Very minor thing, but does anyone know what the reason for the lack of punctuation is in the biographies? It'll say something like "XXX born in London on January 28th 1975 he first came to prominence..." I'm guessing there must be some technical reason for it?

thanks for the pics

Could you possibly post a couple screenshots of the insides of the compilations chart book please? The Amazon listings seem to suggest the charts themselves are in the Albums book, is that right?

Upload it to Mixcloud.com - they pay royalties on the music

He was at #51 on Spotify yesterday too.. reckon he'll make it.

And Måns twice too!

Haha we heard Love Shine A Light three times tonight, that's obviously going to do well

Helped by his appearance on Lorraine earlier

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

Also now confirmed for June 26, a 9 CD + 1 DVD boxset https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0886YXQ3J/ref=...g=tapatalk02-20 The vinyl set is called All That She Wants: The Classic Albums and the CD set is called All That She Wants: The Classic Collection. This is a proper UK release btw, through Demon.

She should give the three singles a chance to burn out before running with Hallucinate

New date for Ace Of Base vinyl set, June 26 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ace-Base-Wants-hea...SB2V/ref=sr_1_1

Hallucinate is surely a future number 1

Join me on my YouTube channel for a watch-along of two classic episodes of #TOTP - tonight at 7pm! We'll be watching the shows from 26/01/1995 and 24/05/2002! https://youtube.com/user/PopUnlimited2015/videos

Maria Mena's new single Not OK is out tomorrow

Best way to do it by the way is download the app - then you can scan the barcodes to add them to your 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

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.

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.

There is the Indie Breakers Chart already https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/indep...breakers-chart/

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"?

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.
