March 25, 201510 yr You'll end up with a Sunday-Thursday chart which will look like how midweeks look on Friday; therefore benefiting new releases slightly but not affecting the chart 'horribly' as you suggest.
March 25, 201510 yr I wonder will some record labels use that short week as a benefit for their records and move their held-back releases to that particular week. However that could do a big trick with them, as if there are too many new releases they will overshadow each other. So yeah, I too think it will just be a normal week with a slight advantage for "new" held back releases of that week.
March 25, 201510 yr As the Big Top 40 Show will stay on a Sunday, due to the fact member stations can't broadcast it at 4pm Friday, then the Big Top 40 show will presumably keep the same week as they do now. Which means that when the Radio One top 40 comes out Friday the Radio One chart will be a week behind, or at least seem that way, thanks to the fact that new entries would be in the Big Top 40 before Radio One's chart. Since the Big Top 40 show is not moving to a different day it will keep it's audience. And despite the fact that it's not the Official Chart, anyone wanting to listen to the chart music will have to tune into it as the Radio One chart has gone! Thus the only winners in the chart move is the Big Top 40. Having looked at the Calendar for this Christmas, I reckon that if the X-Factor winner record is going to be a contender for the Christmas Number One Simon Cowell would have to break the rule and release the download after the Sunday final on the 20th of December. Or they have the final on the 13th and risk the record not being top when the chart is announced Friday 25 December. However the Big Top Show if the final was on the 13, could claim it as Christmas Number One because their chart would be for the 20 and that would cover x-mas week. In any case I still think that Simon will break the release date rule as I can't see them waiting till the following Friday after the show's final on Sunday (on whatever day) to release the download. The cover version of the song alone would pull in a lot of sales in that time.

The cover version of the song alone would pull in a lot of sales in that time. He didn't seem to have a problem releasing a week early in 2011 and 2012. If this was the case, he would have held the release date back on both those years so I doubt he will break the rules. What will happen is that the song would have to hold the #1 spot for a second week in order to claim the Xmas #1
March 25, 201510 yr It will be sad to see the show move to Friday from a personal perspective in terms of listening to it and it being my Sunday ritual but I don't suppose it matters that much really.
March 25, 201510 yr There's not a release date 'rule'? Anyone can still release midweek if they want, like they can do now. They don't HAVE to release on a Friday. It's like how the winner's single is released on Monday rather than the 'normal' release date of Sunday.

The cover version of the song alone would pull in a lot of sales in that time. The Radio 1 Chart is already "a week behind" Big Top 40 so it makes no difference. TXF scheduling has as much to do with how ITV want to schedule it as anything else. They'll have the final on the 13th as planned. I don't think they would want the final as late as the 20th. I think part of the reason they don't run the show all the way to Christmas is because they can charge more for advertising earlier in December.
March 25, 201510 yr They would only have time to play five songs in the 21-40 bracket assuming they stop playing last week's top 3 and play the full top 20 so based on last Sunday then I guess these entries would be played. 21) 22 Taylor Swift - Style 26) 37 Ed Sheeran feat Rudimental - Bloodstream 28) NE Pitbull feat Ne-Yo - Time For Our Lives 37) NE Kygo feat Conrad - Firestone 38) NE MNEK - The Rhythm Edited March 25, 201510 yr by zenon
March 25, 201510 yr Just thought; had this move taken place last year, then assuming Band Aid 30 was still released on the Monday morning, it might have held the #1 spot for 2 weeks and perhaps had a better chart run following on from that
March 26, 201510 yr There's not a release date 'rule'? Anyone can still release midweek if they want, like they can do now. They don't HAVE to release on a Friday. It's like how the winner's single is released on Monday rather than the 'normal' release date of Sunday. It will be an informal "rule" just not enforceable. That's why the OCC are having to shift the chart date. The Record Industry has come up with an agreement to release records on Friday, but since they can't enforce it, the Industry knows that if they left the chart date as it was most record companies would simply ignore Friday and release records Sunday or Monday. This would make a mockery of the international agreement and so the OCC have no choice but to move the date back. I think the OCC personally think it's a bad move and Radio One and the BBC do too. But you won't get any official to admit that in public due to the agreement and the UK don't want to be seen as a block to it. Since the X-Factor final is on a Sunday it's not possible to release records the same day, though downloads of the winners single could take place. But iTunes wouldn't be happy with putting the record straight out after the show, because the public would crash the system. I think they did anyway last year!
March 27, 201510 yr http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?s...p;#entry5013037 We have confirmation date of the global release date, so first chart show on a Friday will be the 17th July
March 27, 201510 yr http://www.musicweek.com/news/read/ben-coo...the-pops/061278 - ugh is about all the response I can muster to this. A new weekly chart based music show was what the BBC needed. With this incredibly smug talk of 'great content for demographic', and intrinsic linking with 'The Teen Awards', I'm starting to wonder why I bothered venturing the idea. Horrible, horrible, horrible.

Otherwise they'd be either keeping a chart under wraps or overlapping weeks, no?
March 27, 201510 yr I'm expecting the first Friday chart show to be on the 10th. Otherwise they'd be either keeping a chart under wraps or overlapping weeks, no? I would imagine that to be right the first Friday Chart being the 10th, otherwise you would get two sets of new release records in the Chart if they broadcast a chart on Sunday the 12th. So the last Sunday chart show will be on the 5 July. Then after that the Official Chart becomes a bit of one and a lot of the other week chart. Can I have the pleasure of naming the Friday 10th Chart as the "3 Quarters Chart". :w00t: Please!!

March 27, 201510 yr Just noticed that the 24th Dec is on a Thursday this year, so with the new chart date, it'll be perfect for maximizing the position of the Xmas songs! :)
