January 10Jan 10 I get what you're saying, but I'd counter to say that I'd rather have a stagnant chart that reflects how successful individual albums are than I would a slightly more fluid chart that allows for essentially lifetime achievement awards for successful artists. If a big classic album re-enters and never leaves the chart because the greatest hits albums are removed, to that I say fair play, they created a successful album. 7 out of the top 20 last week rewarding artists for having a popular catalog is also incredibly boring in its way. I appreciate that a badly written rule will allow for loopholes, but i think the argument is just for a better written rule That's fair. My philosophy is that accuracy comes first which I feel isn't always shared when I see untimely ACR cheered on and the like. My feeling is that if songs spending a few too many months in the top 40 can cause outrage that requires a rule change, then the studio album only utopia would do the same. It's that grass is greener philosophy, but fair play if that's how you see it.
