-slot.

Singer Katie White recently spoke to BBC 6 Music about accusations of the duo being all hype and no substance. White said:

“I find that the funny thing is when you get people like sniping at you going they’re a hyped band– hyped, hyped.

“And it was like ‘well, who hyped us? The people that are saying we are hyped – hyped us. We didn’t pay them you know.”
