RED KITE

Is it possible to have a Monday update from now on from the Official Charts List? - I've discovered that some big ones like Beyonce - Love On Top and the single from Amy Winehouse - Our Day Will Come were never added to my Spotify playlist but I've been through the new release schedule each week like a fine toothcombe and I note down anything not available on Spotify in case it becomes available later on so I'm going back to their first release schedule in October to catch up - I thought those songs were still officially to be released - I don't bother looking at the weekly chart anymore.

They do seem to have additional single releases on their lists (presumably because as they are the Official Charts Company they are getting sent the information about new releases direct). Now that most radio stations won't go near new music unless it has already got into the Top 40 and is aimed at their target audience, I pay very close attention to the new release schedule, go through the whole list and add my selection to Spotify every week - I just wouldn't hear most of the music otherwise.

Just noticed this and they've been posting it since 10th October last year. Why not just use this (the guy is getting paid to spend the time doing this unlike Manickangaroo) with people here posting any additions they find from now on?

You can listen to my weekly selections from the new release schedule (updated most weeks) here: (you'll have to copy and put the links together) http:// grooveshark.com/#/playlist/SKYWAVE+2+Dare+To+Be+Different+/62270010 I have been through the entire weekly release schedules during 2011 - you can hear what I chose (nearly 700 tracks) on Spotify here: http:// open.spotify.com/user/skywave/playlist/7zM78yWhOpPewkudq7inBP or view the playlist on WE7 (no registration required) here: http:// subscription.we7.com/#/user/view-playlist!playlistId=2240820

Why don't you get several people to take turns in doing it so that no one is doing it week after week? It's obviously very time consuming for one person to do all the time, but I make full use of it for my online playlists so would be sorry if it went: http:// subscription.we7.com/#/user/view-playlist!playlistId=2240820

Hi everyone just to say, you can now listen to all the new single releases Ben has posted that are available on Spotify here: http:// open.spotify.com/user/skywave/playlist/6YWtsZKnvTG7BgzeLqLMIJ (- I'm a new member and unable to post links so please copy and paste into your browser) All new singles available on Spotify for 2011 are included. I love discovering new music so I will update this regularly. This playlist only contains new releases and isn't based on my personal preferences ;) Ben, just a suggestion, when you add new tracks to the list each week, could you please highlight that it is a new addition as it takes me at least 2 hours to go through each list! :) Must take you absolutely ages! But a HUGE THANK YOU for what you are doing!
