May 23May 23 Somebody probably has posted this a million times, but does anyone have a full list of when the charts weren’t broadcast for whatever reason (aside from the end of the year).

May 23May 23 I wish they’d change the day of the official chart to Wednesday or Thursday so then there’d be no cancellations and the chart would more likely get played in full instead of them picking and choosing what songs to play

Also guarantee it'd just get the same slot on any other day and they'd still have to skip stuff.

Change the chart week to either Thursday to Wednesday chart or Wednesday to Tuesday chart. It also used to be on Wednesdays until August 1969 when it moved to Sundays and besides, some new music does get released on Wednesday or Thursday
May 23May 23 One thing i want to say in this discussion is that y'all are lucky to get a chart show anyway. Not to say you shouldn't be upset, but in America we have a somewhat equivalent of the big top 40, and it's terrible. Sometimes they just randomly throw in songs because why not. And like 50 million ads, all for a chart that nobody takes that seriously. The hot 100 gets an article about the top 10 on Monday and the full chart on Tuesday. No chart show. I mean, there's a reason why I'm here and not listening to an American one (also cause yall have a little better taste). Missing out a few times a year still means you get almost 50 more than you could get.

But still I'll see if they do a chart recap at the end of the 5pm slot on Big Weekend tomorrow...Even if it was a little late for the same reason!
