«Chart Throb» is Ben Elton's satirical novel, published by Black Swan in paperback (464 pages, in English).
Calvin Simms, the brains behind the show and one of its judges, controls every outcome because he writes the rules himself. As he assesses the shortlisted contestants according to his script, he doesn't suspect that the rules are about to change and that the «real» can return to television.
The novel was originally published in 2006; this Black Swan edition came out on 4 June 2007.
For readers fond of satire and humour about the television industry and talent shows.
