Now, by 1994 the MRIB Chart was not the one used by Independant Radio. In Capital FM`s daft wisdom, they were using a 50/50 airplay sales chart. Which was (and still is nonsense). MRIB`s compilation also used airplay, but it only used it on new entries/risers. This is where Independant Radio go wrong now. Airplay is used in falling songs, and slows the chart too much. In the falling sector of MRIB, songs going down the chart actually fell faster, because of the ruling airplay of new/rising stuff. Falling songs in the 31-75 part of the chart, for a number of consequetive weeks, were dropped from the chart totally.

) Position without downloads alone

 

= Position on Chart Show tv

 

The terrible Tinie does it easily for a second week. Some said that Justin, would finish up in front of Rihanna. It can`t happen because it`s only available on iTunes, and Rihanna cracks out ahead on every other site, despite iTunes being the biggest, and most expensive!

 

Don`t forget for the best Sunday Chart, join Jason Scott et moi...this Sunday at 4pm http://thesuperstation.info followed by the new releases & bubblers in the "Ones To Watch" between 7 & 8pm.

I hope Mumford & Sons climb a couple by Sunday - it's been top 30 on iTunes for a few days now.
The Top Physicals of the week

 

18 NE AGNES

 

Is she out on singles? I thought this has been postponed/cancelled etc :o

 

I knew the physicals chart was made up. :lol:

Thanks Dave! :thumbup:

 

I was at Your Country Needs You tonight watching Pete Waterman and the "Great" British Public pick a mediocre singer and terrible song for Eurovision. Don't expect to see it in ANY of these charts anytime soon :lol:

I knew the physicals chart was made up. :lol:

I'm guessing those couple of copies were imports and/or leaks before the single was cancelled. :D

I'm guessing those couple of copies were imports and/or leaks before the single was cancelled. :D

 

Is it possible that they released it physically to try and get a buzz for it, and then will release it digitally soon?

:banghead: noooo rihanna number 2 :banghead:

Unfotunate mistake Ben. As on this print-out there are 2 nineteens, as listed Agnes/Alphabeat/Gaga/Marina. I guess Agnes was a print error, as there are the 2 A initials, and wasn`t it supposed to be On And On, for Agnes. I seem to have a title of On My Heart, surely some mistake! And not made up as our learned friend says! :lol:

Is it possible that they released it physically to try and get a buzz for it, and then will release it digitally soon?

on the HMV site it says the title has been deleted, so I'm pretty sure it wasn't released.

I`ve amended the post Ben. You are right, the single never got released! A artist/title mix up by the team.
