QUOTE(Col1967 @ Feb 27 2015, 09:19 PM)  It was much the same prior to Oct 1987 though. The chart was released on a Tuesday, yet the 'flagship' chart show wan't until the following Sunday, a whole 5 days later. Obviously you couldn't find out the new chart by clicking on the OCC website but the chart was announced on the Tuesday lunchtime and again that evening. Many newpapers would carry the chart on the Wednesday morning, and of course there was TOTP on Thursday evening. More than enough opportunity for people to know what the new chart was, but they still listened on the Sunday. Back then though people listened to it because it was one of the few places to hear all the latest hits. There would be no point in doing the show 2 days after the chart reveal these days. I'd be amazed if they still bothered with the Sunday show. Shorter show at some time on a Friday is the only option. |

In the US, the Hot 100 is revealed several days after the tracking period ends, I see no reason why that can't happen here. |

QUOTE(Suedehead2 @ Feb 27 2015, 02:00 PM) If the sales period remains the same, record companies may be tempted to defy the agreement and release on a Monday to get a full first week's sales in the same chart week. That's why I am pretty sure the OCC will change the chart week. I agree, the sales tracking week has to change with the global release day. Labels are not going to release albums just two days before the sales cut off deadline. Global release day is not a law for the record labels, they can still release albums any day of the week. |

Chart hits you could still hear on radio 1 Totp and Saturday morning video rundowns.. |

Many newpapers would carry the chart on the Wednesday morning, and of course there was TOTP on Thursday evening. More than enough opportunity for people to know what the new chart was, but they still listened on the Sunday. Actually the reason for the chart being issued a Tuesday is because they used an old system which including posting diary's to the chart compiler. Record shops would post the sales information to the chart compiler and it wasn't sorted out and checked till Tuesday. But it was for the whole week Sunday to Saturday as it is now. These days it is ready for use sometime before 4pm Sunday. I doubt that it could be issued at lunchtime Friday for an afternoon chart, as it would need checking and the returns would not start coming in till midnight Thursday to Millward Brown. Without checking errors would be common. Apparently they once had packets of KP Salted Peanuts top of the chart! Before somebody noticed it!! Moving the chart issue date will not bring back Top of The Pops. With the scandal around it still coming up the BBC management will not want it every week at least until the scandals has died down. I can't see Radio One moving the chart show to Friday. It's a big club day that, why mess with it? They could move it to Saturday after 9pm, by lunch the number one would be announced, many of the MTV stations broadcast the top 40 Saturday. Lots of ILR stations used to broadcast their top 40's at that time, so it's tried and tested. It would give the opportunity for the BBC TV to do some kind of Saturday chart show too, perhaps a live link up with Radio One? All this fuss though. All because the OCC sucks up to the record industry! And the argument about stopping illegal downloading is just bullshit.... |
