Posted July 20, 200816 yr At a Student Station, I produce a chart show called the "Fresh Hits Chart". It`s based on the current Sunday chart, but there are rules where we allow all pre-orders in. If a song drops out of the top ten, and falls more than 2 weeks in a row, the song is then dropped. Here was the chart of yesterday. (the top 10, as of Sunday 20th was the same as the Official one) 01 01 Dizzee Rascal 02 11 McFly 03 06 Kid Rock 04 02 Basshunter 05 03 Jordin Sparks 06 04 Ne Yo 07 12 Madonna 08 05 Ironik 09 18 Ting Tings 10 07 Chris Brown 11 ne If This Is Love - Saturdays 12 09 Rihanna - Take A Bow 13 08 Gabriella Cilmi 14 10 Busta Ryhmes 15 ne Disco Lights - UltraBeat 16 13 Coldplay - Viva La Vida 17 16 Ting Tings - That`s Not My Name 18 15 Duffy - Warwick Ave 19 ne 5 Years Time - Noah And The Whale 20 14 Sara Bareilles 21 23 Lay Your Love On Me - BWO 22 ne 21st Century Life - Sam Sparro 23 17 Nickelback - Photograph 24 18 Kooks 25 19 Sharleen Spiteri 26 34 Adele - Hometown Glory 27 35 Usher - Moving Mountains 28 20 Freemasons 29 27 Jonas Brothers 30 30 MGMT 31 ne Ida Maria - I Love You So Much Better 32 27 Estelle - No Substitute Love 33 24 Primal Scream 34 31 N.E.R.D. 35 38 Lynryd Skynryd 36 22 Annie 37 ne One Night Only 38 re Mamma Mia - Abba 39 39 Glas Vegas 40 21 The Feeling - Turn It Up There were 6 new entries, on that one. The station`s playlist, is compiled by that chart. It isn`t biased, because it feature`s all the pre-orders (with a big enough physical order). By taking out songs, that fall continuously after a fortnight, all the positions are in the same order (as that of the official countdown, except pre-orders are put in). 12 continuously falling songs, were dropped today. Having a completely stagnent top 40 (say more like Hit40uk, for example). I thought that maybe this type, of chart would go better for Independant radio (whose playlists are hardily changed, from week to week). Not to say they would do such a thing, but it does work well on the Student station (where your friend, and mine Trevs presents it).

Like I said last week, some stations constantly still play "Rule The World", and Take That. I even spoke to another station`s boss. Honestly, the playlist thing, on Radio is so static.
July 21, 200816 yr Another way to "pretend" the chart is faster is to multiply its actual chart position by the number of weeks. It creates odd results and looks kinda like a physical chart.
July 21, 200816 yr Does The Saturdays have enough pre-orders to make #11? :o Seeing as they are #1 Pre-Orders on HMV; #1 Pre Orders on Amazon.uk; #1 Digital download pre-orders on 7Digital; And are doing the old controversial Westlife/McFly trick cheat of having set up their Pre-Order Text number a month in advance and promoting it on their tour supporting Girls Aloud;and advertising it on Music channels: i2og6Oo_8eM And have a ticklist of all the key target TV programmes that they will be appearing on in the next fortnight Then I personally think they will be far far nearer to #1, than #11 come a week Sunday. :manson:
