Or when they ask about a massive hit from 1995 and the contestant says "oh that's too recent for me, Ken"

Your Music Collection
Yeah I'm about a third of the way through cataloging my collection on Discogs. It's quite useful when I go charity shopping because sometimes I can't remember whether I've got something already, or if I got rid of it years ago, or if I thought about buying it recently but didn't actually buy it etc. Also fun to create a Wishlist on there. I've got about 3000 on there now. I probably won't ever buy them all but it's useful to know what's out there that I don't have.. and every now and again I'll treat myself on a Discogs spending spree LD

The Most Played Songs of the Decade
What strikes me is that a lot of these songs are up-beat timeless pop songs that could've worked in almost any era, from a music & lyrics point of view. That really is the key to a real hit. It's not about chasing a trend. The public just want a hooky melody and a catchy lyric. A lot of these songs will still be getting played in 30 years time.

Artists' tactics to get a hit album/single~
I don't mind when they do like a signed CD or a vinyl or one with a free 7" single or something like that, but when they're doing 5 different types of cassette (which mostly won't be listened to) I think it's taking the mick.

American chart system
Yes, I've thought for a while we need new genre charts for new songs only. I'd also like songs older than a few years banned from the Top 100 and a Catalogue Chart started

LOL at "instrumental of Hung Up". You mean "Gimme Gimme Gimme"?

Heart FM Playlist 2020
It really is bonkers isn't it? I understand that they test everything to death and they don't like taking chances, but surely a little more variety in the new music wouldn't hurt.
