Record Store Day 2019
What would be the point of releasing a dance single on 7" as opposed to 12"?

Mark Goodier to host new retro chart show on GH Radio
I wonder if it just a particular week from a particular year or is the format going to be slightly different, given the link to Now. I'll be listening anyway, I was disappointed he didn't get the gig on Pick of the Pops.

iTunes Weekly Thread W/C 8th February 2019
It's bonkers that he's never got higher than #89, with the number of great songs he's released. Hope this one makes the top 40 at last.

Spotify Chart Thread [February 2019]
For goodness sake where the hell is Lizzo on Spotify? Such an obvious smash hit yet it's doing nothing.

Hilco weren't interested in HMV's long-term prospects. They just wanted to make some quick money. https://www.reddit.com/r/ukpolitics/comment...8m_from_ailing/

The store finder online seems to have been updated. If it's still there it's not one of the 27. The Oxford Street one is gone and closed with immediate effect. https://www.hmv.com/store-finder

I agree but I wasn't responding to you. dandy* said "I don’t know a single person in the UK who would stay up to watch Super Bowl"

It is niche but people do it! There's a couple guys in my office who always book the Monday off so they can watch it

United Kingdom (You Decide) · Eurovision Song Contest 2019
I think John said his song this year is more up-tempo.

United Kingdom (You Decide) · Eurovision Song Contest 2019
Michael Rice is my favourite but I think the Eurofans will finally get their way and we'll send a dance song this year. If she can do it live I'll be happy, though always a worry with dance songs in ESC. But also we've been sending a lot of mid-tempos and ballads and bombing with those too, so I dunno! Hopefully the best one on the night wins through.

That was a rumour from about a year ago which was denied by Apple.

Chart/POTP Show Presenters since 1955
Well in recent years that was the case, but in years gone by it was often an extra show! :)

Streaming - how many times do you listen to new track?
I like the idea but it'd make the chart a lot easier to rig

I haven't listened to it yet but I think Dev did Chart of the Year Part 1 and Scott Part 2

Top of the Pops - Christmas 2018
I think if they ever did consider bringing it back, Saturday teatime would be the perfect slot.

2.2 million last night - up 600k on last year's NYE show.

If they closed all those it'd be hardly worth carrying on at all

Spotify Chart Thread 2018 [VII - December]
If you think Christmas ends on Christmas Day then you're doing it wrong! ;)

Spotify Chart Thread 2018 [VII - December]
The chart is made first and foremost for the music business though, and it's not helpful for new product to be overshadowed by Christmas songs - hence why they changed the rule in the first place.

2.3m isn't nearly 3m

Top of the Pops - Christmas 2018
Best ratings since 2015. The earlier slot actually seems to be helping it, probably due to weaker competition. Should see it safely back for another year. 2015: 2.83m 2016: 1.92m 2017: 2.0m 2018: 2.3m

Top of the Pops - Christmas 2018
Yeah as much as I don't like it, Shotgun will be one of those songs they still play in 20 or 30 years time. It's a timeless pop song and not enough people are making those anymore.
