June 23, 20214 yr Then if that is indeed the case they should remove the link if they don't want any further responses. Again, poor website management and lack of consistent communication. Why waste people's time trying to complete it if it's no longer available? Just thank those who've participated and take it down. I am not too fussed that I didn't get to air my views as I daresay all my comments will've been fed back by other disgruntled users who did manage to complete the survey before it was locked-down. But I would be surprised if they took any of the more complex ideas on board. I don't think they have either time or inclination to really drill down into the problems and while we're obviously keen to engage in the hope of improving their data management etc, I don't think that's what they are really after from this. If we're lucky, we might see some minor tinkering which could improve the efficiency or appearance of the site itself.
February 1, 20223 yr Author Just a random thought, but has anyone ever purchased any merchandise from the OCC online shop? https://shop.officialcharts.com/ There’s not a great selection if I am honest, but I imagine that wouldn’t stop the most die hard fans. So does this include you?

February 1, 20223 yr Nope. I did show the valentines mug to my wife who suggested she knew where she would put it if I where to buy it for her…. I like the idea of them having a shop but I’d rather they did data requests… i.e. put something together where you could by a size of chart (up to a length they specific) and a time period and get the CSV files or the data that way. It could be relatively automated as well so they wouldn’t need to monitor it.
February 1, 20223 yr I would like to be able to search the OCC database to find the sales for a specific artist (even willing to pay!). But I know its not going to happen. :angry:
February 1, 20223 yr I'd actually consider getting one of those expensive Number 1 awards if you could choose the Number 1, rather than it being one by The Wanted.

February 2, 20223 yr You mean to tell me there is actually such a thing as an Official Charts Company MUG and KEYRING??!!! Sales I'd imagine would be pretty poor - almost as low as digital downloads nowadays - though the difference between digital music consumption and buying cheap naff tat is that they can't artificially bolster the true sales figures by adding in streaming-equivalent 'sales'!!
February 2, 20223 yr I talk official chart shop team few week go hope bring load items to store like tee and jumpers Edited February 2, 20223 yr by Dj Cheeky Magpie
June 26, 20223 yr Author I'm trying to retrieve chart data from July 2020 to November 2020 to complete a list of omissions from the Now volume of the time but the data just isn't pulling through, it's been giving me an error for a while now. Is anyone else getting this when they search these dates for singles?
June 26, 20223 yr This website is barely fit for purpose. Hate! Has anyone noticed that’s there been a bit of a shift towards them writing random news articles that have absolutely nothing to do with the charts? I feel like that’s giving the website a bit of an identity crisis.
June 26, 20223 yr I don’t really use it for the news articles although the updated sales figures are always nice. If only the site wouldn’t struggle to load half the time that would be something. Irritating when you just want to quickly check a songs peak or something and you get an error message.
June 26, 20223 yr Author Just look at some of the comments from today alone (scroll down); https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/20200626/7501/
June 27, 20223 yr It has definitely gotten much worse lately. Has been bad for years but their archive section is just not working at all right now.
