August 9, 200915 yr Ah, this chart (apart from the top ten) is complete bollocks. I'm still gonna keep posting my 'how accurate is the BT40?' as well as the #1 history though, because that's the only interesting part about it....

August 16, 200915 yr It took me a minute to understand the week thing, B-rye. :lol: I can see week 9 is this Sunday (BT40). Then, the right of it will be next week (OCC). Edited August 16, 200915 yr by FM11
August 16, 200915 yr It took me a minute to understand the week thing, B-rye. :lol: I can see week 9 is this Sunday (BT40). Then, the right of it will be next week (OCC). It's testing the 'predictive' aspect of the big top 40. Week 1 of the Big Top 40 is week 0 of the comparative OCC chart. The following week is week 1 of the OCC chart, and if the two week 1s match, it is a success. Apparently, there was one week before what I've posted already. *edits*

September 7, 200915 yr The accuracy seems to be getting worse but I wonder if they have changed the rules for the Top 10 slightly as the new songs don't seem to be entering at No1 anymore so maybe they are including sales from a longer period than the last 24 hours for the top 10.

September 13, 200915 yr But the #1 this week is actually wrong, because when combined David Guetta/Akon actually returned to the top. Those fools at Big Top 40, say Jay Z but it can not possibly be so. The Top Three, should have been 3 Shakira, 2 Jay Z, 1 Guetta. The full week on iTunes showed Guetta at 1, Jay Z at 2, Pixie Lott at 3. So, other sites and the physical pushed her to the top on OCC.
September 13, 200915 yr But don't they ignore combined positions and just take the iTunes chart as read? Would have loved it if Pixie had managed to get 2 versions in the Top 10 last week, what would they have done then? Played her twice, once at number 6 and again at number 10. :D

Would have loved it if Pixie had managed to get 2 versions in the Top 10 last week, what would they have done then? Played her twice, once at number 6 and again at number 10. :D In the first part i.e. the top ten on iTunes over the week from 4pm, the multiple versions are all added together. The Live top 10 at the end is the bit, where multiples are ignored. Making it as stupid as it could get, as in this week! :wacko: I surpose if 2 versions were in the ten, then the one further down would be missed out. So, the top 11 would be reduced to 10! Mind boggles! :huh: Even more mind boggling, was the appearance of Madonna. During the countdown 40-11, she was nowhere to be seen. Then at 6.30, she suddenly was #20! What the hell was that about? She never even got mentioned!
