Yeah it really confuses me, epsecially with "Chasing Cars", even though about 2 million people have it on the album.

Edited by Marcus

That makes the chart interesting in January.

 

well its interestin to see where everything is in the chart, but its not interesting listening to the songs for the millionth time :(

And something you cannot hold! :lol:.

I really do wonder who buys all these old songs after they probably heard them months ago. They took a while to decide. But i can talk when i buy a song its rarely on its first week of release

Yeah, that's just annoying. They should do what Billboard so with some sort of "Recurrents" chart.

Why are old songs in the chart a big deal? I'd much prefer an old chart which is accurately reflecting what songs we're buying compared to one that's manipulated by record companies just so that their artists get the most exposure and the chart becomes fast-moving and predictable again...

Amidst a field overcrowded with teen-pop and nu-metal, Detroit's White Stripes emerged at the tail end of the 1990s as a new hope for gutsy, no-frills rock & roll. Their doggedly minimalist sound--just one guitar and a drum kit--heralded a return to the raw, gritty garage-rock of the '60s and early '70s, as practiced by such hometown acts as the venerable MC5 and the Stooges. Even the band's image was striking, as Meg and Jack White employed only primary colors in their wardrobe. Reinventing blues riffs for the 21st century in a sonically crushing rock context, they could be either the Led Zeppelin of the modern age or the little siblings of the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, but either way, they make a glorious racket. - HMV

I agree.

 

Although I'm contradicting my viewpoint by listening to the Football on Radio 5Live instead of listening to songs that I've heard on the chart for the 60th time....

I am pleased that without Fearne, Reggie is doing reasonably well (aside from the usual inaccuracies) and has played most of the songs so far :o
Conquest did well :) , not good for my chart predictions though. I have heard this quite a lot actually probably more than Icky Thump
