Posted January 13, 201411 yr Notes on the compilation and posting of this thread, and rules and conventions applied 1. The first rule is that all rules have exceptions, common sense (and my own inconsistencies) may sometimes take precedence 2. Act names - I've tried to reflect the act names as given on the charts, occasionally this is different from that shown on the label or sleeve/cover. If the chart credit is undeniably wrong (e.g. "Elizabethan Reggae") then common sense has been used. An initial "The" from artists names has almost always been dropped, a separator of "And" is usually replaced with an ampersand. 3. Personal names - I have tried to show "real" names of performers where possible, middle names are not shown unless they have some relevance to the stage name (e.g. it would not make sense to show Rihanna's real name as just Robyn Fenty). Where the name an individual goes by is a standard short form of his/her given name (e.g. if someone known as Andy is really an Andrew), I normally haven't bothered showing this. Diactritics are shown where possible, but the software used in compiling the data has difficult with some non-ASCII characters, and the ý in Mýa. I have not shown aritst names in anything other than the Latin script, so for artists whose "real" names are written in Cyrillic, Burmese or Korean for instance, I have used the transliteration as normally shown on the charts. 4. Dates of birth/death - Shown where I have found these while checking out other details. Any additional information gladly received 5. Band membership - Normally relates to their hitmaking period only. Changes in personnel before or after this are very rarely shown 6. Featured artists - This got complex! Where a combination of lead/featured artist ONLY had hit(s) together (e.g. Gotye featuring Kimbra) they are only shown as effectively one act. Where the lead artist has had other hits but the featured one isn't, the lead artist only has a separate full entry. Where either the featured artist has other credits, or both do, both have individual entries. The same (more or less) works with normal duos - for instance Simon & Garfunkel's hits are listed under both Art Garfunkel's and Paul Simon's solo careers. 6a The OCC has sometimes changed the credit shown on the chart during a chart run. In such cases I have tried to use the most inclusive credit. 7. Where a record has been in the charts as both a "normal" A-side and a Double A-Side (whether in combination with a track by the same artist or a different artist), it is shown with separate lines (e.g. "Last Christmas" by Wham!) 8. When a record has re-entered the chart with a different artist credit, I have normally amassed the two together (e.g. "Woman In Chains"). Which artist credit I have used depends on the song itself, and a note is attached showing that an alternate credit exists. 9. Remixes/Re-Recordings/Live Versions used to be charted separately and are shown as different hits, but current practice is for all versions to be collected and charted together, so for any chart runs of such tracks since the advent of the download era are normally added to the original hit version 10. Labels and catalogue numbers are completely omitted 11. EP/LP tracks are shown where known when the chart entry was credited to an EP/LP. If an EP was released on two different CD singles, it is usually the tracks of CD1 that are listed 12. Most of the "bio" information comes straight from Wikipedia (to save time), so there is the likelihood that a number of the entries contain mistakes. Please let me know of any of these, or if there's anything that you think is significant enough to be mentioned. I have tried to keep opinions out of them, and kept references to genres to a minimum as those tend to cause more disagreements than almost anything else. Honours such as knighthoods, OBE's etc. are shown. Oscars, Grammys & Brits are a work in progress and will eventually all be shown, less high profile awards (e.g. MOBOs, Mercury Prize, etc.) are unlikely to be listed unless a particular artist has achieved something extraordinary. 12a Close family relationships between hitmakers are shown where possible, and also in some cases to other famous people (e.g. it made no sense to write even a sketchy bio for Jane Wyman and not mention she was married to Ronald Reagan) 13. Cross-references ("See also....") are a work in progress, as are the marking of US number ones. Expect these to get more comprehensive as the series goes on! 14. Alphabetisation - aritsts whose name is an acronym (and is pronounced as such), e.g. ABC are sorted as if the name is a series of spaced letters (i.e. A B C). All such acts are listed at the start of those with that initial. Where an acronymic (?) name is usually voiced as a word (e.g. ABBA) then it is indexed under that word. Numbers are treated as if they are spelled out, punctuation is ignored. Individuals are indexed firstly under their surname then their given name(s). For some artists, it can be difficult to determine whether a name is a given name followed by a surname, or whether the whole thing is to be treated as one name. In these cases (most of which involve seem to involve rappers), I have tried to use the sorting sequence used for that artist within Wikipedia categories. 15. Where an artist has had hits under two (or more) different names, they are merged (e.g. Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus). With some combinations (usually European production outfits), it can sometimes be difficult to identity which pairings work under which names! 16. Nationalities - I've tried to use the nationalities where people grew up rather than the place they happened to be born. Where there is some difference of opinion I have usually come down on one side of the coin or the other. Large groups are given under the likely most-common nationality (e.g. the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra is shown as Austrian, even if a number of them may not have been). Club football teams of the modern era are usually shown as "Mostly British". Anonymous cover version acts may be shown without nationality. Where a country has changed name since the person was born, I have no hard and fast rule about which name to use but hopefully this should be clear either way. Where I know a person has changed or taken on a second citizenship I have mentioned it Key Part 1 - A to Akon Parts 2, 3, & 4 in this thread Edited December 25, 201410 yr by fchd

January 13, 201411 yr 'Calling (Lose My Mind)' by Sebastian Ingrosso and Alesso should have a 'featuring Ryan Tedder'.
