Posted March 4, 201510 yr Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, we've reached the M's. One of the bigger sections with just over 800 artists. Halfway through the project, we come to the L list, which is going to need 5 weekly parts to complete. A reminder of the notes and conventions used in creating the data: 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 artist 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. Artists from Northern Ireland are shown thus, rather than being from either the UK or Ireland which hopefully will reduce arguments! 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. Members are normally shown in alphabetical order (but with some exceptions - e.g. Crosby, Stills & Nash are treated in that order) for either the debut hit or the main part of the groups career, with changes usually noted in chronological order 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 - artists 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 17. Data is limited to the Top 75 at present. Thanks to the new OCC archive, Top 100 data is now freely available and will be added into this data at some point in the future.

March 4, 201510 yr Author Welcome to the M thread. This was one of the hardest so far to work with, due to the high number of artists involved. There was also the question of how to work with the Macs and Mcs. I've decided to basically follow the precedents used in the Guinness and Virgin books and treat them all as Mac for the purpose of alphabetising. I've been able to improve on what they did though and move some groups that happen to start with the letters M A C but aren't really Mac names (e.g. Maccabbes) and place them after all the Macs I've also added a new rule to the first post, noting that I am still using Top 75 data only for now, despite Top 100s being in the new shiny OCC archive. Anyway, on to this batch of 100 and this group is headlined by Paul McCartney. The hits that include his name of course can be added to those of the Beatles and those credited just to Wings to give one of the most successful careers in UK music history. Next up, McFly - 7 number ones is impressive, even if most of them were blink-and-you-miss-it affairs. M People racked up over 130 weeks on chart but may well best be remembered for a freak Mercury prize award with "Bizzare Fruit" and Kirsty MacColl, a career cut tragically short by her fatal accident but still guaranteed to add another few weeks on chart each December. Other number ones came from Martine McCutcheon, George McCrae, Brian McFadden and the criminally under-rated Maria McKee, plus Joe McElderry whose week at number one is less memorable than his week at number two behind Rage Against The Machine. Some more unusual entries include that of tennis pros John McEnroe & Pat Cash, MC Spy-D & "Friends" which was really Brian May, actor Ewan McGregor's two hits and M Dubs, not to be confused with N-Dubz Edited March 4, 201510 yr by fchd
March 4, 201510 yr I believe Tim McGraw should also have his feature on Nelly's "Over and Over" included under his name.
March 4, 201510 yr Author I believe Tim McGraw should also have his feature on Nelly's "Over and Over" included under his name. Yes, you're quite right. I will amend that next week.
March 5, 201510 yr Kirsty MacColl was the daughter of songwriter Ewan MacColl. His best-known song is probably The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face. Her nephew, Jamie MacColl, is in Bombay Bicycle Club.
March 5, 201510 yr MFSB That stands for "Mother Father Sister Brother". Great Job as always! The first part of M is dominated by Scottish or ex Scots. Did you know that "Scot" is Old English for Irishman. But the word was also used as in England for a tax, hence getting away with it Scot free! You can almost hear the bagpipes and smell the heather!

March 5, 201510 yr Liz McClarnon's single should be listed as Woman In Love. Great work as always ... many thanks!
March 5, 201510 yr M has some of my favourite bands - Manics, Muse, Mansun, Massive Attack, Mars Volta. Prob my favourite letter, music-wise.
March 5, 201510 yr Hmm... I have heard some other versions of what "MFSB" might stand for, but Mother Father Sister Brother is certainly the printable version.

March 6, 201510 yr Timo Maas' first hit was Der Schieber. Should say 'four members of McFly'. Jesse McCartney's second hit was Right Where You Want Me. Mike McGear's middle name (Michael) should be mentioned. Great stuff as usual, though (including a couple of things I never realised such as Michael & Marcella Woods being siblings)!
