Hi Guys,

 

As the thread has been a bit quiet lately, i thought i would introduce a new game. The aim of the game is to predict what the top ten of the big top fourty will look like when the chart is lockdown at six o'clock

 

Normally the game would start from seven oclock on a sunday evening, however as this is the first week i thought we could try a tester, so from now till 3pm on sunday, feel free to predict what you think the big top 40 top 10 would look like at 6pm each week, on a weekly basis

 

Week 1 currently looks like this:

1 Usher ft Will I Am - Omg

2 Professor Green - I Need You Tonight

3 Kelis - Acapella

4 Scouting For Girls - This Aint A Love Song

5 Plan B - She Said

6 Timbo + JT - Carry Out

7 Selena Gomez - Naturally

8 Lady Gaga/Beyonce - Telephone

9 Tinie Tempah - Pass Out

10 Joshua Radin

 

Predict what you will think this will look like byt 6pm tommorrow, Using new entries you think will make it

 

There will be a point system

If u get the number 1 right you get 10 points

if u get number 2 right you get 9points as well

" " number 3 = 8points

and so on

then i'll add up your scores an give you the results on sunday or monday every week

 

Have fun and predict, You have to 3pm to tomoz

 

Thanks

Is this some sort of game? You should ask first a mod about starting games here ;)

 

BTW I don't see the point because there will be only minor changes

Well sorry, i didnt know that u had to contact an administrator

 

and BTW, Songs can move in and out of the top 10 throughout the week and i just thought it would be a good idea. If u dont like it just dont post and just leave it at that. i never new u had to get permission

I'm sorry I'm a moderator here (but I don't like to advertise it) and I just wanted to let you know, before anyone will close this thread, but seeing you're quite ignorant, here is the rules thread:

Big top 40 isn't really popular on this board anyway.

I don't see Chipmunk or any other new entry being Top10 by 3 O'Clock. Although maybe we could predict them :unsure:

Bit harsh! Just because you don't like the Big Top 40 doesn't say nobody does! I've always loved the way so many chart followers are so quick to criticise the BTF or its predecessors for being a made up chart / not being official and have countless discussions about the constantly changing listings of a single download website.

yeh i sorted it out with the admins but i reckon he'll close it again soon

This is bound to be completely wrong though. :D For all we know, tracks could get randomly deleted from iTunes just before 6pm, and the whole chart could get messed up. This happened I while ago I remember.

Yeah, and Rock That Body got onto the top 10 too (I think #7). I remember it, because it really only peaked at #11 on iTunes. Telephone got into the top 10 that week too, back before it got insanely popular.

 

Another weird thing the Big Top 40 do is they combine multiple entries for the songs in the mid-week update at the start of the show, but when they do the real chart at the end, they just do the individual entries. So in theory, some songs could chart twice on the Big Top 40 Show. It almost happened with Telephone, as it was #3 and #11 the first week it got at #1 in the official chart. I suppose it could also happen if we get another song with a really popular remix, like In For the Kill last year.

Yeh, its confusing but oh well, doesnt mean that its a bad chart like an administartor said. They just like to show whats the top ten songs at that time , although they probably do need to sort out a different system so that it makez=s a bit more sense lol. I think it was No.8 for rock that body but im not 100% sure?

Yeah, I like the chart, mainly because it's almost constant music from 4pm to 7pm. On Radio 1's chart show, they sometimes already in the top 10 by 6pm (I know this because I listen to both charts at the same time), which leaves them with 30 minutes left to talk, and 30 minutes of music, which I don't like the idea of, to be honest.

 

The Big Top 40 would probably be better if they did the "lock-down" at 4:30, after playing the mid-weeks. Then they could just play the live iTunes top 40 as of 4:30, and just miss all the airplay out. Also, the fact that they factor in airplay gives such weird chart runs (e.g. 5-6-9-38-37-39 or 1-4-6-9-X-X-X-12-15-etc.), which is quite annoying.

 

I think they should change it while they have the chance. The only problem I see with this is they'll have more songs charting twice, and they'll have quite a lot of album songs charting in the #30-#40 range.
