Arguably today, Hit40uk is a better programme because it doesn`t have a couple of "nob ends" presenting it.

Between January 04 - October 06, Radio One was again getting the most listeners (not due to presenters, but because some Independant Radio Stations were not taking Hit40uk). Hit40uk became leader of the listeners again, after Oct 2006. However Independant Radio always have a problem because they would never be allowed to broacast the full "Official Top 40". But they could actually employ another market researcher, to compile a more sales based chart for them (like they did with Record Business Magazine 1978-81, and MRIB 1981-93). Although they are now, reluctant to do so. The Official Chart is compiled by MILWARD BROWN (the research team, not the OCC themselves). Independant Radio could employ someone like GALLUP, or even the British Market Research Bureau, to do one for them. Why don`t they?...the guess is money. Asides that they could even try to be more ahead, by using pre-orders (like our very own Fresh Hits Chart).
The British Market Research Bureau would most likely refuse to compile such a chart. They don't include music research amongst their key market research areas anymore, but added to that is the fact that BMRB is actually owned by Millward Brown Group so would effectively be providing a competing chart against its owner!

Not sure that's true Dave. That Lucio is every bit as much of a `nob end' as Fearne and Reggie. Far too opinionated and rude for me. Can't stand to listen to him.
