I love listening to the chart every week as I have done since 1981.

I'm probably nit picking but Fearne and Reggie are doing my head in with silly chart inaccuracies. :unsure:

 

Last week Fearne "informed" us of Rihanna's "11" weeks at No. 1 and that Kate Nash reached No."3" with Foundations.

A few weeks ago she also said that all of the Elvis Presley re-issues were on download only. (Almost all of his sales were physical)

 

Last night Reggie enlightened us of the "fact" that Kate Nash reached No.1 with Foundations. :wacko:

 

I wonder why Radio 1 choose presenters who know (or care) little about the chart! :angry:

 

Rant over!!!

I know what you mean, it is a tiny bit annoying.

 

I should do it! :D

They are only doing their job, surely they can't remember and know all about #01s etc :(

 

Surely theres more important things to get annoyed over than a chart show. They're job is to announce the chart.

Hi Simon,

Of course there are more important things to get annoyed over such as war, poverty, crime etc.... but this site is relevant to the chart and it would be better if Radio 1 could hire presenters who know what they're talking about! :rolleyes:

Of course it's important. When you employ someone in a job they should know what they're doing and be able to give the correct information. It just proves that Radio 1's researches are awful and that JK & Joel weren't (well they were, but it proves the mistakes they constantly made weren't their fault). They should know what they're talking about and be knowledgeable about the charts. They should realise that songs on their 18th week are not 'in at' and Cliff Richard and Elvis entering the chart are not 'random'. They're completely out of their depth. Listening is painful.

Nah, I just think it adds humour to the show.

Thanx RabbitFurCoat...Well said! :)

Thanks.

 

I remember when Fearne said that Elvis charted each week as people would download a different song. WTF? That couldn't be any more incorrect.

What makes me laugh is that theres always one of them off

 

Last week reggie this week fearne

 

 

Thanks.

Yep, Elvis sold approximately 9000 every week and almost all sales were physical. Hardly any were downloaded! :wacko:

I'd even go as far as saying bring back Mark Goodier!!!! :)

If they are going to take on a chart show, they should really do their homework and research the artists before blahing it on air, I find it annoying especially when Reggie said Foundations was a #1 track yesterday, but it will never be the same as Mark Goodier & Bruno Brooks they were great and gave out information about the artist. They will never find the right DJ for the job

Well said, i completely agree.

I didn't listen to the chart yesterday, i was listening to the Real Radio Album chart counted down by Gary Davies.

Now there's a good chart presenter, he used to stand in for Bruno Brookes back in the day.

 

And he was the first DJ to play Radiohead...something i only learnt recently.

Yep Mikey,

And remember when Bruno and Mark presented they actually played the Top 40 and didn't need all the gab and competition hoo ha! :rolleyes:

I really liked it when Tommy Vance (RIP) was the presenter in 1983! :)

Tommy Vance was pretty good too, i remember him standing in the late 80s and early 90s

on a few occasions.

I've since had the chance to listen to his early chart shows and they were excellent.

the funniest JK & Joel mistake was when they said Gwen Stefani climbed 27 places to 8 with the sweet escape. it had been number 10 the week before :lol: I know researchers do it for them but you'd think they'd at least remember what had been in the top 10 the week before.
