Hi All!

 

I've recently joined this forum as I've been desperately searching for info on the charts, the sales figures and mid week rankings etc and this is, so far, the most current source of info I can find without forking out the subscription for MW!

 

I'll be honest up front and let you know that my interest has been sparked by the fact that the band I'm in have released a single in aid of the Poppy Appeal and Help for Heroes which is doing much better (apparently) than we expected on both Amazon (physical and MP3) and iTunes.

 

Does anyone know where we can find sales figures for the UK Rock Singles Chart which the OCC compile? I have searched on here and read the many threads about the UK Chart, but as we're a rock band and that's the genre we're marketing ourselves in I'd be interested to know if anyone has any historical data regarding what's needed to chart in this specific listing.

 

My apologies if this isn't the place to ask but I tried the UK Chart Chat threads and no-one even seemed to know there was a Rock chart!

 

Any help/links/guidance anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.

 

Regards,

 

Grae

Havent a clue personally, but I think people in UK Chart Chat will know more so i'll move the topic.

MW don't have a chart for Rock singles, but they have a Indie Singles Chart, not sure if that's the same thing.

Based on a show presented by Phil Clifton on some music channels called 'UK Rock Singles Top 10', Snow Patrol are #1, Journey #2, Bon Jovi #3.

rofl snow patrol 'rock' :rofl:

Thanks guys!

 

Seems odd that Radio 1 have a UK Rock Singles chart, and the ChartsPlus site includes it in their subscription, but not MW?

 

I'll wait and see what happens this weekend, Millward Brown contacted us today to confirm the single's registrations details as they have had sales registered... could be 1 or 2 (sales that is, not #!), but you never know :)

 

Cheers,
