May 29, 200619 yr Author I saw on ChC someone had found 300 errors and got their name printed in the front because they had found so many! :o Triangle E most likely :D
May 29, 200619 yr Triangle E most likely :D It was, he informs them on what mistakes they've made and helps them with bios for dance acts :D
May 29, 200619 yr Haven't bought this for ages but may get the new one.The last I got was The Complete Book Of The British Charts and it seemed to have very few errors.

May 29, 200619 yr It was, he informs them on what mistakes they've made and helps them with bios for dance acts :D why bother, most dance acts are so random, hell even they dont know who they are :lol: :P
May 29, 200619 yr Mentioned these ones last year, but they don't seem to have corrected them: p141: Dashboard Confessional – Hands Down entered 22/11/03 p145: Dee Dee are listed as a production trio, but they only have 2 producers p214: Credit tags for Freefall featuring Jan Johnston not needed p226/p391: The Girl From Ipanema (re-issue) is listed under Stan Getz’s entry, but The Sunshine After The Rain (re-issue) is not listed under New Atlantic’s entry, even though the credits had the same pattern p228: Girls Of FHM are a faceless dance act – not a group of models/vocalists p371: Mr Jack = Junior Jack = Vito Lucente (from Italy) p386: NRG’s 3rd hit should be Never Lost His Hardcore (2nd re-mix) p407: Note re re-entries of Happy Xmas (War Is Over) missing from Yoko Ono’s section p469: Room 5 featuring Oliver Cheatham footnotes not needed p489: Serafin – Things Fall Apart entered 17/5/03 p500: Simple Kid is Irish vocalist/instrumentalist Ciaran McFeely p560: Time Frequency’s last hit should be Real Love (2nd re-mix)
June 2, 200619 yr Author Sorry if this a bit OT. Though can someone post the sales of the top ten best selling singles and albums for 2005, they normally carry them.

Peter Kay - (Is This The Way To) Amirillo - 1,100,233 02 Shayne Ward - That's My Goal - 874,444 03 Crazy Frog - Axel F - 525,123 04 James Blunt - You're Beautiful - 474,455 05 Pussycat Dolls Ft Busta Rhymes - Don't Cha - 380,936 06 McFly - All About You / You've Got A Friend - 338,553 07 Akon - Lonely - 334,413 08 Madonna - Hung Up - 327,504 09 Westlife - You Raise Me Up - 323,466 10 Sugababes - Push The Button - 306,695 Albums 01 James Blunt - Back To Bedlam 2,367,758 02 Coldplay - X&Y 1,999,260 03 Robbie Williams - Intensive Care 1,434,315 04 Kaiser Chiefs - Employment 1,312,202 05 Gorillaz - Demon Days 1,198,202 06 Westlife - Face To Face 1,142,563 07 KT Tunstall - Eye Of The Telescope 1,023,650 08 Kelly Clarkson - Breakaway 952,225 09 Eminem - Curtain Calls - The Hits 926,012 10 Faithless - Forever Faithless: The Greatest Hits 912,887
June 2, 200619 yr 05 Pussycat Dolls Ft Busta Rhymes - Don't Cha - 308,936 06 McFly - All About You / You've Got A Friend - 338,553 07 Akon - Lonely - 334,413 08 Madonna - Hung Up - 327,504 09 Westlife - You Raise Me Up - 323,466 I know Westlife don't deserve to be top 8, but I still think you've put PCD a bit too high (or got their figure wrong).
June 2, 200619 yr Author I know Westlife don't deserve to be top 8, but I still think you've put PCD a bit too high (or got their figure wrong). PCD should read 380.... etc, put the 8 in the wrong place, oops, thanks for the correction, its all sorted now.
June 3, 200619 yr p228: Girls Of FHM are a faceless dance act – not a group of models/vocalists however think thats just a bit too pedantic, for all purposes they were shown as a group of sexy ladies from the pages of fhm plus random popettes its abit like saying for Santa - North Pole, male vocalist - Santa Claus well it should be UK group of producers or something like well North Pole is not an actual country should be Finland/Norway/Sweden etc etc :lol: :lol:
June 3, 200619 yr also they seem to have counted all of fiddy's singles and albums for his singles total
June 3, 200619 yr does anyone actually complain to the company? yeah there was someone who sent in about 250 mistakes and a nasty letter last year
June 3, 200619 yr I got the book, looks nice. But inside... :unsure: Page 605: Robbie Williams - Sexed Up > 10 weeks on the chart?! It was definitely 9! I am terrified. If they can't properly compile such obvious entry, how about the rest?! :cry: Didn't they have any database system based on the real charts? I start to think they simply put all the entries exactly like they print them later in the book, i.e. simply count all the data "by hand". Shocked! :o

June 4, 200619 yr Yes, that was in the days of CC, we had a huge thread full of mistakes! :lol: Its good to buy still, as the majority of the information is correct! Yes it's a great read. I will probably be picking up my copy sometime next week.

June 5, 200619 yr No reference for the singer of A Girl From Ipanema. Astrud Gilberto and Joao Gilberto should have a note next to Bebel Gilberto saying look at Stan Getz. Last night mum was watching Seu Jorge on the South Bank Show and couldnt remember the bloke who did this song with Ms Gilberto. Couldnt find it in the book! even though it was on the very next page!!! A saint etienne single given as being on Mantra records when it has a Sanctuary record label
