Well, we've decided to add a new feature in the Personal Charts Forum. Obvioulsy we allready have the Multichart run by Damon, and the Album Multichart which will be run by MedicatedSoap (Ben). But we want to add a new feature, a new Multichart.

 

What do you think?

 

Album Track Multichart - This is were people choose there favoutite tracks from the Top 40 of the Album Multihcart, and post there favoutite tracks from any of the albums. This has been donw before and was quite successful. ^_^

 

Retro Track Mulichart - This is where a chart from rescent times (2003-2006) is posted and members can choose there favourite Top 10/20/40 from the chart, and the chart will be posted the way you order it.

 

Or anything else? Do you have a feature that you would like to share?

 

Thanks. ^_^

retro chart sounds good...some of us include album tracks in our personal charts anyway (me for example)

Please vote in this :P

 

Feel free to give other suggestions aswell, as Jonny said!

Retro could be good.

I think Retro would work well (not just because I came up with it ;p). I think even going back to maybe the start of the 21st century would be cool.

I like the idea of Retro but I wish it would be in the 80s/90s. :( But I guess that wouldn't attract many votes. :lol:

Yea the retro would be post 2000/2001.

i reckon maybe a retro/album tracks chart i was thinking of making my own one seperate to my current chart it would be songs from the past or tracks off old and new albums or unknown tracks like b-sides

 

i wouldnt mind a retro chart but i think it would have to be music from any time not just post 2000, also the only downfall is that i would perfer tracks im listening to alot at the momment not just tracks suggested but if everyone did tracks theyw ere listening to often then the same track most likley wouldnt come up twice

The only problem with a retro chart I see, everybody will have a different chart from the others, the same track might not appear more than once, that's the negative side to it, but I'm willing to pass judgement and see how it pans out if comes into fruition. I'm more swaying to the idea of a Tracks chart.

Well a few of us realised that there will be times when tracks would come up twice, but with a 2000-2007 range this would only happen maybe once every 3 months at the most. Another thing on the pre-2000 thing, I realised that a lot of the members on this site are 16-21, and it would be unfair to pick songs/charts when they might not know the songs. What we could do though have charts for a months, in say 1998 were people pick there faves out of that, to give people a wider choice. :D

Oh, I was under the impression that the retro chart would be specific to a certain date. Like, you would post the official UK chart from January...4, 2000. And people would chart songs based off that. Then the next week you would post the chart after that, and people could add onto the chart.

 

I think that would work a lot better tbh. Just having a 'retro' chart would not work at all imo.

That's want I ment. Just in the pre 2000 years have a month of charts to have more choice for people who wern't familliar with the charts. I don't think having all the charts is order woould be a good idea though, people may get bored with the same chart posted with just a few new entries. What do you think?

If you do it per month though, how many charts can you have? BJ started it's multichart in 2006 and if you start in 2000, that's 60 charts and then it's over? I dunno, months seems like far too much of a gap for me, it'd be like a new chart each time and chart runs would be around 2/3 weeks.

I don't mean to sound negative, but I don't think either of these are particularly good ideas, but I don't have any ideas of my own to put forward.

 

I'm not sure that the retro chart would work either way. If we did it week by week using the official top 40/75 and listing our top 40 from that, I'm thinking there will be songs we don't remember even from recent years, for example, I wonder how many of us will be able to remember the song by Madness that's currently in the top 75 6 years on or any other songs that don't stick around that long.

 

I suppose we could be given the top 40 and list the songs we know in order and just put the ones we aren't familiar with at the bottom in a random order, how we think we'd like them etc. . One thing about doing it week to week is that the #40 or #75 song might be my favourite song that week and if it fell out of the chart the following week, wouldn't going 1-Out be a weird chart run? The chart runs might be a bit random in that respect. The problems with month by month have been said already really, the chart runs would be weird.

 

Then the album track chart - it would probably end up just like the personal charts, unless the person doesn't have a popular album out at the moment. I'd still have songs like 'Bleeding Love', 'No One' etc. on my album track chart, they are in my Personal Chart, but they are also on popular albums really. Then there's the problem of liking songs on lower charting albums, 'The Dutchess' is #39 at the moment, my favourite song might be 'Clumsy' or something and if that album fell out of the Album Multichart next week, would that mean I can't have it in my chart any more?

Retro chart could be great!

Wasn't there an Album Track chart before but it didn't do that well?

The album track chart is only meant for non-singles :P I always thought the main downfall of the album track chart was that it only allowed tracks from albums only in the album multichart, which to me stank of dictating to someone that they were only allowed to put forward tracks from albums that other people liked, which always seemed ridiculously populist to me.

The reason it was withdrawn was because it was never that successful :P We did try to reboot it in April but it failed, so if you go with this one I'm warning you that you'll need to promote, promote, promote ;)

 

And I'm sure you already know my ideas from the 'to-do list' thread by now :heehee:

Hmm well we'd only be listing a top 10/20 from the official top 75, so chances are people will know at least 10 of the 75 songs. Also 1-out charts wouldn't happen, because what the plan is for whatever the chart was the week before, we all pick again next week from that chart plus next entries from the new week, which makes sure that songs we all hate don't pop up every week for however long they were in the chart, they disappear straight away :lol: That said, there are plenty of issues with the Retro Chart, like would people submit the same chart every week with only 1/2 new entries each week, which makes it really static?

 

As for the Album Track Chart, songs that have been released as singles aren't allowed to appear in people's Album Track Charts, but i agree when albums drop out it could make album tracks have weird chart runs.

 

I like the idea of a Retro chart! Good ideas.

 

Wasn't there an Album Track chart before but it didn't do that well?

 

Hmm well it used to do well until Matt changed it for the hate chart, but when Tyron brought it back it only lasted 1 week as people either didn't notice it/didn't want to submit.

I see, well my problem with the album chart now is that I don't own a whole lot of albums, so my chart would be compiled mostly of Leona and Amy Winehouse album tracks, but I could probably find 10 singles I like from the albums though, but I wonder how varied the Multichart would be if there are others who don't own those albums.

 

Maybe we could try and get more people to post their top 10/20 for the Album Multichart and maybe expand it to a top 75 if there are enough people submitting. It may result in albums that are liked by only 1 person getting in the top 75, but at least it will mean that person has another potential albums for the Album Track Multichart? I don't know really, it's just an idea I guess.

 

I think the Retro chart might work out a bit better, now that I've had it explained to me. Isn't that how the current Multichart generally works? We tend to chart current singles and add singles that are up and coming to our charts. This is almost like building a 'history' for our current Multichart. We started ours in...2006 I think, so eventually we could have Multicharts up to the week before the Buzzjack Multichart started, which we could combine with the real Multichart top 40 singles data and it will seem like we started before we actually did.

Yeah i agree about the Album Track Chart, people who only have a couple of the albums in the chart will struggle with it.

 

Yeah the Retro Chart could work, but would people really be bothered to take into consideration when the song was released? It's only going to work if people make their charts realistic, not just move songs down to bring new songs in. I'll try and use an example of what needs to happen and what doesn't.

As you can see, if option 2 happens, doing the retro chart wouldn't really work, as songs would just drop down in order so new songs can fit in. I hope people understand this :lol:
