Sandi Thom, the Scottish pop-rock singer best known for her hit single 'I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker', has posted a video of herself crying after her 'Earthquake' single failed to make it onto the BBC Radio 2 playlist.

Thom - who is considered one of the first mainstream artists, along with Arctic Monkeys, to become famous thanks to the internet - has released five studio albums since breaking onto the scene in 2006. She's never quite managed to recreate the success of her debut single though.

Her hopes were high for her latest release, 'Earthquake' - until, that is, BBC Radio 2 decided not to playlist it. Thom's response? To post a heartbreaking and frankly excruciating video to YouTube.

"I want to make this video so that people realise how much it hurts, because I apparently can do no right," she says through tears. "I wrote a song that is pop, and it's catchy and it fits their format and there is no reason why they shouldn't playlist my music and I swear to God they have no idea how much it actually hurts a person."

She continues, "It is utter shit, OK, that is a fucking good song, and there's no reason why you need to do this to me once again. That is it, I am done... Shove it up your arse because I really don't fucking care anymore."
