I rarely chart old songs. Very rarely in fact, and Hefner getting to #1 was a one-off.

 

The chart is based on playlists compiled each week with searches on spotify and iTunes. Most of the songs that reach the chart are available on spotify, and I usually make a playlist of it there.

Hi Earl,

 

crikey I know hardly any of these, but the ones I do know have done well in my chart - so, yes, please chart, as that might mean they go into or up in the buzzjack chart (not quite sure if thats the case or how it works but it would be good if they did, such as Primal Scream, Kodaline, Vampire Weekend, Olly Murs :)

 

cheers

Thank you for replying. I was worried my chart was going to disappear off the page with no replies. Given all the others have people replying to them I'd probably have disappeared off these forums for another year had that happened.

 

The problem I find with combined charts is that it's the well known songs that get to the top because the others are simply ones nobody knows.

 

The only thing that differs from the regular UK chart is the ordering, and occasionally there's a non-chart song that has obviously been played enough that enough people know it and it gets in anyway.

 

The real purpose of publishing ones own chart should be partly to introduce people to new music. I am hoping people will subscribe to my spotify chart list or my releases playlist. I build the playlist with 2 others.

 

If you like Kodaline you might like the new entry by Dirty Reds which is a similar genre.

 

1. Hefner: This song dates back to 2000 so was written during Tony Blair's time as Prime Minister and during the "happier" period before the Gulf War that made him less popular. Hefner were played regularly at the time by John Peel. The lead singer Darren Hayman now records solo.

 

2. Wonder Stuff: a great pop band from the Madchester period, whose best known song is probably "The Size Of A Cow" although they did get to #1 with Vic Reeves on "Dizzy". They have released a retrospective "best of" with this as a new song (commonly done with best-ofs).

 

3. Freedom Fry: little known act. Sort of Human League like..

 

4. Kodaline. Familiar to you - indie ballad.

 

5. Vampire Weekend: American alternative rock band, fairly well known, inspired by a few before them, remind me a bit of Pavement.

 

6. Parry Gripp: comic songwriter who writes very short songs which he releases for free. This one last just over 1 minute.

 

7. Touchy Feelies: Just up-tempo power pop-rock with a nice melody. It surprises me that this genre isn't more popular.

 

8. Strypes: Irish alternative pop-rock 60s influenced.

 

9. Akira The Don: rapper from Liverpool, more in the genre of the Streets type rapping. Has been around a while, had previous #1s in my chart in 2004 and 2005.

 

10. Rio Callahan: More uptempo pop-rock.

 

Hello Earl :)

.

I dont know many of those either, but the songs I do know are bloody awesome :)

.

Good job :)

Thanks Earl, I know Wonder Stuff's old stuff and Vampire Weekend. My problem is lack of leisure time to research non-chart stuff so Buzzjack is good for tips, they are always welcome. I tend to download good tracks from itunes and then make cd's for the car to play when radio dj's are talking drivel when driving to and from work:)

 

cheers!

Great Chart! Even though i'm familiar with only 15-20% of your list. Should check some of those tracks I guess there must be pearls among them.

Diane Young (w/ Step as double A-side) just have topped my Chart for 4 consecutive week.

Strypes are fantastic! Good old rhythm and blues in its best! :heart:

 

As for old records... to each his own as they say. I've been avoided old records in my Charts for more than 3 years, but now i decided to add the old records which used in recent TV ad and the ones that came as promo for re-releases. I still have enough of new records to put in my Chart (so no old song required to fill in the gap), but old records make my Chart more... various. So i decided let them go in.

 

 

The easiest way for us to be able to "listen" to each others charts is to share spotify playlists. (That will work for those who have spotify). I put my latest chart into one every week and it gets updated so if people "subscribe" it will be easy. Mine is a top 100 but you can always copy in just a few of the songs, and a few from other people's charts into one of your own, then listen to that and keep the ones you really like to put into your own chart.
