I'm really not liking these crazy chart runs, its a bit TOO inconsistent.

It's funny to compare the top and the bottom half of the chart... It sees obvious that first a Top 10 is made so it can be broadcast on MTV Europe and then positions 11-20 are just added somehow so the chart can still be a Top 20 (not that I'm complaining - I hope it never becomes an official Top 10)...

Yes, I did believe "California King Bed" would re-enter someday and even the fact that "Man Down" reached the Top 3 didn't make me stop believing that...

I know I'm saying this all the time but it must be mentioned - "Someone Like You" is yet another song that re-enters the chart for the third time, thus having a fourth separate chart run - the othes who achieved this were "Who's That Chick?", "Price Tag", "Mr. Saxobeat" (I'm still expecting it to appear again in the chart) and "Sweat".

Last week marked the biggest jump to number 2 - from number 15, achieved by "Party Rock Anthem" by LMFAO (who made the exact same movement two weeks earlier)... Well, this record is immediately beaten as "Last Friday Night" by Katy Perry goes 16-2!

And what a precise prediction Hitstastic made - "Party Rock Anthem" does indeed leave the chart straight from number 2!

Of course, this is just a third of the whole story - as tsetsi mentioned, last week's entire Top 3 is out of the chart! This is the first time when last week's number 1 has gone out...

Which brings me to a quiz, the answer of which I don't know. I'm sure that a song has left European Top 20 from each position between number 2 and number 20... apart from number 3. Can anyone think of any instance when a song went out straight from number 3?

The fact last weeks top 3 have all dropped out of the top 20 speaks volumes. MTV European Top 20 is just a shadow of its former self. :(

No song has ever left the European Top 20 (1991-2009) from number 1 and number 3.

Sorry but that's ridiculous. :lol: It seems every fortnight the chart is compiled by one person, with every other week compiled by someone totally different leading to this bizzare chain of top 20 charts.

 

I'll therefore predict 'Party Rock Anthem' will drop out of the top 20 again next week despite re-entering at no. 1 this week. :manson:

Indeed, the chart is beyond ridiculous. I mean its been ridiculous since the early 00s, but this year it takes the cake.

This chart is well beyond unsatisfactory. MTV is just beating a dead horse at this point........

This is what i wrote on MTV's website today:

 

Dear music programmers of MTV :) It seems that keeping the charts up to date is hard for you.Look at this Euro Top 20!How a song can be dropped from No.1 and re-enter at No.3............Only if the CD factory burns down........If this chart compiling is not your cup of tea maybe you should hire someone who will have a few hours every week to compile a normal chart like it was so many years until 2009,when all went wrong.It takes only two hours to make a good looking chart from different sources.....i can do it if you want.But this shown here is just pathetic.............why don't you show this chart in full:Mondays 23.00 from 20 to 11,and Tuesday 23.00 from 10 to 1?There is no chart on Monday night.And please make some graphics or just simple titles...........

EXPECTED RESPONSE

The ET20 is created by a professional music programmer who knows all about the continents biggest hits and we will NOT tolerate people who complain about our chart blah blah blah.......

 

*Delete*

 

Maybe you should reply saying "Oh I was kidding, the MTV European Top 20 is the best it's ever been. Such an accurate chart, moreso now than ever before. Keep up the good work.

 

Yours faithfully

 

Mr I. Runny"

 

:D

I'll be very happy if one of us starts making the chart. However, while the whole Top 3 leaving might have been a little extreme, I really like European Top 20 nowadays. You never know what's going to happen next week! For me this is definitely better than 2009-2010 when the chart was a copy of the Eurochart or 2003-2004 when nothing was happening...

I sincerely hoped "Party Rock Anthem" or "Give Me Everything" would have re-entered at number 2 as no song has done that before...

And "The Edge Of Glory" by Lady GaGa breaks the record for the biggest fall ever from the top, going 1-15! The previous record was held by "About You Now" by Sugababes, which went 1-10 at the end of 2007...

I'll be very happy if one of us starts making the chart.

 

I´ve already taken over this chart since the cancellation in 2009.....

What? :blink: Even I've never heard of this song. :o

 

Surely #16 will be a future no. 1 in the next couple of weeks. Surprised that 'Danza Kuduro' hasn't entered yet, or are they refusing to chart foreign language songs now? -_-

I think we've got ourselves an unofficial (but highly accurate) MTV European Top 20 going on right here. Still dubious about the addition of 'Miracle Worker' though. Which country is this charting in? :unsure:

I think it's interesting that the two new entries in the "official" European Top 20 are a song about Mick Jagger and a song BY Mick Jagger and his super band SuperHeavy...

tsetsi, you have done a nice chart! However, I'm afraid that, since the Italian and the Greek European Top 20's are so static, this 3-chart combination wouldn't have much movement, either...

Jamse, by "taken over this chart" do you mean that you have been making your own version of European Top 20 since 2009? I'd like to look at your version as well!
