September 30, 200816 yr Don't get me started on this, firstly they could have posted the top 100 charts. Instead of the top 75 charts. The Top 100 gets posted on the OCC site every week, so why can't they do the same its not really that hard to add another 25 tracks to it. The mag has less sales info now, they have removed the small columns with all the extra sales info. Also I wish the mag was A4 size like any normal magazine out there, it makes easy storage, I'm running out of storage space for them. The site looks alright but I had to wait another hour today for the album mid chart. And there are times when my session on the site gets expired for no reason at all, at times unable to use the Chart data section. I could go on, and pick other things, but I leave it at that for now. But really they should downzise the mag to A4 size.
September 30, 200816 yr Agree with Martin, it is quite frankly ridiculous that they are not posting the top 100 charts for both singles and albums. The lack of sales info is incredibly frustrating - we now have less than normal and even the normal wasn't adequate. There seem to be a few more chart lists (e.g. pre-release top 20's this week), which is a good thing. And I prefer the singles and album charts being back to back on the same fold-out pages. I do prefer the new typeface and formatting of the magazine (same applies to the site) but they've shoogled too many things around - e.g. the Radio and TV Airplay stats used to be where all the other stats were - at the back of the magazine. Now they're on pages 6 and 7. Jury still out - there's a lot of things they could have improved on but seem to have just glossed over.
October 12, 200816 yr Thanks to MW since the upgrade there has been no charts on a Sunday evening, I'm guessing all the info is getting updated on Monday mornings :( Nothing I can do about it guys, just have to sit it out, until Launch/Yahoo update, which could be later tonight or even Monday morning...
