I know the book is coming as I have offered thoughts on a draft a few weeks ago. I don’t have a release date but hopefully soon.

Any streaming must be done on the Wednesday - streaming on a Thursday can get lost at times due to delays in reporting. Different services have different delays and not all do delay.

Have checked and sadly not - It's only charting appearance was in 2016. Entry - Exit - Peak - Wks - Chart 03.09.16 - 03.09.16 - 90 - 1 - UK Single Chart 03.09.16 - 10.09.16 - 38 - 2 - UK Digital Download 10.09.16 - 24.09.16 - 47 - 3 - TV Airplay 03.09.16 - 03.09.16 - 37 - 1 - Welsh Singles 03.09.16 - 03.09.16 - 39 - 1 - Scottish Singles

I’ll have a look tonight and see. But it would have to be a physical to have charted on the Welsh chart at that point.

It has happened before - back in 2007 the chart for Wales started to show less than 75 records per week, with a low point of just 10 on 18 April 2009. The chart size average was 23 records a week between 1 Jan and 10 Oct 2009, before Download data was added and the chart began to appear much as the main top 200 singles chart did. 5 times since July the chart has been less than a Top 100, with the lowest being 90 - 27 August 2022 chart if your interested in buying that specific issue to see. (If you do, let Chris know why you are buying it!)

Sadly no, as we are not provided with any.

We still have them as they are part of the subscription package. They are very heavily influenced by physical only sales, with no streaming as far as I can tell. Last week, for example, we only had a Top 97 for the Welsh Singles as only 97 different titles sold during the week. I do not believe there is a Northern Ireland only chart, although they could probably create one.

As pointed out, you have to buy the full magazine for the 200 albums. We do have some exclusive charts as well - such as Year To Date and Top 200 Airplay which is not available elsewhere.

I have emailed Chris and have asked him to look into this. I assume that your subscription can be amended to start from that issue and so Chris can complete that.

Thanks for the message. UKChartsPlus is run by volunteers and so we all have day jobs. It can take a few days for subscription information to be updated. Rest assured that Chris, who deals with subscriptions, will see it and will ensure you do not miss an issue.

The above listing is actually last weeks Top 40 Year To Date - so if you want to see the full Top 100 it's in last weeks ChartsPlus Issue 1089.

To answer the question - yes. Restricting data to purely the Top 75 (So Top 75 since 1978 when it began) and removing all entries that peaked between 1 and 40 (regardless of how many weeks said record spent between 41 and 75) we have MinOfDate - Wks - Peak - Artist - Title - Label - DLCatNum 05/02/2022 - 22 - 42 - Ruth B. - Dandelions - Columbia - USSM11703468 11/01/2014 - 20 - 42 - Demi Lovato - Let It Go - Walt Disney/Virgin EMI - USWD11366344 09/07/2016 - 20 - 50 - Joel Adams - Please Don't Go - Will Walker - AUZN31500442 29/07/2017 - 20 - 57 - Travi$ Scott - Butterfly Effect - Epic - USSM11704799 07/11/2020 - 20 - 48 - Polo G - Martin & Gina - Columbia - USQX92002595 05/02/2022 - 20 - 46 - D.O.D & Carla Monroe - Still Sleepless - Axtone - GBKCF2101056 30/04/2005 - 19 - 48 - Faithless - Insomnia - Cheeky - GBBXH9820026 25/06/2016 - 19 - 47 - TwentyOne Pilots - Ride - Fueled By Ramen/Atlantic - USAT21500598 19/08/2017 - 18 - 41 - 21 Savage - Bank Account - Slaughter Gang/Epic - USSM11705546 15/11/2014 - 16 - 48 - Ariana Grande & The Weeknd - Love Me Harder - Republic - USUM71409728 30/07/2016 - 16 - 59 - Frenship featuring Emily Warren - Capsize - Columbia - GBKPL1665135 18/05/2019 - 16 - 45 - Becky Hill & Weiss - I Could Get Used To This - Eko/Polydor - GBUM71900997 31/10/2020 - 16 - 45 - Yung Bleu featuring Drake - You're Mines Still - OVO - USWB12004394 26/02/2022 - 16 - 43 - Elley Duhé - Middle Of The Night - RCA - USRV81901815 10/07/1982 - 15 - 44 - Ken Barrie - Postman Pat - Post Music - PP 001 27/08/2016 - 15 - 47 - Tory Lanez - Luv - Interscope - USUM71604429 05/08/2017 - 15 - 45 - Hardy Caprio featuring One Acen - Unsigned - A2i - GBLFP1738020 03/04/2021 - 15 - 50 - Maroon 5 & Megan Thee Stallion - Beautiful Mistakes - Interscope - USUM72102260 20/11/2004 - 14 - 44 - House Of Pain - Jump Around - Tommy Boy - USTB10300119 20/01/2007 - 14 - 44 - Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama - MCA - USMC17446153 20/08/2016 - 14 - 46 - Tove Lo - Cool Girl - Polydor - SEUM71601198 18/04/2020 - 14 - 44 - Robbie Doherty & Keees - Pour The Milk - Relentless - GBHAD1902177 01/05/2021 - 14 - 46 - Regard, Troye Sivan & Tate McRae - You - Ministry Of Sound - GBCEN2100036 If we expand the weeks to the Top 100 (Top 75 1978-1982 and Top 100 since - with 1991-1992 back to a Top 75) we get MinOfDate - Wks - Peak - Artist - Title - Label - DLCatNum 18/02/2017 - 34 - 42 - Imagine Dragons - Believer - Interscope - USUM71700626 20/11/2004 - 33 - 44 - House Of Pain - Jump Around - Tommy Boy - USTB10300119 19/09/2020 - 33 - 48 - Polo G - Martin & Gina - Columbia - USQX92002595 11/03/1989 - 32 - 60 - The 45 King - The King Is Here / The 900 Number - Trax - DRX9 10/10/2015 - 29 - 58 - Drake & Future - Jumpman - Cash Money/Epic/Republic - USCM51500300 28/12/2013 - 27 - 42 - Demi Lovato - Let It Go - Walt Disney/Virgin EMI - USWD11366344 17/02/2007 - 22 - 59 - Mika - Lollipop - Casablanca/Island - USC7R0600045 21/04/2007 - 22 - 44 - Israel Kamakawiwo'ole - Somewhere Over The Rainbow - Big Boy - USMAC0100119 25/06/2016 - 22 - 47 - TwentyOne Pilots - Ride - Fueled By Ramen/Atlantic - USAT21500598 22/07/2017 - 22 - 57 - Travi$ Scott - Butterfly Effect - Epic - USSM11704799 22/05/2021 - 22 - 64 - Surf Curse - Freaks - Big Joy - TCACA1429223 05/02/2022 - 22 - 42 - Ruth B. - Dandelions - Columbia - USSM11703468 09/02/2008 - 21 - 55 - Vampire Weekend - A-Punk - XL - XLS305CD 02/07/2016 - 21 - 50 - Joel Adams - Please Don't Go - Will Walker - AUZN31500442 12/08/2017 - 21 - 41 - 21 Savage - Bank Account - Slaughter Gang/Epic - USSM11705546 18/05/2019 - 21 - 45 - Becky Hill & Weiss - I Could Get Used To This - Eko/Polydor - GBUM71900997 29/01/2022 - 21 - 46 - D.O.D & Carla Monroe - Still Sleepless - Axtone - GBKCF2101056 04/09/1993 - 20 - 45 - Clubhouse featuring Carl - Light My Fire - PWL Continental - PWL272 17/02/2001 - 20 - 42 - Eva Cassidy - Over The Rainbow - Hot/Blix Street - HIT 16 30/04/2005 - 20 - 48 - Faithless - Insomnia - Cheeky - GBBXH9820026 23/07/2016 - 20 - 59 - Frenship featuring Emily Warren - Capsize - Columbia - GBKPL1665135 11/01/2020 - 20 - 66 - Noah Cyrus - July - Records - USQX91901092 I then wondered... And I removed form the data set anything that was a Top 40 position. What, I thought, would the list become if we included everything that was just in the range 41-75? Would the list change? And if so, by how much? Again, just looking at weeks between 41 and 75 we have the below.

