August 9, 20223 yr I wonder if the death of Olivia Newton John will change things....... Would love to see an impact, but I think it is too far into the tracking week to have anything chart top 75 now. Would love to be wrong still.
August 10, 20223 yr better chance in albums than singles, where she's had very little effect she's #1 on iTunes albums now with Grease <3
August 10, 20223 yr So next week’s #1 is highly likely to be determined by whether LF System go to ACR or not. From Monday to Monday they’re down by 139 sales though we don’t know if the missing data was the same in the two Monday updates. Guessing the heat wave could yet swing it.
August 10, 20223 yr c’mon LF System beat the system!! would be silly if it fell to ACR before Where Did You Go which has been around all year long dodging ACR
August 10, 20223 yr As long as f'king 'Doja' never gets there, which I think we're probably safe from now anyway.
August 10, 20223 yr c’mon LF System beat the system!! would be silly if it fell to ACR before Where Did You Go which has been around all year long dodging ACR They're both at risk of going to ACR this week so it wouldn't be before :magic: I think this is the right time for LF SYSTEM to be going to ACR and if it goes, it's the system doing what it's made for. Where Did You Go? has distorted how things look for us I think...!
August 10, 20223 yr that would be fair enough (particularly as LF System had a couple of free weeks from Kate Bush going to ACR), it was a bit of a tong n cheek comment though as Afraid To Feel is my personal favourite song in the chart I'd be happy for it to remain at #1 as long as possible.
August 10, 20223 yr I hope if LF go Acr beyonce gets a shot at the top. I really hope George Ezra doesn't go no. 1 though.
August 10, 20223 yr not gonna complain when in the 80s and 90s they used multipliers to calculate sales so basically they got reports for like 5% of the shops and then multiplied sales x like 15 or something to get the final figure :D I think you've misinterpreted the methodology slightly? 1. recording the number of sales from shops in the sample in each week. 2. these figures were scaled down using complex algorithms to a standard 250 shop figure (i.e. the panel sales figure). 3. this figure was then multiplied up by the amount (the multiplier) deemed to be the best fit for the number of shops in the UK at the time.http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?s...t&p=2613126 panel sales was the way that sales figures were expressed in the sales reports, i.e the number copies that would have been sold if there were only 250 shops. Panel sales were calculated from the sales recorded in the sample. If the sample was bigger than 250 shops the sample sales would be scaled down to a 250-shop equivalent and if it was less (was it ever once Gallup had got going?) they would be scaled up. Panel sales figures were meaningful only to industry people in the main, although they are fundamental to understanding total or 'market' sales. To come up with an estimate of total sales you needed to know how much bigger the market was than the 250 shop standard panel. During the 1980s Gallup, using their register of shops that sold recorded music, estimated that the singles market was about 17 times bigger than the standard panel, and so to convert panel sales to a market estimate they multiplied the panel sales by 17, hence the references to 'the multiplier'. https://www.ukmix.org/forum/chart-discussio...910#post5929910 (15 was also stated as a multiplier elsewhere, perhaps it varied) The level of complexity in their methodology is also discussed in this old article based on 1984: http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=244334 - but anyway, it wasn't simply a case of them getting data from 5% of shops and then multiplying those sales by 15 to 17.
August 10, 20223 yr I know I know, it was a short way to explain that data compilation was also difficult back then, not just now
August 10, 20223 yr Joseph take it late night talking avoid acr now had massive climb up chart Edited August 10, 20223 yr by Dj Cheeky Magpie
August 10, 20223 yr Joseph take it late night talking avoid acr now had massive climb up chart Well its increase is based on physicals which won't have any bearing on ACR!
