A former Radio 1 DJ’s controversial calypso song has failed to make the top 40.
Mike Read’s song for Ukip which the 67-year-old from Worthing sang in a mock Caribbean accent had looked to be heading for the charts at the start of the week.
But following a media backlash to the song, it was withdrawn from shops.
The number of sales before the product was withdrawn was enough to secure the song 44th place in the UK charts announced yesterday.
