July 5, 201511 yr No, because i have been following charts since 1996 but don't want the mids to spoil my enjoyment of the charts You cant assume everyone who posts in here obsesses over the midweeks and itunes charts. No spoilers should mean no spoilers if you respect the enjoyment of the few chart lovers that remain Well, the no spoliers part is to stop known information today from the chart being posted, not for midweek information. So, if you are that worried, don't read page 1 :D
July 5, 201511 yr I used to NOT be happy if I ever missed a chart when I was younger :lol: You're not the only one.
July 5, 201511 yr Let's all try and get some Buzzjack tweets and texts read out today guys, make sure to tweet @claraamfo :D
July 5, 201511 yr I started listening in late 2007/early 2008 I'd say and I listened on/off in 2012, stopped in 2013 and first half of 2014 and started Re-listening when I joined buzzjack. 2008-2009 (because of music) and 2014-2015 (as when my love for charts came back) were my favourite periods :wub:

July 5, 201511 yr 1- GHETTO GOSPEL- 2Pac Ft Elton John (54,820) 2- CRAZY CHICK- Charlotte Church (32,692) 3- YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL- James Blunt (32,635) 4- AXEL F- Crazy Frog (23,500) 5- SHOT YOU DOWN- Audio Bullys Ft Nancy Sinatra (17,635) 6- ROC YA BODY (MIC CHECK 1,2)- MVP (15,300) 7- SLOW DOWN- Bobby Valentino (14,600) 8- INCOMPLETE- Backstreet Boys (13,004) 9- LOSE CONTROL- Missy Elliott (10,400) 10- FEEL GOOD TIME- Gorillaz (10,300) That retro chart. Yes, sales were low but honestly part of the reason for that is the shoddy tracks. I've never worked out where the vicious cycle started, awful product meaning awful sales or awful sales meaning a lack of effort put into the product.
July 5, 201511 yr I remember they used to publish a top 10 singles and albums update in a paper ahead of the Sunday reveal and I always looked at the Woolworths chart to see who they were stocking and I uses to collect the HMV new release sheets ready to mark all the weeks new entries on Sunday Back in the good old days :lol:

July 5, 201511 yr :hi: everyone! The Sunday chart show indirectly led me to Buzzjack (that of the infamous 2009 Christmas chart to be specific :magic:), not to mention I've listened to it most weeks since, so it's very special indeed. Gonna really miss having the charts revealed on a Sunday. </3 Haven't commented along for a little while so I'm making an effort to do so today and hopefully help make this a bit of a bumper thread. :D

July 5, 201511 yr I've listened to the chart show near enough every week since... a few weeks before I joined BuzzJack so early 2009 :P I think stumbling across this website was what prompted me to start listening and I lurked in these weekly threads for a few weeks before signing up. At the moment I actually will be able to listen to the new Friday chart show anyway but it will certainly feel different. Ah well, things change ~ Here to provide the recaps and album chart stuff (which will be on time today :P) for this last Sunday show anyway. I will still be posting this stuff in the Friday threads but perhaps not live.
July 5, 201511 yr I remember they used to publish a top 10 singles and albums update in a paper ahead of the Sunday reveal and I always looked at the Woolworths chart to see who they were stocking and I uses to collect the HMV new release sheets ready to mark all the weeks new entries on Sunday Back in the good old days :lol: I think it was the Sunday Mirror (I used to make my dad buy it for that!). Woolies charts were way off though sometimes - Back in 1997 I remember they thought Puff Daddy - I'll Be Missing You would be number 7 or so but was a huge number 1!
July 5, 201511 yr You're not the only one. Me too! If I was out I'd always take my cassette Walkman to listen to the radio or I'd refuse to go out unless it was before 4pm!!!

July 5, 201511 yr While everyone is at it. Listening to charts on and off since 1999 with Mark Goodier when Alice Deejay was forever at number 2. It birthed my hatred for 9pm (Til I come) GO AWAY ATB, GO AWAY Edited July 5, 201511 yr by Paramore
July 5, 201511 yr I think it was the Sunday Mirror (I used to make my dad buy it for that!). Woolies charts were way off though sometimes - Back in 1997 I remember they thought Puff Daddy - I'll Be Missing You would be number 7 or so but was a huge number 1! That was the one! My nan used to save me her paper once she finished with it! Yeah, they didn't always get it right! There were a few tracks they had in the top 5 that didn't even go top 20 officially!
July 5, 201511 yr You were in the Poker Face thread I posted earlier, just a month after you joined :D I posted in the first chart show thread after I joined I'm pretty sure! :P
