Posted June 11, 200817 yr Basically go here link You have to post your email and some random postal code and you're in ;) You get to see all the articles, from charts, airplays, sales, reviews, etc... Here's 1 for example: Sonique has the number one record on the airplay chart for the third consecutive week with It Feels So Good but last week was the first in which it was the most-played hit as well as the most-heard, amassing an impressive 2,561 plays for its audience of nearly 95m. That is one of the five largest play totals of all-time, and put It Feels So Good nearly 200 spins ahead of its nearest rival, Don't Call Me Baby by Madison Avenue. With a comfortable 16% cushion at the top, and with the previously fancied Gabrielle single When A Woman moving only 4-3 and growing more slowly than hitherto, Sonique may well double her tenure at the top before being removed. It Feels So Good's biggest supporter last week was Atlantic 252, where it was aired 95 times, while it remained most-played at Radio One (37 plays), moved to the top of the Capital list for the first time (67 plays) and even made an impression on the Radio Two playlist (three plays). Ben Elton's Maybe Baby movie has been widely acclaimed and is a major box office hit. Paul McCartney's theme from the film - a cover of the old Buddy Holly hit - is the fastest mover in the bottom half of the Top 100 airplay chart, jumping 131-69 - but each and every one of the 11 plays it received last week was from Radio Two. There is no confirmation yet that the track will be a single. After a fairly lacklustre 59-41 move last week, The Corrs' upcoming new single Breathless had a much better week on the airwaves last week, and jumps to number 17 as a result. It was aired more than 900 times and is finally beginning to shape up as another major radio hit for the group. The Corrs' last hit - Radio - reaped the benefits for having a title which reflects radio's favourite subject (itself) and climbed as high as number five on the airplay chart despite a number 18 peak on the sales chart. `Craig David all over your...boink' go the lyrics of his breakthrough hit Re-Rewind (The Crowd Say Bo Selecta). It is beginning to look like "boink" covered over the word `radio', since the 19-year-old Southampton sensation has three records on the rise this week. His long- established former number one hit Fill Me In improves 14-13, while Woman Trouble, his latest collaboration with Artful Dodger & Robbie Craig, jumps 43-28. Meanwhile, his upcoming second solo single, 7 Days, registered 111 plays and an audience of nearly 11m after being aired for the first time on Thursday, good enough for a number 65 debut. Reach by S Club 7 may have spent the last four weeks in the top five, selling more than 300,000 copies, but radio has decided to scale down its support of the group, with Reach sliding from its peak position of 27 to 35 this week. It is generally another very quiet week on the airwaves, with the highest new entry to the Top 50 coming from Finnish dance act Darude, with Sandstorm making its debut simultaneous with its sales success but more mutedly at number 46. Twenty-four of its 274 plays came from Radio One which, along with club exposure, gave the record much of the impetus for its number three sales chart debut. Getting airplay is becoming a bit of a struggle for rock records in the current climate but it is still surprising to see that Oasis' upcoming single Sunday Morning Call has yet to break the Top 50 two weeks after being serviced. It moves this week 77-66. AIRPLAY FACTSHEET * Lonestar's Amazed comes within one place of its airplay chart peak, jumping 40-31 this week. Most of the extra impetus is provided by Radio Two, where it has returned to the Top 10 most-played list after several weeks' absence. It was played 11 times by the station last week, a total beaten by only seven songs. * Meanwhile, it is odd but true that Radio Two has now discovered Don't Call Me Baby, which it aired for the first four times last week. * Xfm may be part of the Capital Radio Group but it remains admirably detached from the programming of the rest of the group. Its current top five is made up of Belle & Sebastian, Dandy Warhols, Ian Brown, Grandaddy and the Charlatans.
