Maybe ANTI will finally get released next week

 

(lol)

Update on the (lack of) midweek update: There still seems to be no-one in the Music Week offices so the likelihood of an update today is remote. That said, a random news story was posted yesterday so perhaps someone is there but they have very little to do!

 

 

MW will have to get the chart from OCC first, its looking more unlikely there won't be anything from MW this evening they are not going to hang around till the evening if someone is flying solo :( , as OCC haven't even updated the Monday chart update

So fridays chart will be interesting :)

Music Week will have the midweeks charts as the midweeks are available to anyone who is a subscriber. It's more likely that there just isn't anyone in the MW ofiice to actually post the charts. The automated midweeks charts pages at Music Week haven't been updating for the past three weeks, it's been requiring one of the editorial team to manually post them since the start of December and none of those staff appear to be at work, probably because the next issue of Music Week isn't due to be published until 11 January 2016. Had the automated updates still been working without a problem we would probably have had an update on both Monday and this evening. Unfortunately Music Week's charts database manager, Isabelle Nesmon, is currently in France visiting her family so she's not in a position to sort out the problem!

Bieber for 1,2 and 3 i'm hoping, i like The streaming Effect on The chart.... It means number 1 singles are less frequent and in turn harder to acheive thus making them more prestigious.

Not just any old shit release for The likes of example or guetta hitting Top spot.

 

Give me a #1 every week with plenty of chart entries over this borefest of a chart :puke2: Especially with such a lame song at the top.

The UK is no longer the most interesting chart in the world, and hasn't been for many years now.

interesting to see if the choir is outside top 20

Will the 11th January edition have all the charts from over xmas?

 

Off topic a bit - does anyone know if the chart on friday is on at the usuak time?

It will be lucky to be top 40 the way its dropping on itunes now :lol:

Presumably one which has a new no1 every week (many of whom arent actually overly popular when their chart runs comes to an end) and jump in at the top of the chart due to built up pre orders gained as their airplay increased.

 

Not really all that exciting really whereas yes now the current chart is quite boring but in a few weeks there will be new releases on a friday which will move up the chart or be big artists which will jump into the top 10 due to demand for new material.

Yes, it is listed as 4.00-5.45 in the Radio Times for 1st January.

The 11 January edition should have 3 weeks worth of charts. there was one year when they didn't publish all the missed charts (I think it was the first edition of 2012) and as a result received a number of complaints so they have piublished the missed charts every year since.

 

I notice that the Music Week twitter account has been a little more active than the website over the past couple of days so about an hour ago I sent a tweet asking if there will be a midweek update this afternoon. I haven't had a reply though...

My initial estimate for NHS Choir was 1-70 iirc, won't be far off probably!

The UK is no longer the most interesting chart in the world, and hasn't been for many years now.

Compared to the US Hot 100 it's still a lot faster in turnover. In fact the Hot 100 has become so slow that Billboard have recently introduced another rule, one that removes records below number 25 if they've been on the chart for (I think) 20 weeks.

 

But the UK chart is quite dull these days. It's a pity because after many years of the chart having too much of a fast turnover, the chart became quite interesting between 2006 and 2009 before the CD singles market completely collapsed. Streaming has just added to the lack of turnover. That said, in recent weeks there has been an increase in the speed of the chart. Take out the Christmas hits and there are quite a few records in the upper reaches of the chart that have been on the chart for two months or less.

 

Which one is the most interesting?

I quite like the Australian chart which seems to usually strike a good balance between stability while also having a healthy turnover of hits. But even their chart has been hit by Bieber fever and the addition of streaming has increased the average chart run.

I quite like that the chart compiler ARIA allow the chart to be downloaded as a PDF. I would like the OCC to do the same with the UK charts as it means that the charts could be saved to a computer. The OCC chart pages are something of a mess as things stand and trying to print the charts produces a messy looking document.

well considering that the nhs choir have already slumped out of the top100 on iTunes and haven't graced the spotify top200 ~ surely they're going to struggle to remain in the combined top100 this week~

 

in any case such a comical fall from the top spot should precipitate the tightening of the anti-hyping chart rules to include orchestrated facebook campaigns which distort the chart~

Not that it helps a lot, but the NHS Choir are currently #123 on Spotify, so they should at least last in the top 100.

Yeah the Aussie chart is quite cool, they seem to be open to buying and listening to new music at a quicker rate than we do in the UK these days. It's not a rapid turnover but enough big climbers and new entries most weeks to look interesting.

 

Most charts around the world have been ground to a halt by streaming, the most extreme example being in Sweden which is boring as hell these days but used to be the most volatile chart in the world, due to low sales. The days when a shopping mall signing could cause a No.1 re-entry were great :lol:

NHS Choir will have shifted enough on Friday to stay comfortably top 100 and possibly even still top 40 I think. (The fact 'even' appears in that sentence speaks volumes about how disastrous this drop is going to be though :lol:)