The last one I have - they almost certainly make them each year. I know that Chris had to purchase them and did so for 2015 but it arrived so late (April I think) her felt the momentum had gone in terms of printing it.

Usher ended up as 102 :)

It is indeed Taylor Swift and Shake It off at 101 in the YEar End chart for 2015 - ChartsPlus received it at the time and did not print it as we ran out of time. Don’t think we got it until March 2016 and it was too difficult to print at that time.

The OCC can't loose the rights as they own them. They are a creation of the British Record Industry, so, essentially, the British Record Industry own the charts. The waters are muddied as the OCC compile the Irish and French charts - those they could loose the licence to create.

The full chart is a Top 100, in terms of this one with the ACR and SCR rules. Why not change R1 show to be the Top 100, and you play the NEW and RE, biggest climber, one of the top 3 longest runners (rotates each week for variety), the climbers of more than 5 places and the Top 10 full. That's about 30-40 songs per week and so you can do a full 3 hours show. Moving to the Top 100 gives a larger base to draw from to reduce repetition (whether you agree with Top 10 in full or other elements of the above at all).

Hummmm... Each week the OCC don't get streaming data on time for the Thursday, so that is 'calculated', so this could use accurate data so that could explain the difference. Equally, they could be using a different ratio (I can't remember if Billboard and the OCC use different streaming ratio) so that could also be a reason. Equally, some tracks do have small amounts of physical releases which are ignored form this, again, if the gaps are small between sales could account for the moves. We'll need to see more examples as time passes.

Yes, so sorry about the typos…. Do please flag any and I will absolutely fix. I keep reading it loads of times, but my eye reads what I WANT to see not what IS there….

Nope. I did show the valentines mug to my wife who suggested she knew where she would put it if I where to buy it for her…. I like the idea of them having a shop but I’d rather they did data requests… i.e. put something together where you could by a size of chart (up to a length they specific) and a time period and get the CSV files or the data that way. It could be relatively automated as well so they wouldn’t need to monitor it.

49 on the file sent to ChartsPlus from the BPI.

Hi all, just a reminder that this series is launched on 1 February, should anybody wish to subscribe. Thank you to those who have begun and I have received loads of emails and correspondence about this. I really can't wait to release it all to you!

I'd love to, but unfortunately all we get sent is ARTIST TITLE COMPANY CORPORATE GROUP RECORD TYPE NEW CERT EMOTIONS KILLING ME SOFTLY WITH HIS SONG RCA LABEL GROUP SONY MUSIC SINGLE Silver So have no way of finding it. But thanks for the link!

Oh I agree on that! It's also what they sent ChartsPlus as well. I'm just finding it hard to locate an actual recording of the thing :)
