Synopsis

YouTube legends Johnny, Jimmy, Charlie and Alex have got just ten weeks to crowd-source a number one single for Children In Need. Our Chartjackers have no money, no music industry experience, and are not allowed to write, record or perform the single themselves: every aspect - from title to lyrics, from musicians to producers - must be blagged from the BBC Switch audience and the wider internet community. Four ordinary lads from the UK achieving the extraordinary through the power of the internet.

This extended episode tells the entire story of the strangest story in pop music history: how four YouTube superstars attempted to hijack the charts for charity. It has more singing, more air guitar and more crowd-surfing than you feasibly thought possible in a Chartjackers episode.