January 13, 201411 yr Author 'Calling (Lose My Mind)' by Sebastian Ingrosso and Alesso should have a 'featuring Ryan Tedder'. OCC & UMB don't credit him, Polyhex & the chart threads at time on here do, so on the balance of evidence I've added him, the revised entry will appear next Monday. Thanks Bré
January 13, 201411 yr I'm sure Alcazar's debut single was called 'Crying At The Discoteque', I've never seen it simply as 'Discoteque' before?
January 13, 201411 yr Author I'm sure Alcazar's debut single was called 'Crying At The Discoteque', I've never seen it simply as 'Discoteque' before? You are right, I had even spelt Discoteque incorrectly! Has been amended in the database and will be corrected on the updated version.
January 13, 201411 yr You are right, I had even spelt Discoteque incorrectly! Has been amended in the database and will be corrected on the updated version. Actually I think it's Alcazar that spelt 'Discotheque' incorrectly :)
January 13, 201411 yr Graham Betts says All Blue were "produced by Kerri Chandler and Jerome Sydenham", whatever that means. Unfortunately you've also spelt the Jagz Kooner wrong twice in the Aloof entry, though it's arguably his fault for having such a silly name. Also, should Altered Images be cross-referenced to Hipsway and Texas (via Johnny McElhone)?
January 13, 201411 yr http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=195322 'Written by Ed & Henry Johnson' - not sure if those are the members of the group though. A google of those names revealed they also co-wrote Will Young's 'You And I'. EDIT: BuzzJack doesn't seem to like embedded images from Discogs.com.
January 21, 201411 yr Got some info on All Blue. This is taken from Hit Music Newsletter I used to subscribe to between 1993-2001. Gave info on all singles and albums new entries. They were siblings Ed & Henry Johnson, their only hit was self penned and produced by Mike Peden (of the Chimes-he also produced Lighthouse Family amongst others)
January 21, 201411 yr So in other words I was right :P Though I wasn't in any way sure of that so yay for confirmation. Is the next part of this thread coming soon fchd?

January 21, 201411 yr Author Mods, is there anyway the sub title can be changed to show the added content now on this thread please? I don't think I can do it as a regular user
January 21, 201411 yr Click on 'edit' on the first post and then 'full edit' and you should be able to do it.
January 22, 201411 yr Couple of little additions off the top of my head: Animalhouse were formed by ex-members of Ride (Gardner and Colbert) Matt Hales of Aqualung also charted (barely) as a member of Ruth Tom Rowlands is the name of the Ariel/Chemical Brothers guy H-Boogie is Estelle's sister Also, should Chuck D be cross-referenced to Public Enemy in the Anthrax entry? I wonder (but don't know) whether Mick Avory in Bobby Angelo & The Tuxedos is the same one who was in the Kinks. Keep up the good work. On a digression, I don't remember Animal's cover of 'Wipeout' but I wonder what Frank Oz did as it's an instrumental.
