HiyaLuv!

Early again, usual excuses. Maybe got too excited about the new entries. There really wasn't much to Over Now considering the names involved. Lots of veterans entering this week. Magic is growing on me rapidly. I'll have to listen to R2 just to hear it on the radio. Also decided after 20 months to rethink the look of the chart so changed the font and colours as part of a £0 brand refresh. 01 (01) Headie One feat.

Space is your classic cosy autumn night rock ballad. Keep forgetting what that Sub Focus x Wilkinson one goes like even though it did well on my PC (personal chart). Both have done much better in the past (hi Tidal Wave and Afterglow). Not been listening to as much daytime R1 as usual recently but lots of the A-list is looking a bit deadwood (hi Holiday). Guetta x Sia has Radio 2 written all over it (not necessarily a bad thing, I've been listening to quite a bit of OJ Borg this year, a lot of his show is R1 stuff they don't play at that time of night plus I love the 80s), surprised they haven't playlisted it yet. I've never liked Royal Blood apart from How Did We Get So Dark but just gave the new one a listen and rather enjoyed it. I was a bit of an early adoptor of Ashnikko, so great to see her A-listed even though they ignored a couple of fun singles.

Lots of future new entries banging on the chart door but we're not quite there yet. Enjoy! Lots of things lurking beneath the top ten for ages without ever cracking it these days. Lols at me continually trying and failing to get into Daniel, You're Still a Child. I like that though, good to know people aren't getting massive FakeChart hits on name alone. Look at Rapture go though, not even a proper single yet but clearly will be. 01 (01) Headie One feat.

I know it's early (again) but I'm giving the new music a rest until Friday so it's just the same as if I went back 30 days from then. Maybe I was just too excited about making Sia is a Guettafield a hit. 01 (06) Headie One feat.

Been wanting to start a thread like this for a while. Apologies if it's not allowed here. Anyway, 20 months in I'm absolutely loving this personal chart business. It has sent my new music engagement into the stratosphere, enabled me to differentiate between what I actually like and what I'm trying to like and even given me several surprise #1s. I base my chart on my past 30 days of last.fm stats and I've been loving new music even more since I started this shortly after my 36th birthday. I can't imagine ever wanting to knock it on the head. So, just thought I'd start a discussion about this whole concept, ask you how you compile yours and how much of a role it's playing in your life etc. I must admit I do check my last.fm stats several times a week to see how things are developing (my equivalent of checking the Chart Update/midweeks) and it's so much fun to see the songs moving up and down. I know it's not real but a lot of the best things in life aren't - soaps, films, novels, computer games etc. I try not to manipulate/'game' it and let everything happen organically. It's also great to check other people's charts to see whose music taste is the closest to mine and to look at the Multichart to see the overall consensus and if any of my lesser-known choices have snuck in. The Multichart is interesting as it looks a bit like I imagine the official singles chart would be if streaming wasn't a thing (the Official Sales Chart is not that as many hugely popular acts don't do well on it due the way their fans consume music in 2020). Which is ironic as my musical life is now built around streaming. Scouring the New Music Friday/Radio 1 playlists every week to add contenders to my new music playlist that feeds into my Top 40 is so much fun and it's also rather entertaining when a long-runner just won't go away because I'm still enjoying it so much two months down the line (we're not talking Dance Monkey-esque runs though). It's great to see people like Kylie flying high in my own personal top ten as well as the Multichart, I'm sure she'd still be able to get top 20s at least in old money. Another fantastic thing about having a top 40 is that it ensures I have my very own mainly-killer-little-filler 'today's top bangers' playlist when I just need a couple of hours of big familiar current anthems to go about my business to! Sometimes the odd rather crappy/underwhelming thing sneaks in at #36 for one week by default after quietly generating enough streams but I can live with that. Anyway - personal charts: aren't they wonderful? Go!

Another early one! But it would look exactly the same if I waited etc, listening to music from 1983 right now. Normally I hate IDLES but rather enjoying Model Village, even if it does have several cringey bits. Think New Order have broken Sam Fender's record for the quickest chart appearance after a release. That only came out yesterday. 01 (01) Miley Cyrus: Midnight Sky (4-1-1) 02 (10) Solardo x Paul Woolford feat. Pamela Fernandez: Tear It Up (21-10-2) 03 (05) Cardi B feat.

Vogue is in because the maxi-single and therefore the single mix were added to streaming services. And remix streams just count towards the main track's streams round here, unless the remix is the main version being pushed commercially or something (see 36 and 38). Strike a pose! Also, nice to mark its 30th albeit belatedly. 01 (02) Fontaines D.C.: A Lucid Dream (27-23-2-1) 02 (06) Jayda G: Both Of Us (18-6-2) 03 (01) Taylor Swift: cardigan (6-1-1-1-3) 04 (NE) Miley Cyrus: Midnight Sky (4) 05 (23) Glass Animals: Tangerine (23-5) 06 (16) John Summit: Deep End (16-6) 07 (21) Cardi B feat.

UPDATE: Well, the reason this chart was early was because I needed to start work on this, which it's based on. Ladies and gentlemen, Fake Audio Top of the Pops 21st August 2020!

I thought R1 were done with Everything Everything. Nice surprise. I've interviewed them three times. Loving that Magic Gang single, even if it sounds more like a Radio 2 song. Very Dexys with the brass. Maybe Tina Turner is just too uncool for R1 even as a featured artist. It's no HiyaLuv but I've been playing it a lot. Surely they'll have to give in if it keeps rising.

I don't think a song really feels like a single until I've heard it on daytime radio. Sometimes I feel like I'm listening to the modern equivalent of a b-side when I play something by a well-known act that clearly isn't going to do anything or get much airplay. I really do miss the days when almost everything R1 playlisted went Top 40. There are like 90 tracks on New Music Friday every week and it can get very overwhelming. I find the tunes that stay with me are generally ones R1 get behind (these tend to be the most anthemic and memorable ones), even though I try to give other things a chance. This is why I'm so glad I started my personal chart in Jan 2019, it helps me make sense of things and work out what I actually like as opposed to what I'm trying to like. The more streams I give something, the more I clearly enjoy it. I definitely don't remember walking into Our Price and being met with 90 new singles on a Monday teatime! But yeah, none of this probably addresses your point. Songs definitely sound more exciting on daytime R1 and even R2 if we're talking Kylie etc though. It's probably a combination of all the compression and other audio processing they use, the jingles, presenters hyping everything up and the fact I know millions of people across the country are also tuned in. A Foals song that misses the Top 100 can feel huge, for instance. It just feels communal in a way hopping on Spotify doesn't. I'm still yet to slam on Hot Hits or any of those playlists. Don't see the point. I can just listen to my personal chart playlist (which my new music playlist feeds into) and enjoy almost everything! Little example: those Tekashi 6nine songs that chart so highly don't feel like hits to me as I don't hear them anywhere. Also, the ones I have given a try are bloody awful.
