Well your Itunes TOP 10 Live RSS Feed on homepage is not correct.

It's not giving the correct chart positions

 

Here is the official ITUNES RSS FEED GENERATOR

My guess is your browser is caching the page rather then reloading it. Press Ctrl and F5 on the page to reload the page with the latest version.

as above, the data should be correct and has been the times I have checked it against the live feed. I suspect this is caching in your browser; maybe your work has set an auto cache timeout period as unusual if it was on your home PC. What browser are you using?

Its definatly not a caching problem, as have checked with several different browsers

 

IE8, mozilla, chrome

 

This is the OFFICIAL ITUNES TOP 10 UK feed, as from the itunes rss generator

 

It's updated constantly, you can even check the dates/time beside the song names!

(although the time is 1hr behind, maybe hosted in another country)

also forwarded the link for the itunes rss generator above

Again what do you see as different?

 

The RSS feed of http://ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net/W...limit=0/rss.xml and the homepage are exactly the same to me.

 

You do realise Buzzjack has it's own iTunes threads with members constantly posting the latest info? Currently -> http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?s...0&start=900

 

We have learnt that the newest iTunes data comes from using the iTunes software as often the RSS is 30 minutes or more delayed.

It is definatly wrong, as currently

 

If We Ever Meet Again (feat. Katy Perry) - Timbaland

Do You Remember - Jay Sean, Sean Paul & Lil Jon

 

have been in the top 10 now for atleast more than a day

 

PROOF: http://www.apple.com/euro/itunes/charts/top10songs.html (which is catergorised daily)

Neither of them songs have ever been in the iTunes top 10 :wacko:

 

That link you are showing removes any songs marked as EXPLICT; Jay-Z for example.

yes was going to mention this. Our top 10 is the true top 10 and includes so called "explicit" songs. For example the RATM (Rage Against the Machine) song I believe was explicit and would not have been on the above chart even though it was #1.

That link is your problem.

 

That shows only songs without explicit lyrics.

So it misses out on:

4. Starstrukk (feat. Katy Perry) - 3OH!3

10. Young Forever (feat. Mr. Hudson) - Jay-Z

 

and adds

11. If We Ever Meet Again (feat. Katy Perry) - Timbaland

12. Do You Remember - Jay Sean, Sean Paul & Lil Jon
