Charts

DD/MM/YYYY's Black Square made Canadian Charts force field PR says

"....originally releasing Black Square in Canada in April — where it reached number two on the Canadian Campus & Community Radio Charts — "[3]

gollark: Hmm. Have you tried using jQuery?
gollark: How does it work?
gollark: Maybe try `print`ing or somehow debug-logging (to a file or skynet) `b`?
gollark: What does `waitForOpponent` do?
gollark: Maybe `waitForOpponent` does something. Presumably if the ball is available in `b.slope` and whatever, it should work.
